PIERRE LOTI, Go TO-DAY, IS
COLLECTOR OF MUNGNIIEs

Louis Marie Julien Viaud, better
known as Pierre Lou will celebrate
his sixty-third birthday to-day, prob
ably by adding a new mummy to his
collection. The eminent French nov
elist and dramatist has passion for
mummies, and his collection is prob
ably the finest Iof it's kind outside Of
the great national museums. Unlike
the ancient Egyptian king of BUN
Izer Beam which was made in Con-
necticut, NJ. Lofts corpses are all gem
uine, for he is a. recognized authority
and couldn't possibly be fooled with
bogus mummy. Next to Egyptian
corpses, M. Lott loves cats, and his
house at Rochefort-sur- Mer, near
where he was born, is full of felines
of all varieties. A mosque filed with
treasures from the Orient, a Moorish
room, a Turkish room and a, Japanese
room are features of Lofts remark
able residence. The distinguished au-
thor is a great admirer of everything
Turkish and has lately been bitter in
his denunciations of what he termed
the f'unwarranted attacks on Turkey.
Modern utilitarianism is anathema to
M. Lott. Earlier in his career he
disapproved of the English and Am
orleans, calling them tbarbarians," but
this opinion has been somewhat modi-
fed by his experiences in London, and
more recently in New York. He Wis
tied the latter city not long ago to
witness the premiere of. his dramatic
spectacle, 1.-THE Daughter of Heaven"
M. Lott was Capt. Viaud, of the
French navy, until his retirement I'M
der the age limit three years ago. AS
a youth he disliked books and study
and he was about thirty when the
writing fever seized him. His first lit
erary effort was a romance, ttAziyade."
Since then he has published scores Of
books, and is. now recognized as one
of the greatest prose writers of the
century. He was elected to the French
Academy in 1891, when still a naval
officer. M. Lott rarely reads the
newspapers. and on his recent Ameri-
can visit confessed that he had never
heard of Theodore Roosevelt. He bit
terly opposes suffrage for women, and
considers that the Turkish haren sys-
tenn offers the best solution of the wTo-
man problem.
Henry Arthur Mornington, Earl of
Cow1ey, who recently eloped with a
Mrs. Buxton, will be forty-seven years
old to-day. Lady CowIey, who is
cast for the role of wronged wife, was
form erly Lady Hartopp, and was di-
voreed by Sir Charles Craddock-Har-
topp in 1905. Lord Cow1ey was nam
ed as co-resp ondent and a few months
later married the woman whom he
has now deserted for another. Be
fore his accession to the title, the gal
liant Earl had to pay $4,000 for hav-
ing damaged the heart of an actress.
His first wife was Lady Violet NewiII,
daughter of the Marquis of Aberga-
venny. Eight years later she divorc-
ed him. Their son, Lord Dangan,
heir to the title, is in the chorus of
q musical comedy.

cOllided while pursuing fly balls. One
of the bumps was costly, as it put
the Sox in position for their dizzy
ninth-inning rally on a ball which
should have been an easy out. In the
fifth inning Mattick popped fly to
the pitchers box. 1t would have easy
for Collins, but Carrigan charged to
the middle of the diamond and grab
bed the pill, jolting the Boston south
paw pitcher. No material harm done,
but iris Speaker, from his position in
center field, called" CarTigan for the
headless play.
In the ninth Schaller lifted fly to
right with one out and two on.
Hooper ran in to take the knock and
was directly under it. Second Base
man Yerkes, however, chased out in
to right field and got his hands on
the ball just as he and Hooper crash
ed together. Result: Both players
were upset, the fly fell safe, and the
sacks were loaded for the spectacular
uprising of the White Sox.
Ray Collins pitched great ball
against the home crew for five in
nings, holding them to one hit. They
got to him for three blows in the
sixth, two in the seventh, one in the
eighth and four in the ninth before
he was lifted. Collins did not seem
to be stout enough to go the route.
Bedient came on the scene and had

him control, and the same failing has
shown in the work of all the pitchers
but Tex Russell.
Manager James John Callahan,
celebrated boss of the wen-known
White Sox, may live long enough to
see Bill Bryan drink something be-
sides grape juice, but even should he
attain such old age he will never pull
better bit of strategy than he did
yesterday. -Four pinch hitters were
picked by the boss. Three of them
delivered with sound smacks, giving
Cal an average for the day of $50.
The fact that the last one, Borton,
fell down with victory in his grasp,
does not detract from the credit due
Callahan. He was severely criticised
in the ninth inning, when he lifted
Weaver in favor of Easterly, and let
SchaIk, who had famed, bat for HIM
self. But this criticism came before
Easterly singled and Schalk walked.
After that all the fans were willing
to admit Cal was a brainy guy. It
is easy enough to figure these things
after they happen. The manager has
to plan ahead.
Harry Lord collected three singles,
and Collins got a triple and single.
Shane should have had another
triple, but Speaker raced back in CEN

into the air and pulled down Collins

Weaver also got two hits.

The Changing Age

Girls and boys from IA to 19 years
of age undergo physical changes
which tax their strength to the utmost
and the strain is always apparent from
pale cheeks, colorless lips, and tired
bodies-sometimes eruptions of the skin
and the utter lack of the ambition and
animation with which their younger
years were filled.
Budding into wonanhood and man
hood, with the duties of school or business,
demands concentrated nourishment
which is readily convertible into red blood
corpuscles, energy and strength, and the
very best thing for this changing age is
the medical nutriment in Scott's Enul-
sion-it possesses the rare matchmaking
properties of cod liver oil in a predi-
gested form; hypophosphites for the
nervous system, with the healing, sooth-
ing qualities of pure glycerine.
Its nourishing force promotes ass1tn1la-
ton, yields direct returns in abundant,
red blood, fills hollow cheeks, tones the
nerves, makes all good food do good,
and does it In a natural easy manner.
The sustaining nourishnaent In Scott's
Emulsion is so helpful to this changing
age that it should never be neglected.
every druggist has it.

COAL OPERATOR
HAS NO CINCH

Philadelphia, Oct. 27.-The anthra-
cite coal operator has a hard time
making even q slender profit on his
investment; the popular idea that he
simply sits back and guides O. golden
stream into his Golfers Is a delusion,
according to Edward w Parker, sta
tistician Of the United States Geolog-
ical Survey. And the bituminous coal
operator makes even less money, Mr..
Parker said in his address before the
American Mining congress in session
here.
Therefore, Mr.. Parker added, If
anyone is robbing the people on the
price of coal, the robber is not the
so-called coal baron but somebody
else. In fact, he said, the coal min
ing Industry Is almost demoralized in
the United States and the dividing
line between profit and loss is very
faint. Citing statistics to uphold his
contention, Mr.. Parker said, in part:
There is a somewhat general i'm
preston that the mining Of coal, both
anthracite and bituminous, Is a high
.ly lucrative vocation and that the
principal occupation of the so-called
coal barons is to look pleasant as the
golden stream flows into their Golfers.
I venture to state, taking the indus
try as a whole, that there are few
lines of industrial endeavor where
during the last ten years there have
been smaller returns for the capital
invested and for the energy. mental
and manual, that has been put into
it, than in the business of coal min
ing
"The United States census report
for 1909, the only recent official sta
t1stics relative to cost and value
available, shows that the value of the
Pennsylvania anthracite. produced in
thnf xnnr rya GAO nET nnI ny L
gross expenses amounted to ~$139, 110,-
444 from which should be deducted
$4,864,844 made UP from charges to
miners for explosives, oil and black
smithing, making the net expenses
$134, 245, 500.
THE total production in 1909
amounted to 72,215.273 long tons, so
that the average value per ton for the
output in that year was $2.06; the av-
erage cost per ton was $1.S6; and the
net returns on the operations for the
year were $14, 712,294, or an average
Of 20 cents per ton. This at first
glance looks like a fair return, but
attention must be called to the fact
that the census figures of cost make
40 allowance for interest of capital
invested or borrowed, and no Offset
ting charges for amortization or de-
probation.
According to the returns Of the
bureau of census, the entire capital
invested In anthracite mining in 1909
was $246, 0 10000. If on this capitaliz-
alton an allowance Of 4 per cent be
made for interest, the net returns for
the year amounted in round numbers
to $4.844, 900. If new breakers and
other equipment are charged into OPP
Grating expenses no allowance need
be made for depreciation but surely

or's standpoint there may have been

some reason for the recent advances
in the price of anthracite, the effect
Of which I have felt as keenly as any
othr consumer of anthracite.
THE figures covering the cost and
value of bituminous coal show even
more striking comparisons. The total
value of the bituminous production in
the United States in 1909, according
to the bureau Of census, was $401,-
577,477, and the. mining expenses Of
this value. including salar-
Of officers, was $37S,159,2S2. From
the figures it appears that rs per cent
the total cost was spent in wages.
THE total capital invested in the
bituminous coal mines Of the United
States in 1909 was, according to the
bureau, in round numbers,
$3.50, 000. 1000. The difference between
the value Of the product and the ex-
pense of producing it was $23,440,000,
or a fraction over 2.5 per cent on the
capital. The average value per ton
of all the bituminous coal produced
in the United States vas $1,07. the
cost averaged a fraction Of q cent
over ST., so that the margin of profit
to cover interest. depreciation and
amortization was a little less than 7
cents a ton"
