TO RESCUE MINERS GOVERNMENT WILL ESTABLISH EDUCATIONAL STATIONS. In the Coal Folds Whore the Most Ap proved Methods of Rescue In Mine Disasters Will Be Taught. Washington. Carrying out its ef forts to reduce tho number of fatalities In coal mines, tho United States geo logical survey Ib about to establish rescue stations in tho principal coal fields of tho country, In addition to the experiment station now located at Pittsburg. The now station will bo at or near tho greatest centers of accidents, and It will be tho purposo of tho experts to teach the miners and mine bosses how to use tho most approved appara tus for mlno rescue work. Government mining engineers thor oughly trained In the use of rescue apparatus will bo assigned these sta tions, and they will bo ready at a moment's notice to go to nny distance In the district. Tho experts will be equipped with oxygen helmets,, which will enable them to enter a mlno at. once, even though It Is filled with gas or smoke. These stations nlso will bo head quarters for tho engineers for tho Btudy of tho waste of coal In mining, 0110 of tho Important problems before the geological survey. It Is tho Intention to have cvory station fitted up with an air tight room, where gas can bo generated. The coal mining companies are to bo invited to send picked men to theso stations, whore they will bo trained by the government experts In tho uso of tho oxygen helmets. It Is not tho purposo of tho government to engage In general rescue work, but rather to demonstrate this apparatus until such time as tho mlno owncrB have thor oughly trained rescue crews at their mines. Ono of tho rescuo stations will bo at Urbana, 111., In connection with the University of Illinois. A Becond station will bo located probably at Ra . ton, N. M. Ono plan Is to locato a stntlon at KnoxvIUc, Tonn., In connection with Finds Key to Inscription Dr. Hempl Will Throw New Light on History of Rome. Stanford University, Cal. A discov ery which will have Important results In tho world of science has been made public by Prof. George Hempl, Stan ford's professor of philology. Accord ing to statements mado by him, ho has discovered tho key to nnclont Inscrip tions on Etruscan tombs nnd columns, so long a mystery to nrchaoologlstH. Tho professor has become widely known by solving tho Inscriptions on German runes. Prof. Hompl declared thnt his find will have far-reaching results upon nnclent Italian history and upon tho disputed facts of Latin grnmmar and etymology. But CO Inscriptions out of a mass of 8,000 havo thus far been do ' ciphered by him, but tho translation of theso, ho says, has been enough to show that tho history of Italy ns writ ten at present must bo greatly modi fied when his work Is completed. Tho popular theory that tho Etruscans nnd Romana were entlroly different peoples Is entirely exploded by this discovery, declared Prof. Hempl. As made clear by him, tho langungo of these neighboring nations was altko In nil Important respects, savo its writing, nnd tho conclusion, ho de clares, Ib that tho nation sprang from tho same race. Dr. Hempl showed that the Etruscans wero the outgrowth of tho Trojans after tho fall of Troy ffi 12! famouB Civil war general.

George Rice, mining engineer, will have chargo of all mining Inquiries at tho station, and .1. W. Paul, former state mlno Inspector of West Virginia, will havo supervisory chargo of all rescuo work. At theso stations not only will op portunity bo given the miners to be come familiar with tho rescue ap paratus, but safety lamps of all de signs will bo tested for their general safety and efficiency In tho presenco of tho miners and tho mine owners. DIDN'T WANT HIS ARMS. Poorhouce Inmate Found Their Ab sence Relieved Him of Want. St. Paul, Minn. An aversion to work Is bollevod to bo the reason for John Anderson, a cripple, not calling for a pair of arms that had noon mado to order for him by tho St. Paul Artificial Limb Company, of which John Mc Gulro Is manager. Beforo tho new arms thought of sprouting for John Anderson's shoul ders, he w.ib it resident of Marshall, Lyon county. Although harmless, ho wns a cumbersome chargo and tho county commissioners decided to pay John's expenses to St. Paul and buy him n pair of arms which would ena- bio him, by Industry, to pay a portion of his keep. John thought he could ac complish more without arms than with them. Tho order was given to tho St. Paul company for ono pair of tho best arms,- ' ,L.i wiv ti, n of f Mill UlllVvl4 ' w u ussaa vias v tu J w Paul, was met at the depot by Mr. Mc- Gulre, and taken to Bethcsda hospital, becauso It was found awkward to food him In tho hotels. John called onco at tho company's place at 27 East Sev enth street for a "try-on," and then disappeared. Mr. McGuIro has tho arms and he expects that ho will hnvo tho money, but professional pride demands tho pa tient. They say that John has gono to n far country, or olso back to Mar shall, without tho working implements, In tho hopo that people will again lis ten to hlB talo of woo. Thus, In an Indirect manner, tho story of Virgil's "Aonold" receives scientific corroboration. Dr. Jordan, president of Stanford university,, said: "Dr. Hempl hns mado n most Impor tant discovery, Tho deciphering of theso EtniRcnn Inscriptions overturns the populnr Idea that thoro Is no con nectlon between tho RomanB and tho Etruscnns. Dr. Hempl, with his key to Etruscnn inscriptions, will make enor mous clmnges in our vlows of tho an cient history of Rome and Greece." Had His Coffin Twenty Years. North Kingston, R. I. Paul S.

No undertaker will attend his fu neral, In accordanco with his wishes, and tho servlca will bo private Mr. Hendricks was born In this town, and had been a thrifty farmer throughout his life, acquiring a com petency. Ills wlfo died many years ago and he nt onco mado plans for his own denth and burial, personally supervising tho construction of his coffin. P. P. Nutting, editor of tho Albany (Ore.)

Norwegian Harvest Hand Comes Into Possession of Sweethearts' Letters and Heals a Broken Heart. St: Paul, Minn. At a salo of tin- claimed bnggago held In tho Union depot Herbert Leonard of PJalnflold, Wis., paid $7.B0 for ono lot of llvo buudlos, In oifo of which ho found como old letters, nnd having 110 uso for them throw them away. Adolph Here', a translont, looked upon this careless waste of effects with budding curiosity, pawed hoddlcssly about among tho debris, sorted out a fow letters Idly, porused (hum and. stuck thorn excitedly Into his bosom and made his way rapidly from tho depot to a snloon at Sibley and Rob ert 'streets. Ho ordered a glass of beer for an oxcu3s leaving It un touchedand burlsd himself In reading- tho lcttors ho had found in tho baggage scrap heap. Rcrg aad been a resident of Amor- Ica nearly five years. Ho camo from Norway and engaged In tho restaurant business at MInot, N. D. Ho hud bad luck thero and took a claim near Ills- marck. Ho provod up on this and took n job ns a farm laborer In tho Carrlngton neighborhood. Ills Job on tho Cnrrlngton branch of tho Great Northern nroved a cood ono for a time. Now when Adolph left Norway ho left behind Hilda Aase, with whom ho was deeply In love. While ho wns In America ho promised her ho would send for her nnd they would get mar ried and mnko their homo hero. But l nines did co 00 awry with nil of Adolph'B brnvo plans that ho continu ally declined In fortune until ho got the Job near Carrlngton. So then about a year ago ho sent for Hilda to como In tho spring of this year. Hilda proparcd to do so, but for reasons not disclosed alio did not mako tho trip nnd set tho tlmo off un til July. Meanwhile matters were going bad with Adolph. Tho slump camo during tho winter, lilt labor llko a blast, cheapened It nnd threw those that had any sense of their valuo out of a job. So with Adolph. Meanwhile ho looked for tho com ing of Hilda with renewed fears. Ho feared that tho place he wob able to provldo for her would not meet her expectations In this rich country of America, and wrote her In July not to como until she .should henr from him again. Aftor writing Hilda this ho cocurod a position on a threshing machine crew and worked throughout tho Da- kotas. Ho received tho lcttor from Hilda announcing that she had ctarted, but believed sho had received his own letter boforo starting, telling her not to como, and dismissed tho matter from his mind. So hard havo mattor3 gono slnco that tlmo that Adolph Berg has writ ten no letters to Chrlstlanla to tho woman of his henrt. Llttlo did ho know that Hilda, last July, duly ticketed by the Immigration omcmiB tnat maxo onen trip ensy camo to America nnd North Dakota, looking for her long-lost love. Ho did "l """" , ;. , uuu" ul 11,0 wnlrl of tho busy world about St not know that she had been cuught in Paul nnd tho northwest, nnd, falling to find him, had returned hastily to her native land, doprpssed to tho oblivion of all clso at tho thought of tho possi ble defection and desertion of him who was most dear to her. In tho debris at tho Union station Adolph Rerg found lettors written by his own solf, and they wero In n ploco of baggago that Hilda had onco owned. It did not take Adolph Borg long to find out where tho pnekago camo from and learn or dlvlno tho truo course of his lovo-lorn lady of ChrlBtlanla. Hcrg, who has somo money saved up from his threshing exporlonco, snt down that night In tho dingy room of his rooming house on Robert street and wrote Hilda to como again to America, Inclosing an express ordor to cover tho expense. Hcrbort Leonard, who bought the unclaimed offects which wero forgot ton by Hilda at tho St. Paul baggago station In her sad kntabasls back to Norway, Ib also a thresher, by coin cidence, nnd has boon employed nt Mnxbaas, N.

His homo Is located at Plalnflold, Wis.. whero nro nlso tho other effects 'of Hilda, to which sho has no legal right, but which would probably bo returned upon satisfactory nrrungemont.

The following Interesting bit of In formation appeared In n Montreal paper: "List Dnccmbor, In reviewing tho year 1907, wo had to record n wheat harvest considerably smaller in vol ume than In tho previous year. Against ninety millions In 190G tho wheat crop of the West In 1907 only totnled somo Bovcnty-ono million bushols, and much of this of Inferior quality. But tho price averaged high, nnd tho total re sult to tho farmers wns not unprofit able. This year wo havo to record by far tho largost whoat crop In tho coun try's history. Estimates vary as to tho exact figure, but It Is certainly not less than ono hundred million bushels, and In nil probability It reaches ono hundred nnd ton million bushels. Tho quality, moreover, Is good, nnd tho prlco obtained very high, so tlmtln nil respects tho Western harvest of 1908 has been a memorable ono. The result upon the commerce and linancu of tho country Is already npparent. Tho rallwnys are again reporting In creases In traffic, tho general tnUlo of tho community 1ms become actlvo nfler twelve months' quiet, and tho banks nro loosening their purso string!) to moot tho demand for money.

Largo tracts of now country will be openod up by tho Grnnd Trunk Pacific both In East and West. If tho seauons aro fnvornblo the Western wheat crop should reach ono hundred nnd twenty million bushels. The prospects for next year seem very fair."
