Foreign Orders i,onlinr.

While 1t is not apparently true in
this section as stated by the Charles
ton Mail that many mines that have
been closed for years are being
opened" the coal business Is some
what better than the last several
months, owing to orders from Europe.
This naturally will make better bust
ness in this part OF the state, and as
these foreign orders are being dis
trtbuted throughout the state where
there are mining operations, West
Virginia will feel the good effects
The Mail says:
Reports are coming in that the
foreign demand for West Virginia
coal is increasing. In the. northern
part OF the state, according to infor-
nation sent out, many mines that
have been closed for years are being
opened" 1t is said that Italy, France
and other nations have begun buying
West Virginia and Maryland Goals
because the war has interfered with
and curtailed England,s production
pf the black diamond.
Reports are also current that for
eign orders for the product of Ameri-
can glass factories are coming in and
that there is the prospect OF big
business in supplying the European
demand in this line.
ze So far, West Virginia industries
have not received much OF a stimu-
qus as the result of the war in Europe
probably owing to the fact that so few
industries in this state, comparatively
ttlrr, ont the sfinisihad rrf,i,,nt
AS the war proceeds and as the
ability of the nations at war to supply
their own wants decreases, we may
expect a larger demand for West vir-
ginia products, including even the
raw material, both for foreign and
domestic consumption.

Hodses. espon.Ible for Desttnr.

Thomas q. Hodges may not be q
good postmaster, however able an
educator. His measure Of success as
such remains to be, seen. That he
accepted the offer Is evidence that he
feels that no must do something
whether through necessity the Tele-
gram does not know. but the Tele-
gram knows that he brought 1t all on
himself. He had a fine position one
Republicans gave him and he could
nave had II yet, IL he had, not vclun-
tarly surrendered IT. Suggestions
that It be given back to him met no
nearly response Of approval, the peo-
pie evidently feeling that he alone
was responsible. for his destiny and
tnat It was not up to them to see
that he was restored what he cast
aside. The Parkersburg News clear
" comments as follows ON the sub
ject:
II Is q matter OF regret that a man
having the capacity, the learning, the
nigh intellect and attachments OF DR..
7. p. Hodges should be relocated to
the isolation and obscurity OF the
Morgantown postofice. And. yet, much
as 1t may be regretted that the Nor
gantown postoffice is his destiny the
blame for this condition must rest
with DR.. Hodges, himself.
DR.. Hodges willingly submitted
himself to the uncertainties, the ca
prices, and the fortunes Of politics.
though secure in high position to
which his attachments were fitted and
his temperament was attuned.
Selfish political interests, with re-
gard for neither him nor the service
to which he had been called, impress
ed him into political labor at a point
where he might aid them even at the
cost Of his own destruction. 1t need
not be recalled that the Democratic
bosses placed him at the head OF
their ticket without regard to either
himself for the possibility OF service
to the Office for which he stood, but
merely as a stalking horse; light
foot cavalry screen to cover their
major operations.
Mr.: Hodges accepted such a call
and is bound by the result, SO far as
public sentiment is concerned. This
was easily developed when the Demo-
cratic press OF the state recently
sounded the public on the issue OF re-
turning HIM to the university. 1t. has
been costly lesson to DIR. Hodges,
but neither he nor others who may
afterwards be approached by the
tenipter can we'll escape its signif-
cant lesson

In a high mountain valley in the

so small that it might be overlooked

but it has not been by nature or

Here is the neucleus Of mining
center older than the independence of
either Mexico or the United States.
The mineral of Cusihuiriachic was
long known and its mines worked by
Indians from the Sonora region, and
traces OF their primitive methods
may be discovered in abandoned
mines. Ladders made entirely OF
wood, the rungs tied by leather
thongs, were used in the shafts.
When the shaft became so deep. that
ladders could no longer be used, new
mines were opened.
No railroad has ever. penetrated
the mineral. the metals being brought
out by pack trains as OF old, though
a stage mail route makes bi-weekly
trips to the nearest railway point.
More than hundred years ago an
expedition was organized to go to
Vera Cruz for the purpose of raising
money with which to develop the
mines which had fallen into the
hands Of the Mexicans. The expedi-
ton travelled slowly overland. and
was gone from the village in all about
a year. but many of its members re-
turned in triumph having secured

PLANTS THAT STING.

To nearly related plants that COM
tain poison glands, and are armed:
with singing hairs that operate in
much the same manner as the fangs
OF a rattlesnake, have recently been!
described by botanists. One OF them
is found in Arizona from which state
sixteen cases of severe poisoning by
contact with the plant have been res
ported. The other species is found
along the Pacific coast of Central
America, and Is locally called the
ortiga.
Both Of them are small plants, Of
the milk spurge family, and their
formidable armament is evidently in
tended primarily as protection
against grazing animals. Trunk,
leaves, fruit and flowers of the plant
are covered with the fine silky hairs
which administer; the poison.
The poison is secreted in a sort OF
enlarged cell OF the epidermis Of the
plant, and each hair is tube cons
nected with one of these cells. Min
eral matter is deposited in the upper
part OF these hairs so that they be-
come brittle, and break at the slight
est touch. The break is always OBJ
hquc, so that point, somewhat like
that of pen, is formed, and enters
the skin, OF man, or. animal. At the
same time the pressure causes dis
charge, Of the poison into the wound.
The "bitenio of the ortiga is a SER
ious matter, for the poison enters

body is covered with rash, and the
victim. often loses consciousness or
becomes delirious. 1t seems that no
fatal results have been reported, as
yet, however.

Bowman and the stranser-and two
others, had taken number of drinks.
Bowman on the stand yesterday
testified that he had no recollection
faint v'-ton of having bee.1 with such
a man for awhile oa the night Of the

blocks and fell INTO a yard. He was
discovered by neighbors and the am
