Chief Purpose Of Bureau.

mines is to train miners in first-ald.
mine-rescue and fire-fghting methods:
and he adds that during the year more
than 10000 miners have attended the
lectures and demonstrations given from
the mine safety cars: more than LOCO ad-
ditional miners received training suffi-
cient to enable them to participate in ac-
tual mne-rescue work and more than
twice that number have been added to
the list of miners trained in first-aid
practice
Health conditions in and about mines
should be investigated, In the opinion of
DR. Holmes Preliminary inquiries. he
says, have indicated the prevalence OF
tuberculosis and the presence of hook
worm as miners diseases in several diff
ferent localities in the United States. 1t
is important that this work should be eX-
tended rapidly, because of the fact that
the health conditions. as well as the risk
of accidents, may be influenced by con-
ditions susceptible of easy Improvement. '

Councilmen Walk Out.

4 scene never before witnessed in the
lower branch of city council took place
last night, when six members of that
body walked out as a unit to show their
disapproval of the proposed action of the
eight remaining members who were about
to go into an election to fill an existing
vacancy. made a few minutes before by
the unexpected resignation of G.. X.
Yates as a member from the first ward.
The business of the city was imme
diately brought to stop and a messen-
ger was dispatched to the home of COun-
Gilman r. NJ. Graham, an absentee, to
see if he could not be induced to come to
the meeting in order to make nine,
which is the legalized majority. Owing
to the serious illness of Mr.. Grahams
daughter, however, he was unable to at
tend and the council meeting ended with
out transacting further business.
The resignation of Councilman Yates
came as surprise to many of the MEM
berS and there was considerable parley-
ing before 1t was accepted.

EACH $4,000 TONS
OF COAL COSTS A LIFE
Conditions in Mines Discussed
in Report of DR.. Joseph
A. Holmes.

One miners life is snuffed out with
every $4,000 tons Of coal mined in the
United States. In 1907, when the federal
bureau of mines was beginning it's work.
the ratio was greater. One life was given
with every $4,000 tons. DR.. Joseph A.
Holmes, director of the United States
bureau of mines. in his annual report
today to Secretary Fisher attributes the
decrease in mortality to the federal gov
ernments work in the mining fields. and
points out how the enormous death list
may be still further reduced.
DR.. Holmes shows that whereas there
was an average of 6.93 men killed for
every 100000 tons of coal mined in
1907. this number decreased to 6O5 in
1908. to SO the next year. 566 in 1910
and 5.4S in the calendar year 1911. The
figures for the year just closed. it is esti-
mated, will show further decrease in the
dealt rate

Death Rate in Metal Mines.

The death rate in the metal mines OF
the country is nearly high he de-
clares, as in the coal fields. averaging
more than three men per thousand en-
ployed. The death rate in the quarries Is
larger than it should be, averaging far
more than that in foreign quarries. and
the same is true I'm metallurgical plants.
He recommends. therefore. that the bu-
reau be given money to carry its mine
accident investigation into these other
fields In larger measure than the limited
appropriations far granted have al
lowed.
The enormous annual loss in mining
and preparing coal for market. the huge
waste of natural gas, as well as lack oi
efficiency and waste in the metal mining
industries are mentioned by DIR. Holmes.
This extravaganza of natural resources,
he asserts, should be checked.

ENORMOUS COAL CONSUMPTION
OF PITTsBURG

The Pittsburg district of Pennsyl-
vania is the largest consumer of fuel
in the world, and in magnitude of coal
traffic it is also pre-eminent. In popu-
lation Pittsburg ranks fifth among
the cities of the United States, having
as "Greater Pittsburg'' only about
one-sixth that of Greater New York.
but in the consumption of coal alone
Pittsburg nearly equals that of the
largest city in the country. 1t is es-
timated (no accurate data being avail
able) that Greater New York con
sumes between $4,000, 900 and 100000
900 short tons of coal annually. The
Pittsburg district in 1912, according
to Edward w. Parker of the United
States Geological Survey, consumed
1921, 1873 tons of coal and about
100000 tons of coke, or a total of
about %, 100000 short tons, over 10
per cent more than all the boroughs of
Greater New York. Moreover, Pitts
burg also consumes millions of cubic
feet of natural gas. The total quaint
ty of coal sent to New York harbor
ports TO rlocal consumption, for bunk
er trade, and for trans-shipment to
soastwise and foreign ports, is be-
tween 35,000,000 and 100000 short
tons. In 1912 the total coal business
of the Pittsburg district, including
local consumption and shipments east
and west, amounted to %, 150,179 short
tons. The coke used and handled was
approximately 100000 tons, making
a total of about $4,000, 900 tons, or
nearly twice as much as the coal go
ing to New York harbor.

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin

this tube is inflamed you have a rum

when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube
restored to it's normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
