CHINA'S LABOR MAY PLAY
 BIG PART IN GREAT WAR

The Picking correspondent of the As- sociated Press says China's first aad most important contribution to the cause of the Entente Allies in the war doubtless will be laborers.
 Before China joined in tho war against Germany and Austria, she had already supplied moro than 100000 la borers to France, England and Russia. Coolies for az rjcultural work and dock work have been going to Western Europe for nearly two years. Russia has also been drawing from Chinas in- exhaustible supply of labor for Siberian mines and farms.
 Of the 1000, ,oOO persons in China it is estimated that at least 4O,O00.000 are men capable of carrying arms or doing some sort of labor directly connected with the war.

Nature of Sleep

Investigation by scientists of the na- ture of sleep of persons in normal health shows that it varies according to the daily diet and the different hours at which sleep is begun. Altogether the ideal hour for retiring is 10 o'clock The sleep of a person going to bed reg ularly at approximately this time grad ually augments in intensity for the space of an hour It then suddenly be- comes very profound, reaching it's max imum intensity at about 1l:30 o'clock. Within five or six minutes from this time it has been found that the sleep begins to be less deep. In an hour the sleeper is again in the same condition of slumber as at about 1l:l5. From 2 until it augments, and then it con- sistently diminishes until it ceases at the customary time of rising.-Ex.

REPAIRING vATERLAND
NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT
REMARKABLE RECORD OF AM
ERICAN WORKMEN-15,000
SOLDIERS ONE TRIP.

Among the feats of engineering con-
tributing to the successful waging OF
the war we like to record the manner
in which the interned German ships
were made ready for use after they
had been damaged. says the Mining
and Scientific Press. The Germans
did such damage as would, they esti-
mated, put the vessels out of service
for two years. The 81 German ships
of 100000 total tonnage, had their "A
engine cylinders SO broken that
speedy repairs seemed impracticable.
Some of the castings required for the
biggest vessels were supposed to be
beyond the capacity of any American
| foundry. The shipping board estim-
ated the bill for repairs at $2,6O0,000,
and the time required at Is to "a
months, yet the job was accomplished
in months at an expense of only
$273, 900 One of the first ships tackled
had four broken cylinders and it was
estimated that Is months work would
engines were repaired, and within 80
days the vessel was ready for sea; in
deed the time taken for repairs in
many instances was hardly more than
that needed for such overhauling of
the machinery and cleaning of the
bottoms as was necessary after so
long a period of inactivity.
Ships Better Than Before.
Many of these ships are now strong
err than before, and they are being OPP
Grated more cheaply than by the Ger
mans The most striking example Is
the Vaterland, which is 907 feet long,
or 200 feet more than the height of
the Woolworth building in New York,
and Is rated at 54,2S2 gross tons or
|23,54S tons net. She has 10 decks and
Is elevators. Cylinder castings
weighing 70 tons each were required
and there was no dry dock big enough
to hold her except at the Panama
canal The thirteen breaks in the
cylinders We're patched by electric
welding, without single rivet having
to be put through the 3k inches of
metal. Many improvements were
made and within few months after
seizure the great ship went forth at
81 knot speed using 200 tons per day
less coal than before. She is now
called the Leviathan and Is credited
with transporting $1,000 soldiers in
single voyage across the Atlantic,
making her last round trip in II con-
secutive days. The Germans were
misled-they were badly fooled-by
their conceit. American invention and
enterprise used constructively was
more than a match for their sabotage
and meanness used destructively.

METAL MINE ACCIDENTS.
Record Of 1916 Is the Lowest Fatality
Rate in Six Years.

A bulletin from the bureau of mines
says returns received from the opera
tors of metal mines for the year 1916
concerning accidents and men employ
ed are gratifying in that they show the
lowest fatality rate during the six
year period in which the bureau of
mines has been collecting statistics of
accidents at metal mines, and the larg-
est number of men employed during
the same period. AS compared with
1915, there were 936 more operators
reporting in 1916. and an increase of
1857 employees over the previous year
or 34.6 per cent. The number Of days
work done during 1916 was about 49,
200, 900 in excess of the previous year.
The increase in the employees in the
different groups is as follows: Copper
mines, 30 per cent; gold and miscel-
laneous metal Mines 33 per cent iron
mines, SO per cent; lead and zinc
mines of the Mississippi valley SO per
cent; and the non-metal Mines 81
per cent, as compared with returns for
| 1915. In addition to the men employ
ed at mines, the metallurgical works
(not including iron and steeD reported
SO,2O1 men in 1916, as compared with
1881 in 1915.
There were 697 fatalities reported
for 1916, making the rate 3.41 per 1000
employees, as compared with 419 in
1911. There were reported 4S,237 nom
fatal injuries in 1916, as compared
with 1926 in the previous year, the
non fatal injury rate per 1000 employ
ed being 1856, as compared with
23202. Although the fatality rate has
decreased since 1911, there has been
an increase in the non-fatal injury
rates, not that metal mining is be-
coming more hazardous, but the enact
ment Of compensation laws and the
establishment of better inspection SER
vice have resulted in mining compan.
les keeping better records, thus max.
ling more complete data available. L
is believed that the reported non-fata
injury rate at metal mines Is still low
er than actually exists in this indus
try. This statement is borne out b!
certain data covering a period Of thre
years compiled from the reports o
representative companies at who's
mines systematic records are bein
kept and large amount of safet
work Is being DONE

Building and contracting by parcel
post may be said to have become a
reality, for there has recently been
completed in Vernal, Utah, substan-

Of which, together with the hardware,
were delivered by the United States

There are no railroads in the vicin-
ity Of Vernal and all building material
not of local production must be
brought over stage roads, Popular
Science Monthly explains. The con-
tractors who undertook the erection OF
the bank estimated that it would be
as cheap to forward the materials by
the means stated as for them to hau
lit overland. Brick and the metal parts
were sent from Salt Lake City ir
packages of the maximum weight per.
mitted by the postoffice. 1t required
several weeks to deliver the materia
for the building, which cost $4,000
The stone and lumber were obtained
in the vicinity and the glass was sen

ASSESSM EMIT WORK.
Court Decision Defines the True STAN
dard Of Value.


Interpreting the provisions of the
act of congress requiring 800 worth
of labor to be performed or improve
ments of that value to be made each
year on a mining claim until issue of
patent, the South Dakota supreme
court held lately, in the case of Nc
Kirahan VS.. Gold King Mining Co.. 1875
Northwestern Reporter, 542, suit to
quiet title to a group of six unpatented
mining claims, that evidence Of the
cost of labor, material, ETC., may be
shown as tending to establish the
good faith of the person making the
expenditure, but that 1t is not conclu-
sive upon the question Of the value of
the improvement made at such ex-
pense. Plaintiff insisted that the proof
showed that the work performed by
defendant in 1914 did not amount to
more than Sill per claim, the figures
being based on wages paid employees,
ever, said: But this is not the correct
method of computing the value of as
sessment work on mining claim. The
true test Is the actual value of the i'm
provement to the mine"
On another phase of the suit, the
court decided that one owning several
|adjoining mining claims might do 800
worth of assessment work on any one
of the claims, hold that claim, and for
felt the others, or he might do enough
work on one claim to hold two, desig-
nate the particular claims intended to
be held, and forfeit the others.
