TRAVEL IN ARMY FORMATION
Observer Has Told Of Peculiar Hab.
It's Of Crabs Found In Philip
pine islands.

On some Of the sand-lats Of the
Philippine islands, uncovered at low
tide, there are often to be seen huge
numbers Of the grayish-blue crabs
called Myctiris. The body has the
shape and size of a cherry, and the
legs are set close. DR.. r. p. Cowles
has given us q lovely picture Of the
ways of these creatures.
They move about like diminutive
armies, though the individuals seem
to be scrambling along rather awk.
wardly.
But what is most remarkable is
their power of intrenching themselves
with extraordinary rapidity. At one
moment there are tens Of thousands
on the sands, the next moment there
are none.
By approaching very slowly and
carefully, Doctor Cowles was able to
see what happened. When he got
near enough and stamped with his
foot. every crab dug into the sand
with the legs o one side. and at the
same time rotated its body, so that
It sank out of sight in a spiral.
In two or three seconds the army
had buried itself. After a few minutes.
Il tho sand was not shaken. they be-
gan to dig themselves out again and.
reforming their ranks, resumed their
march.

"GIvE THE BOY A LANTERN"
Sound Advice for the Farmer, and
Also Works Well Along the
Lines Of Education.

A writer in one of the farm papers
has a suggestion for fathers who
wish to keep their sons on the farm.
Give the boy a lantern" he says.
His idea. as he expands it, is that the
boy, once the lantern is his own prop
erty. will make his work pleasanter
by using it. He will do work before
dawn and after dark more cheerfully
because his lantern takes away the
darkness and the sense of drudgery.
We do not have lanterns In tho
city, but the Gary school system
gives u boys something to light
their lives with. 1t shows them that
there is something in life besides poll
parrot study, street corner loanng and
the p%erfunctory search, later on. for
. job" It 10 q lantern that shows
them what is suited. to their tempera-
ments and tastes. Instead Of look
ing forward with dread to the day
when they must 90 out and find .:
Job" they look with eagerness 20 the
time when they can use their knowl-
edge and their skill in lines Of work;
to which they have become attached
"A Job" becomes tho job" and
the Job is eagerly waiting for the boy.

TImBERING MINES is COSTLY
Owners Compelled to Put millions Of
Dollars Underground Every Year
Of Operation.

Nearly 100000 cubic feet Of tim
Der are placed in the anthracite minea:
of Pennsylvania every year, II An esti''
mate in the Colliery Engineer, lately
acquired by Coal Age, that the amount
of timber in anthracite mines is app
proximately one cubic foot for every
ton Of coal mined, is correct. The tim.
bered gangways and drifts cover q
vast extent, exceeding 1000 miles, and
the closely timbered shafts with their
miles Of heavy guide timbers which
must be constantly replaced, form q
large item. The total output since the
beginning Of anthracite mining Is over
$780, 00,0 900 tons.
A billion tons Of water, or over IL
times as many tons as the coal pro-
duced during the year, must be pumped
out Of the anthracite mines every year.
According to the chief of the Pennsyl-
yania department of mines the timber.
ing is an even greater expense than
the pumping. The cost Of placing this
vast forest below ground is stagger-
ing.
The cost of the material is given %
about 6.5 cents per cubic foot for
round timber and 20 cents per cubic
foot for sawed timber. At the lower
figure this would make 90,000,000 cubic
feet cost $6,850,000. In addition to this,
there are millions of mine ties, and
heavy white oak is used for the mine
cars. The use of steel timbers. which
are being adopted on account of their
longevity, for main gangways. turn.
outs. pump rooms and shaft and slope
bottoms. will add to the total cost Of
mining for the next few years, but Will
effect a final saving. Most Of the tim
Der now used in the anthracite mines
is yellow pine from the South.

she placed 1t for a week or ten days
