Where Coal Is Quarried.

II What look like graVel-beds are the
.so-Yfealied sceal7strin, pitsnef southeast
ern Kansas. They are described in
the Technical World Magazine. "A
vein Of goal varying in depth from
eighteen inches to four feet lies un-
der the surface in two-thirds OF this
district, and it Is from nine feet to
thirty feet down. AS there is no rock
roof above it, it cannot be mined in
the ordinary way. so steam shovels
and horses and scrapers are used to
bare it. Fourteen shovels are In use
for this purpose in these two coun-
ties, one of them being one of the
largest ever built 1t weighs three
hundred tons, and is said to be twice
the size of the biggest one at work on
the Panama Canal. 1t will strip ten
or twelve acres to depth of twenty
four feet in one year. This metho1
ruins land for agricultural purposes
for many years, but eventually will
make it better, as a hardpan near the
surface is broken. Strip-pit mining
leaves ridges, bitches, and small
ponds, but these will be leveled when
land becomes more valuable"

SK0WHEGAN,

The annual school report by Supt. L.
W. Gerrish contains many interesting
things la the people of Skowhegan. this
year. one Of them is in regard to the
crowded conditions of the school rooms
i'm the village. He says THE children
il. the various grades with two eXcep-
TONS are about as snugly packed as
possible giving each teacher school
of from 46 10 60 pupils. If the citizens
OF l<oWlIegan arc willing to put up
with this crowded condition, with the
teachers unable to give the required
amount of individual help and instruc-
ton needed 10 help the dull and back
ward, the school board ought not to
comIlain; although it seems toe bad
for the children to pass along through
their school age and not have their
lust dues" An article Will be put into
the warrant t. see what the town will
do.
The report contains some interesting
things on teachers salaries. 1t gives
the following list Of teachers salaries
one man, $500; one man $1,000; one
man, $3.50: two men, S575; two wo-
mon. $3.50; one woman, $500; two wo-
men; SAT-, one woman, SAL. three wo-
men and one man, 1926; one woman,

$685.: two women, 1850. one woman,
1921, one woman, $S06: five women.
$22S; one woman, $252; one woman, $l9S
There are % teachers with an average
of $354 As per year. With board from
$425 to 1926 per week this leaves a
teacher with $50 for the years work to
bay her clothes, keep up-to- date in ed

in old age Mr. Gerrish intiiaates in
his report that because of the small
salaries it is difficult to get good teach
ers, though in Skowhegan there arc
some of the best, YET they are sacri-
ficine themselves to q great extent.

Climbing into the air has developed
three new types of diseases. First,
mountain sickness. due to the muscu-
lar work of climbing in addition to
the rarefactionl of the air. Second.
balloon sickness, produced only at
great nights by the thinness of the
air. Third. aviator's sickness. in
which more severe symptoms result
from the rapidity of the change of at.
mospheric pressure. especially in
descent. Berget notes that aero
planes may rise to ten thousand feet
in an hour. The humming or crack
ing produced in the ears is the same
as in balloon disease, but there is also
a peculiar uneasiness and the aviator
is quickly out of breath. The French
aeronaut mentions further that the
descent in sailing flight may be at
the rate of one thousand feet or more
a minute, Mcrane. at Havre, having
dropped eight thousand feet In six
minutes. The effects are heart beats
of great force, but no increase in rate,
humming in the ears and an exag-
gerated special uneasiness- Chicago
