Income Tax in England.

Prom the st. Paul Pioneer Press
Those who have no idea of the extent
to which an income tax can be made a
success as a revenue producer will be
interested in knowing that Great Brit
ain raises about third of a billion
dollars a year from that source. The
British income tax law is much more
far-reaching than any our Congress is
likely to enact under authority of the
new Constitutional amendment. The rate
assessed against the incomes Of Britons
varies with the size of the income and
also is different for incomes that are
earned and those that are derived from
other sources.
The British law exempts the first $500
of income. Those whose yearly revenues
are below that sum are not taxed. If a
mans income is 5000, for example, he
Is taxed on the $1,000 in excess of the
$780, The tax in general is about s per
cent. 1t increases as the amount of iu-
come goes up. An extra levy of 21-2
per cent Is made. in addition to the
regular rate. on all income in excess of
SIS, 600 a year. And arrangements are
made whereby most Of the money Is re-
ceived from it's original sources instead
of being paid by the citizen. Income
from salaries are paid by the employer
and deducted from the employees pay.
Stockholders get their dividends, less
the amount due to the government on
income tax.

The Worlds Gold Supply.

From Lippincotts Magazine
Edward Sherwood Mead, the financial
expert, declares that there is no war
rant for believing that the supply of
gold will continue to increase as it
has in the past.
Every time a new bank is organ
iceland the number is rapidly increas-
ing a certain amount of money must
be withdrawn from circulation and put
into that banks reserve" says DR..
Mead. This represents an increasing
demand upon the worlds money supply.
What Is going on in the United States Is
but typical of development in other
countries. Canada and South America
are rapidly enlarging their banking re-
serves. Immense amounts of gold will
be sent to China to assist in the indus
trial development Of that country. The
final settlement Of the Turkish prob
lem will open the immense resources
of the Balkan Peninsula to exploita-
tions and will require large amounts Of
money to carry on this new business.
In every part, Of the world, in immense
regions which until recent years were
untouched by civilization. railroads are
being constructed, mines opened. farms
developed, and money-that Is. gold
required.
.In view of the small increases in
the annual production of gold. and in
view also Of the certainty that the next
decade will see large increases In the

MINING FOR METALS
Is HAZARDOUS TASK
Statistic. Just Made Public Show
Loss, Of Life in Mineral and
. sg-'t.9 cn,l M:nne. -

Contrary to general belief. mining for
gold, silver. "copper" iron, and other
metals is a more hazardous occupation in
the United; States than digging coal. With
great disasters occurring at intervals in
the coal mines and killing 100 or more
men at a time. the impression has pre-
vailed that no other branch of the in
dustry contained so much danger and
tuch a high rate of fatalities, but the
United States Bureau of Mines comes
forth with the statement that the metal
mines in 1911 killed more than four men
in every 1;000 employed-tp. be exact, L1a-
while the death rate in the coal mines
for the same year was 3.73 in every 1000
men. The greater proportion of deaths
in the metal mines s all the more strik-
ing when it is understood that in the
metal mines there Is an entire absence
of the gas. and dust that cause explo-
sions in coal mines, SKA.
The bureau also makes the statement
that the American death rate in the
metal mines is only exceeded by three
other countries-Mexico, Peru, and the
Transvaal 1t compares this scountry's 8
record Of 419 men killed In every loo
employed with Great Britain's record of
1.64, Germany's Of 129. and Frances 31s.
Albert II. Fay. mining engineer of the
bureau, who collected the statistics, gives
as one rea son for the greater death rate
in metal mining the fact that tae ma
jority of States have established sys-
tematic coal mine inspection, which
tends to reduce the accidents, while in
many of the States where metal mining
is carried on there 10 no inspection
whatever.
The number Of deaths Of miners in
certain States was as follows: Arizona,
20; California, IS; Colorado. 43 Idaho,
%; Michigan. .I3i: Minnesota, 76: Mis-
souri,. Ss: Montana, g.; Nevada so; New
Jersey, 3d. and Utah, 49,
The deaths in the metal mines added
to those in the coal mines make a total
of 3.414 men killed during 1911 In min
ing. or 2s1 in every 1,eoo employed.

LIGHTNING POWER.

Would Require 1900 Horsepower
to Reproduce 1t for q Second.
From the Electric News
1t is hardly possible to use instruments
for the purpose of figuring the forces of
lightning, yet there are many OTHER ways
of calculating familiar to every mathe-
matician. The amount of light given by
single lightning flash is enough to illu-
inmate an area two miles square. The
bolt itself would be visible several miles
farther off, but the remotest part of the
region mentioned would have as much
light as would be given by a candle
quite enough to read by. To produce
such light it would be necessary to
expend 1900 horsepower for a second
These figures appear very large, but the
time is short. The flash might be for
only on one-thousandth part of a second.
but the impression on the eye would con-
tinue for tenth of a second, anyway.
Figured down to an exact hour, this
amount of force would mean only about
four horsepower.
According to the engineer, lightning
flashes usually occur within thunder
clouds. and only rarely from one ordi-
nary cloud to another, or from a cloud
to the ground. They seem to follow the
and to be caused by that phenomenon.
The kind of electricity formed in a thun-
dercloud is not like that which is pro-
duced by electrical machinery. Light
ming is static electricity, the same kind
as is produced by rubbing amber with
silk. When a body like a brass globe
is charged with static electricity the
charge stays on the surface of it. The
quantity of full charge is limited by
the area over which it can spread.
When large number of vapor particles
unite to form raindrop their electrical
charges are combined. but there is not as
much surface on a big drop as on the
many particles which went into it. Con-
sequently, there is more electricity than
the drop can hold 1t must hunt up other
accommodations. either in some cloud or
on the earth. Flashes in the clouds are
often several miles long. These flashes
are composed of chain of small flashes.
The remedying of one overcharged cloud
by a discharge into another increases the
load of that cloud and number Of
discharges are needed to even things up.
Lightning discharges from one cloud to
another or on the earth differ greatly in
force. Some lightning bolts are very

majority Of the No. companies and

of business formerly done in Chicago
is being attended to on Broadway.
Then, too, according to old.time OBJ

number of recruits on hand this time.
Dramatic schools are on the increase
throughout the country, and scores of
youthful aspirants, girls and boys, have
come to Broadway to try and break in.
They can be picked out on the Rialto
by the freshness of their faces, the alb
sence Of makeup, the amazement on
their faces as they stare bewilderingly
at the high buildings and the eddying
throngs, and lastly by their failure to
join the chattering groups before the
Cohen & Harris building.
Nobody but the actor knows the
wearying grind of hunting an engage
ment. Along Broadway from seth
street to 44th there are more than half
hundred managers offices and agen.
cies where all sorts of performers are
engaged, ranging from vaudeville art
lists for the "kerosene circuit" to
grand opera singers and chorus people.
All of the offices are upstairs, Most
of them many flights upstairs, and few
Of them are in the newer buildings
