ELECTRICITY TO BE POWER
Owners of Anthracite Mines in Penn
syIvania Decide to Make Use Of
1t Exclusively.

Electricity is to take the place en-
tirely of steam and compressed air in
the anthracite mines of Pennsylvania,
according to a paper read recently be-
fore the Engineers Society of North
eastern Pennsylvania.
The total of electric generating ca
pacity and power purchased for use
at the mines at the present time is
given as 1881 kilowatts, which is ap-
proximately equal to los, 400 horse
power. The horsepower produced by
steam is given as 531, 811.
The first electrical installation in
mines was made in 1887 by the Penn
sylvania Railroad company. In 1889
the Thompson-Houston company
placed a locomotive and generating
station in the Erie colliery of the Hill
side Coal & Iron company. This To-
connective was in operation until 1911,
% years Of continuous operation. The
first electric pump installed was in
1890, and has been in continuous serv-
ice ever since. From 1891 to the pres
ent year plant after plant has been
erected in the mines.

His Ashtray.

Cover a small box lid inside and
out with tapestry and proceed to line
it with glass. This means that five
pieces of glass must be cut, one large
piece from the bottom, and four OBJ
longs for the sides. Any paint and
window glass store will supply you
with these pieces of glass, just as
they formerly cut them for the passe-
partout work that was the rage a
number of years ago. Glue carefully
put along the edges of the glass will
glue it to the bottom of the box and
the pieces of gla. J to each other There
will, of course, be a rough edge at
the top. This edge should be covered
with furnished gilt galloon. Cover the
wrong side of the galloon with glue
and proceed to bind the edge with it,
half of the width of the gallon going
inside the tray and half upon the
tapestry outside the tray. 1t is pref
ty little novelty which would look well

be sufficiently dark to please his mas
culine taste.

WARFARE AGAINST THE RAT
New Orleans Has Comprehensive Sys-
tenn for Elimination of Man.
kinds Enemy.

Conversion of insanitary districts
into healthful ones and the proofing of
the entire city against rats is contem-
plated in the plans made by the health
authorities of New Orleans for perma-
nently stamping out the causes of bu-
bonlc plague. The methods proposed
are similar in certain respects to those
followed by the federal government at
the Panama canal, while their execu-
ton Is as much an engineering prob
lem as it is medical one. Accomplish
ment of the work depends upon the
passage of enabling legislation which
bears directly upon the building regu-
lations and affects practically every
structure in the city. Popular Mechan-
les Magazine, in an illustrated article,
says:
Ordinances designed to handle the
situation provide that all buildings
which rest upon the ground shall have
concrete floors and every structure
shall be PROCEED against rats Other
ordinances abolish henhouses within
the city limits, excepting when they
are thoroughly rat-proofed; make
stringent rulings concerning the dis
posal Of garbage, and subject ship
ping in the harbor to binding regula-
lions intended to prevent rats from
landing from boats locked at the
wharves. 1t is planned that ships shall
lie eight feet from the wharves, have
all hawsers fitted with rat guards and
have guard at the gangplanks when
ever they are lowered"

COUGH KILLS MORE
THAN SCARLET FEVER

According to Victor G.. Vaughan,
dean of the medical college of the
University of Michigan and president
of the American Medical association,
there are, in the United States today,
only one-ninth of the number of
deaths from scarlet fever that there
were in 1880. This remarkable de-
recognition and complete isolation or
quarantine of the patient.
The disease itself takes on such
threatening and fear inspiring charac-
teristics that, from the very nature
of it, the parent has a most whole
ly summons physician and then fol
lows his directions to the letter.
Today whooping cough causes more
deaths than does scarlet fever. This
disease, like tuberculosis, the great
est murderer of the infectious dis
eases, appears to be SO mild that it
is regarded with contempt. SAM
tarians and medical inspectors of
school children are calling the atten-
ton of the public to the falseness of
this conclusion and urging public
education.
Whooping cough is most fatal in
young infants. With reasonable
degree of care, young infants can be
perfectly protected against infection.
Nursing infants are not prone to con-
tagious diseases of any kind, proba-
bly, because they have less contact
with diseased children. Certain it
is that no child can be infected with
out absorbing into his system some
of the discharges of the sick child.
For all practical purposes, it may be
accepted as fact that such infection
and such discharges come from the
mouth and nose of the sick child.
The germs take the same route into
a new victim.
Scrupulous care in keeping the
well far enough away from the sick
breathe or swallow the spit of the
latter will be sufficient. Handker-
chiefs and napkins used to wipe
away the discharges of a child suffer
ing from whooping cough should be
thoroughly disinfected or burned, pref
erably the later. Anyone coming in
contact with the patient should wash
her hands with the utmost care. A
further thorough rinsing in alcohol
increases the safety. So important
is the consideration of cleanliness
that in a Providence hospital nurses
have been able by changing of aprons
and caps, thorough cleaning of their
faces and hands, to go from one child
to another without carrying disease.
Above all, let there be an end to
the opinion that it is well for children
to acquire contagious diseases while
they are young and thus have them
over with. This superstition and il
fusion has been responsible for the
murder of countless numbers of inno-
cent infants.

Monster of the Delta.

A 320-pound shovel-nose sturgeon, a
decided rarity in New Orleans, attract
ed a large crowd in front of Kolb's
German tavern Sunday afternoon.
This big fish was caught in the Gulf
Of Mexico short distance off the
coast, in a seine 1t measures about
six feet in length, has a narrow body
and five rows of bony shields which
extend from the gills to the tail. The
striking popularity of this fish is its
sucker mouth, a round gristle projec-
ton about five inches in length, be-
meath a broad snout. The snout is
about eight inches in length and is
used to burrow in soft bottoms for
mollusks, which form the sturgeon S
principal food.
The eggs of the sturgeon are used
in Russia to make caviar. The blad-
der is used in the manufacture of ISM
glass. The fish is coarse and is cut
into steaks for broiling.-New York
