MAKE QUICK TRIP TO WORK
fsow Miners In Tennessee "Ride the
Rair Down Long and Steep
Mountain Side.

The miners Of the Inman coal dis
trSet of Tennessee live on the noun
REin side. long distance from the
shaft openings of the mine in which
they work. How they contrived to in
vent q process to reach the mine In
the valley below speedily and without
tEtigue is quite an interesting story.
One day some clever fellow dis
covered that mule shoe would fit
ever the top of the Trail that marked
the course of the railway.
The next step was to attach short
board and then slip the mountain rail
sled over the track. Then all the
miner had to do was to sit down, pick
up his feet and transport himself and
dinner pail down the mountain to
work.
Early any morning the stranger can
see the miners come along with their
mule shoe tOboggans, calmly take
sent and begin to descent. A pick
handle, stick or even the boot serveo
as a brake to regulate the speed Of the
sled Sometimes two daring coal dig
gers will race on opposite rails from
top to bottom. But generally they
cake the trip carefully In order not to
interfere with the rights Of the road
that may belong to neighbor In
1ront OF or behind them.

Why Drink Water With Meals?

Contrary to long-standing theory,
water taken with meals is now rec
sfnmended. For years it has been
taught that water should not be drunk
with meals, because such a procedure
weakens the secretion of gastric juice,
also that digestion would be delayed
" inhibited. But it has now been
proved that the drinking of water with
meals stimulates the secretion Of gas.
TIRE juice, and that it causes inhibition
OF the growth of intestinal bacteria,
that it produces an improved liver
function, that 1t decreases intestinal
patrefactiOn, and that it enables the
food to be Utilized more economically
further, the saliva acts more efficiently
rs an amylolytic agent when diluted
with water. For all these reasons we
Msy infer that it is beneficial to drink
water with meals.

KNOW LITTLE ABOUT EARTH
No Curiosity Concerning Possible
Wonders Of Its Interior.

The earth's crust Is compared to
the skin of an apple by the writer Of
leading article in the Scientific
American Monthly. Our knowledge of
the globe on which we live, he says,
is not even skin deep; for an apple
as large as the earth would have a
skin twenty miles thick; and no one
has been much more than mile in
to the crust, or has bored into 1t with
tools more than q mile and half. 1t
is rather humiliating to think that
we know more about the sun, ninety
millions of miles away, than we do
of the solid earth under our feet. We
think nothing Of dispatching exploring
expeditions to unknown regions thou
sands of miles away; how about
little expedition to points only a few
miles distant-vertically downward?
Such explorations have been proposed,
although the boldest explorer has not
dared to suggest going further than
twelve miles-a trip that would take
him on the surface of the earth only
from one end of Manhattan island
to the other.

BROUGHT BACK SAD MEMORY
Little Wonder That Comedian Could
Not Look on Buns With Any

81 never eat buns" the comedian
said sadly. "they remind me Of a hor-
rible experience had once"
The listeners drew near. thrilled by
the tenseness Of his tones.
II was on ship In midOcean," went
on the comedian dramatically "Her
cargo was self-raising -four and cur
rants. and touring theatrical party.
Suddenly. In the dead Of night, we ran
into an iceberg.
There were no boats, so things look
ed very desperate for us. The huge
waves dashed over the sides and down
the hatchways.
'SThen we heard curious noise. The
water had got to the self-raising flour
and presently 1t began to ooze up In
large blobs, like buns. with the cur
rants mixed up in 1t.
"As the great Jumps Of dough fioated
on the water the heat of the sun baked
them hard. got on top Of one Of the
biggest and fiOated away from the
sinking ship.
'But, alas! the ocean whereabouts
was full Of sharks and they seemed to
like my bun. Anyway, they nibbled
and nibbled at 1t, and daily It grew
less, until I had hardly room to hang
on. got washed ashore just when
there were only two bites Of bun left
for them.
"Ever since then" he ended, with a
sigh, 81 haven't been able to look at
a bun without shivering."

Why Corks Are Best Stoppers.

The ancients kept their wines in
tasks, and it was drawn off as want
ed When bottles first came into use, a
primitive material used as shoppers
consisted of the root Of liquorice,
which was cut and formed to the
shape of corks. These roots are
stfR often used in this country for
the making Of bottle shoppers, and
II was not till the manufacture Of
glassware became general that the
practice arose of storing wine in bot
ties, and then the value Of cork as a
7topper for bottles became generally
acknowledged. Thence came the say
leg, This wine is corked"-meaning
u tastes of the cork. Imperviousness
tD air and water is a rare quality
which cork possesses over any other
known material, and it conveys no
disa greeable taste or flavor to the
Dguid.
