PLAN LABOR MEETING
Park Directors Prepare for
Day.

An attractive booklet probably will
be issued in the fall by the Richmond
Lake and Park company advertising
Morton park for summer homes and
summer vacations.
Before long there will be street
car line to the edge of the park. Ex-
cavation for one of the branch sewers
has already been started. The Watet
Works company and the Gas company
expect to have lines through the
grounds to accommodate builders of
cottages. All these improvements will
be completed before the opening of the

Fighting Dust With Dust.

About the hardest problem to be
found in coal mines is the danger,
GUS dust produced by the ton every
day and scattered over miles OF road.
way and workings, the removal OF
which by u or other means is
next to impossible.
The best preventive thus far seems
to be that of fighting dust with dust.
Sprinkling has been tried to keep the
air free from infammable dust mix
ture. Salt has been scattered over
the floors to gather moisture, and
prevent dust from rising. The dust
has been cleared from parts of the
mine to form barriers, over which the
flames from a dust explosion is not
likely to pass. Now, however, the best
results seem to come from the scatter
ing of stone and clay dust over the
coal dust throughout the mine. This
makes the coal dust nonexplosive, and
sections treated with the nonintiam-
mable dusts form better barriers
against an explosive than the old dust
less barriers.-James H. Collins in the
Saturday Evening Post.

WORST CENSOR IN HISTORY
Sir Roger L'Estranse in 1868 Sup
pressed All Criticisms OF the
British Government.

The severest press censor of which
English history bears record was Sir
Roger LEstrange. This worthy was
appointed to the post in 1868 and he
threw himself whole-heartedly into his
duties. According to C. B. Roylance
Kent, he suggested that the number
of master printers in London be re-
duced from sixty to twenty, that print
ing Offices be subject to inspection
and have no back doors; and that in
addition to the ordinary reasonable
and seditious publications culprits con-
victed of small infractions of the law
be condemned to wear some visible
badge or mark of ignominy, as a hal
ter instead of a hatband, one stock
ing blue and another red, a blue bon
net with , red letter t or s upon it,"
But L'Estrange went further. He
was opposed TO newspapers altogether.
because the reading of them makes
the multitude too familiar with the
actions and counsels of their superb
ors. too ~pragmatlcal and censorious,
and gives them not only an itch, but
a kind of right and license, to be
meddling with the government All
newspaper criticisms on the govern
ment were vigorously suppressed dur
ing L'Estrange's censorship. Indeed.
he succeeded SO effectively in muz-
cling the press that "his majesty said
several times he wondered how 1t
could be done"
