IUUHINES NOW DIGGING COAL

Inventions Have Wrought GreatChanges in the Methods of Bringing

"Black Diamonds'' to Surface.

With the rapid development of la-bor-suving methods, Hie coal miner, according to Popular Meehunicti Maga-zine, is being transformed into a keen-eyed operator of a powerful machinewhich hot only mines find load* thecoal, but does ii in » mifer and moreeconomical manner; saier. because thecoal is broken down without the use01 explosives which tend vi shatter theroof and make it dangerous"; andmore economical, because i! producesmore lump coal and fewer tines, anddoes ii more, rapidly*

One machine develop' <] fur thiswork consists of an undercuttingframe with Hitter chain and a shewInn frame, on each aide of the machine!In the uiidereuttini; rrnine I* a con-veyor. There is provided a powerfulraw which break* down the coal ontothe conveyor. This rani 11111 lie di-rected hi anj height of the \u25a0 ixil face.

NEW YORKERS" LATEST SLANGWord "Quaint" Has Found Much

Favor Among Those Who AffectThe Artistic Life.

"(Juaint" is the latest word of theworld that must have « new and un-common adjective. It has quite out-moded "amusing" In the slang of the\u25a0tudlos and among those who affect theartistic in,.. The dictionary meaningnt the word —"combining an antiqueappearance with a pleasing oddity,funcifulness, or whlraslcalness"— hasbeen quite submerged In the pangingcraze for its use. When the governor'sdaughter in "The Tavern" said to thevagabond, "You are the quaintest man1 ever knew" she did not really meanwhat the dictionary says the wordmeans. She was admiring his powersof deduction. But the "latest" wordhad been worked Into the speech andthat was the desired thing. The tonealways used in connection with"quaint" is patronizing, whether it isapplied to a human being, a picture,or what not. The user Invariablytries to give the impression that theobject thus passed upon could havebeen done ever so much better If he,or she, had had a hrtnd in making it.To be "quaint" nowadays is to beever so slightly damned.—New YorkHerald.

Human Factor Count*.Lord Teignrooutb, In a letter t<» the

; London Times, writes: "In the contro-versy between the advocates of nai-tle or surface ships and admirers ofthe submarine, one factor, and that «very important one, lias been altogeth-er Ignored namely, the human fac

: tor. Ships ate built to carry humanbeings; and, as fur as present statis-tics enable one to judge, no submersi-ble vessel has yet been constructedIn which men can live for more thana few weeks, continuously, withoutdeteriorating. mentally and physi-cally, owing to the abnormal condi-tions prevailing on board. Man is anudaptable creature, and possibly, Inthe course of a century or so, a raceof human beings may be evolvedwhich can exist, comfortably, with-

: out fresh air, exercise of change ofscene. In the meantime, surface«f>hips

: will be voted the most habitable Doc-) tor Johnson must surely have had a' U-boat in mind when he declared that

'being In h ship is being in jail, withthe chance of being drowned.'"

Fur Industry.

Up to within v century of the pr**-ent time, raw furs were one of themot) Important products of thii coun-try, commercially speaking. Immensequantities of them were exported toEurope, where they were dressed, dyedunti manufactured Into garments.

This nutural resource has heenlargely destroyed by the killing off ofour fur-bearing animals. At the pres-ent time we are largely dependentupon foreign countries for supplies of

in tier ecstasy Celia did not noticehis consternation, and with effort onJack's part they spent a gay eveningas befitted the occasion,

Mr. Falrfleld nodded cheerfully as jhe passed Jack's desk In the outer of-flee next morning. "Come inside in Iabout half an hour, will you?"

The hands of the office clock pointed |to !»:.'(u as Jack lagging!) compiledwith the request.

"Well, Leonard, I congratulate !you!" Mr. Fairfleld rose and graspedJack's hand. "Sit down now and we'lltalk the thing over a bit."

In a daze Jack did as he was bid. \u25a0

"Now. young man"—Mr. Falrfleld's jvoice took on a confidential tone—"l'm Igoing to be frank with you. Of course jyou know that I've been considering Iyou and Manly both for general mana- :ger of the sales department. I don't |mind telling you that the odds were :mostly in Munly's favor. You are abit young, you know, and somewhat :

lacking in experience. However—" a |whimsical expression passed over his 1face—"I've had orders from higher up. !Boy. that little hunch of. wood ane-mones turned the trick. 1 found Bessiecrying over them when I got homelast night"— there was a suspiciousmoisture in his own eyes—"youcouldn't know, but they were her fa- jvorite flower when we—oh, nevermind.

"The upshot of It is this: She in-sists that a man of such keen percep- |tions and thoughtfulness Is just the jmaD for that vacant position. Andanother thing. Your wife made a greathit with her. Shake again, boy, I con- ]

In a daze Jack left the office."The exchange value of anemones

OBSERVE EQUALITY IN RINGS

Up-to-Date Custom It for Bride to 'Equip Man of Her Choice With

Wedding Symbol. :

Custom has decreed that when aman receives from the woman heloves a promise that she will be hiswife lie should forthwith buy her arinj:. It Is an excellent custom, uc-cordlng to"the jeweler.

Most ancient and modern lovershave observed It. but modern loversare going one better, Instead of onering, two are bought, and they arenot both for the lady. Jack and ,1111

together wear the sign of their en-gagement.

Equality of sex in voting and Inthe eyes of the law li responsible forthis new Idea, according to the Louis-ville Courier-Journal. For, mark you,two pockets bear the strain. No mod-ern, Keif-respecting .Till would allowher Jack to cater for his own finger.

And when the plain gold circlet fol-lows, again ring equality is carriedout.

It Is no new custom for men towear wedding rings. They have doneso for ages. But it Is a new Idea thaithey should not have to pay for them.The up-to-date bride insists on doingher share, and buys the ring for hergroom, while he purchases the sign ofher new estate.

Irish Landlords Get Out.Lord Gough, like many another Irish

landowner, is leaving his home in theold country. Lough Curta castle inCounty Galway has lately been dis-mantled and Its fine old contents dis-posed of.

The castle, which stands overlook-ing the Lough, Is wonderfully pictur-esque. It was built for Lord (Jort byNash himself at a cost of $40,000 andwas purchased by the Goughs afterthe Irish famine of 1847, when the vis-count of his day ruined himself inthe endeavor to feed his starving ten-antry. The present home of the (lortsin the isle <>( Wight, East Cowes cas-tle, was built by Nash, who designedit for his own occupation.

Another valuable property to go isSir Hew Hamilton Dalrymple's roman-tic home, Luchie, on the ruins of Tan-tallon castle, which figures In "Mar-inlon." The property, with a fine acre-age, Includes the greater part of NorthBerwick, sir Hew, it is good to hear,is at leant not telling The Buss. Rockin the Firth of Forth, which is his.—London Mall.

Products of India.The principal agricultural product*

of India include wheat, rice, oil seeds,cotton, Jute, sugar, tobacco and tea.In British India (in 1919-1920), 265,---000,000 acres had crop* growing onthem, about 31 per cent being ricecrops; 9 per cent wheat; 38 per centother pulse and food grains; 7 percent cotton, Jute and other fibers, and

"> per cent oil seeds. Jute cultivationhas been very profitable. The mineralproducts, besides Dies, rubies andjade, include Halt, the production ofwhich is about 1,891,000 tons. In 1919the output of coal in India was 22,628,---000 tons, nine-tenths of it coining fromBengal, Oris.-it and Bihar; crude pe-troleum (chiefly from Burma), 308,000,---000 gallons; manganese ore, about538,000 tons; saltpeter, 18,000 tons;wolfram, 8.577 tons; monazite, 2,024tons, and gold, which is nearly all fromMysore, about 507,000 ounces.
