CAPITOL
STATE MINE ACCIDENTS
SHOW BIC DROP FOR 1914
Fatalities Decrease 82 Per Cent. Over
1013—Coal Production Increases
70,121 Tons Per Life Lost Dur
ing Past Tear
A statement issued by the Pennsyl
vania Department of Mines shows a
great decrease in the number of acci
dents in 19-14, a* compared with 1915.
In 1914 there were 413 fatal accidents
in and about the mines and in 1913,
611, showing that the careful and
strict enforcement of the laws of pre
vention by the State inspectors has had
the effect of reducing the accidents 32
per cent.
The aipouut of coal produced during
1914 per fatal accident was 353,207
tons as against 283,086 tons in 1913,
au increase of 70,121 tons per life
lost.
The fatalities per 1,000 employes
in 1914 was 2.10 as agaiust 3.22 in
1913, a reduction of 1.12.
The production in the bitumious re
gion was 145,884,530 tons as against
172,965,659 tons iu 1913, a decrease
of 27,0S 1,129 tons.
The number of employes in 1914 was
195,949. In 1913 the number WHS
189,909, showing an increase of 6,040.
The department is gratified at the re
duction in fatalities, which were less in
number thau in any year since 1897.
The fatalities from falls of coal, slate
and roof amounted to 61.21 per cent#
of the total; by cars, 23.75 per cent.;
by gas, dust and suffocation, 2.11 per
cent.; by electricity, 6.33 per cent.;
by miscellaneous causes, 6.60 per cent.
The accidents from falls and cars
amounted to 84.96 per cent., and any (
reduction in the number .of fatal acci-1
dents to be hoped for in future must
be made by lessening the number from
these two causes. This can only be
accomplished by the ihost stringent I
rules and the enforcement of the great
est discipline by the mine foremen, su
perintendents and inspectors.

W P. King and a daughter, have trav- ,

that vicinity and the child has attend-1
ed the Clap Farm school while the dis-1
ease was in the eruptive state. A gen- j
eral vaccination has been ordered of I
known contacts in Oil City and vicin-1

Speed of Animals
It ig believed that no animal has!
ever exceeded the speed which can bei 1
attained by the horse. Instantaneous I'
photographs of one famous specimen |
showed the full length of a complete .
stride to be about twentj--six feet. The
hare bus not, in reality, the speed of
tho dog. The dog, on the other hand,)
does not attain the speed of the horse. I
The giraffe is said to run at the rate of |
«
3
fifteen yards per second un<|cr the
favorable conditions. The elephant:
going at the rate of two yards a sec*
ond, carries a weight approximating
to that carried by six horses—-St. Louis
Gldbe-Democrat.
focpert botanists have found that the
age of trees ran be tpld by the leaf
markings—the older a tree the smallei
and more numerous its leaf cells.
