RESUME RIVER COAL INDUSTRY.
Preparations for the resumption of
the river coal industry along Pennsyl-
vania streams whose watersheds lie in
the mining regions are being made by
operators in various sections and with
the cessation of high water the work
will start. Reports received at the
Department. of Internal Affairs indi-
cate that the operations will nearly,
if not quite, equal those of last year.
Approximately 2,000,000 tons of
coal have been recovered annually
from the beds of certain streams in
the State for several years past. The
product which consists mainly of
small sizes of anthracite washed into
the streams from the collieries and
culm banks is used principally by util-
ities companies, many of which con-
duct their own operations by. means
of a fleet of barges. On some of the
particularly the smaller
ones, the work is carried on with clam
shell scoops and stationary pumps on
the banks while the barge system is
used to greater extent on the larger
streams. ;
The principal operations are carried
on along the Susquehanna river and
its tributaries, the Wiconisco, Maha-
noy and Shamokin creeks and along
the Schuylkill and Lehigh rivers.
| Nearly three-quarters of the total
production has been from the Susque-
hanna in past years. |
Surveys and investigations by the
Bureau of Topographic and Geologic- |
al Survey of the Department of In-
ternal affairs show that for more than
thirty years the streams which have
their head waters in the coal regions
have been bedded with coal. Its re-
clamation was begun early in the
nineties when sand pumpers were used
for removal of the coal from the Sus-
quehana at Harrisburg. For many
years, however, profits were slight
but for several years past the industry
has reached larger proportions.
Indications are now, the reports
show, that the supply will be exhaust-
ed in between five and ten years as
the coal operators are making use of
the small sizes of anthracite and little
is getting into the streams. Virtually
all that is being washed down now is
from culm banks and these also are
gradually being utilized so that
eventually, it is predicted, the river
supply will cease.
It is estimated that there are more
than 100 operators, including both
‘ concerns and individuals engaged in
the business, with a production rang-
ing from 5,000 to 100,000 tons each a
year.
Breeding Trout.
Where private enterprise other than
commercial is concerned the artificial
hatching of fishes in this country has
been almost wholly restricted to the
trouts, and mainly to brook trout.
Fish and game clubs and associa-
tions have gone in for breeding brook
trout on a very considerable scale
within recent years for the stocking
of streams and to maintain the supply. |
The government also has paid a good
deal of attention to the trouts, hatch-
ing many millions of the eggs of the
most desirable species every year.
Among these are the rainbow trout
"and the golden trout—the latter oth-
erwise known as the Roosevelt trout.
Trout-breeding is a business long
ago systematized, and involving no
the fish being net-
ted and “stripped” of their eggs,
which are fertilized in the usual way.
Commonly the government fisheries
bureau responds to requests for the
stocking of waters by shipping the
eggs, packed in wet moss. Thus put
up, they can be sent by express thous-
ands of miles, accompanied by instruc-
tions for hatching them on arrival at
their destination.
When Squirrel Meets Squirrel.
It is a -common sight to see the
squirrels walking the telephone cables
high in the air above the street in or-
der to keep out of the way of stray
dogs or cats. On a recent morning
two of the squirrels chanced to be on
the same telephone cable, and met
about midway between two telephone
poles. Without hesitation one of the
squirrels swung himself underneath
the cable and allowed the other to pass
over in safety, after which he also re-
sumed his journey on the cable.
MEDICAL.
Renewed
Testimony
No one in Bellefonte who suffers
backache, headaches, or distressing
urinary ills can afford to ignore this
Bellefonte woman’s twice-told story.
It is confirmed testimony that no
Bellefonte resident can doubt.
Mrs. J. C. Johnson, 856 E. Bishop
St., says: “I can’t say too much for
Doan’s Kidney Pills. They are the
best remedy I have ever used for back-
ache and weak kidneys. I was a great
sufferer. I could hardly straighten up
or get around the house. I had dizzy
spells and would nearly fall over. My
kidneys acted very irregularly. A
memebr of my family had used Doan’s
veteran of the Civil war, who has been
bedfast at the home of his daughter,
Mrs. William Weaver, since last fall,
is also slightly improved. Mr. Betz,
by the way, is the only Civil war vet-
eran now living in this vicinity.
Kidney Pills and on his advice, I got a
box of Doan’s from the Green Pharma-
cy Co. They did me more good than
anything I ever used. The backaches
became normal and now I am enjoy-
ing good health. Doan’s certainly
cured me and I highly recommend
them to any one having backache or
kidney trouble.”
Mrs. Johnson gave the above state-
ment October 21, 1907, and on Octo-
ber 18, 1918, she added: “I am very
glad to confirm my former endorse-
ment of Doan’s Kidney Pills. No one
knows better than I what a wonderful
benefit they have been to me, for they
cured me of a serious kidney trouble.”

Flowers for Heroes
In this country the long-lasting
little flowers called “immortelles”
are comparatively little known. In
little flowers called “immortelles”
France, however, they are grown in
enormous quantities for the decoration
of graves.
Nearly all of the immortelles pro-
duced in France are growen in the
neighborhood of the village of Olliou-
les which is in the south, not far from
Toulon. The harvest begins in May
and lasts ten days, a period called the
“decade of the immortelles.”
They have to be picked very early in
the morning, when half-open, lest they

A A ARE RE RLRLRER
— Luther Burbank, the California
plant “wizard,” has evolved a new
kind of wheat whose kernels or ber-
ries are exceptionally large and hard,
yielding the fine white flour. The new
wheat was produced from a single
original grain of seed and is the re-
sult of 11 years of careful propaga-
tion. The principal advantage claim-
ed for it is its high content of gluten
—14 per cent. Ordinary California
wheat tends to yield an excess of
starch and insufficient gluten. For
that reason millers are obliged to mix
it with Northern wheat in order to ob-
tain a satisfactory flour for bread-
making. The new product is a winter
wheat, like all other varieties grown
in California. It is an unusually ear-
ly variety, however, maturing earlier
than any of several hundred others
that Burbank has grown. The plants
and the grains are remarkably uni-
form. The yield on the experimental
plot last summer was almost 50 bush-
els per acre.
