Find Rock Dusted Mine
 Is Safe From Explosions

and from tests made by the United States Bureau. of Mines, 1t is neces- sary for rock dust to be ground until 50 per cent of it will pass through a 200 mesh sieve.
 The best way to rock dust the en- tries from the pit mouth to the working face and also the room rocks is by the use of mechanical equipment. Mechan- ical equipment is recommended since it will rock dust the mine cheaper than hand rock dusting will, and, too, due to the fact that mechanically rock dusted mine is more thoroughly and more efficiently done.
 The mechanical equipment for rock dusting consists of motor driven fan forcing the all through tube on the end of which is sphere contain ing holes through which the dust is forced. This equipment is mounted on truck. The sphere through which the rock eust goes operates most ef- ficiently if held in fixed position, as by 50 doink no portion of the entry, whether it be the bottom, the ribs or the roof is missed.
 By experience, 1t has been estab- lished that mine should be rock dusted during the first year once quar- terly, and during the succeeding years generally speaking, twice annually.
 Making Actual Test
 The reliable rule, to follow to as- certain the correct time to rock dust again, is for the coal mine operator to make an actual test in order to de- termine the percentage of incombusti- ble dust present. To large extent the number of times mine will re- quire redusting will be determined by the control the mine management has over the production of coal dust.
 Tests of coal dust should be made by selecting an area about eight inches in width across the roadway and then taking a sample of this section, one from the roadway and one from the ribs and another from the overhead timbers or roof. These samples should then be run through a ten (10) mesh sieve and that portion of the sample which will not go through a ten (1O) mesh sieve should be rejected and the other portion is regarded as a sample to be tested for the percentage of incombustible content. A machine is on the market which can be used for testing the percentage of incombustible content in the sample. This instrument is known as a Volumeter.
 The theory of the application of rock dust to coal dust is that thA par ticles of rock dust get between the par ticles of coal dust and form a curtain like effect, and, too, when a mixture of rock dust and coal dust is thrown into suspension, the rock dust, together with the coal dust, absorbs heat and lowers the temperature of the coal dust and therefore the coal dust can not ignite and the explosion of coal dust is thereby prevented.
 Coal mines in Europe have been rock dusted for years and to date no record can be found of coal dust explosion in any of these rock dusted European coal mines.
 In the United States, several coal pro-

ducing companies here adopted rock dusting. The Victor-American company in Colorado, the Old Ben Coal corpora ton in Illinois, the Phelps-Dodge cor poration in New Mexico, the Union Pacific Goal company in Wyoming and the Indland Galleries company in Pennsylvania have rock dusted their mines and to date are in agreement that their operations are safer. A sense of great security exists, not only on the part of the operator, but the miner as well, and too, no coal dust explosions have occurred in these mines since rock dusting has been resorted to.
 The coal companies who have rock dusted have kept records of the cost, and too, the United States bureau of mines has done some work on this dusting can be thoroughly, satisfactor- fly and efficiently done for less than one-half a cent per ton.
 Insurance carriers will reduce the compensation rate on rock dusting coal mines.
 Coal mine operators should rock Der 1, due to the fact that the ex- about this time of the year. The cold dry fall air which is forced into the mine workings for ventilation purposes, naturally absorbs the moisture from the coal dust, thus leaving 1t in a dry and explosive state. i;@
 Undoubtedly, future conditions will reveal the fact that the successful coal producing company will be operated with satisfied employees, satisfied due to the fact that they feel q atgreat sense of security, since the hauIage roads, and room necks are rock dusted in order to prevent q coal dust explosion.

 anca of what he considered to be the truth than Henry Ward Beecher. who has been written about 50 mucn Snas there is hardly anything new to Oe aaid about him. Yet withau he was modest to a degree and summed pup lie notice to such an extent that ne always went to the pilot house or tne ferryboats on which he crossed the river to his editorial work on the Cnris- tian Union in New York. He had key which admitted him to the Cop deck of all the boats of the Fulton ferry. He personally told me that ne took great delight in talking to the pilots who could swing the boats with such accuracy in all conditions Of the tide.
 Publication of Book
 After MT. Beecher's trip to England in. the interest of anti-slavery, where he made addressesS that stirred Great Britain to the utmost, book was pub lished in London which contained. all his speeches. Copies of it were rare in America, and with the consent of Mir. Beecher John Anderson of the Anderson Galleries in New York and myself undertook to reprint it. Mir. Beecher was asked one Sunday. morn ing to revise the introduction which Mir. Anderson had written. An incl. dent occurred in connection with that visit which showed one of the charac- teristics of the world-renowned preacher. /
 The pastor of Plymouth Church had been to picnic with tho Sunday school the>day before. Mir. Anderson said: MT Beecher, hear you were at a picnic yesterdayp

 The first pastor of Plymouth Church, as 1t is so well known, went through a great court trial on charges brought oy Henry C.- Bowen, Theodore Hilton and others, and through it all the church stood by him in every way, even increasing his salary to $1O0, 900 d year during its continuance, but Mr. neecner would never allow himself to be interviewed in the matter and ne would not contradict anything said aoout him in the newspapers. He made this rule of his life. But at one oS the Friday evening meetings in the lec- Y. cure room he sat quietly and thouehf. fully in his chair at the head of tbe room; TOO when all at once, without any warning to his audience, he rose. threvy tne enalr far behind him, and in A Ioud and trembling voice said: ~

 Sofia, Bulgaria, Jan. 30.-The Bull garian foreign office has supplied the American legation here with large quantities of documentary evidence of Russian Soviet activities in Bulgaria, alleged to be aimed at the destruction of the existing order. The information is designed to sustain Secretary of State Hughes in the affirmation re- garding Moscow propaganda in his note to Foreign Minister Tchitcherin:
 More serious is the propaganda to overthrow the institutions of this country" said Premier Zankoff in an interview today. "I heartily sympa- thize with MT. Hughes resentment of soviet interference or attempted in- reference with the present form of government of your great country. We appreciate his refusal to treat with the soviets so long as this interference continues.
 We also in Bulgaria are the vic tins of Bolshevik enterprises exerted under orders from Moscow. It is amazing that this third international, as Mir. Hughes points out. should em- ploy in great. rich, powerful America the same ippudent methods which it employees in weak, defenseless Bull garia. Secretary Hughes denunciation of soviet methods deserves the grati- tude of Bulgaria"

visited il two or three times day.

watermelon. There were other water
melons, but this particular one was
bigger and handsomer than any of
he others. Farmer Browns Boy was
;ure that il was the biggest and
handsomest watermelon anywhere
around. He was sure ii would take
first prize when il was shown at the
agricultural fair.
He had given the vine on which this
melon grew the greatest care all
through the summer. No other melons
were allowed to grow on that partic
ular vine, so that all the strength of
the vine might go into making that
melon big and handsome. Every time
he locked at it Farmer Browns Boys

melon to compare with this one of

the little people keep a pretty sharp
watch on the doingS of Farmer
