MIND AND EODY.

"When we think it is not alone
the mind that thinks; it is the whole
man, and the process begins with
the body. The bodily fiber or quail
ity reaches to the thought. You will
never get fine thought out of a
coarse body. Nor less will you get
sound thought out of an unsound
body. The bodily condition strikes
through and shows itself in the quail
ity of thought. A vast amount of
the poor, illogical, insipid, morbid,
extravagant, pessimistic thought that
finds its way into books and sermons
and conversation has its origin in
poor bodies and bad health. The
body lies at the basis of success in
all respects. REV. DR.. Munger OF
Yale University.

FIRST FOUND COAL IN 1879
Father Hennepin, French Jesuit Mis-
sionary, Said to Have Located
a Mine In illinois.

The first mention of the occur
renee of coal in the United States,
according to government experts. IS
made in the journal of Father Hem
nepin, a French Jesuit missionary,
who in 1879 recorded the site of a
"cole mine" on Illinois river, near
the present city Of Ottawa, Ill. The
first actual mining of coal was in
the Richmond basin, Va, about sew
enty years after Father Hennepin's
discovery in Illinois, but the first
records of production from the Vir-
ginia mines were for the year 1929.
when, according to one authority.
$4,000 tons were mined. Ohio prob
ably ranks second in priority Of pro-
duction, as coal was discovered there
in 1853, but the records of produc-
ton date back to 1898.
The mining of anthracite in Penn
sylvania began about 1890, and it is
said that in 1907 ifty-ive tons were
shipped to Columbia, Pa. Reports
' of the anthracite coal trade are usu-
ally begun with the year 1920, when
365 long tons were shipped to Phila-
delphia from the Lehigh region.
Prior to this, however, in 1874, a
shipment of twenty-five tons was
made from Carbonate, also to Phil
adelphia, and the production is con-
sidered to have begun in that year.
1t is likely that the actual produc-
ton prior to 1920 was between $500
and 5000 tons. The production for
1911 was 496,221,163 short tons.

TURN JAIL TO ROACH PLANT.

How the prisoners at the county
Jail Slipped n over on the new

breeding cockroaches, have succeed
ed in framing up a scheme to earn
pocket money while in jail.
A month ago, when the new sher-
if relieved the Socialist, he ordered
the jail cleaned of cockroaches, an
nouncing that he proposed to offer a
bounty for every cockroach found
after the housekeeping.

FOR SAFETY OF AERoPLANEs
Combination Of Different Ideas, Il 10
Believed, VIII Keep Flying Ma
chimes From Turning Turtle.

Much has been said in reference
to the ACCESSIBILITY of combining the
gyroscope and the aeroplane as a
means of preventing the latter from
turning turtle under certain wind
conditions. but the practical combi-
nation of the two has been made only
recently and the machine put to a
test. The whole apparatus adds a
weight of but thirty pounds to the
aeroplane, which includes two wheels
to control both the longitudinal and
transverse stability of the flying ma
chine and the motor by which these
are driven, but this impedimenta
may be also made use of for sending
wireless messages. The preliminary
tests made were of the most s~atisfac-
tory character, although made under
the most adverse conditions. The
automatic control is said to have
held the machine at an v keel at
all times, and when the wind falls
below thirty-six miles an hour it is
designed to cause the machine auto
matically to volplane to the ground.

EFFICIENCY OF THE WOMAN

No matter how useful a labor-sav-
ing device may be, if a woman
doesn't know how to work 30 that
she can get the most out of that
tool, the value of the device is les
sened. Too many women put too
much emphasis on the tool and too
little emphasis on themselves. If the
woman is inefficient how a she use
a tool except in an inefficient way?
I believe that woman's liberation
from drudgery in Homework lies not
so much in tools and devices as in
her own improved advancement in
methods of work.--Ladies' Home
Journal.
