PREPARE ANSWER TO MINERS

New York March 6.-Work on the
preparation of an answer to the de-
mands of the union miners in the an,
thracite districts was commenced to.
day by the committee appointed by
the operators. and it will be ready for
presentation when the next joint col.
ference is held, which will probably
be week from today.
1t is understood that the operators
will protest against a contract of only
year, as the time of peace guaranteed
by such an agreement would be toe
short, and the mine owners are anx.
ions for peace, with prospects of a
great demand for anthracite coal loom
ing up in the near future. Union lead
ers, on the other hand, are very de
sirous of one-year agreement, as un
der three year scale, it is said, the
union members become very apathetic
in the payment of dues.
AS to wages, while the operators
win almost certainly turn down the
demand for twenty per cent increase
they are said to be willing to compro
mise on this point The eight hour
work day demand may also be favor
ably considered. The demand for the
right to provide method for coliec-
ton Of revenue for the union win doubt
less be refused absolutely This de.

mand, 1t is alleged, would mean that
the operators would assist the union in
getting members to pay their dues by
an arrangement by which dues would
be deducted from pay envelopes. Such
an arrangement is now in force In
some of the bituminous districts, but
anthracite operators declare they will
not even consider the proposition.
A belief prevails here that if strike
is declared in the bituminous fields the
anthracite miners will remain at work,
or vice versa, in order that the union
may collect dues from one section OF
the other to carry on the strike.

CLIMATE HURTS WEAK LUNGS

In this climate there are always
numbers of people whose lungs are
weak and who either have a chronic
cough or else catch cold easily and
are very likely to take pneumonia.
A New York girl, Miss Louise Jesel,
has written letter on this subject,
saying: In the past year have been
troubled with weak lungs and palpita-
ton of the heart. Having heard that
Vinol was a great strengthened | be-
gan taking it and it has done me a
world of good
have no cough now, my heart is
all right and l have gained greatly in
strength and energy"
Naturally, as soon as her strength
had been built up to the right point
by Vinol, all symptoms of her former
troubles vanished.
This delicious cod liver and iron
remedy, without oil, not only creates
strength and enriches the blood but
always agrees with the stomach.
Get bottle of vinol today and be-
gin receiving its curative power. We
guarantee it to please you.-HAYS &

DOCTORS DISCUSS LONGEVITY

Berlin, March G.-The information
al Conference of Life Assurance Med
ical Directors opened here today with
q discussion on means and methods
of promoting longevity. Prominent
physicians and surgeons of Germany
Great Britain, France, Italy and other
nations are in attendance.
The conference has recently made
thorough Investigations into the sub
iect of the duration and expectation
of life in the various European nations
and has complied, with the assistance
of government officials, some interest
ing statistics on centenarians.
Bulgaria leads all other countries OF
the world in the number of people who
have attained to the age of 100 years
or more. There are 1883 centenarians
in Car Ferdinand's little country
Roumania comes second with 1,075;

A FORCED COLLISION.

In March Is at Johannisthal, just out
side Of Berlin, flying machine driven by
Schadc and an aeroplane handled by Ret
finger came together while in the air a
short distance above the ground. The
machines Were instantly smashed and
sent crashing to the earth. Neither of the
sviators was injured, but a passenger
was hurt. PROFESSIONALLY. this collision
was brought about by the mutual effect
of the disturbed air between the TWO ma
chimes. The next mishap Of a kindred
character occurred at Douai, France, on
June 49, but with disastrous results. Cap
tain Dubois and Lieutenant Megnan,
both of the army, were operating aero
planes during a dense fog, and drove
into each other while going at high speed.
Lieutenant Meignan was killed almost
instantly, and Captain Dubois died in the
hospital a few hours later. The machines
were splintered by the collision. Here VIC
have a counterpart of conditions which
have so often caused trouble upon the
water, but conditions which may be even

WRECKED BY AN AIR POCKET,

| Two French army officers LieutenantS
Briez and Burlez, on July started Tor
Belfort, OH the eastern frontier. leaving
the aeronautic station at Villa Coublay.
Just outside Of Paris. Lieutenant Briez
had the start Of his associate, and was
already about six hundred feet up. when
Lieutenant Burlez overlook him. passing
at greater speed something like hun
dred feet above. Lieutenant Burlez's ma
chine created so il Is said, a downward
moving hole in the air. and this struck
Lieutenant Briefs monoplane In such
manner as to destroy its equilibrium.
Lieutenant Bricz and his machine were
dashed TO the earth, the aviator having
both legs broken and being otherwise
serious but not fatally injured. In this
case the innocent cause Of the accident
was the movement of the acroplane pass
ing above at height of a hundred feet,
while Mile. Dutrieus drop was probably
brought about by the manGuvrinS Of the
two monoplanes beneath her. These acct
dents have brought US face to face with
new problems in the art Of mechanical
night-they show us that We have much
10 learn about the air in which we arc
seeking TO vie with the bird.
We have had our own lessons along this
line. and these within the last month or
more. At Garden City Long Island, on
August l. two mOnopanes started from
the ground about the same time-both
headed in the same direction. One ma
chine was about twenty feet above the
ground. and the other one a short dis
tance higher up and just over the lower
one. Suddenly the aviator seemed to lose
control OF the upper monoplane and 1t
dropped like a dead weight upon the lower
machine. Here we have virtual dupli
cation Of the mishap to the two French
army officers, save that the upper ma
chine was the one disturbed by the com
motion caused by the one nearer the
ground and fortunately the shortness of

quicker it rose sharply the stronger the
wind blew, and you know Just what al
ways happened when the wind either
shifted or lost its force Either one of
these constituted in effect an air hole.
Again. If the aviator is travelling against
"A stratum OF wind OF definite speed
and then purposeiy descends. reaching an
air belt of lower speed or altered dlrec-
ton, these changes may reduce the force
Of the al striking the surfaces of his
planes. and this drop in pressure may
cause his machine to fall speedily earth

Of the imaginary vacant places In the air
We must bear In mind that the problem
OF the flying machine IL quite distinct
from that of the balloon The balloon

air IL displaces-when It rlses-or remains

was Natures effort to re-establish her
balance thus upset which caused the dam
age.
These circumstances are in a way re-
produced In the air when its equilibrium
Is disturbed. but II is apparent that the
reactions are more widespread than they
would be If caused in tho water by the
motion of a body of similar weight. In
other words. flying machine Weighing
only few hundreds of pounds creates an
area OF agitation far greater than ves-
sci OF many hundreds Of tons advancing
at a much lower speed through the water.
The reason for this is really a simple
one. but the aeronaut has, alas, given
the fact but little attention. Water Is
virtually solid or incompressible. Air. on
the other hand, is highly compressible,
and when released from constraint reacts
violently hv virtue of Its elasticity.

The very nature Of the waters incom-

The flying machine, in going ahead, hits
the air a succession Of rapid blows and
bv this causes an area of compression
which IS equal in the force OF ifs reaction
to the weight Of the hyins machine. The
fact Of it is. this compression actually
affects q volume Of air equal IN weigh,
TO the air craft II sustains. and as q cubic
foot OF atmospheric air weighs only 20

figuring will show how wide Is the area
upon which the ayiato: must draw for
his support.

-%iiE eve. growing number OF human
lives sacrificed to the advancement
Il OF aviation gives us ample reason
for pause and serious thought. The toll
SO far paid is rapidly nearing a total OF
two hundred since the death of Lieuten-
ant Selfr.dge, OF the United States Army
in September, 1903. Naturally, some OF
these fatal accidents were 10 be expected
after flying became a money making
spectacle in some directions. The profess
sional aviator felt obliged to make MS
fights thrilling in the eyes Of the spec
tator. and TO that end ne has done things
Of a venturesome nature for which he
has paid dearly more than once.
We arc not concerned with this phase
Of the art. FoOlhardiness is no real part
Of the effort 70 advance human night
even though attendant mishaps may
teach useful lessons. What is Of serious
concern is the loss Of life Of those ear
nestly devoted TO the furtherancc Of the
science and the adaptation Of the flying
machine to the needs Of the army aud the
navy I'm time OF war. These officer stu
dents have gone into the work with that
Of the utmost value TO the promotion Of
helpful knowledge, and they have gener-
ally avoided those hair-raising perform
ances which are valuable only as an as

These calm-mlnded devOtees-the term
enthusiasts might be misleading-have
earnestly strlyen to make the most out OF
the instruments placed in their hands, but
in doing this they have made more than
one fatal stumble despite their caution.
The use Of the aeroplane in recent mill
tary manGuvres has eXacted its doleful
price, and il is time that due thought
was given some of these many accidents.
