CONTRIBUTION BOXES
 FOR RELIEF FUND

Last night the committee appointed at Sundays meeting to devise ways and means of raising a fund for the destitute people in Belgium met and thoroughly discussed the proposed re- lief fund. It was finally decided that all contributions shall be of a volun- tary nature and with that end in view boxes, alongside of which will be tack ed placards bearing an appropriate ap- peal. will be placed in the different business houses throughout town. In this way all will have an opportunity of contributing their mite to a humane cause.
 Those who desire can also make subscription direct to MT. Brock, the treasurer. The money thus raised will find its way to the proper chan nel in order that it be distributed among the destitute where it will do the most good. It is the intention to allow these boxes to remain up about ten days and at the expiration of that time the funds will be collected and properly accounted for.
 
 There was full attendance of the committee at last nights meeting as follows: Mrs. Alvah Flames, Mrs. E. l.. Harwood, Rev. Mcbride, Capt. A. k. Lathrop, Nathaniel Greene, Malcolm Brock, c. H. Packard and H. c. Steel.

Referring to coal, Dr. Holmes says:
 "A careful estimate indicates that in the mining of 6O0,OO0,OO0 ton of coal during the last calendar year there was wasted or left underground in unminable condition 300,000,0 900 tons of coal. As result of careful preliminary inquiry, it is believed that more than one-half (200,000,OOO tons of coaD of this yearly waste is preventable under existing economic conditions. But the bare statement Of the enormous losses does not, per haps, express the most important part of the situation, which Is that the coal we are now using and vast ing represents the cream of our sup piles, namely. the coal that Is the best and most easily and cheaply mined, and is nearest the great cen ters of industry"
 Referring to still other wastes, Dr. Holmes says: "A preliminary in- quiry as to the coking of coal in bee hive ovens has shown that the total value of the by-products annually lost in this country through the use of such ovens amounts to s75,OOO, 900. ing by-products industries in this country has been recognized. such de- Although the desirability of develop velopment has now become an actual need

SAVING OF LIVES
 IN COAL MINES

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15-The say. ing of human life in the mines, the stopping of millions of dollars of waste of mineral resources of the country, and an inventory of the wastes that are continuing are given important consideration in the fourth annual report of Dr. Joseph A. Holmes, director of the United States Bureau of Mines., made public yes terday
 According to Dr. Holmes, the bu- reau has recorded it's most remark able achievement in the rescue of more than one hundred entombed miners at different disasters, and the rescue of many more miners by volun. teers who had been trained in life saving work by the bureau The
 
 ed in the establishment of irst-aid stations at hundreds of mines through out the country, and the Director makes the statement that the trained rescuers connected with these sta tions will in the future save the lives of many men. The total num- Der of miners trained by the Bureau i has now reached 24,975.
 The necessity for a more extensive use of safety appliances in the mines is shown by the statement that in I the last five years through lack of such appliances, more than $500 men have been killed in the mines and nearly 10000 seriously injured.
 In discussing the causes of mine disasters, Director Holmes says Not only have men been killed or injured from what are believed to be unnecessary electrical accidents in mining, but indirectly electrical apparatus has been responsible for mine explosions and mine fires that have extensively destroyed both life and property"
 The Bureau, in addition to attempt ing to prevent the explosion of coal dust in mines. which has resulted in great loss of life, has been investi- gating methods that would stop such explosions after they had started. During he year, four such devices were perfected by George S. Rice, the chief mining engineer of the Blu reau, and patented for the benefit of the mining industry. Director Holmes refers to the development of these devices as probably the most important part of the years work. the devices consist of barriers placed in the mines and loaded with stone dust. The explosion striking these barriers, the stone dust is thrown in the air and stops the. further propo- gation of the explosion. It is felt that such devices would localize an explosion to the portion of the mine in which it started, and thus save the men working in other parts of the mine.
