Canaries and Coal Miners

Canaries are to be lifesavers. Nobody
knows who found this out, but the canary
succumbs to mine gas 10 times as quickly
as q human being, and far more rapidly
than any other living thing. Perhaps the
pet OF some poor miner taught him this
law of his personal physical salvation,
and the tradition spread as subtly and
speedily as traditions do. says the Wall
Street Journal.
So the canary is now a scientific ad-
junct TO coal mining. Demand for coal
and realization of former wasteful meth
ods in extraction are calling renewed at
tention to old coal mines. But nothing is
more dangerous than an old coal mine
Gas and black damps accumulate there
And such mines furnish fine fields for
lfesaving efficiency.
So % government mine rescue experts
from Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois
Indiana, West Virginia, with five ca
naries, are camping in one of the mines
of the Pittsburg Coal company. They
will determine many problems bearing
upon the disused coal mine, its value and
it's danger Leading coal companies are
watching results through representatives
who enter the mines and visit the res
cuers' camp And the beautiful little yell

setting of the coal will become the per-
manent adjunct of all mine rescue

Odd Damage Suits

Accidents on the Mesabt Range result
in damage suits which furnish much of
the litigation occupying the courts. As
a sequel to losing his hat in the Adams
mine at Eveleth, one miner asks $50. 64S
indemnity from the steel corporation
The defendant claims that while in the
act of recovering his hat his arm was
caught between the side of the shaft and
a cage, and he sustained permanent in

Journal Because he was furnished with a.

Mexican Missionaries Undisturbed

Missionaries in Mexico report, as a
rule, that their work has been less

there than they would have expectedd

number of Bibles with the full belief
that they will be sold as previous ship :

ligious work without interruption

The Presbyterian church of Mexico,
closely related to that in this coun-
try, is strongest in Mexico City and
has repeatedly had the protection of
the present government for its inter-
ests. 1t reports to Presbyterian head
quarters here that schools are much
disturbed but that strictly spiritual
work is little affected. Bishop Aves of
the Episcopal missionary district re-
ports that his American work is strong

pered by the removal home of large

fand Catholic, in this country over the
agitation to write Confuclanism into the
constitution, now in the making, as the
state religion of China. American mis-
sion boards having work in China are
receiving reports and sending them out
widely. Added interest obtains here be-
cause the leader of the movement Chen
Huan- Chang, was educated at Columbia
University, New York. and holds from
that university the degree of doctor of
philosophy. He is a member of the Han
Lin, or National Academy of Literature
of China, which holds, according to DR..
Chen, that If the new China is to be
saved from political and moral anarchy

lished.

1t Is reekoned in this country that the

past must have some bearing in the pres

tanned friendly attitude toward Chris
tanlty, and was one of the three vice
roys who interposed at the time of the
Boxer uprising to protect missionaries
ana native Christians from violence. He
has placed two nieees for education in
the Methodist Episcopal school at
Tlentsin, and has personally made lib
eral gifts to schools of the London Mis-
sionary society. His portrait is on the
walls of the last named society as one
of its foremost benefactors In an in
terview with Bishop Bashford not long
since he stated definitely that 1t was his
conviction that Christian ethics are neces-
sary to the building of a new China. His
remarkable call of less than a year ago
to the churches of Christendom to join
in day of prayer for the new Chinese
republic is fresh In the minds of all.
Leaders in America most familiar with
conditions say the outcome is exceed
ingly doubtful. Parliament sessions have
been discontinued and President Yuan
has assumed what amounts to dictatorial
powers. DR.. George Heber Jones of the

New Cardinals to Be Created

A consistory is soon to be held at the
Vatican, possibly near the end of this
month. when it is expected that six and
possibly eight new cardinals will be ere
ated. None of these will be American.
The countries to be honored in largest
measure will be Germany and SPAIN with
enough Italians raised to the purple to
keep the balance of power in the col
lege. Germany will be given a repre-
sentative in the curia, or governing body
of the church at Rome. The archbishop
of Cologne. Monsigneur Hartmann, just
now in Rome at the head of a Pilgrim
age, will be raised to the college. TO
Dominican order will be given a repre-
sentative, for it has long been without
one in the college. A new Spanish car
dinal will be named to reside in Rome
In place of the late Cardinal Wives Tuto,
and Spanish prelate will be raised to
the purple in place of the late Cardinal
Aguirre. So will be raised the new arch
bishop of Vienna. Little is known as vet
about the Italians to be honered beyond
the archbishop of Genoa and the arch
bishop of Bologna.
In this connection it has become know
that the Vatican is much impressed by
book just published by the Rev. Robert
Hugh Benson, the son of the late Angl-
can archbishop of Canterbury, who left
the Anglican for the Roman communion.
Inc titie is NOnlessiOnS OIL d CONVERT,
and the parts that impressed the Catho-
lie church authorities were those in which
Father Benson praised the zeal and in
telligence of Anglican clergy of his in
innate acquaintance. The usual course
of converts has been to do the oppo-
site but the Vatican is now said to be-
lieve that this new development will
bring other Anglcans to the Catholic
church through Benson's influence. For
this reason it is thought in Rome that
Father Benson may receive some recog-
milton from the Vatican in connection
with the consstory to be held soon.
