PLAN FOR GETTING WATER OUT
OF DEEP MINES.
Hns Been Successfully Tested by the
Philadelphia nnd Reading Coal
nnd Iron Company Rumor of the
Lease of the Lehigh Coal and Navi
gation Company to the Central
Railroad of New Jeisey Make-up
of the D., L. & W. Board for To
dayMeeting of Light Trust.
The Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Iron company, which has many
mints of considerable depth, Is sols
ins a number of problems connected
with deep mining In n way which hat
not lessened the cost of this mining,
..... i a u.1 I... hncl
says tlic riuiaucipnia. jiccuru, "" "
relieved the opeiations of threaten nl
d.insor. The credit for this Is duo
largely to Roland G. Luther, the gen
eral superintendent of the company,
and the mombcm of the corps of min
ing' engine"! h under him.
One of the gi 01 lest drawbacks of
drp mining hns been the water To
pjnip this fiom pome of the com
pany's mines has necessitated the
pumping of It In some Instances tw.i
or tin eo limes before It finally reaches
the surtaee. The duplications of
pumps have been found not only to be
objectionable on account of the escap
ing steam, otten to the detriment of
the mine timber, .-specially near the
pumps-, but the Hun of repairs and
maintenance of thee pumps has been
hcaw. All thi Is being inpldly over
come by means oC water shafts, wheic
by the water Is lifted or hoisted from
the bottom of the shaft direct to the
surface. These shafts have been in
Uoduced at the Ollbeiton. Ullengowen,
Mnple Hill. Silver CieeU, Wadesvllle
and Henry Clay mines, and not only
have great economies been effected,
but the mines have been hept clear of
water under the most trying circum
stances Annthci dllliculty that Is being ovei
come by Mr. Luther and his assistants,
and one always fraught with danger.
Is the dealing of the mines of deadly
aporous gases. This Is accomplished
by mean' of holes drilled from the
surface. Th engineers locate a point
in some high In east or on the saddle
of a n, and fiom a spot on the
surface dliectly ovei this holes aie
drilled. To these holes are attached
high standplpes. and tilt airways In
the breest an I openings aie extended
to the di 111 holes. The entile system
of ventilation Is then levcised, and the
Immerse fans at the collieries are used
to forie iiiU air Into the mines In
stead of drawing out the foul air.
The gesos are thus forced outward
through the dilll holes nnd standplpes.
Some Idp'i of lh" amount of gas forced
out of th" mints by this pmress can
be had finm the fact that gases, upon
being lighted as tlu-y escape from the
pipes nt on" of the mints, shot a llame
Into the -U- fully "0 feet high.
The utile InH of the company still
(onslc'ei this means of dealing the
mines i.f p,.ihe. as 1 dug In 11 n exieii
mental stage, but th sstem Is being
gradually extended. Indicating a thor
ough conlldenie on thlr part In the
success of the plan. It ih not Impiob
able tint these mine gases, which hae
heietnffire been a menace to both life
and piop'ily, m.iv be conveitrd to
profitable use at "onie fuluic day for
Illuminating purpc ses about the vail
ous cnllle'ies and lowns in the ant'ua
ille eginn. It Is known that some ot
the, ofl'tlHls of the company enteitaln
this Idea, hut what their plans aie for
developing the piatticablllty of su'h
n scheme, If they have any, have not
yet net n dlvulgoJ

Is peculiar. He cannot leave 'oft re
i;urdlng It from the outBlde; he cannot
enter the temple and be lcnlly one of
the worshlppcts. Oicat numbers of
iducated .Japanese buy Christian
books and rend them, but It Is ulwas
In order to harden thclt character and
discipline their minds to jjlvo them
something of that Htubborn resolution
of Kruger nnd Ciomoll, which sent
the Pllfcrlin Knihois to tin. shores of
the New Wot Id, but never to make
them repent for their sins repent for
their slnslThc Idcn of the thing would
mako them laugh ns It would have
made TTndltic, the ihdgolst, laugh be
fore she got n soul. Putting the Japs
down as Kidgeists would explain so
much the fascination they exercise
over one at first, the strnnge way In
which that Influence ceases to act ns
one becomes better acquainted with
them and measuies the true depth or
want of depth of their character: their
gteat smartness In picking up lan
guages, and In adopting Inventions,
patents and systems Invented by for
eign brains, and their Inability to In
vent for themselves.
The people seem to be ashumtd In
fnct to have borrowed so much, and
they are sternly drawing the line at
lellglou In consequence, because, fur
thermore, they do not see any prac
tical use In it, nnd because, as lt"s the
only thing that the Westerner presses
on them gratis, they think that It
must be u suspicious Kind ot merchan
dise. Nothing Is commoner than to
hear the natle pastor announce with
pride that It Japan ever does consent
to accept Clulstlanlty, ohe will do so
on her own terms, meaning that she
will first cut and ulter It until It Is
completely Nlponlzed. Many of the
Protestant missions have allowed these
liberties to be taken The Japanese
who .speak In this manner aie gener
ally Christians, and Clulstlani form,
of com so, only a very small section of
the community. The great body ot
non-Chrlstlnn Japanese, or rather
their leadeis, seem disposed to draw
up a code of moialr. for themselves and
to make it servo the pui posts of a ic
llglon. It is not nt all Impossible In
deed that by and by a commission of
philosophers may be sent to Europe
nnd America by the government of the
Mikado to select what is best from
each of the numerous churches In theso
countries and nftcrward to put to
gether a religion nut of the odds and
ends they have In ought together, an
the Japanese military authorities
lormed the national aim; by taking
hints from the armies ot nlmost all of
the great poucis. "Do you see these

Mt. Pleasant Employes.
The situation at the Mt. Pleasant
collleiy Is still unchanged, but It Is
understood that an effort w III be made
to lesume work In the Dunmore vein
today. The local miners' union, which
Is composed almost entirely of Mt.
Pleasant employes, held a seciet me"t-
lng Tuesday evening and decided to
lemain fhm to their oilglnal demand.
The company's representatives lriva
made an effort to secure new men to
take the strikers' places, and hao
piomlsed them protection, but the mln
eih have also been active In warning
otheis fiom accepting the comp'Miy'a
offer. They have made a requi t
through the district oiganlzers that
all mine workeis remain away until
the trouble Is settled.
Xo violence whatever has been al
tered thus far and one would hardly
know that a stiike was on but fjr the
fact that the men may be found occa
sionally In groups discussing the out
look. Several have secured employ
ment In other places and have taken
their tools out of the mine.
During the enforced Idleness the
company lias had men at work mak
ing needed icpalrs and ictlmbeiing the
shaft.

There are 1,000 yards of good Taffeta Silks, 19 inches wide, mostly solid colors and about twenty
