Mine In School Cellar.

Two veins of rich anthracite Goa
were discovered under the site to be
occupied by new S15O,OOO high school
building in Shamolin, Pa.
The fact that the larger vein runs
directly through the cellar of the pro
posed new building led to the spring
in gof a novel idea by Superintendent
Joseph w. Howerth, which will likely
be adopted by the board Of education.
Howarth proposes leaving a portion
Of the vein exposed, and cementing
the cellar in manner to prevent per
sons from falling into the vein. Expert
mining men will be asked to timber
the vein and make miniature breasts,
headings and gangways TO show how
coal is taken from the earth.
The exhibit would be used as a prac-
tical demonstration of mining methods
for the students.

Lewis Snyder, prosperous farmer
Of HOwertown, near Allentown, Pa.

1t appears that Snyder and Stein.

had gone for two horses which the
farmer had purchased.
Steinmetz, it is reported, started a
quarrel when they reached the Snyder
farm. Snyder told him to wait at the
barn until he went into the house to
get a lantern.
When Snyder came from the house
he found Steinmetz standing about
ten feet away, with a double barre
shotgun in his hands. The farmer ask

Urges Frozen and Dried Eqqs.

DR.. Mary E. Pennington, in charge
of food research work of the depart
ment of agriculture, told the house
agricultural committee that frozen and
dried eggs would solve the problem of
high prices and cold storage corners.
"FTozen and dried eggs" said Dr..
Pennington, soon will be marketed in
small packages so as to be available
to every household instead OF for the
bakers and other manufacturers, as
at present. Hard frozen eggs will keep
a year, and there is no question but
what dried and frozen eggs will ulti-
mately displace the cold storage va
riety."
Eggs cannot be kept in cold storage
and be fit for food longer than ten
months, she asserted, and added that
dried and frozen eggs did not lose any
of their nutritive value.

terious way way the deadly explosive
had something to do with his illness.
Investigation revealed that some one

Agreed Upon and VIII Be Submitted
to Republican Voters.
There will be no special Republican
national convention in 1914.
There will be at the 1916 Republi.
can convention reorganized system
of delegate representation, the idea
being to base the apportionment
among the states on the Republican
vote.
This will effect a material reduction
in the number of southern delegates.
The committee will determine the new
basis for representation and refer it
to the Republican voters in all states
for ratification.
These were the two big questions
decided at the meeting of the Repub-
ncan national committee in Washing
ton. In determining them individual
opinion alone prevailed. There was no
distinct line of cleavage, and a glance
at the vote shows the oldest sort of
agreements between men whom the
public thought to be wholly at vari-
ance in their opinions.
The states which voted for the con
vention were Indiana, Kansas, Louis
lana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mis-
souri,, New Mexico, New York, North
and South Dakota, Oklahoma, Penn
sylvania, Washington and West Vir-
ginia.
Two proposals for reorganization of
the party and to find a basis upon
which discordant elements can unite
confronted the national committee.
Foremost was a proposal for the |
special national convention to read. |
just the system of delegate represen.
tation. The other was that no conven-
ton be called, but that the national
committee fix a plan for reapportion-
ment for ratification by state conven-
tions.
Both resolutions provide recognition
of the primary laws of the various
states, and agree that certificates Of
election from proper state authorities
should be sufficient ground for placing
the name of a delegate on the tenn
porary roll of the convention.
The second resolution also recog-
nizes the methods adopted in Caifor-
MIA and other states where all dele
gates are elected at large, and only ,,
that the total number named
in the call NUT be chosen by any state
which has such a law.
A resolution for a special conven-
ton was prepared by a committee,
which also framed another resolution
in accordance with a compromise sug- :
gestion by Charles B. Warren, of
Michigan, chairman of the law COM
mittee, proposing that after the ma
-iOnal committee fixes a basis of dele :
gate reapportionment, the plan be rati-
led by two-thirds of the states which
east Republican pluralities for presi-
lent in 1908.
Informal discussion among commit
eemen developed a somewhat general L
opinion in favor of the proposal for =
he committee to change the basis Of =
and refer it to state II
which meet next year. n
On the special committee drafting :
he resolution were Committeeman -
Warren, of Michigan; Borah, of Idaho; - =
iadley, of Missouri, who also holds a y,
roxy from Louisiana; Smoot, of -
Itah, and Howell, of Nebraska.

Mona Lisa"-more properly known
as La Jaconde"-is one Of the worlds
most famous paintings, and is regard
ed as priceless. Leonardo Da Vinci
took as his model for the picture Lisa
Del GiocOndO, a woman of Florence.
He worked on the picture for four
years, from 1900 to 1904. It was bought
for France by Francis I.
The value Of the work can only be
imagined. since all offers to buy IL
were refused, among them one report
ed to have been made by the British
government of S5,OOO,OOO. Since the
disappearance from the Louvre Of the
picture the search has been world
wide. 1t has been reported found in
Germany, Russia, England, Spain and
even in the United States.
1t was widely believed in Paris and
throughout France that the picture
was not taken by thieves, but rather
by some demented art lover, who
wished to be able always to gaze
upon it.
The famous painting had hung in
VIZ tAeND vi lAOAAOA III AAAG A4OuNIG III d
room which was supposed to be al
ways watched. It disappeared on the
morning of Aug. %, 1911, and its alb
sence from its accustomed place was |
not noticed by its guardians until |
some hours later.
At first a quiet search was made in |
every nook and corner Of the mu-
scum, and discreet questions were
asked of the hundreds of copyists and
photographers who daily crowd the
museum. The questioning was all
without result. It was impossible even
to establish which of the museum en-
ployes had last seen the picture.
When the police authorities had
been informed they Immediately or
dered the museum closed. A thorough
search by detectives followed. They
found the empty frame lying on
stairway in the museum building. Tel.
egraphic information of the disappear.
lnce was sent to every town in France

nations. Ships were searched as they
