clever people have small heads and

Discovery Of Coal

There is strong reason to believe
that the first discovery Of coal on
this continent was made in Illinois,
by the early French explorers, some
time between 1878 and 1880. at Is
remarkable, states James Mac
Farlane, in Goal Regions Of Amer
ica," shat the first discovery Of
coal in America Of which there is
any account in a printed book was
made so far in the interior as Illi-
nois by Father Hennepin more than
$50 years ago." Hennepin's map,
accompanying the edition Of his
journal published in 1893, locates
coal mine in the bluffs of the Illinois
river near Ottawa, where an In
ferior quality Of bituminous coal
comes to the surface. Referring to
this record left by Hennepin, r. c.
Taylor, another authority in eco
nomic geology. states :"This is the
earliest notice on record OF the ex-
istence of coal in America.

Flash of Lightning Too
Quick for Eyes to See

The lightning fash is far too quick
for the human eye to actually see
but it is so bright that it burns a
distorted image on the retina which
is taken for the real fash. Prob
ably, most flashes endure less than
a thousandth Of second-although
multiple flashes, q series Of flashes
along the same general path taken
by the rest, may continue for as
long as a second. Really, lightning
is never zigzagged as 1t is generally
supposed to be. The bolt, as record
ed by cameras, is usually streak,
sometimes straight but often curved,
and frequently branching out like
the roots Of tree.
The commonly described "sheet
lightning" is not 4 sheet or even
broad band at all; it is just an or
binary flash which, hidden by the
density Of the cloud in which 1t oc-
ours, lights up section Of the cloud
in sheet" states a writersin the
Boston Herald.
Since lightning takes the shortest
path possible, it usually STRIKES"
the tallest object in the vicinity.
Church steeples are ideal targets
for lightning but, lacking them,
big barn, a tall house or even tree
will serve. The lightning crashes
through them and the destruction it
does depends upon the resistance
the object offers to the passage of
the energy. A metal object such
as steel f1ag-pole, is not harmed
in the least, as it allows the light
ming free passage. But wooden
flag-pole, a building or even tree
does try to stop the lightning and,
as result, is blown to bits, liter
ally exploded. Often heat is gen.
Grated by the battle between wood
and lightning and the wood is set
afire.

There We're No Glass
Mirrors Before 1850

1t was not until after the year 1850
that glass was in use for mirrors.
Before that date highly polished
metals were used, relates writer
in the Los Angeles Times.
Until the time Of Charles II, the
manufacture of mirrors was in the
hands OF the Venetians, who guard
ed the secrets of their glass fac
tories very jealousy.
But about the middle of the Seven
teenth century the English were
making marked improvement in
mirror-making and set out to cap
ture from the Venetians some of
the world trade they had enjoyed.
The first plates for mirrors were
said to have been made at Lam
bert in 1878, and from this time on
were in general use in England.
Mirrors in America were listed as
early as 1880 and were undoubtedly
of English make as they followed
the prevailing furniture fashions of
that time.
AS all glass was first blown as a
sphere it was impossible to make
big sheets. For this reason early
mirrors were invariably rectangu-
lar. Large mirrors were made in
two pieces. The plates were bent
straight after being blown.
After 1850 the plate was nodded,
not blown. The glass was thin and
uneven and the bevels were pressed
instead of being ground, which gave
q rounded edge and fat angle.

Paying Mining Royalties

In the long past, as their name
suggests, mining royalties were
paid to the reigning monarch. This
applied to mined products Of all
kinds, as well as coal, says London
Answers Magazine. Then, the pri-
vate owners of land began to OBJ
ject to this, as they claimed that
royalties for coal produced from
their estates should belong to them.
About the middle of the Sixteenth
century a law case was brought to
settle this, and the judges decreed
that, while gold and silver mines
belonged to the king, all other min
erals, including coal. were the prop
erty Of the owner of the land. The
rate of the royalty payable varies
In different districts.

Books, toys and other articles
that would keep bed-ridden pa
tients, young and old, entertained
and happy would be appreciated at
General Hospital, DIR. F. E. Har-.
rington, health commissioner and
head of the hospital, said last
night. He said the articles can be
taken to the hospital, or by calling
the hospital they will be collected,
provided calls are not too numerous
and the distance for collection not
too great.-MinneapOlis Journal.
The school bells have rung. Chill
dren have been returning to school
after three months vacation. Par
ents have been talking for several
weeks about getting their children
ready for the school year. This
should mean much more than out
fitting a child with new clothing.
Suitable clothing is important and
should be given much thought. We
all like to see our children look well
and to feel well. This cannot be
achieved without some effort on our
part.
Newspapers and other advertise
ments guide us in our purchases.
Teaching our children to form cor
rect daily health habits will aid
them in their growth to healthy,
happy adults. Check your child'sI
supply of physical resistance just
as you check their clothing supply.
Some communities were forced to
keep their schools closed because
of an outbreak of a communicable
disease. We should be thankful
that our city has not been faced
with this problem.
There has been an increase in the
number of our patients in the An
mex of Minneapolis General Hospi-
tai lately. The majority of these
patients is children. 1t may be that
some parents were preparing their
children for school by having de-
fective tonsils and adenoids re-
moved. Defects such as these are
handicap and retard a school
child. The different parts of a
child's body should work so we'll
together that they can forget all
about them.
Jack Miller and Thomas jackson
have been released from the Chill
dren's Ward. Vernon Gardner is
doing fairly well and Wellington
Mccoy improving nicely. William
Williams, who was seriously i'll for
days, made the grade and was dis
charged last week. Levi Dodson
expects to leave soon. Leola Young,
Mable Holmes Brown, Louise Craig,
Sarah Carey and Jane Peppers are
our latest patients. We inquired
about a suitable Rest Home for
Mrs. Peppers. Hope her friends
will stand by her now in this sad,
trying time. Pauline Bryant and
Katherine Digit continue to i'm
prove.
"Bob" Moulden remains on the
critically i'll list. He seemed to be
breathing "easy" in his Oxygen
Tent when we peeked in at him.
We noticed so many Oxygen Tents
on our way through the hospital.
Check up on your health when
nature gives the warning signal.
Remember the articles for the en-
tertainment of bed-ridden patients.
