First Coal Mining.

The first mention of the occurrence
of coal in the United States, accord
ing to government experts. is made in
the journal of Father Hennepin, a
French Jesuit missionary, who in 1879
recorded the site of a "cole mine" on
Illinois river, near the present city Of
Ottawa, i'll. The first actual mining
of coal was in the Richmond basin,
Virginia, about seventy years after
Father Hennepin's discovery in I'LL
nois but the first records of produc-
ton from the Virginia mines were for
the year 1872 when, according TO one
authority, $4,000 tons were mined.
Ohio probably ranks second in priori-
ty of produc tion, as coal was discoy-
cred there in 1865, but the records of
production date back to 1888.
The mining Of anthracite in Penn
sylvania began about 1880, and it is
said that in 1907 fifty-fve tons were
shipped to Columbia, Pa. Reports OF
the anthracite coal trade are usually
hegun with the year 1920, when 1855
long tons were shipped TO Philadelphia
from the Lehign region. Prior TO this,
however, in 1914, shipment of % tons
WAS made from Carbonate, also To
Philadelphia, and the production is

The Turkish Soldier.

The Turkish soldier presents a
blending of qualities such as no Euro
pean soldier possesses in the same de-
gree. He is astonishingly sober; he
never touches wines or spirits: a
handful of rice or a crust of black
bread and a little mutton form his
sole food. He is proof against fatigue
cold, heat and poverty, and his fanati-
cism inspires him with dauntless cour
age. Death has no terrors for him
for he has ever before his eyes the
picture of a delightful paradise await
ing him after all the miseries ofszfiii.

time. When the uniform bill of
lading wac agreed upon by the rail
roads and the Interstate Commerce
commission, the four months clause
was put in.
In a recent decision of the United
States court of appeals in the case of
CleRg, against the st. Louis & San
Francisco Railroad company. a ques-
tion was raised as to the legality of
the four months clause and, as a re-
suit, 1t was submitted to the Inter
state Commerce commission. On Oc-
tober "a. the commission ruled that
it was given no discretion by which it
might excuse carriers for complying
with the published tariff. The com
mission stated that it did not feel
any more free to suggest a departure
from the tariffs in the matter of the
four months clause of the bill of lading
than in case of any other tariff pro-
visions. 1t was the opinion of the com
mission. therefore. that the railroad
cannot waive the four months limita-
tion. contained in section 3 CT the uni.
form bill of lading, without danger
of criminal prosecution.
The question is now under the con
siderstion OF all the western roads as
to whether the clause can be waived
under any conditions. At the present
time the railroads will obselv We strictly
the four months ruling.
