il he is greedy Of the power, he will
not choose nobly or generously-ih
fact, that the man who can ennoble
money is he who cares very little for
it. The war makes all these things
palmer to US than they were in time
of peace. We now see greed for
money as it is, and we no longer rev.
erence the rich man because of what
he might do with his money, since
we have other tests forced upon US
than these possibilities. We value
a man for what he does, not for what
he might do: for his actual personal
qualities rather than for his posses
sions. In that we are like people on
a sinking ship. for whom all the GUS
tonary social values are destroyed
and a man is a man only if he proves
himself one. To US now the private
who wins the Victoria Cross is bet
ter man than the millionaire who
cannot sleep at night for fear OF
bombs. The money test is. for the
time, almost abolished. We know
by our own experiences at last that
a man may be POOR. not because he
is fool or a weakling. but because
he cares for other things than money.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1915-08-26

But shall we remember this when
peace comes again? Men commonly
apply this money test, not so much
because they are base in their own
desires as because it is easy to ap-
ply. We know by hearsay when a
man is rich; We have to find out for
ourselves whether he is simple and
kindly and brave But our judg-
ments are worth nothing to ourselves
or any one else unless we make them
for ourselves. unless they are based
upon what a man does rather than
on what he has: and there is nothing
which hinders us so much from eXer-
cising our own Judgment as the rev.
erence for money. 1t hides from us
our own greed and the greed of 9TH
ers. . 1t spreads a fog of decorum
where there ought TO be no decorum
at all: il makes us think there is
peace where there is a sharp material
war. And this war. not purely ma
terial, opens our eyes TO the nature
Of the other. It will have one good
result at least if it keeps them
open. Times.

A. ". Finn Visits Gardiner
After Absence of s. Years

A. w. Finn OF San Francisco is
passing few days in Gardiner look
ing up old friends and looking over
the scenes familiar to him in his bow !.
mood. He was born in Whitefeld and
was a cousin Of the late e. B. Nor
ris. who died about one year ago.
firty-two years ago he left Gardiner
and went West. where his wanderings
nnally landed him in San Francisco.
Serving the Western Union Tele-
graph Co. for a period Of 40 years. he
mas been retired and placed on the
pension list Of that company for life.
He then conceived the idea Of a visit
TO his native heath after an absence of
so years next December In finding old
familiar faces he was not disappointed
Tor he was fully aware of the changes
that SO many years must necessarily
make.
Finn has had his share Of adventures
in the telegraph service and at the
time of his retirement was one of the
Oldest operators in the country. He
was member Of the Russian tele-
graph expedition. which undertook the
task OF building telegraph line up
the Pacific coast to Boring Straits,
which it was planned to cross bv ca
bic. This line was to connect with a
land line for st. Petersburg, Russia.
This expedition also constructed the
line known as the Collins Overland
Telegraph, which was later taken over
by the Western Union The plan to
lay a cable across Boring Strait was
abandoned when the Atlantic cable
Vas demonstrated to be success.
In August, 1875. he went to Salt
Lake City to string link Of the third
Geographic wire across the continent
and had charge of the construction
work on that section between Salt
Lake City and Elko. Since that year,
1879, M. Finn has resided on the Pa
cific coast.

England and the War

After q brief lntrOduc4on IN WHICH
Mrs Brokenshire spoke Of England :
state Of unpreparedness at the opening
Of tine conflict and reliance upon vol
unteer forces she spoke OF what Eng
lands navy has accomplished since Inc
war began, how her enemies ships nave
been driven from the seas, how millions
of men have been transported to the
continent and the Dardanelles, with the
loss of only one transport. She told
of how 10 German submarines have
been destroyed or captured by the Eng
lish feet in the past five months. A
remark often heard in England. she said
is We hold the biggest TRENCH" mean
ing the sea, and quoted Lord Balfour as
stating. 'England's feet is now strong

A Visitors impressions
Mrs Brokenshire then said she would
attempt to answer the question, WHAT
difference has the war made in Eng
land?" not from a political standpoint
but from the standpoint Of casual Wis.,
itor in England. In answer she said
in part:
"The difference made by the war is
seen when one attempts to land in Eng
land. Passports are required and these
are rigidly scrutinized. 1t takes hours
to land at any dock. Then as one tray
els through the country soldiers are
seen everywhere, manned soldiers who
have returned from the front, new re-
cruifs making ready to go to the front.
Kitchener's posters calling for volun-
tcers are also seen everywhere.
Sober London
"In London every district has its re-
cruiting stations. Captive balloons are
stationed above London where a con-
slant lookout is maintained. On top Of
the high buildings and towers there are
searchlights, rapid fire guns and guards.
"A very impressive sight was the way
the crowds gathered silently to greet
the wounded soldiers who were return
ing home or to bid God speed to the
new regiments that were being sent
forth There was no cheering. They
were in too deadly earnest to cheer, and
the silence was more impressive than
cheers.
an London the street lights were
shaded but in all the coast towns no
lights at night are allowed. Conduct
ors use pocket flashlights to make
change on the street cars.
Il was in London six weeks before
learning that in many quarters of the
city tunnels had been laid similar to
suhways in which many soldiers are
stationed for the defence Of the city.

Mines Made Safer.

Much has been written about the
, automatic safety devices attached to
breaker machinery, boilers, mine cages
and elsewhere in and about the an
thracite mines of Pennsylvania, but
little is known of the uncounted thou
sands of dollars spent by the operat-
ors in safety work which does not
take the form Of automatic devices.
Large sums are expended. for instance,
in determining the thickness Of the
rock over the workings now that the
upper measures of coal must be work.
cd. This is done by means of bore
holes made with diamond drills. Each
bitt has from eight to 10 diamonds OF
from two to three carats. The cost Of
the stones is from $50 to SIS a carat,
and engineers calculate that the wear
on the stones alone costs from soc to
,5c a foot for drilling. In addition to
this the labor cost is from 81 to sl.5O
a foot. The loose material above the
upper measures varies from a few feet
to $50 feet in thickness. and there are
a few pockets even deeper than this.
Then comes the rock, which must be
bored with the diamond drills. At
some places these bore holes are sunk
every hundred square feet over large
areas, and some of them must be made
right in the middle of river All this
is a tremendous expense assumed in
order to secure good roof for the safe
working of the miners. All Of the
large coal companies ROW have re-
search laboratories in order tA secure
the best material for miners for the
same amount of money they formerly
spent on lower grade material. OIL
for 1.-THE miners lamps. for instance,
comes under this heading, The labor
atories now detect the inferior oils
and reject them. They test the
strength Of the iron and steel for the
mine cars and scientifically safeguard
the miners health and his pocket.
Several companies are now getting
rid of their old ventilating fans and
installing larger fans at a greater
cost. Although they have always ex-
ceeded the legal minimum OF air they
are still increasing the. amount for
the safety and health of the mine
workers. Heavier rails are being ICED
in the mines in order to assure safe
transportation. In the deeper work
ings the water contains more sui
phuric acid and destroys the rails
more quickly. The heavier rails thus
come under the head of safety pre-
caution. Some Of the companies have
instituted the custom Of leaving every
ninth chamber in a working intact as
an, additional pillar to support the
surface, thus tying up more money.
Only coal that is extracted can be
sold, but this expense is incurred in
behalf Of safety. In workings ada
cent to water it is tapped in order to
draw it of and pump it out. Thou
sands Of dollars are spent in this fash
ion in order to secure the maximum
of safety for the employees. All Of
this safety work, which aggregates
hundreds Of thousands Of dollars in
cost. is ignored by the public because
there is nothing novel or spectacular
about it, butt it is thoroughly appre-
ciated by. the more thoughtful. and
intelligent among the mine workers.

struck a mile and a quarter from
where l was stopping. 1 could hear
the reverberations as the bombs ex-

thrown on, the rapid fire guns opened
on the Zeppelins and the 'aeroplanes
started in pursuit. They destroyed one
of the Zeppelins that night.
