The troliey has been put to a new use. Out in Missouri, where there are many coal mines, one of the amusements of people is to ride through the clectric cars. Incandescent lights are strung along the entire distance, the roofs are high and well supported, the air is clean and dry and there is no more cause for ap- prehension than in taking a trolley ride about a large city. Missourians insist that so far as min- ing matters are concerned they are in advance of most of the Eastern States. Five or six yvears ago most of the mines black diamond caves in timbered and shored, with two streaks of rust leading into them and now and then a gaunt mule leading a car out of them. Now there are dozens of mines in the State and a woman in a white Swiss gown could journey through for miles without getting so much as a soot mark on the hem of her garment. Two reasons exist for che change. One is that the State Legislature adopted careful laws governing the op- cration of the mine operators have found it cheap to use electricity. for power in hauling everything. A few use it on the main entries and still use the mules on the cross.and side entries. These 1 principle as the ordinary trolley, with the rod running upon & wire strung along the roof. for carrying coal to the dump each mine has a passenger car in which the men are taken to and from their work and in which excursion:sis are taken through the drifts. Formerly one current of air wai thought ssufficient to maincain life and health. A means was discovered by which the currents could be split and one carried over the other- Now every large mine has from twelve to fifteen currents constantly circulating through it and the air is nearly as pure as on to; l'nvenuon has yet been unable-to find a substitute for the pick and shovel.

Since coming to Los Angeles he has broken the world’'s record for winning ! mounts in any one year. riding in his present indifferent man- ner he is a constant menace to the bet- ing men who cannot play his mounts with an assurance of winning, and yet cannot afford to pass him by on ac- count of what he can =0 when he is right.

It is stated that as a | result of the great current of emig Very much is contained in | constantly increasing. A caleulation | of the number of Italians living in fo; | eign countries was made by the Min- istry of Koreign Affairs in 1881 and 1281, and in 1901 a similar calculation was made by the Commissioner Gen- !eral of Immigration from a study of the last general census of the popula- been {ticr of the kingdom. It has | ascertained that there were Italians living abroad in 1881, 206 in 1891 and 3,439,014 in 1901, Of the latter number 654,000 were scat- tered ' over Europe; 168,000 were in Arrica (Tunis, 83.000; Algeria, 39,000; Egypt, 38,000): 745,000 were in North America, 9,000 in thé United States and 11,000 in Canada), and 1,852,000 | were in South America (618,000 in Argentina and 1,100,000 in Brazil). According to the Italian law the de- parture of Italian emigrants from fo ies Itallan emigrants from Havre to ew York, for the reason that every ar 12,000 to 14,000 emigrants go from Northern Italy to New York, who, paying the same passage money, including railroad fare, save five or six days in the trip to New York by sail- ing from Havre instead of Genoa. In his report the Italian Commi sioner General of Immigration state that emigration is a necessity for Italy, and if it were not for this safety valve, this possibility of finding occu- pation elsewhere, grave disorders would occur against the public peace, for the reason that existing territory and capital in Italy are not sufficient | to give occupation to the mass of the people. There is no doubt, he says, that economic progress is being made in Italy in agricultural as well as in the industries 1 some parts of the , in other parts less. Any one n give good security can always credit. Nevertheless, it is evi- find dent that the supply of hands exceeds the demand. It is necessary that pro- gress along certain mental and moral lines keep pace with increase in capi- tal. in orfer that industrial expan- sion may take place, and since the spirit of enterprise and association, professional insiruction and good faith in commerce cannot easily be spread impromptu, it is sometimes necessary 1) export labor. The Commissioner further states that 1901, to March, 162.000 emigran and South American port paid t ets, that is, ke from friends or relatives abroad. The General’s report from September, 1904, more than left Ttaly for North quarter of the total number, and. in the case of the Prince Line, for New York, the proportion of prepaid tick- ets was nearly one-half the number of tickets. The report records that the Banco di Napoli. recognized by Italian law as a suitable depository for emigrants’ mon had. in 1903, established forty- four branches in the United States. ‘Thue banks received $1,436.252 of such money in 1902 and $3,583,511 in 1903.—New York Commercial. —————— “Henry,” exclaimed Mrs. Naggum, ! “those ashes from your cigar are go- |ing to fail.” v dear,” observed Henry. “these are Port Arthur ashes; they'll hang on a long time yet, no matter what t casual observer predicts.”—Cleveland Leader.

There are complaints that the Government is educating a lot of dan- gerous, irresponsible natives to fight against it should another yevolution occur. These critics find ground for their apprehension in a recent mutiny, and also in the fact that many of the privates were in the army of Agui- naldo, and that after serving terms: of two years and learning all there is to know they decline to re-enlist. It is true that there was a mutiny, or rather desertion, in the constabu- lary forces in Northern Luzon last February. Ricarte, captain general and supreme dictator of the déemocratic republic of the Philippines, whose headquarters are in the bush, managed to get into communication with a cor- poral and six men in charge of one of the constabulary posts in the moun- tains. By appealing to their vanity and crazo for titles he persuaded them to desert their posts and become ma- Jjor generals and brigadier generals in his phantom army. The Filipinos are always dramatic, and this corporal and si men deserted with as much ceremony as might at- tend the organization of an empire. They were almost immediately -cap- tured, however. Two of them havel been sentenced to death, and the rest have gone to the penitentiary ‘for life. These severe penalties were eonsidered not only expedient, but necessary for moral effect upon the remainder of the corps, and to convince all whom it of trifling with the sovereignty of the United States. This is the only instance in which the constabulary have proved faith- it known that they have been tempted many times. In addition to the constabulary, there s a corps of 5000 native scouts, under ) ‘the direet command of the military, | and the ordinary municipal pollcel forcé, which througzhout the islands aggregates ten captains, 171 lieuten- ants, 688 sergeants, 1181 corporals and 7873 privates—a grand total of 9925 men. Thus, altogether, there are in the neighborhood of 20,000 natives under arms for the purpose of preserving peace and order, and about the same number orf regular American troops. Former Governor Taft, in his final re- port, aliuded indirectly to the appre- hensions that have been frequently ut- tered concerning the peril of drilling and arming so many natives, for they | alone would make a formidable force in case of another revolution. The British Government, after the awful lesson taught by the Sepoy mu- tiny in 1857, came to a similar conclu- and that date, althougn there never has been a revolution, two -white English soldiers have been gar- risoned in that empire for tive under arms.—Wi A in order to *“THE FERRYMAN.” THE CALL'S picture for next week is a most beautiful example of the work of the ceiebrated French artist, Leon Gogneaux.
