COAL MINE FIRES
BURN FOR YEARS
Starting In Refuse After Digging
And Process Is Like Spon-
taneous Combustion


SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,. Feb. 3.-Fires
burning for years in coal mines. deep
beneath the ground, are one OF the
unsolyed problems of coal mining in
Illinois.
Many of these fires, walled up years
ago. recently have caused trouble in
southern Illinois mines. according to
Robert NJ. Medill, director of the state
department of Mines and Minerals.
The Donk lrothers mine at Col
linsville, the North Mine of the Illi-
nois and Indiana Coal Corporation at
Witt. and several mines near Spring
field have been compelled recently to
steal up portions OF their workings
TO prevent the spread OF these
smouldering furnaces. which burn
without stopping in the hidden
chaml ers underground. One mine
was ordered closed entirely.
The fires start in the refuse which
is loft after the coal is dug and are
caused by process similar to spon-
taneous combustion. according to MIR.
Medill. The miners call them "gob
fires from the word applied by coal
diggers TO the debris in the mine.

AMERICAN DOLLARS
BOON To BUSINESS
U. S. Money Supplants Portu-
gucse Currency Which Is
Legal Coin

FUNCHAL. MADEIRA, Feb. B.
The American dollar, although Portu-
guese currency is the legal coin OF the
island. has become the favorite
medium of exchange for local mer-
chants and hotelkeepers. Every in
fux of American tourists. brought
here on the cruises to the Mediter-
ranean and Egypt. is watched with
the keenest interest. and prices are
marked and quoted in coin of the
United States. Even in a standard
commodity like Madeira wine, the
price quoted to Americans is in dol
lars.
While being more or less a convent
ence to the tourists. the dollar stand
ard OF value brings considerable
money into the pockets of the dealers
The deprecated value of Portuguese
currency would render their returns
very meager if they adhered TO their
own escudos. As it is. they buy their
merchandise in escudos and sell them
in dollars. AT the stores where SOU
venirs are sold, the sales boy snap
out their prices in dollars and cents
with the alarcrity of street vendors.
Wooden Sleds, But No Snow
Wooden sleds drawn by oxen over
cobblestone streets, on which not one
flake OF snow ever falls, again provide
the principal form of amusement this

No FIaring But Burn Slowly

They do not fare up in fame, but
burn slowly, smouldering away for
years until they eat themselves out Of
fuel. Chambers where these fires
start become a mass OF live red Goals
and must lie sealed up to keep the
air from them.
The trouble is caused when a fire
eats its way through a wall and
threatens to break through into the
mine workings. Some time the
smouldering Goals eat up the sup

Standardization resulting from the
mixing of water and the refuse that
causes the original combustion. The
only way to stop the fires is to re-
move the burning Goals from the
mine. Many such fires may lie seen
on slack piles on the surface in this
section of the state. These can be

Students Spirit Commended

Since it has been explained that rs
per cent. of the gross receipts are to
be distributed between the Red Cross,
Annapolis Emergency Hospital, and
the fire companies of the city, how
ever, and also that members of the
Dealers Association are to contribute
the main expenses for the function,
the objection was withdrawn. And i'm
this connection the students of the
college desire the public at large to
know that they always stand ready to
cooperate in any movement for the
benefit of Annapolis, feeling that the
people of the city have the welfare of
the college at heart. For the manifes-
tation of spirit in trying to protect the
college against commercialism, the
student body has been highly com
mended by the promoters OF the auto
show and others.

much dispatch. and action was also
passed on a number of civil cases. OF

To HONOR THOSE WHO
Save LIVES OF ANIMALS
nsy The Associated Press,

CHICAGO, May ia movement
has been inaugurated by the Amer
lean Humane Society to award med
ais to men, women and children who
risk their lives in saving the lives of
animals, according to an announce
ment by the Illinois Humane Society,
member of the national society.
The idea originated following the
receipt OF information of two roseuee-
from death of dogs recently. One told
of two men who rowed boat through
a field OF ice in the Kennebec river
in Maine to reach two collie dogs who
were floating down the river on a
piece of ice that had been torn loose
as they were sitting on it,
The other case was where two men
in New Jersey rescued a dog that had
been sucked down by the quicksand
pitiful cries had aroused the men dur
ing the night, and the darkness, COM
bined with a fog and quicksand at
almost every step, made the rescue
work extremely dangerous, but the
men found the dog after much tedious
hunting, and worked two hours be-
fore they got the animal out. Each
man sunk to the waist in quicksand.
The National Humane Society. ac-
cording to the announcement, will at
tempt to have a national bronze
service medal" made available for
award to those who perform similar
feats.

Mayor And City Council Will
Consider Matter At Regular
Meeting Monday Night

Probably the most important busi-
ness to come before the Mayor and
City Council at the regular monthly
meeting Monday night. will be the
question of providing ways and
means for making repairs of a per-
manent nature at the works of the
Annapolis Water Company, where the
impounding dams were seriously
damaged by the cloudburst of three
weeks ago.
The matter will be brought before
the municipal authorities through the
report recently made by President
William H. Moss to the Board of Di-
rectors of the Water Company. The
report of Mr. Moss was published in
full in The Evening Capital few days
ago. In it, that official not only rec
ommends the construction of concrete
dams that would be permanent i'm
proyement and safeguard against
conditions now existing, but also that
the question of filtration which has
been much mooted during the last
few years, should be settled at this
time.
