prominence. The football committee
was encouraged to go ahead with it's
plans of expanding and taking on
stronger elevens next season. Before
the Brown game, gloom pervaded the
campus and the class halls, and there
was some hesitancy on the part Of the
authorities as to whether it would be
wise to tackle stronger opposition in
1870 or wait another season

done which will in any way help to

One of the features of the campaign
to arouse the pep will be a series Of
mass meetings of Columbia reunions,
which it is planned to have
prominent alumni attend and present
their views. These alumni will be
picked from men who starred on the

Reorqanized Cracker Jack
Mining Company
oRAclEs OF OLD

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. IS
Andrew Carnegie once declared that
in ordinary electric light plants
hardly one-fifth of one per cent of
the energy of coal was actually util-
lied. That vas in the days before
the development of gas producers,
and other devices, but the figures
of Mr.. Carnegie have not been modi-
fled to the extent that might be
expected in a day of scientific in
ventions. Harking back to the
oracles of old it is interesting to
recall right here that John Mitchell,
who served with great distinction
as the head of the coal miners In
the days when they started in TO en-
force their demands through or2ani-
cations, gave it as his opinion that
he waste of coal in the process of
mining was more than 25 per cent
he believed that One-1Ourtn OF the
coal taken from the mines was never
burned. Mr.. Carnegie in an address
delivered in 1908 stated that the
actual consumption of coal had been
over $500, O00.0 600 tons, while the
waste and destruction had been in
the neighborhood of 5000, 600 900
tons. He added:
'If our mining were perfected
from now forward we might reckon
that considerable less than one per
cent of our original stock has been
consumed; but estimating of the
wasteful methods hitherto pursued
nearly two per ZEN of our available
supply is gone"
