THE SINKING OF THE TITANIC.

The ship is sinking" the cry went
round,
20, God, have mercy lest we should
drown"
AYE, aye, sir" was the sailors cry,
And the captain murmured, my God,
must we die?"
MY ship must sink down in the deep
And carry my fellow men to their
last Sleep"
1T was the pride of my heart, my
beautiful ship
Now fast comes the water in, dip by
dip"
"Ol my ship there are mothers and
children, husbands and wives,
o, God, have mercy and spare their
lives"
There are young men and women to
each other are dear,
o, Father in heaven, be thou very
near;
And these little children who need
mothers care,
o, merciful Father, their lives wilt
Thou Spare?
MY ship is going-to the life boats
leap!
o, kind. watchful shepherd, watch
over thy sheep"
Alas. boys, It's too late, o, pray like
a child,
And God will have mercy and calm
the sea wild.
There is nothing so great, but what
God can destroy
Be British, my men, my lads, ship
ahoy!
o, Christ, who made the sea be still.
Do calm these waves If it be thy will.
My friends, we are sinking, will you
all sing with me?
That old, sweet hymn, Nearer, my
God to Thee"

NArIoN,s COAL SUPPLY.

The United States has become
half billion ton coal country. During
the last two years the total production
has averaged just trif1e short of the
500 900 900 mark, exceeding that hg-
,,ure in 1910 and almost reaching 1t in
ll91l. Il Is considered probable that
lin the future it will be bad year
whose production falls short of this
quantity. The final figures of produc-
ton have been compiled by Edward
wv. Parker, the government coal sta
Itistician, and are discussed by him in
statement Just issued by the United
State Geological Survey. They show
total production in 1911 of 496,lSS
3OS short tons, valued at the mines at
$685., 91O,113. OF this production Penn
sylvania anthracite amounted to 80
464 OCT short tons, valued at $174,952,-
AIS, and bituminous coal and ligD''
Ito O5,724.241 tons, valued at $780,
1857, 698 The decrease in production
in 1911 was 5,4OS,070 tons, or little
over l per cent, in quantity, and 49,
GAG, 908, or little over 0.5 per cent in
value. The decrease is attributed by
Mr.. Parker wholly to tn edepresse'
condition of the iron and steel trade
in 1911, which was reflected in the de
creased production of coke. The three
leading coke producing state alone
showed an aggregate decrease of nea'
ly 100000 short tons of coal.
The decrease in the production of
bituminous coal compared with 49,
was 1,3S6,901 tons, but this loss was
largely made up by the increase j.
the production of anthracite, whic
was 5.97S,S31 short tons greater than
in 1910.
Considering the marked decrease
the production and consumption of
coke and the fact that large quaint
ties Of coal in addition to that used
for coke-making are consumed in the
iron trade, the comparatively small
net decrease of less than 100000
tons In coal production must be TAX
en- as an indication that othed manu-
featuring Industries, the transporta-
ZION companies and the country gen.
ierallly were prosperous. The aver
age price for bituminous coal was 1
cent a tol lower in 1911 than in
1910 and that of anthracite was 3
cents higher.
The total number of men employed
in the coal mines of the United
States in 1911 was 722,322, Of which
1885 worked in the anthracite
mines of Pennsylvania. The average
number OF days worked in the an
thracite mines was 246 and In the
other mines 211. The average pro-
ductlon per man was 31s tons a day
in the bituminous and Ignite mines
and 2:13 tons a day in the anthra-
cite. The time lost by strikes in
1911 was Insignificant

AUTO ROUTE.
Eldora Enthusiasts Mark Il To Mar.
shaIItown Yesterday With
White and Yellow.

Marshalltown, July 81. Special:
For the purpose of marking the off.
cial automobile route from st. Paul
to St. Louis, called the Saints High.
way, a party of Eldora auto owners
spent Monday between Ackley and
this city. After finishing their work
as far as this city, they spent the late
afternoon in interesting local auto
mobilists in the project, and inducing
them to mark the route as far south
as Oskaloosa, at least.
1t is expected that the Grinnell auto
mobilists will mark the route from
their city to Oskaloosa, and at that
place the Oskaloosa men will continue
the work on to the south.
The route is being marked on the
telephone poles. the colors used being
white and yellow. The system being
used is to stripe five telephone poles
near to and at the corner wherever
the road changes direction. The
bands of white paint six inches wide
are made around each pole, and be-
tween the two white bands yellow
band six inches wide is painted.
Approaching every corner the road
turns, two telephone poles are striped.
One pole at the intersection is also
painted, and two more poles on the
road short distance past the turn or
intersection are painted to indicate
the route beyond the cross roads or
turn. The poles are painted only at
the intersection or turns in the road
so that auto drivers need not look for
them elsewhere
