I The mine workeis in the anthracite district got three rises during the war. They -vere in arjing amounts, accord- Ing to the grade of work done. In nil they amounted to nbout 23 or 30 perjernor Sproul announced the fifty -cent rc((.icd from him. He repoits that cent over the old rates. The extra i advance in conl prices in Apiil.

Existing agreements between mine' uIe aftcr tJ,e R,000,000 ton coal deficit owners and mine workers expire next!lln(' becn l1'1'0'! UP April. Thc men are demanding both ' shorter Lours and bigger pay. The! jnusji miners nave ueen promised a shorter working day, at first a seven hour and finally a six-hour day. The anthracite miners of Pennsylvania de mand a six-hour day as a part of their next agreement. They also demand in creased pay, which, roughly, will amount to about 2.1 per cent over what they nre getting now. If both demands arc granted it will mean less production at greater cost. The consumer, of course, will foot tho bill. It has been estimated that the Increased cost per ton may be as high as $2.50. It may be argued that these Increases . Will not affect the nrlce of conl this g winter, because the present wage-and hour scales hold good until next spring It must be remembered, however, that as winter approaches there will bo a i';i tendency on tho part of big consumers I of coal to get panicky over the threat ened riso in price, and to endeavor to l& postpone me inevnaDie ty laying in uuge reserve supplies oi coal.

And the wages paid nro not particularly high, even with the war tlmo Increases, The aristocrat of the mining Industry Is the coal miner the man who cuts the coal. Ono naturally thinks of every man who works In n mine as n "miner." That notion Is wide of the truth. It Is much like a front lino soldier, the fight ing man, and the four or the others behind the lines who back him up. The coal cutter Is eijher n "contract miner" or a "company miner," . The contract miner has the better and the higher paid job. What Miners Arc Tald The miner may go down into the mine where he works, fire a "shot," after several hours spent In preperntion. and then lay off for two or three das while the mine laborers working under him clear out the coal he has dislodged, load it on to cars and send it to the surface lie gets pnid for cveiy ton thej take out. Averages kept by one of the biggest mines in the hard coal district show that they pav $7 a day, on an meiage, to tin contract miner, and S." a daj also on an average to the company miner. Some expert miners, of course, make a great deal more than this. And tbev biive a habit of reckoning as a "dnj "s" work whatever comes to them from a single "shot " Mine labor K scire p in the anthracite lields. The scarcity is worse in the most essential of mining ocupntions, tlmt of the miner pioperlj so-called Von can get plenty of laborers. JSut miners are few.

While passports will not 'bo Issued until after November 1 to persons wish ing to visit I'urope solely for pleasure, the State Department, beginning imme diately, will Issue passports without re strictions as to age or sex or statement thnt the proposed visit is "legitimate or reasonable." Tho department, however, in thc view of the crowding of transatlantic steamships, advises all persons planning to visit Europe to ascertain in advance from steamship agents whether they will bo able to obtain passage. Such per sons also nre ndvised to inquire of the consuls of the countries which they pro pose to visit whether they will bo able to have tlieir passports vlseed therefor.

They admit tint proof is difficult, If not impossible. If it could be demonstrated with mathematical certainty no faith would be needed. We know that the sum of the angles of a triangle Is equal to two right angles because the geome tricians can prove it to us beyond the shadow of a doubt, and the rcnsonlng is so clear and simple that It conviuces every Intelligent mind. Hut when an attempt is made to prove that denth does not end nil, recourse is had to rcnsonlng of an entirely dif ferent character.

The house stood in a delightful garden, lie devotes many pages to descriptions of what goes on and indulges in orthodox remarks nbout Cluist and His incarna tion. The communications were made through a medium. Sir Oliver Lodge, who writes an Introduction, snjs that the messages represent at woist a psy chological phenomenon, while nt best they convey the impression of an eager nev comer on thc other side. He is frankly noncommittal as to their au thenticity. There comes out of Buffalo a scries of letters or messages from an unnaine,' plivsiciaii who died in 1015, nnd was assigned after death to go to France to work on the battle fields In assisting the spirits of the killed to escape from their mortal bodies. When alive he had been skeptical about the possibility of com municating with thc dead, but he uses two friends still ullvc as the medium through which to let the living know what is happening to tlie dead soldiers. His testimony corresponds in general with that of the boy who communi cated with his mother by Virelcss. The soldiers w.cre still in Europe when he was writing, serving on thc battle fiedd in one way or another. They were still In uniform nnd under command ot their officer nnd obeying orders ns when ln life. There runs through the book the theories of the mental scientists, and much Is said nbout tho ability to "think health" and nbout tho color of thought and the possibility of creating even tangible objects in the spirit world hv thlnklne of them. The book Touched for by Frederick W. Kendall, literary editor of tho Huffalo Sunday Express. "The nugle," purports to be com munications received by Dr. Betsy II, Hicks, from Kendall Lincoln Achorn. a Hoston medlcnl student killed In an nutomobllo necident, nnd Is written to comfort the bereaved friends of dead soldiers. Achorn finds n very material world on the other side of the grave. He does not seem to have left the earth, but hovers around It. He sits in a chair and holds a little girl in his1 lap nnd rends to her from books. He announces thnt he used to like Inrgc cities, but that he has grown to prefer smaller towns. IIo communicates with Doctor Hicks, with whom he was not Intimately acquainted during life, be cause she had been friendly. "The Twentieth Plnne," n much more ambitious volume, comes from Dr. Albert Durant Watson, president of the Association for Psjchicnl Itcsenrch of Canada, who reports conversations he has hnd with Sbnkespenre, Lincoln, Walt Whitman, Elbeit Hubbard, Keats, Shellej , llenvenuto Cellini nnd n score of the other famous dead. They were not direct, but through the assistance of Louis Itenjamln, 11 young business man of Toronto, born of Hebrew par ents. Thcv came by the ouija board, by nufom.itic writing nnd in a trnncc. All sorts of subjects were discussed, from the poetiy of the Ilev. Robert Norwood, rector of nn Overbrook church, to the color of souls of negroes. These, as Dorothy AVordsvvorth ex plains, are tlie same color ns the sodls of white persons "YV0 nre nearly all here," she explains, "the pnle pink of sea -shells " Kcnts snjs some flnttcr ing things nbout Mr. Not wood's verse. Henjnmin, the medium, does not seem to have anv difficult In getting into communication with nny one desired. The book has an introduction by Abra ham Lincoln and S. T. Coleridge, nnd is dedicated by Coleridge to the heroes of the war Doctor Watson does not claim thnt the messages are nuthentlc but he publishes them for the informa tion of those interested. The Interest in thc subject Is so great that tho publishers have thought it worth while lepiinting W. T. Stead's communications from "Julia" received during n period of jeirs Stead was so thoroughl convinced of his ability to get messages from the dead that he ran an information bureau In London which he put nt the seivlco of those who wished to hear from their departed friends. "Julia" seldom failed to pro duce n sntisfnctor.v messaKe, delivered through the hand of Stead himself bj means of it pencil which she directed. Her descriptions of life cm the othci side differ very much fiom conditions 11s rcvenh'd by later news from the sol diers who have reported in tho books already mentioned. Her "Heaven" is much more nearly orthodox. In strange conttast to these fluent messages are the repoits of the at tempts of Frederic W. H. Mjers, for mer president of the Soeietv for P..,.- chical Research of London, to get word iiirinign to nis tnends still alive. II. A. Dallas, in "Death, the Gate of l.iVn ' has reviewed nnd discussed certain coni- munications purporting to come from -u.vers. -I'lieso communications unications llre uncertain. And ustworthy. For nth Mjcrs left cijptie, hesitating nnd sometimes thej nre untr example, before his death with Sir Oliver Lodge a sealed en. velope containing some words which it was his Intention to communicate aftcr his death. On Jul 13, 1004, Mrs. Verrall, through whom Mcrs is said to have communicated previously, wrote rutomatically that the envelope con tained n passage "from the sjmposium nbout love bridging the chasm." The message described the paper on which the pnssage was written nnd announced that it was contuined in nn inivnlnm inclosed within n second envelope. Sir Oliver consented thnt the envelope should bo opened. It was found that the written passage was something en tirely different. Yet it must be admit ted that many members of the lVychical Research booiety are convinced that authentic messages have been received from Myers. James II. II slop, formerly professor of logic and ethics in Columbia Uni versity, is one of those who nre so thor oughly convinced thnt the chnsm be tween the living nnd the dend has been bridged that he is intolerant of any one who elouots. in "Life After Denth," he writes: "I regard the existence of discainate spirits as scientifically proved nnd I no longer refer to the skeptic as having any right to speak on the sub ject. Any man who does not accept the existence of disenrnate spirits and the proof of it is either ignorant or n moral coward." His book, "Life After Death," is a study of the problem of future life from various angles. He summarizes thc primitive conceptions, the (Ji ceo-Roman Ideas, nnd the ideas of civilized nations, and has much to say ou the relation of Christianity tn ps) ducal research, and on the processes of communication and the nature of the future life. W. J. Crawford, lecturer in meehnni cal engineering in the Municipal Tech nical Institute of Belfast, is not so dog matic as Doctor IIjslop. In "Hints nnd Observations for Those Investigat ing tlie Phenomena of Spiritualism," h says: "Thc survival of man is not scientifically proved. It cannot be dem onstrated with instrumental accurac " let lie is personally convinced thnt there is communication between the dead and the living. He has conducted a long series of scientific experiments into the mechanics of levitation and into thc nature 'of spirit rapplngs, which he reported In a volume published a jear or more ago. This new volume Is a supplement to the earlier one. And a third volume by him, "Experiments in Psychical Science," is devoted to fur ther reports on the results of his in vestigations. He finds that spirit rap plngs nre produced by a clammy, vapor ous wand, capable of producing nn Im pression in soft putty that looks like the Impression of the ball of tho foot. The inquiring student can find no bet ter summary of the whole subject than Is contained in J. Arthur Hill's "Spir itualism, Its History, Phenomena and Doctrine." Mr. Hill is a spiritualist, In but he Is much more tolerant than Doc tor IJyslop. He refused to accept as lt'& K?'$"s ?k&iIH ' JAMES II. 1IYSLOP Who says fliat nny one who does not ncccpt the proof of dlscarnato spirits Is cither Ignorant or a moral coword valid evidence much that Hyslop swal lows whole.

JOHN GALSWORTHY'S PATHETIC HEROINE A Most Lovable Girl Who Gets Tangled in the Web of Life John Oalsworthy's latest novel, "Saint's Progress," is a study of the relation of a devout clergyman of the Church of Kngland to thc life nbout him, particularly to thc problems of his own family. When thc story opens his wife had been dend fifteen or sixteen years, and he hnd been true to her memory. Ho has two daughters, onc twenty years old and married to a physician, nnd one eighteen In love with n young soldier. The younger daughter, Noel, wants to marry tho soldier, but her father objects on the ground that she has not known him long enough. Rut the wnr Is on and young men arc being killed by the thousand. On thc eve of the soldier's departure for France, the girl, Impelled by her love and by the instincts of youth mndc irre sistible by the feat that it is now or never, becomes the young man's wife in everything hut name. In the course of time her child Is born nnd the father, grieved by his daughter's sin, insists thnt tho only way out is for her to fnee tho world and sulTer for the conse quences of her net. nis church is no more understanding nnd no more tolerant than ho nnd ns n result he is forced to resign. He nccepts n chap laincy In tho army and goes to Egypt. The girl reminds him that he made his first mistake when he refused to let her mnrry the jouth, and she tells him that she would like to take God by the hand nnd lead Him nbout the world nnd show Him some things that He docs not know. The father Is shocked and grieved, but he does not understand the point of view of the girl, Xocl is one of the most lovable char acters that Mr. Galsworthy has created. She moves the reader to thc tendcicst pity nnd compassion thnt so pure nnd beautiful a creature should be entangled in the web of life. And the saint, the father, tjplcal of the clergyman who lives ln the church nnd is unable to comprehend life, Is nlso a pathetic figure. The story is told with a giasp of thc big human questions at stake and with a sjmpathetic insight into the motives which nre behind conduct. It is a great novel, even though it is a depressing one.

In a way, Mr. Wilson is the hero of this unusual book, whose narrative revolves in the mellowl and tobacco-laden setting of a second-hand bookshop in Brook lyn. And we think that thej President will be agreeably amused by the tale, and by Roger j Mifflin's description of him as the statesman who had no axe to grind only a pax to grind. THE HAUNTED BOOKSHOP !
