DIVER TRAPPED
Caught in Big Pipe When Wire Gable
Snapped.

Pittsburgh, Aug. 2.-Thousands OF
persons crowded Highland Park to
day while policemen, firemen, and
Water Bureau employees worked frant
ically but in vain to save Charles Car
penter, diver, who was lost in a
fifty-one-inch pipe connecting two
reservoirs in the park.
Carpenter, who entered the main
just before noon to reove an ohstruc,
ton, was imprisoned when a cable
snapped and heavy iron door, deep
in the water, dropped behind him.
Nothing was thought of his absence
for an hour, but as he did not respond
to signals, another diver went down
he found the door closed.
The air hose seemed to be intact
and the pumps were kept going,
while other divers worked to open
the door, and still others sought for
the second entrance to the pier. Just
before o'clock the door was lifted,
and Carpenters body was found. He
had been dead only few minutes.
His mother and sister were in the
crowd which waited all the afternoon
for news from the main.

She Gently SWore.

One of the new skeleton-trimmed
hats worn by women caused merri-
ment in a New York subway train
and cost one man the price Of new
pair of eyeglasses. The wearer of the
hat, a short, stylishly gowned, good
looking young woman, was seated be-
tween two tall men, both OF whom
wore eyeglasses with cord attached.
Every time the woman fdgeted
around the trimming would catch the
strings attached to the eyeglasses of
the two men. Suddenly one OF the
men started for the door as the guard
called his station. When he arose
he jerked the girls hat almost OH
her head, and as the hatpins pulled
her hair she gave little cry OF PAIN.
The man confusedly murmured an
apology, at the same time clutchlng
at his glasses, which had been loos-
ened by the conclusion AID which fell
to the floor and we're broken. The
young man beat retreat for the
door, while the young woman adjust
ed her headgear and gently swore be-
meath her breath.

The late Norman B. Ream, the Or

said to a New York reporter about
trust investigations:

warden.
"A game warden heard that a res
taurant was serving a game out OF sea-
son. He disguised himself with false
beard, visited the place and ordered a
pheasant.
The pheasant, delicately high like
roquefort cheese, as well as all good
pheasant should be, was served to
the game warden, and he devoured it
to the last morsel, at the same time in
fiicting severe punishment Oh bottle

of course, paid for all.
AT the end of his repast the game

said:

three times, then he gasped:

POETRY OF THE CELT
FRENCH EXPERT TRACES ITS IN.
FLUENcE IN LITERATURE.
Shows Possibility That the Institution
of the Nomad Trounadour Had
Its Origin in the Country
of Wales.

Anatole !e Braz of the University
Of Rennes, Brittany, in a lecture on
the Celtic influence in literature, at
the University of Cincinnati, dis
tinguished between two classes Of
Celtic populations, those Celtic in orr
gin, but with an intermingling OF
French and English blood, and those
more purely Celtic. The second class,
he said, is found in France, among
the Bretons, and in England, among
the Celts of Cornwall, the Welsh, and
the Irish. To it we must look for any
remains of the Celtic genius and for
the means by which Celtic influence
was brought to bear upon European
literature. Ireland. which M. lie Braz
chose as his starting point, possessed,
at the time of the Scandinavian inva-
sion, an old civilization that had been
little Influenced by Rome or Germany.
Christianity, however, left a profound
imprint upon the Gaelic soul. 1t is in
the religious domain that Ireland first
influenced the European world. Her
saints evangelical barbaric Europe;
and it was at the time of her religious
awakening that she produced her
artists and philosophers. The inf1u-
ence of her epic poetry was no less
felt than that of her evangelization.
The Celts of Cornwall and Wales, he
continued, superior in culture at the
time of the Saxon invasion, refused to
be absorbed by their more savage con-
querors The two chief Celtic pas
sions, love of country and love of in
dependence, found expression in the
legends of King Arthur, who, they be-
lieved, would reappear to free them
from the Saxon yoke. Through poetry
and music these legends were kept
ever fresh in the Celtic mind. Music
and song were an essential part of
their education, and the bard was
privileged character among them,
from the sixth century through the
twelfth.
Gradually, as the Celts and Saxons
united, the latter learned to appreci-
ate the Celtic poetry, and the Celtic
literary CuS'uSo pdSSOo Aheo N"@AOh
possession. But, as the new social
state evolved, formed of this alliance,
the art of the bards ceased to be an
official institution, and they were COM
PEELED to find a means of support.
They became wandering singers, go
ing to assemblies, feasts and abbeys.
II should not be surprised" he
marked M. lie Braz, ''if it should some
day be discovered that the institution
of the nomad troubadour, of the
jongleur, so popular in Europe during
the middle ages, had its first origina-
tors in the country of Wales" Through
the nomad bard, then, Celtic poetry
was disseminated, sung in the three
languages-Celtic, Saxon, Roman.

Take a Look at Canada.

Some of the Tories who have
been scolding President Wilson for
not keeping the American dinner
pail full should be greatly enlight-
ened by reading a little industrial
history now being made in Canada.
1t would reveal, for instance, that
the Grand Trunk Railroad proposes
to reduce the wages of $4,000 en-
ployees. 1t might be added that
the earnings of,,the Canadian Pacific
have fallen off many millions since
the outbreak of the war. Canadian
cities have hosts of unemployed
men in spite of the industries that
have been stimulated by the de
mand for war materials.
This in Canada, the State where
the corporations are so fairly
treated" where railroad and Trust
commission are not treading on the
heels of the benificent rulers Of Big
Business. With all these whole
some Canadian laws, carefully de.
signed to promote and encourage
expansion of trade, Canada still has
depression.
Why not blame Mr.. Wilson for
the depression in Canada as well as
that in the United States? Since
any Democratic Executive must
bear the brunt of crop failures and
panics both before and after ad-
mlnistration, why not unload the
depression of Canada upon his
shoulders as well? Why such

Plain Facts About Cattle

In connection with the live stock
trade in prospective sense these
facts are worth considering:
That such winter feeding state
as Illinois, Indiana and Ohio have
liquidated in consequence of foot.
and-mouth disease until bare spot
has been practically reached.
That the stocker movement into
territory east of the Mississippi
river has been reduced to zero
for three months.
That both Iowa and Missouri
have been marketing freely, owing
to various adverse conditions, not
the least Uf which is the advance
in corn. On the other hand, Nebras-
ba, Kansas and Oklahoma have
been heavy purchasers of cattle, but
probably SO per cent of the move
ment to these state is for winter
rOughing purposes.
The obvious conclusion is that
February will witness marked
scarcity of beef.
Of course consumption is at low
ebb, but after what has happened
during the past three months, high.
er prices for cattle look logical I'm.
less the public discontinue the use
of beef entirely. Live Stock World

Americas Mineral P.oducts

The mineral products of the Unit

volume now being distributed by
the United States Geological Survey
which contains a fund of useful in
formation concerning the useful
minerals and their values and pro-
ductiOn in all the States during 1912
and 1918. The figures given in
some of the tables are so stuDen-
dous as to be beyond comprehen-
sion. In one table are given the
figures for mineral production from
1880 to 1918, the metals being
valued at $185,OOO,OOO in 1880 and
increasing to $883,000,OOO in 1918.
The nonmetallic minerals increased
from $173,0O0000 in 1880 to ST.
562,000,000 in 1918, and the total
mineral production from $365000.-
600 to $2,44600000O. This total
for 1918 was an increase over 1912
of more than $200,0000OO. The
value of the metals imported for
consumption in 1918 was $237 OO0.-
600 and of those imported $685.
100000. The value of the total
mineral production from 1880 to
1918, inclusive, was $35, 1877, 100000.
