Of 9,600,00 telephones In the world 7,000,000 are In America, 2,000,000 in Europe and the other 600,000 scatter ed over the remainder of the planet's surface. Commenting on these re cent estimates and their probable correctness, the National Telephone Journal of London says: "The reason why Europe cuts bo poor a figure in comparison with America is that four or five of the most civilised and populous countries are extraordinarily backward in tele phone development. France, Austria, Hungary, Belgium, Holland and Italy in the first four of which the tele phone is entirely In the hands of the government may be Instanced. In the whole of Prance there are less than 200,000 stations, and in Austria and Hungary combined there are actually fewer telephones Than In the City of Chicago. "Ancient cities of universal renown, counting 400,000 or 600,000 inhabit ants, and moreover of greater com mercial Importance, such as Lyons, Marseilles, Naples, Antwerp and Prague, are far behind American towns with 60,000 to 100,000 Inhabit ants, such as Peoria, St Joseph, Day ton ana Norfolk, Va., which few Eu ropeans have ever heard of; while Vienna, with a population of nearly .2,000,000, has not so many stations as San FranciBco, with 350,000 soulB. If the countries of central and west ern Europe were as well developed telephonlcally as even Great Britain and Germany, to say nothing of Scan dinavia, the comparison with Amer ica would be vastly more flattering." Fact and Fun. Samples of air at a height of nearly nine miles have been recently obtain ed and examined for the presence of the rare gases. The collecting appa ratus, carried by a large balloon, is a series of vacuum tubes, each drawn out to a fine point at one -end. At the desired height an electro-magnetic device, connected with each tube and operated by a barometer, breaks off the point of the tube, admitting the air. A few minutes later, a second contact sends a current through a platinum wire around the broken end, melting the glass and sealing the tube. All the samples obtained show argon and neon, but no helium was found In air from above six miles. CAREFUL DOCTOR Prescribed Change of Food Instead of Drugs. It takes considerable courage for a doctor to deliberately prescribe only food for a despairing patient. Instead of resorting to the usual list of medi cines. There are some truly scientific phy sicians among the present generation who recognize and treat conditions as they are and should be treated re gardless of the value to their pockets. Here's an Instance: "Four years ago I was taken with severe gastritis and nothing would stay on my stomach, so that I was on the verge of starvation. "I heard of a doctor who had a summer cottage near me a specialist from N Y., and as a last hope, sent for him. "After he examined me carefully he advised me to try a small quantity of Grape-Nuts at first, then as my stomach became stronger to eat more. ' "I kept ft It and gradually got so I could eat and digest three teaspoon fuls. Then 1 begsn to have color In my face, memory became clear, where before everything seemed a blank, kfy limbs got stronger and I could walk. So I steadily recovered. "Now after a year on Grape-Nuts I weigh 153 lbs. My people were surprised at the way I grew fleshy and strong on this fond." Read the little book, "The Road to Wellviile," In pltgs.

LABOR NOTES At Washington, Pa., Andrew Zemas and Dominie GIUls were convicted of violating the state mining laws. Each was sent to Jail for sixty days and fined $100. They were accused of having an exposed light In a part of a mine where only locked safety lamps were permitted. Reports from the Somerset-Myers-dale, Fairmont, Ohio No. 8 and the Cumberland fields Indicate that the mines there are running to about ninety par cent capacity, with an ur gent demand for both cars and men. In the central Pennsylvania district the mines are working fairly well, de spite a disposition to curtail produc tion, owing to the wage scale squab ble. William Little has entered the lists as a candidate for president of Dis trict No. 5, United .Alne Workers, against Francis Feehan.

The new West Wayneshurg tin mills. It is said, w.111 begin operations about the 15th of November, In full blast, with not less than 150 work men employed. Already orders for new tin are being received, so we are Informed. Connellsville Courier. The Greer tin plant of the Ameri can Sheet and Tin Plate Company, at new Castle, has resumed operations and Is on in full for the first time since the strike of the tin workers last July. At the 8herrango mill 21 of the 30 hot mills are working and several others will soon be started. The United States Steel Corpora tion recently paid to the Hammond Coal Company $2,000,000 for coal mines and coal lands In the Danville, 111., district. The Hammond proper ties Include the Kelly mines at Dan ville. These were sold for $1,550,000 and the remaining $500,000 was paid for coal landB In the same district The total land transferred is 27,000 acres. In addition to this the steel people have obtained 10,000 acres from other owners. The Bessemer department of the Homestead steel workB was put In op eration Monday for the first time since it closed several years ago. Four hundred men were given employ ment.

The Jones & Laughlin Steel Com pany is now refusing ail orders at Its plants owing to the demand for Its products being greatly In excess of the possible supply. Many orders have' been placed for future delivery and until the company Is able to catch up with Its orders all new work will be refused. Announcement was made Monday that the company had let a contract for the erection of a wharf and ice breakers at Altqulppa to the Enter prise Contracting Company of1 Pitts burg to cost about $25,000. The work is to be completed within 100 days and will afford facilities for extensive shipments by water. The Pittsburg & Lake Erie Railroad has agreed to build a subway under its tracks at the Allquippa station to run Into the Jones & Laughlin plant. Thomas Lynch, president of the H. C. Frick Coke Company, will neither deny nor affirm the report that the Frick coke interests have definitely decided to make a general advance in Connellsville coke wages January 1, 1910, and that the official announce ment will be made on Christmas day. The Frick company has invariably led In thangea in the wage scale, which Is natural, on account of its controlling more than half the total operations in the Connellsville and Lower Connellsville regions. An advance has certainly been Indi cated by conditions. Coka is now scarcer than ever and men are in ur gent demand. If wages are advanced : the change will probably be to restore j the 1907 scale. The entire scale covers many Jobs, but the base of the i scale Is the rate, per 100 bushels, for mining and loading room and rib coal. The dates of the past five scales, with the mining rate, have been as fol lows: March 1, 1900, $1.25; January 1, 1903, $1.10; March 1, 1905, $1.20; March 1, 1907, $1.35; January 1, 1908, $1.20. Homer B. Keller, a former tin 1 worker of New Castle, was killed by the cars in Pittsburg last Thursday night. The deceased, who was quite well known In New Castle, was run down and killed by -a train on the Pittsburg & Lake Brie Railroad, his remains being found about 9 o'clock : at nlghi and removed to the Pittsburg morgue, where a letter signed Sarah, i 735 Morris street, New Castle, Pa., I was found on his parson. As there I was no other means of Identification I the Pittsburg authorities communicat-' ed with Chief of Police Gilmore of ! New Caetle, in order to locate the relative of the deceased. The Sarah referred to was Miss Sarah Jcnes. She gave all the Information she could to the officers, Mr. Keller having been employed In this city ever since the strike in the tin mills. He has a brother living here. Mr. Keller had not worked in New Castle for about four years. It was while here that he met Miss Jones and after he left New Castle they continued to correspond. After re signing his position ' New Castle, Mr. Keller secured a much better one at South Sharon. He had worked ati that place until the tin mill strike in July, when he came to Pittsburg, i QUAINT AND CURIOUS. Tbc wasp can out Its way through a seashell.

A conductor and a brakeman on a Montana railroad differ as to the prop er pronunciation of the name Eurelia.

You really are!" By Hugh S. Fullerton. Nearly every baseball game Is won and lost on one play, a play that comes at the psychological Instant. Among the players, who do not stuly psy chology, the crucial moment Ib known as "the break," a phenomenon which not one has analyzed and which the players themselves do not understand. Twenty men on the beach are watch ing closely and Intently every move of the pitcher, every swing of his arm. The tide of battle rises, ebbs and then suddenly at the start of some Inning something happens, says Hugh S. Ful lerton In the American Mngazlne. What It is no one outside the psychic sphere of Influence will understand, but the silent, tight-lipped, watchful alert fellows on the bench see something or feel something and the mysterious "break", has come. Baseball Is almost as much psycho logical as athletic. Why one team can beat a stronger one regularly; and lose to a weaker with the same regular ity; why one batter can hit one pitch er and Is ' helpless before another; why one pitcher Is effective against a strong team and at the mercy of an other that cannot bat half as hard, are psychological problems. An English Opinion! The two motives which can most deeply .move the Irish party are. faith and whiskey, but of late the whiskey has been getting far ahead of the oth er inspiration. They can support the budget and even keep quiet about the faith until the bottle is touched; then they stand up for the cause of Ire land like one man; and the govern ment teetotallers give way to them In various Important concessions, In cluding a reduction in favor of "small breweries." In return for the Welsh teetotallers' generosity to the Irish bottle the Irishmen help them to har ass the owners of property In Great Britain. No doubt, the poorer a com munity the smaller ought to be the initfol quantity that can be sold under a license; but what appeals to the professional patriots In Parliament Is that the? cannot hold their seats and neglect the bottle. Let them differ from the publican and the priest, and there Is an end of the Irish Parlia mentary party. Saturday Review.

Illinois Blaming the Newspapers. The habit of shifting the burden of any Indiscretion or extravagance on the part of a man of standing to the shoulders of the newspapers Is a very general one; and an old feature of it is that those who do so are uncon sciously committing the very fault for which they chiefly blnme the papers setting down as a fact what they have not taken the trouble to ver ify as true. Cases have not been unknown In which an indiscreet utter ance ascribed to a man of eminence has been positively acknowledged by blm as authentic, and yet bis admirers or defenders have persisted In point ing to It as a glaring instance of newspaper fabrication. There Is quite as much looseness In people's talk about newspapers as there is in the newspapers' talk about people New York Evening Post. The Limit of Efficiency.
