NARROWING TALE
o.: ART|C PER|Ls
BY EXPLORER
DANISH CAPTAIN AND THREE
COMPANIONS HAVE JUST RE.
TURNED FROM HAZARDOUS
DASH ACROSS THE ICY WASTE
OF GREENLAND.

COPENHAGEN. Aug. 16. - The
story told by Captain Koch, the Dan
ish explorer. Of the crossing of
Greenland in company with three
hardy companions, shows that the
dangers and hardships to be encoun-
tered on the great inland ice field
have not decreased since Rear Ad-
miral Robert L. Peary and DR.. Fridt-
jof hansen made their journeys over
portion of the same deserted
wastes.
The Danish leader and his three
companions, DR.. Wagner, a Ger
man; Larsen, a sailor, and Sigurd-
son, a native Of Iceland, were reduc-
ed during their journey to eating n
pet dog, the only animal left.
After landing from their ship on
July "a, 1912. the first mishap en-
countercd was the loss of number
OF ponies. Shortly afterward their
motorboat disappeared through the
thin ice and the explorers were
Obliged to wait until nearly the end
of September before the ice was suf-
ficfently thick to carry their sledg-
es and horses. When they were
ready to start DR.. WaGencr fell and
broke rib.
Mishap Follows Mishap.
The expedition established winter
quarters near Queen Louise Land on
October 10. The scarcity of fodder
necessitated the slaughter OF all the
ponies but five. During sledging
trip Captain Koch fell 40 feet into
q crevasse, breaking his right leg.
which kept him helpless throughout
the winter.
On April 20, this year, the four
men broke camp, and with five
sleighs drawn by ponies started on
their 750-mile march to the west
coast. During the first 40 days vio-
lent tblizzards ragged. The ponies be-
came snowhlind and so exhaust cd

that three had to be killed. Later
the suns rays tormentcd the travel
crs and burned the skin from their
faces.
Snowshoes we're fitted to the feet
of the two remaining ponies and
proved OF wonderful assistance to
them In the loose snow.
Unfortunately for the explorers it
was found necessary 10 Kill another
pony on July II, this year, because
the fodder had given out. The next
day the last pony was killed, much
to the distress of the members OF
the expedition, as a few miles furth-
er on splendid pasturage was found.
Pet Dog Furnishes Food.
The rations of Captain Koch and
his companions had been mean
while gradually reduced and on July
II their provisions we're finished.
On July Is they tried to push on to
the coast. which was now visible,
but they were so exhausted they
were scarcely able to move. Final
~ the pet dog, which had trampcd
with them for about 500 miles, was
killed and eaten. The meal was
hardly finished when the explorers
sighted a sailing boat in ford to
the east OF Proven on the west
coast of Greenland.
By means of shots and signals the
explorers succeeded in attracting
the attention of the vessel and Pas
tor Chcmmiiz, who was on the ship,
soon with the assistance Of the crew
had the famishcd and WORKOUT cX-

SOMETHING ABOUT CHINAWARE

the hard. white. pure laundry
Soap-is the only kind to use on Chi

quickly and safely but its antiscptic
qualities sterilize the china. In these
days of germ-caused diseases this is
an important point.

ELOQUENT TESTIMONIAL TO
MOUNTAIN STATE MINERS IN
GOVERNMENT STATISTICS -
BETTER PAID THAN ANY IN
THE WORLD.

CHARLESTON, w. Va, Aug. 16
The recent strike of coal miners
in single district in this state has
been so pcrsistentfy misrepresontet
that the public may be excused If it.
ideas of mining conditions in thi,
state are u little out Of focus. The
plain truth. AS recorded in officia
reports published by the rnitct
State Geological Survey and Tho
West virginia Department of Mines
is that the Mountain State is free
from labor troubles when compared
with other mining states.
According to the figures publish.
ed by the Geological Survey there
were an average Of 723.6S2 coal
miners in the United States in 1910
and 1911. These miners lost a
grand total Of 20,234,261 days
work on account of strikes in these
two years, West Virginia gave en-.
ptoymcnt in these years to an aver
age of 67,676 miners. or 0 and BIO
per cent of the total. These West
Virginia miners lost only 30.46S
days work IN the two years on &C.
count of strikes. Had they been on
strike and $40 per cent of the to.
tai amount Of time lost by all the
coal miners, which would have been
their proportionatc share. they
would have lost 1.S7G.SS5 days
work instead Of 30,4GS days.
The report of the State Depart
mcnt OF Mines for the year ending
June 80. 1912. which is now in the
printers hands, docs not give the
number of days lost by strikes, but
Il does give the sum In wages lost
on account Of strikes as S90,S04.
This latter sum is included in the
grand total of the losses sustained
on account of the much talked OF
strike from April /. 1912, to July
1913, which according to authOrita-
tive. though unofficial. information
amounted to S4,612,00O. This in.
cludes losses in wages. losses in
business, cost to taxpayers, etc.
Dcductiug the 30,46S days West
Virginia miners were on strike from
the l,S7G,SS5 days they would have
been on strike at the average proper
Tomato rate for the entire country
leaves 1,S46.4l7 days to their cred
ii. Multiplying this by the average
rate of production per man in Tho
State for the two years. and agar
by the, average rate per ton paiC
West Virginia miners gives the huge
sum OF $4.993.327 which the minerS
Of West Virginia saved thcmselves
and their state by attending to bust
ness instead of striking. This say
Ing over and above the proportion
ate rate for the nation would dcfra!
every expense connected with thu
much advertised strike and still
leave S259,4SO to the credit of tho
industry and good sense Of the great
majority of West Virginia miners.
Perhaps these figures may hell
to make clear some Of the reasons
why the Mountain State ranks sec
0nd in coal production and why tn,
miners within her borders have thu
highest annual earnings Of any coal
miners in the world,
