Difficulties of Mining.

Every time ton Of anthracite coal
and rock is hoisted from mine an
average of eleven tons of water must
be pumped from the mine.
1t takes about the same amount OF
power to pump fresh air into mine as
it does to hoist the coal out of 1t.
In some mines with long drifts the
car hauls may be as much as fifteen
miles per round trip.-National Engi-
neering.

Pre.ervino the Pumpkin.

In colonial days pumpkins were par
ed, cut in thin strips Of convenient size
and dried for future use in "punkin
bread and "punkin" pie. This custom
is one that we should initiate. Squashes
and sweet potatoes, when they show
signs of spotting, may be preserved by
the same method.-Good Housekeeping.

Akron and Rubber.

There are thirty or more rubber rae
tories in and around Akron. Three or
them are so vast that the visitor feels
q bewilderment that merges into awe
as he follows his guide hour after hour
through titanic shops. These three
colossal plants are said to represent ~
per cent of Akron's life, while Akron
itself stands for GO per cent or the
total rubber production of the United
States.-Edward Mott WooHey IN NC

Efficiency.

Efficiency is no new invention; 1t Is
as old as intelligence itself. None re-
alize efficiency so completely as the
creative genius-our Darwins, Fara-
days, Edisons and Fords-and none so
completely practice and exemplify
working explosively. Genius itself, we
are told, is the capability for taking
infinite pains.-william III. Smith In

Cheese today is not common among
the Bedouin Arabs, butter being pre-
ferred. There is substance closely
corresponding to cheese mentioned in
Samuel. This consists Of coagulated
buttermilk, which is dried until it be-
comes quite hard. 1t is then ground,
and the Arabs eat it mixed with butter.

TWIN KlDDDIES

No one seems to understand or love
Fay, the little spoiled granddaughter
of William Van Loan, hard-hearted
capitalist, but the old family butler,
who tells her fairy stories. In Pow
hatan, a mining town controlled by
Van Loan, Bessie, sweet motherless
child of Jasper Hunt, mine foreman,
lives with their housekeeper, Mrs.
Flanagan. The mining company raises
the price of foods stuffs at the only
store; the men resent this, and failing
to get increased pay, strike. Van Loan
refuses to yield and decides to use
scab labor. Scenes of violence follow
and, compelled to go to Powhatan, Van
Loan takes Fay with him. On an out
ing Fay meets and plays with Bessie
and just for fun they change dresses.
Separated, the unusual likeness de-
ceives the Van Loan governess, who
supposes Bessie to be Fay and whisks
her away. Mrs. Flanagan finds and
takes Fay, sick from exposure, to the
Hunt home
Business hurriedly recalls Van Loan
and mistaken for a changed Fay, Bes-
sic, given no chance to explain, revol-
utionizes the Van Loan household by
her sweetness. Hunt, the real leader
Of the striking men, is summoned to
meet Van Loan. During an unsuccess-
full arbitration meeting, Bessie comes
in to bid her grandfather" good night
and seeing her father rushes to his |
arms. Hunt, busy with the strike, sup
poses her to be i'll at home. They
are all dumbfounded. Later, Bessie
given a chance to explain, tells them
how she and Fay changed clothes.
Looking up the family trees, the like
ness of the twin" Riddles is explained,
and completely won over, Van Loan
yields to the men and Hunt is made
mine superintendent. This picture will /
be shown at the Gem today, matinee
and night.
