WORK Of RESCUE IN
|LL-FATED MINE At
ECCLES CONTINUES
Several Bodies Were Removed
From Workings Shortly
After 5 O'clock
VICTIMS WERE BADLY BURNED
Many Miners From Surrounding
Towns Deputized as Mine
Guards

Eccles. w. Va, April so. - After
twenty-four hours of exhausting ef-
fort. Chief Henry and a party of West
Virginia mine inspectors early to-day
reached the bottom of shaft No. of
the New River Collieries Company
where IT'S miners were buried by an
explosion last Tuesday They found
little gas and no damp. and expressed
the belief that conditions were such
that some of the entombed miners
may still be alive.
All night long the inspectors had
worked in the shaft, 125 feet from
the bottom, clearing away the debris
and strengthening the leads on which
the cage is operated. The best work
men in the whole district were called
break when the news came from the
tipple that the cage was on it's way to
the bottom.
Chief Henry said that he did not
point and that he expected to find
some of the men alive.
Soon after s o'clock. j. w. Paul,
chief engineer of the Pittsburgh sta
ton of the Bureau of Mines descend
ed the shaft in company with govern
ment rescue men from the other two
crews here. They had proceeded only
a short distance from the bottom
when they found six bodies huddled
together and so badly burned that
Identification was impossible. Pene-
trating further into the galleries they
located other bodies and the work was
temporarily suspended while man
was sent to the surface to prepare the
crowd for the news.

SHOW GRATITUDE FOR RELIEF
Elephants Cured of Toethache Give
Every Demonstration Of Thank
fulness to the Dentist

It is not easy to tell when an ele-
plant has got the toothache, but it is
best to keep out of his way when you
do know it. A London surgeon, who
had been for many years In India, says
he would sooner risk a railway acct
dent than meet an elephant with tooth
ache.
1t appears that toothache affects an
elephant in more severe manner than
it does any other animal. Elephants
have very sensitive nerves, and a
touch Of toothache often brings on
madness.
Providing you are able to chain
down an elephant and draw out the
offending tooth, the brute is certain
to be affectionate to you afterward
Here is an instance.
An elephant in Bengal, India, became
affected with toothache, but the keep
ers managed to secure it while a den
fist drew decayed tooth-the cause
Of the trouble. After a time the ele-
plant seemed to understand that the
dentist was trying to do something for
his pain, and ne gave every evidence
of approaching the attention. When
the operation was over he frisked
round the dentist like a young lamb.

Best Cover Crops.

Rye is one of the best cover crops
for vegetable growers. 1t grows well
in all types of soil. 1t often thrives
under rather adverse conditions. 1t is
easily started and may be sown quite
late in the fall
When rye is used for a cover crop
or for green manurial purposes plenty
of seed should be sown. 1t is custom
airy to SOW from two to four bushels
to the acre When the larger guam
tity of seed is used a dense growth
will result and the addition of hu-
mus will be much more than from a
light seeding.

Save the Doc.

The Oregon state board Of health
bulletin says wisely with reference to
mad dogs, never kill the animal that
bit you, save it with the greatest
care" for the condition that dog de-
veIops is of the greatest consequence
to the person bitten. If the dog is
killed, the negri bodies, which are OF
Importance in the diagnosis, may not
be developed and no one will ever
know whether the dog was or was not
rabid. But if the dog is saved he will
himself within a week or ten days
show whether or not be is rabid If
he proves himself clear of rabies the
man bitten need give the matter no
further consideration from that side,
and if it prove that he be rabid, there
is still plenty of time for the man to
take the proper remedies. If dog
bites you, save the dog.

ORIGIN Of Dust.

1t has been estimated that an aver
age puff of smoke from a cigarette
contains about four thousand millions
of particles of dust A single grain
of indigo will impart color to ton
of water. 1t follows, therefore, that
every drop Of this water takes over
on immense number of ultra-micro-
scopic particles of indigo.
A few grains of fuorescein, a sub.
stance derived from coal tar, will pro-
duce distinct fuorescense. To pro-
duce this result the fuorescein under
goes, Of course, divisions into count
less billions of particles. Almost every
substance enters into the composition
of dust
Street dust shows morsels of iron
and steel from the tires of wagons,
horseshoes and the nails of mems
boots, bits of leather from the har-
ness, fragments of wood, cotton, wool,
hair, paper, clay, sand, bacteria, etc.

WINTER QUARTERS FOR Ram
Male OF Flock Needs Sunshine, Fresh
Air and Place to Exercise,
Same as the Ewes.

There are not many farmers who
would purchase a $4,000 automobile
and let it stand Out in the rain in a.
mudhole all winter, sut there are MANY
who pay high price for a well-bred
ram and treat him almost as badly as
that
How often it is that you go into a
mans barn and find in dark, stuffy,
narrow pen. way back in one corner,
the head of the flock, says Homestead.
The male Of the herd, of course, should
be kept by himself, but he needs sun
shine. fresh air and place to exercise
just as much as the ewes.
The winter quarters OF a ram should
be SIGH that he can keep dry, both
overlSad and under foot. At the same
time. the more fresh air the better.
Even an open shed will serve if it is
entirely dry. A pen should certainly
not be used that is less than Is feet
square, and if it is larger so much the
better. This will give the ram an OPP
portunity to exercise and will keep him
IN good, vigorous condition.
During the summer months, when
the ram is allowed to run on pasture,
he does not need grain, but in the win
ter, if you expect to keep him in good
vigorous condition, he must be sup
piled with grain at least a month be-
fore the breeding season.
A mixture of two parts oats and one
part bran has given unusually good re-
suits in some of the larger focks of
the West. This ration does not pro-
duce fat, but does keep up the vigor of
the ram.
1t is impossible to suggest the exact
amount to be fed, for this can only be
determined by watching the animal
and studying his condition
