Prices Boosted at Minex. The larger coal companies, as a re- | sult of the higher wages to mine workers, Increased prices at the mine | on broken, egg, stove and chestnut| coal 75 to 80 pents and the prices of Dea conl from 25 to 75 cents 4 ton. In most cases (he prices of steam coal. { consisting of smal sizes, known as| steam coal, were unchanged. i This stoam coul comes into direct competition wigh bituminous coal. ‘whereas the market for the domestic or larger sizes is not menaced by this competition Gov Pinchot, at, the time of the settlement, said that ! the higher wages would warrant an i increase of 60 cents a ton at the mine. ! + The increase of 75 cents a ton is explained by the fact that the domes- slzes were selected by the op | erator to carry the load for the entire tonnage, including the steam sizes.

In New York city Frank Burns, of Buras Brother: one of the largest distributor: today uoted broken, gg. stove and nut sizes at $14.25 a ton, an Increase of 75 cents over the prices prevailing before the set- tlement Mr. Burns asserted he had been unable to run down any cases of “gouging.” although, he added. it! ‘vas possible some of the small neigh- borhood dealers micht try to jump | the price in cold weather. He de- \ clared that such attempts would be unwarranted, as there would be no shortage this winter. “We are expecting to have to send out our salesmen to get business this fall for the first time in five vears,” he concluded.

LONDON, October 10.—Currency in- | flation as a means of reviving Great Britaln's sagging trade and of reduc- | fng unemployment now is being wide- | 1y discussed. One proposal involving | the sum of §100,000,000 was, said by | Minister of Labor Barlow in a speech ( vesterday to have been put forward | by no less an authority than Fred- ! erick Goodenough, chairman of Bar. clay's bank. Mr. Barlow said that such a scheme ,was worth consideration, but that neither himself nor the government was responsible for'it. A number of pians, he added, have been considered and “developments are in sight.” The minister expressed a hope that either Prime Minister Baldwin or himself would soon he able to make an an- | nouncement on the subject. { Mr. Barlaw, however, was appar- | ently mistaken as to the authorship of the big inflation proposal, as the Daily Express quotes Mr. Goodenough s saying: T pever sugested anything of the | kind." The vice chairman of Bar-| clay's also disavowed Knowledge of | ihe suggestion. The real author, ac- rording to the newspaper, is Com- | mander Charles D.

The planf in which their beverages have been produced is being dis- jyontied and will soon be converted 5 the making of other.Beech Nut grocery specialties, For thirty-cight years the Clicquot Club Company has been manufactur- ing beverages. | however, o | For twenty years before that {in its life history; | : | days or weeks after their sudden ap- pearance. g This interesting subject. which has been given the name RT Serpentls, was originally_discovered by an as- tronomer at Heidenberg, and later quite independently at the Yerkes Observatory in Wisconsin. It was, record earlier, for a sub- sequent examination of the store of celestial photographs at Harvard showed the star coming out of dark- ness nearly a year before its dis- covery by the German time the Harvard plates give no trace of it. RT Serpentis was first classed &s one of the Novae, or ‘new” atars, and it also was expected to fade away. as all of them have done in the past. But this object proved to be an: ex- ceptional phenomenon. It has now maintained at the tenth magnitude for thirteen years, Measures of the parallax show ihat its distance is about 1,000 light years. Scientists have plained satisfactorily behavior of RT Serpentls. Three pos- sible interpretations, however, have en suggested by Dr. Harlow Shap- ley. director of the observatory. Could this actually be a new star evolving from a non-luminous and nebulous beginning? A star birth has indeed never been witnessed, and it is not known in what manner stars first become luminous. RT Serpentis already shows signs in its spectrum the singular which Indicate that it is well along | but perhaps for stars of certain size” some of the early eovolutionary stages are lived through with great rapidity, and thie star's birth was actually witnessed in_i909. “'The second suggestion fs that RT Serpentis is only a variable star of jarge range in brightness, with a very long interval of time between successive apppearances. This ex- planation would require that sooner or later. the star will again decrease in Dbrightness, possivly to return to its present magnitude in some other eneration. The third suggestion proposed, and the one that Dr, Shapley thinks most probable, is that RT Serpentis.is an ordinary unvarying star that has re- cently emerged from behind. some obscuring cloud of cosmic dust. Many daric nebuious clouds are known ta exist in the Milky Way, some of them at no great angular distance from RT Serpentis. Photographs of the re- gion have been made, and all the stars nearby have been catajogued. 1t at some future time another star in this region should come or_ go. the cxistence of an obscuring cloud may be accepted as very probable. astronomer. | its maximum brightness | not vet ex- | stwelve billlons of dollare invested in tax-exempt bonds, exclusive of such United States issues as are partly exempt.
