of the United States bureau of
mines in his animal report to Sec
rotary Fisher, attributes the de-
crease in the mortality to the lFed-
eral governments work in the min
ing fields, and points out how the
enormous death list may be still
further reduced.
The death rate in the metal
mines of the country is nearly as
high, he declares, as in the coal
fields; averaging more than three
men per l, 200 employed; the death
rate in the quarries is larger than
it should be, averaging far more
than that in foreign quarries; and
the same in metallurgical plants.
He recommends, therefore, that
the bureau be given money to
carry its mipe-accident investiga-
ton into these other fields in larg-
er measure than the limited ap-
preparations so far granted have
allowed.
Pioneer educational work, tenn
porary in character is the way in
which the directors refers to the
mine rescue and first aid work

ers in the $4,000 mines of the

REALLY STRANGE PART.

The teacher of the fourth grade
was demonstrating the mysteries
and wonders Of gravitation. She
was putting the well known law
through its gaits by means of an
apple suspended on string-a fit
ting tribute to the one that hit Mr..
Newton on the bean. = p" 4
'Now, class" said she, rapping on
her desk with her ruler, ''you see the
apple is suspended by the cord
which / hold here in my hand. Be-
meath the apple there is nothing
whatsoever that we can see pull
ing it down. There is no cord OF
string on the bottom, yet when re-
lease it the apple is drawn toward
the floor with great velocity"
Here she released the fruit, and
allowed it to hit the floor with dra-
matte and convincing thump.
"Now," said she, ''isn't it strange
that with nothing pulling it the APP
pie descends to the floor?"
The bad boy in the front seat
snorted:
"It would be darn strange if it
didn't" said he.

by pious people as offerings to the
Supreme Power, it being generally
believed that such acts Of devotion
count to the builders credit in the
next world. The pagodas are of all
kinds, according to the means of the
bull aers, from primitive whitewashed
structures to ornate erections with
grotesque gilded lions. The lions
have various meanings, but stand
chiefly as a reminder of unselfsh de-
votion. An ancient Burmese legend,
taught to all Burmese children, is
that Of ioness who nursed and
guarded the baby son of king, and
who died of broken heart when the
prince grew up and went away.

of the bureau of mines is to train

and fire fighting methods, and he
adds that during the year more
than 10000 miners have attended
the lecturers and demonstrations
given from the mine safety cars;
more than 1000 additional miners
received training sufficient to en-
able them to participate in actual
mine-resue work, and more than
twice that number have been added
to the list of miners trained in first
aid practice.
The Oliver Mining company is
maintaining rescue stations at their
mines and corps of men are con-
stantly under drill and perfecting
themselves in the work. A station
is maintained, fully equipped and
manned, in this city and the COM
pany is sparing neither effort nor

enable it to obtain each year a list
of all mines belonging to class A,
together with the owners and oper-
ators thereof. The tax is upon the
long ton of the output of such
mine or mines based upon the per-
centage in metallic iron when dried
at PIP deg. Fahrenheit, as follows:
Ore yielding less than 40 per
cent 2 cents per ton.
Ore yielding 40 per cent or
over and less than SIS per cent, 8
cents per ton.
Ore yielding 81 per cent or over
and less than 50 per cent, cents
per ton.
Ore yielding 50 per cent or
over, cents per ton"
Contents of phosphorus or other
deleterious matter are not consider
ed in fixing the basis for applying
the tax.
The proceeds of the tax are to be
distributed as follows: AN
amount thereof equal to what
would accrue to the state school
and university fund on the valua-
ton of mineral lands of Class A,
under the state school and univer-
sity tax, shall be credited to the
state university fund; and the re-
mainder thereof shall be credited to
the general revenue fund"
Persons engaged in mining are
required to keep account of the
quantity and average yield in per-
centage of metallic iron of their
production, and to make semi
annual reports in November and
May, the tax to be payable Dec.
and June 1. The tax commission
may investigate if it doubts the
good faith of these reports. Failure
to make returns, involves penalty
of 10 per cent. The books of
mining companies are to be open
to the inspection of the tax COM
mission, on demand.
1t is proposed that the bill, if
passed, shall be effective Jan. /,
1914.

MACHINE TO WRITE MUSIC.

A German musician has invented
a machine which. he states, automat-
ically registers the notes emitted by
the piano. The new machine has the
same object as one invented by an
Italian and used by Mascagni in
writing his operas, but it is a larger
instrument and is operated by cleo
tricity. Into the machine is inserted
roll of paper, and the composer
seats himself before the piano and
executes the composition that he de-
sires to give to the public. The ma
chine faithfully registers every note
produced, SO that the musician does
not have to depend upon his menu
ory.

TONNAGE TAX AGAIN
Representatives Bbrge and FanEOn Come to the Front With Our
Old Standby.
New Bill More Radical Than OdNnmun Reduced From 20 600 to
1000 Tons.

AS predicted before election when
the press of the iron range district
warned the voter to beware of the
champion of the tonnage tax"
measure with the assertion that the
corpse would be revived, Repre-
sentatives Thomas Frankson of
Spring Valley and H. o. Bjorge of
Lake Park, Wednesday introduced
their tonnage tax bill in the house.
1t was at once referred to the COM
mittee on taxes and tax laws.
The bill is practically the same
as that introduced in the house in
1907 by Mr.. Bjorge and defeated,
that introduced in the house by
Mr.. Bjorge in 1909 and vetoed by
Governor Johnson and that intro
duced in the house by Mr.. Frank
SON in 1911 and defeated.
As before, the bill proposes a
graduated output tax of to S cents
per ton on all ore produced in the
state, the tax to be for state pur-
poses only, and the localities in
which the mines are situated to get
their revenues-if they can-from
the ad valorem system of taxation.
The graduation is so arranged that
most mines would pay the min
imun.
Non-producing mines are also TO
be taxed for state purposes on the
advalorem of valuation system.
All mines are divided into two
classes, A" and B." Mines
producing 1000 long tons or more
in year are Class A mines, and
are to pay tonnage tax. All
other mines are Class B mines, and
are to be taxed as at present.
Practically the only change since
the last bill is the reduction of the
minimum required to put mine
in Class A from 10000 tons to
1000 tons.

At the pretent time one miner
life is snuffed out with every 1885,

SOUTHERN ILLINOIS AIgRICUL.
TURE IS RAPIDLY COMING
TO THE FRONT.

Farmers in the southern part Of
Illinois are awakening to the needs
Of the soil, which with little at
tention is especially adapted TO
orchard and small fruit culture as
we'll as general agriculture. A
notable illustration of what may be
accomplished in the Hill lands is the
case Of j c. B. Heaton, at New
Burnside in Johnson county, who
with $500 per acre ground, that was
considered worn out for agriculture
was quickly built up and produced
so bu. of corn peas and a sprinkling
Of ground limestone, which treat
ment the Southern Illinois hill
lands require to make them profit
able for general farming. In the
lowlands in Pulaski, Johnson, Saline
and White counties, drainage bitches
are being dug. which will be the
means of retaining large acreage
of bottom lands. which will equal
in productiveness some of the best
lands in the State of Illinois.
Immediately south of the Ozark
range of hills, vegetation is three
weeks earlier than north Of these
hills, due to the protection against
cold north winds, afforded by the
ozarks, where small fruit and vege-

table culture is thriving and fast
growing industry, the products of
which are accessible to northern and
eastern markets.
The State Agricultural Depart
ment have special travelling rep
resentative in Southern Illinois,
whose energy is doing much to
awaken the farmers to the needs of
the soil and the several state expert
mental stations, are proving what
can be accomplished in the direction
of increased production by the tdop-
ton Of scientific soil culture.
The farmers in Johnson, Saline
and White counties are hopeful that
aid in State work may also be ex-
tended to cover these counties where
good results are sure to follow.
Another problem that confronts
aricultural interests in Southern
Illinois, is the coal and oil develop
ment, which has tended to detract
attention from agricultural interests
of the state that reactionary meth
DDS be adopted Saline county, for
example, a few years ago produced
grain, hay and live stock in abund-
ance, whereas coal development has
dstracted from agricultural to such
extent that areas in this county have
actually become consumers instead OF
producers. The same condition pre-
