Many unsuccessful attempts have

planting method employed by DR..
Szekeiy in Budapest is said to be a
practical one by Professor Hayas
The end of gold wire 1900 inch

barely visible to the naked eye, which
is threaded with a woman's hair or

eight TO twelve inches long The wire
is introduced into a short, fine Pravaz
hypodermic needle and drawn for
ward until the threaded loop is Just
inside the peint of the needle, The
wire is then bent back and cut to
a length Of ene-twelfth to one-eighth

\ Years Coal Production.
From the Louisville Courier journal

From the Louisville Courier Journal
1t has been estimated that the
amount Of coal which will be dug out
of the ground in the United States
during the present year will be great
er by far than the total excavation
for the Panama Canal.
Experts of the United States Geo.
logical Survey have estimated that
originally there was enough coal in
this country to make a solid block
ten miles long, ten miles wide and
ten miles high. A block of this size
would weight more than 3,500,00 900,
600 tons. and up to the present time
the coal that has been removed
amounts only to something like 15000,-
O00,0 tons. The coal mined during
1914 will amount to about 100000, 900
tons, containing about 800, 900, 900 cubic
yards. The total excavation for the
Panama Canal from start to finish is
computed at, some 2e20oO000 cubic
yards.
The comparison indicates in a strik-
ing way the extent of the coal mining
industry in the United States. The
output of coal is enormous, but 1t Is
increasing year by year. The amount
of coal so far taken out is only frac-
tion of what remains, according to
the estimates OF the geologist The
people OF this country, however are
using moro coal every year, and with
the exhaustion of some Of the Euro
pean coal fields already in sight the
foreign demand for American coal
will increase enormously.
The history of coal mining in the
United States covers only a period of
about a century. There was some
mining of anthracite in Pennsylvania
as far back as 1890. but the records
of the anthracite coal trade usually
begin with the year 1920. The first
actual mining is believed TO have beer
in Virginia, though the records oi
production in that State date from
1922 The presence of coal in Ohio
was discovered as far back as 1855
but the record of output begins witt
1887 The history OF coal mining il
Kentucky begins in 1927, but in 1s4(
the production had reached only 23.-
| 527 tons,
Kentucky's coal industry suffered
greatly during the civil war. In 1856
1 the production had reached 2s5, 76t
tons but in 1864 It was under 2,00t
tons. and in 1870 it was only $50, IS.
tons Since that time progress has
been continuous until last year a
maximum output of about 10000. 00C
! tons was reached.

Knew What He Wanted

Not long ago Bishop Hartzell was
visiting the mission station at Old
Umtali His attention was attracted
by the approach Of a company of
singing, shouting natives, led by their
chief, Umtassa. During the inter
view, conducted through an inter
prefer Bishop Hartzell told the chief
that he wanted to show his kindly
feeling by a present, and asked Un1-
tassa what he would like. The chief
said he would tell him the next day.
Early the following morning the
bishop was awakened by the mis-
sionary, who stood in the doorway
with Umtassa
It thought it all over" said the
latter, and now l know that | want
a white iron bed like white people
have"
The bishop was unable to reply to
the somewhat unusual request. Such
articles are very expensive in that
country, To refuse would be quite
impossible, so the bishop told the
missionary to see that a bedstead was
brought out from Umtali. But Um-
tassa had not finished.
And you can send along with the
bed mattress. some sheets and
two pillows" he added.-Christian

brushed combed and washed, and it
should be oiled occasionally in order
to preserve its seftness and gloss. In
short, this method of planting hair is
hygienie, cosmetic and practical. The
permanenee of the result is indicated
by the fact that in one case where
the whole crown of the head was
thus covered, the implanted hair has
remained in perfect condition for
seven years"
In this connection it may be inter
estins 20 note the hair planting sys-
tenn developed by enc of our country
men-Dr. Jacob H. Parsegan-residing
i'll San Francisco. Instead of looping
the hair under the skin he punctures
the scalp and plants the hair in the
puncture. A special instrument is
used, capable of operating at a rate
of sixty insertions minute, If de-
sired. Hairs of considerable length
are fed through the instrument, plant
ed and cut off automatically to a
gauge adjustable as desired.

DA AAfAAAe
When history Is written with per-
feet realism and every man and
woman of history is represented, as
he really WAS, probably Louise de la
Valliere will appear as the sanity
nun, Sister Louise de la Miseracorde
and not as the beautiful young favor
ite of Louis XIV, king of France,
For the dozen years she spent in the
Illicit luxuries and gaities of the most
magnificent court the world has prob
ably ever known, she spent thirty-six
years with her beautiful eyes cast
down in prayer, expiating in seyerest
penanee and ipcessant devotions' for
the sin she had committed in yielding
to the passion of the fickle-beafted
king. After Louise had left forever
the gilded interior of Fontainbleau,
Madame de AIontespan took her place
and later Madame de Montespaa
sought a haven in the cloister when
Madame de Maintanon succeeded TO
Louis's affections. But Madame de
Maintenon outlived the kings lawful
wife and she was clever enough 20
bring about her marriage TO the old
monarch.
1t is frequently said that Louise
de LaValliere was the only woman
whom Louis ever really loved. For
that reason her name has gone down
to history as the one true love among
many. But it seems a little doubt
full whether the king ever gave much
sincere devotion even to the charming
Layalliere. When the king, then a
man of seVenty-two. heard of the
death of Sister Louise, he received the
news without tear. As if to ex-
euse his coldness he remarked to a

LaValliere was brought into con-

for one of the princesses in the royal
family. In exchange for her services
she received an allowance of a little
over a hundred dollars, which served
to pay for her clothes. At court,

would run a better chance of meet

scribed as a tall. slight, wonderfully

slight iamensss. Her only bad feat-
ure WAS her teeth, which rather mar
red a faqs of extreme loveiiness. She
had silveTy fair hair. bliIe eyes, and
voice that charmed all who heard
it. Her fascination depended on her
sweetness and loyeiiness rather than
on perfect beauty.
Louise was still a young woman
when she entered the convent, never
again to lay aside the habit OF her
order. Her beautiful silverY locks
were shorn and the eyes SO beautiful

The possessor of such splendid tact
who can instantly place a man at ms

Who can estimate the loss to the

the slips, the falls. the fatal mistakes
which come to people because they DO
