Paid the mournera.

The little town of Isle-sur-Sogne.
France, saw avery popular funeral
recently when the remains Of an old
maid, scarcely known except to her
immediate neighbors. were escorted
to the cemetery by nearly one thou
sand mourners. The story had gone
abroad that the old Lady left instruc-
lions in her will to distribute a small
sum to each person who should see
her buried. at the gates Of the cene-
terry after the ceremony. For this
purpose she collected 100 fve-penny
pieces. and also set apart $40 for the
funeral music accompanying her
hearse These stipulations were scru-
pulously carried out, and after being
played into the cemetery with all the
famous dead marches, the mourners
INDUCED in such contest for the
small coins at the gate that strong
force of police, gathered in anticipa-
ton, had to interfere to restore order.

Rock Dust to Save Miners Lives.

Perhaps the oldest, yet one of the
most effective, means for preventing
or, at all events, minimizing-disas-
ters in coal mines is the use of rock
dust.
A lot of it Is placed on boards hung
by chains from the roofs of mine tun-
nels. Obviously in case of an eXplos-
ion the boards will swing and the dust
will be thrown off.
Following an explosion a roaring
flame, let us say, is coming through
the tunnel. The air is filled with coal
dust Tor possibly with infiammable
gas) to feed it. But 1t meets cur
tain of non-inflammable rock dust dds
charged from the board shelves) and
is thereby stopped. Rock dust will
not burn under any provocation. Sus-
pended thickly in the air. it acts like
an asbestos curtain. The flame cam
not get through 1t.

ly when so much is at stake before the
people at this time. No one man ever
shouldered more tremendous RESPONSE
bilities since the world began, or had
more enormous problems to solve than
the American president within the
past two and half years. The strain
he has gone through has been appall-
ing Yet he has shown amazing grit
and stamina through it all. Few men
of sturdier type could have stood the
drain upon his system. Yet with Incl
dent after incident in the great world
war during its progress and adjust
ment after it was over, he has labored
necessarily without tagging or COM
plant or rest Through it all he has
been answering in his duty as he be-
lieved in it and saw it. 1t has taken a
mighty vision to grasp the overwhelm-
ing details of Woodrow Wilson's en-
tire six and half years in Office. In
that time he has put upon record some
far-reaching law and passed through
a period the like of which in it's tenn
pestuous maelstrom of agitated shock
to humanity never before existed.
