The District Guardsmen cncamped at Radio,
Va, probably read with mingled feelings the
newspaper dispatch from the border stating that
the militia will celebrate Christmas on the
international boundary. Many OF these men
have been forced to sacrifice lucrative positions
to answer the Presidents call to colors Others
have been compelled to leave the comfortable
surroundings OF home Nearly all have made
sacrifices OF some kind. 1t is but natural that
they should look to the President to make clear
what they may expect Are they to aid in a
policy OF armed watchful waiting or defend the
eolors OF the United States in just war:

There is probably question SO alive in
the Atlantic coast States today as the infantc
paralysis epidemic. And the alarm is justified
by the rapid spread OF the disease and the
failure OF even our most distinguished authorities
to offer means Of stopping it. Confirmation
by DR.. Simon Flexner, Of the Rockefeller Insti-
tute, OF the belief that the disease is spread
primarily by personal contact of child with
child may be accepted by parents as a warn
ing not to be ignored. 1t seems a hardship to
child to be denied the pleasure of his play
mates, but Washington fathers and mothers soon
may be forced to take drastic steps if evidences
that the disease is gaining foothold here con-
tinue to be seen. 1t is highly probable that the
disease is transmitted by pets and it is likely
that many dogs and cats will lose homes in the
near future.

THE OkCIN OF COLD
 AND SILVER

Steamboat Springs, Ney., ha: has fgused prominetly in discus sions of the origin of ore deposits The waters of these springs con tain the precious metals in min ute quantities, and the sinter de posted by them contains several minerals that are common con
 uents of ores, as well as small quantities of many of the rarer metallic constituents of ore de posits, including gold and silver. Such springs, therefore, suggest that many and perhaps most ore bearing veins have been formed by hot waters rising from great depths, which have brought their metal contents up in solution and deposited them in open spaces or Assures in the rocks through which the waters passed, the de position of some ores being int1u- enced by chemical reaction with the surrounding rock. Many ore deposits are undoubtedly formed in other ways, for some are un- occasionally of sedimentary ori- gin and the metal content oi some others has been carried down, redcposited, and concen strated by rain water that de- scendcd into the earths crust, but the "hydrothernal' origin--that is, their deposition from ascend ing hot water-of many of the more valuable ore deposits is in cated by the close relation ob- served at many places between mineral veins and eruptive rocks. Thermal waters are believed to be, in part at least, given off by slowly cooling and solidifying masses of ignoeous rock (magma) deep within the earth.-U. S Geological survey.

THE ROMANCE OF COAL

CT and others like him could have leased thousands of acres of bi- luminous lands during the oil craze and got it for nothing. But tiSeg were swept away by the lure of oil, while the far more val uable coal was neglected.
 Wellington Christ, of Pine grove, recounted how his grand father had sold 8oo acres of an thracite in Schuykill country for S34o for the entire tract. Out of that patch have since been taken millions.
 Only a few years ago, whei' natural gas began its flaming ca reer, soft coal lands were again treated as a despised doormat But gas soon finished its meteoric journey, while bituminous still plods steadily on it's way as the worlds foremost fuel for steam ing purposes.
 And to prove that the tortoise has won more than one race, l can point to the fact that men are now paying SI,2oo an acre for western Pennsylvania coal, which they refused to purchase in the late nineties for Sso.--Philadel- phia Ledger.

BLACK SUITS OF THIN MATERIALS.

Daring Suits OF Black.

There is nothing about these new
coats and skirts of black to suggest
that they were made for commonplace
women or for those who want some
thing respectable and not conspicuous,
to phrase it in the language most COM
r,onlv used II is not probable that the
women of France who are IN mourning
wear these suits. for theye are eNces-
sively jaunty and could never ne mis-.
taken for symbols of grief. Even II
they were made of English crepe, the
daring and impertinence of their lines
could not be Submerged.
Taffeta is often the material chosen
but il is not as becoming to the hgure
as that silk called 'gros de Londres

where their durability naturally COM

age, is also having its effects in the

extent replace the old-time paper book

In issuing his decree, Minister Won

teachers to the fact that because of the

be inclesed in a heavy paper cover. all

Jackets That Are Not Removed.

of this black gros de Londres. made
for a woman who always wears a coat
as blouse and only turns down the
collar when she is lunching or dancing
in the daytime. The skirt is full and
short and the black blouse flares out
from the waist and has part of the
front cut to initiate those of a Zouave
jacket. The sleeves are quite remark
able with their fullness al the elbow
and their big cuffs that split below the
elbow and are buttoned to the upper
part of the sleeve. Notice that the
coat has only two buttons-quite a
