DO REPAIRING UNDER. GROUND
Not Necessary to Haul to the Sur
face the Larger Locomotives
Used In Mines.

At one Of the large mines Of the
Northwestern Mining and Exchange
company, in Clearfield county, Pa, re-
ports writer in Coal Age, is a rather
interesting underground motor room in
which all repairs are made to the
haulage locomotives. The small gath
ering locomotives are sent to the sur
face to undergo repair work, but the
large ones, which cannot be run onto
the cage and hoisted to the surface,
are repaired in the mine when 1t Is
possible. The motor room, says the
magazine quoted-'is about Is to 16
feet wide. The walls are of brick and
the roof Of steel I-beams. A track
runs through the room at one side. A
large pit permits the mechanics to
work under a locomotive. At the left
of the room is the workbench,
which is equipped with all the various
vises and tools needed for repair work.
The crane can handle weight of Is
tons. 1t is operated by hand and can
travel the full length of the room.
Electric lights furnish sufficient illu-
mination for the machinist and his

suffered a crushing defeat at Macieo-
vice. where their commander fell, COW
cred with wounds.
He arose again, however, and, after
Imprisonment in st. Petersburg, was
set free by the Emperor Paul, from
whom he refused commission. In the
course of time he revisited the United
States, received a pension and parcel
of land, and was given popular as well
as public honors, but he was not con-
tented. He could not reconcile himself
to the alien law. At length he settled
quietly in Switzerland. and one of his
last acts was the granting of freedom
to the serfs on his paternal estate.
Thaddeus Kosciuszko's name Is in
delibly written, not only in the his

time, the pioneers and nation-builders,
were not unmindful Of or Indifferent
to his services, and they strove to
prove their gratitude by naming after
him many counties and towns.-Chris-

EnoIand Growing More Food Crops

Although actual figures are not yet
available, it would appear from a
general survey that about One-fifth to
one-quarter of the 100000 acres of
permanent grassland which the Eng
lish food-production department hopes
to put under the plow this season has
already been broken up. The program
of 100000 additional acres under corn
does not relate to permanent grass
only; no less than 100000 acres of
the land already arabic are included.
On this 100000 acres of arabic land
it IS proposed to grow food crops Of
higher value than formerly, or food
crops instead of luxury crops, and
substantial proportion Of 1t has al
ready been dealt with. The general
body of farmers are working hard
and doing their best to make the corn
area as large as possible.

HONOR BRAVE POLE
kosciuszko Will Ever Be Name to Be
Revered by Those Who Recognize
His Life's Devotion to the Sacred
Cause of Human Liberty.

~ UBLIC attention has, to some ex-
- tent recently been turned back
to the career and times OF
Thaddeus KOsciuszko. In Eng
land measure of recognition has
been given to the virtues and accom-
plishments of the Polish patriot. In
the United States his contemporaries
and their descendants have paid trib-
ute to his memory. Some Americans
have joined in testimonials, but only in
an inconspicuous way, while their
government has taken no official cog
niZance of the proceedings at home or
abroad. The apparent indifference TO
the memory Of this remarkable man
by a nation to which he gave his serv7.
ices freely in a trying hour may be
hastily attributed, in some quarters, to
the proverbial ingratitude of republics,
butt seeming neglect was doubtless
very largely due to the state of the
times, and the incessant demands on
attention by important current events.
Had conditions been normal, respect
and honor would have been freely be-
slowed upon the name of the great
Pole. Time was when the United
States We'd with his native land in ac-
claiming him hero. The opportunity
of the nation to whom he proved a
friend in need did not, however, wait
upon the present revival of interest In
him, nor will the gratitude of the peo-
pie of that nation cease when the re-
vival shall have spent itself. The Unit
ed States can and WILL in due season,
pay its debt to Poland in the name of
KOSciuSZkO with quite as much grace
and quite as much honor as it is striv-
ing to pay its debt to France in the
name of Lafayette.
The causes that led KosciusZko to
leave for America, in 1777, were partly
patriotic, largely personal. Of prince
ly house. he had been educated in War
saw. had travelled widely over Europe,
and had aspired to the hand of ward
of his soverengn. Here he met with
disappointment, and this, added to the
growing troubles of his country, from
which, under the existing rule, he could
see no escape, led him to seek part
In the American Revolution.
The part Kosciuszko played in the
struggle of the colonies was made IA
miiar to the school children Of other
generations in the Fourth reader.
There is little or nothing about him in
the school readers Of today. 1t was

Made Revolutionary Cannon.

In Pennsylvania during the Revolu-
ton Warwick furnace was very ac-
tive in casting cannon, some of which
were buried when the British drew
nigh in 11T7. The owner of EliZa7
beth furnace in Lancaster county, in
payment for sundry great guns, re-
ceived German prisoners, at one time
70 and at another 2S, at $50 per head.
He had discovered that they knew bet
Ter how to make guns than to use
them. Caldwell, now the oldest char
coal furnaces in the Union, yielded
its quota of Revolutionary ordnance,
and the owner of the Reading works,
after a few experiments, made an out
mt of one new gun every day.
No state but Pennsylvania can
clearly show four cannOn-casting
establishments in our first great
struggle. Near Baltimore, however,
cannon were cast in 1880 at North
ampton, and from Ridgeley's furnace
near it small cannon had been or
dered by congress in 1776.

So they beat against the portal
Man and woman, maid and child;
And the July sun in heaven
On the scene looked down and smileos
The same sun that saw the Spartan
Shed his patriot blood in vain,
Now beheld the soul of freedom
All unconquered rise again.
Aloft in that high steeple
Sat the bellman, old and gray;
He was weary of the tyrant
And his iron sceptered sway;
So he sat with one hand ready
On the clapper of the bell.
When his eyes should catch the signal
Very happy news to tell.
See! see! the dense crowd quivers
Through all it's lengthy line.
AS the boy beside the portal
Looks forth to give the sign!
With his small hands upward lifted,
Breezes dallying with his hair.
Hark! with deep, clear intonation,
Breaks his young voice on the air.
flushed the peoples swelling murmur,
List the boys strong joyous cry!
'.Ring!" he shouts aloud, Ring, Grand
pa!
Ring! o, Ring for Liberty!'
And straightway, at the signal,
The old bellman lifts his hand,
And sends the good news, making
Iron music through the land.
How they shouted! What rejoicing!
How the old bell shook the air,
Till the clang of freedom rufhed
The calm gliding Delaware!
How the bonfires and the torches
Illumed the nights repose.
And from the flames, like Phoenix,
Fair liberty arose!

SHIPPED in the "Old Presbyterian Meet
ing House" on the public square in
Carlisle, and it was in this identical
meeting house, on July II, 1874, year
before the Mecklenburg declaration,
public meeting of patriotic citizens
gathered from the town and surround
ing country, condemned the act of the
British parliament and urged vigorous
measures to correct the wrong. Col.
John Montgomery was the presiding
officer. James Wilson was present and
was appointed one of the members OF
the committee to meet with other COM
mitteeS to take action. He was later
member of the Continental congress,
Signer of the Declaration and q Justice
of the Supreme court. Wings history
states, "and when in the Continental
congress he received instructions from
his constituents in Cumberland county
to advocate an entire separation from
the mother country. This was prob
ably the first utterance of that sent1'
ment of the country"
Bancroft's Tribute to Wilson.
Bancroft says of Wilson: "He was an
ardent patriot, like many other emf
nent men of that day-not at first
avowedly in favor of severance from
the mother country, but he desired 1t
when he received definite instruction
from his constituents"
Bellman, writing of the potency OF
this meeting held in the "Old Meeting
House" on July u, 1774 says: 1.-The
influence, therefore, of the meeting, or
of subsequent Instructions to which ii
gave rise, seems to have determined
the action of Pennsylvania in that
great crisis which men even like John
Dickinson were too timid or too cow
ardly to meet

Philadelphia may he considered 1.-THE
birthplace of American liberty but
its conception in the "Old Presbyterian
Meeting House." in Carlisle, Cumber-
land county, Pennsylvania, made it
possible to be born.
The Scotch Irish part in the ReVolu-
tionary war and the events preceding
it is becoming more apparent and I'M
pOrtant, and the actions taken in the
PRESBYTERIAN meeting houses through
out PENNSYLVANIA are vital to historic
recital.

The story of this great day Is told in
charming manner in the verses that
follow:
There was tumult in the city,
In the quaint old Quaker town,
And the streets were rife with people
Pacing restless up and down;
People gathering at corners,
Where they whispered each to each,
And the sweat stood on their temples,
With the earnestness of speech.
AS the bleak Atlantic currents
Lash the Wild Newfoundland shore,
So they beat against the Statehouse.
So they surged against the door:
