RECORD COAL LOADING.
Uncle Sans Plant at cristobaI Is the
Fastest In the World.

The good work of the CriStObal coal
loading plant Mt the isthmus of Pana-
ma is the subject of a report receiv-
ed at the war department from n
of its boards. whose conclusions are
that the plant fully meets the plans of
the engineers and is probably the most
efficient loading plant in the world. 1t
was found that the minimum perform
ance during the test was 1850 tons an
hour and the maximum 2,4S6 tons. The
minimum occurred when one of the
four diggers was temporarily out of
commission, due to n defective bucket.
At 2,400 tons an hour the plant far
exceeds the work of any other known
plant for loading steamships or even
of railroad loading plants. The canal
collier Ulysses was loaded at the rate
Of 1,G50 tons an hour, and 10000 tons
were put on her in eight hours. Mer-
chant ships cannot be loaded at this
rapid rate, as their matches are too
small and their bunkers are not ar
ranged to admit of such work. This
is a feature in shipbuilding that is be
ing carefully taken care of nowadays
in constructing ships hat are to pass
through the canal. All new United
States naval Golfers are so built that
they can be loaded at high speed.

HIS LOVE FOR HIS DEAD.

OF the Needy Living.
A little old man came into the Office
Of the Chicago Charities the other day

story:
Years ago, when all of my folks
were living, l couldn't afford to give
presents. Things are different now,
but most of my folks have gone. 1
went shopping, just as if my folks
were alive. l picked out a shawl for
an aunt of mine. She's dead and so
! didn't buy it, but l put down the
amount Of money l would gave spent.
Then l wen and got some things for
my dead brother and for my father
and mother and for a few old friends
of mine. / didn't really get them, you
know. but / priced the things ! thought
they would like. When / added up all
the money l would have spent it came
to almost $50, SO ! added a little to it.

he might, 1t is true, have spent money
on stone to make more artificial and
melancholy the quiet hillside where
-his folks rest. He found a better
way to spend his affection, to remem-
Der In fancy those he could no longer
reach and hen to see that his loving
memory of them went to make others
happier. He made his love for his

SHELL SHOCK IN BATTLE.
A Curious Fact That Only Unwounded
Men Suffer From Il.

By the methods of modern war no
inconsiderable proportion of battlefield
casualties are due to shell shOck-a
new terror of battle and one that was
unknown before the advent of later
day high explosives.
1t is a curious fact that only un-
wounded men suffer from shell shock.
Eminent surgeons say that a wound
neutralizes the psychic sense-in plain
English that nerves do not affect a
wounded man in the same way as an
unwounded one.
For shell shock i5 nothing more or
less than a nervous breakdown-a ter
rtbly intensive breakdown that physi-
clans find most difficult to cure. 1t is
entirely a mental cause, and though it
is called shell shock it has very little
to do with shells.
There are men, brave men, too, who
find the strain of war too great for
their mental stamina. They see terri
Bile sights and hear terrible things, and
these react upon them temperamentally
and physically. Gradually, perhaps un
consciously, their ability to resist is
~overborne Their mental power is ex-
hausted. They become afraid-dread-
fully, terribly afraid-and the end is
only a matter Of time.
A certain cure has yet to be found,
though severe electrical treatment has
bad some effect.-London Answers.
