tons of anthracite used and contracted

nual fuel bill is somewhat in excess
of $4,000 for the season. Moreover, it
considerably in excess of the amount
named since there was little or no re-
pairs necessary for the different heat
ing systems, and during most of the
time only one furnace was used in one
building where previously two furn-
aces had been used continuously when
anthracite was employed. This is the
most convincing demonstration thus
far made in testing Maryland blum
nous coal in competition with anthra-
cite. 1t was shown that practically
only half of the ash was made and all
the ash was free from clinkers. Even

its white serenity adds another touch
of beauty.
Then there are Table Rocks and
Lovers Paths, with sunlight and
shadow fitting across; there are falls
of rushing, tumbling waters inviting
one to come and rest awhile and drink
in the rare beauty of these sylvan re-
treats in this cool bracing atmos-
phere.
Along the State road there are the
Rainbow and other inns close by the
lake inviting weekend guests to tarry
awhile and refresh themselves with
the icy cold pure spring water and
unrivaled mountain fare.
A two hundred mile trip can be
taken by auto via Addison and Union
town in Pennsylvania and Morgan
town, Kingwood and Terra Alta in
West Virginia. The pretty little town
of Kingwood in itself is a gem. Fine
homes with the red and pink rambler
roses at every door or on every lawn,
as well as here and there all along the
route.
The outlook from elevated points in
the town of Oakland gives charming
vlstas of green meadows, groves and
forest land, and far away mountains
in the blue distance. Even the occa-
sional light fogs that settle over the
town serve but to soften and beautify,
lending mystery and charm even to
the half-concealed and half-revealed
fine homes and lawns.
Nature lovers can ramble about
finding ever-increasing joy and pleas
ure in wooded haunts or through for
ests of hemlocks which also should be
visited during the winter season when
every bough is laden with the pure
white snow and the ground is a carpet
of glistening white. Then, if ever,
reverently bowling before Natures
God, will the soul be lifted into an at
mosphere as pure as the surrounding
scene.
May many seeking summer pleas
ures far from the city's din visit
these haunts where wild flowers
abound, and where the azalia, the lau-
rel and the rhododendron gladden. and
quicken the heart, and where the
robin and bluebird and thrush pour
forth their melodies. E. A. T.

mines. In almost every case every
grade of coal that was being loaded
and shipped was sampled.
The Maryland Bureau of Mines had
this work in mind for several years
and has finally been able to accom-
plish it. From time to time some en-
ploye of the Maryland Bureau of
Mines takes face section samples in
the various mines, especially in the
newer ones, and these are analysed
and results Of the analyses are fur
nished the operators, but, heretofore,
except in few mines no car sampling
has been done.
The analyses of the car samples
show the operator just the quality of
the coal that he is shipping; it is the
coal which the customer receives and
for which the operator is paid. In
many cases he is probably able to load
better coal than he is loading but the
analysis of the car sample shows the
quality of coal that he is actually
loading. A comparison Of the results
of face section samples with railroad
car samples will show the operator
the possibility Of loading better coal
and should be a strong argument with
the miner in regard to his loading
cleaner coal.
Recently representative of the Bu-
reau had an opportunity to observe
the results of burning Tyson coal
from Georges Creek and high volatile
coal from the Pittsburgh District, Pa,
in locomotives which were running
side by side. The locomotive burning
Tyson coal gave off practically no
smoke and no cinders whatever were
observed, while considerable smoke
came from the stack of the other To-
connective and constant shower of
small cinders, the quantity of which
was so great that they could be felt
under the feet while walking on the
pavement alongside of the locomotive
burning the high volatile coal, and
persons standing by the train were
subjected to great inconvenience and
annoyance from the shower of hot
cinders.
This fact should be borne in mind
when Maryland operators are endeav-
oring to market their Goals, especially
the Tyson coal for locomotive use.

in all its pink beauty from under the
snow, the little Quaker ladies in blue,
the dog tooth violets, the trillium, the
honey-suckle, the azalia, the laurel,
the rhododendron, and oh! so many
others, many of which are never
found in the West-home of the COL
den poppy and many egumes-neither
in the Islands of the Pacific, where
the poisoning trees are gorgeous in
their flaming reds and yellows, and
pinks, and lavenders, but not the ten
der, appealing, delicate poisoning of
the apple and pear, the cherry and
the peach; and where the benefcent
Nile runs her course there are the
lotus and papyrus, the lily, and the
yellow clustering blossoms of the date
palm, but the little children of the
oasis and the desert never gather the
butter-cups and the wind-fowers, the
daisies and the wild roses, nor find a
Jack-in-the-pulpit, nor blow merrily
away the feathery seeds of the dam
delion.
But the East! How many, having
left the parent home years ago and
now living in the far West beyond
the Mississippi or on the Islands of
the Pacific, or even in the Orient, look
back and long to return once more,
for awhile at least, to the beloved
haunts and the tender beauty of the
re-birth of the spring season.
Years ago in these mountain glades
few travelled far from home and
scarcely knew how very beautiful was
the surrounding country.
Now there are splendid State roads
without peer anywhere on the Con-
tinent passing through the hospitable
town of Oakland and embracing in its
route the Old National Road. No finer
glimpses of nature can anywhere be
had. 1t is a marvelously beautiful
country. Within a radius of perhaps
thirty miles even the skyline has not
been denuded of its forest trees and
there are nearby forest reserves to-
falling, perhaps, two thousand acres,
where grassy pockets, skirted by dark
hemlocks invite one to picnic or to
camp, and close by is the Deep Creek
Lake where trout abound, where boat
ing could be pastime and in imagi-
nation one already sees summer bun
galows dotting the shores of this lake
whose irregular circumference is
about seventy miles, the wooded hills
sloping upward and away from it, for

thousand feet the country is rolling
and the forests are broken by fine,

Tropics and the Far West.

To the Editor of The Republican.
The East has a beauty all its own,
and SO has the West, and so also have
the tropical and semi-tropical Poly
nesian Islands of the Pacific, as we'll

one may be contrasted, but not COM
pared with any of the others, for there
is little and often nothing in common.
The gentle, long stretching slopes
of the Alleghenies, the Blue Ridge

here and there more rugged features
call forth very different emotions
than do the Rockies with their tower
ing handicapped peaks, their deep i'm
penetrable canyons, their marvellous
shale formations, or the lofty Sierras
with their pinnacles of snow.
Then, too, their flora. In the East,
the graceful elms and willows, the
maple and oak, the hemlocks and the
chestnut; and in the West the ever
prevailing cottonwoods, the mighty
moss-covered oaks, the eucalyptus,
the redwoods, the coniferous forests;
in the Tropics, the banyan, the gor-
geous poncianas, the galden and pink
showers, the African tulip, the ma
hoganies, the royal and date palms,
the fan and wine and betel nut palms,

COMMENTS ON WORK DONE
Short Course For Miners Held

During Month of June

81 wish you good fortune in your
Summer School for Coal Miners which
is such a valuable aid to better opera
tions in the coal industry. AS l have
often said, think the resources of the
United States are not the key to its
great prosperity. Other countries,
such as China and Russia, including
Siberia and perhaps Asia Minor, are
more favored. Our wealth is in our
technical men of all kinds, high and
low, business and other, and it is our
great need to see that these men con-
tinue to be leaders in better practices
and more skilled operation. This is
the work in which you are engaged
and it is one in which all must wish
you the utmost success"

Miners began June 9th at Frostburg

are sent by their companies. Two of
the students have taken advantage of
the offer of George Stern of Frost
