COAL MINERS STRIKE. A great strike of coal miners is now in progress in England and the British government is facing an ugly situation. If the strike continues any length of time practically all of the industrial concerns will be obliged to close down and millions of working men and women will be without employment. beMany thousands were out of work fore the strike began. Several persons were injured during a demonstration in delDowning street on Monday while a egation representing the unemployed were on their way to seek a conference with Premier Lloyd George. The British government is said to be fully prepared for any and all eventualities, but. it is evident that if a general shut-.down, results . from., the strike it will be impossible to prevent outbreaks when the supplies of food and fuel give out and starvation threatens. It may be that a compromise will be reached some time during t!.e present week and that the miners will return to work. On the other hand, it is quite possible that the railway unions will strike in sympathy with the miners and thus render the situation doubly dc grrous. The foreign exchange situation has been had ever since the armistico was signed. As one of the first Tesults of the strike the pound sterling has dropped on buying OTders to cover and prospective coal shipments from the United States to Europe. The continental exchanges are all weaker. In thia country the strike has also had an adverse effect Great Britain is onr largest customer and If business stops over there we cannot escape lose on this side of the ocean. ae-tg- FAIRCHILD LOSES. the capacity of wireless telegraph stations has just been announced by Rah-be- k and Johnson, two Danish inventors. Following the discovery in 1917 of a w force resembling electromagnetism, the inventors say, they constructed an electroscope by which ex tremcly minute quantities of electricity may be detected. Experts think that this discovery may mean the .more rapid transmission of messages by wireless and also that an installation of low power will be sufficient to send messages to far gneater ' distances than is now possible! Mr. Rahbeek says he is now at Vork on a device which will permit of! dispatches by wireless being received twrenty times more quickly than is at present possible Johnson and Rahbek are said to, have evolved what is pronounced the "'loudest speaking" telephone yet devised. Rahbek demonstrated this invention before the Polytechnic academy at Copenhagen recently when he made a violin talk." . Almost weekly we. hear of new TIME FOR REFLECTION. !

The disturbances which recently have occurred in three continents are regarded by scientists as movements of the earth s crust, and yet they say that some of the shocks may have extended to a depth of ,200 miles. Fault lines or weak places in the earth are well known to geologists, according to G. P. Merrill, curator of the National museum, who explains that because of this knowledge a general prediction concerning the area of a disturbance can be made. But, he adds, no sane man would attempt to say. exactly where or when, for a fault may extend for several hundred miles. WORDS OF WISDOM. Turning aside from the political campaign for the moment, the Cincinnati Enquirer serves its readers with the following gems of truth-- . A single lesson serves to Impress tne human mind, forever and forever, with some great truth, as, for example, that fire Is hot. But there are others which must be repeated a million times, and there are some which we never learn at all. Shall we ever learn that we do not prosper bv the misfortunes of our competitors and rivals? There 1b a secret and delightful exukatlon of our hearts over the defeat and failure which prevents our seeing, what is so plain to our intellects, that there is a.sort of contagion in .iailure and that misfortune is catching. The grin upon the merchant's face when he hears that his rival across the street has made an assignment Is Idiotic. The minister who rubs his hands in secret exultation over the empty pews in a neighboring church is a fool. Bv the game token, a nation that rejoices in the bankruptcy of a competing nation, or over the desolation wrought in it by war, is mad. If any American manufacturer, or trader, or politician chuckles when he hears of the paralysis of European nations because he thinks it is going to redound to the ultimate prosperity of his country he is not only a bad man In his moral nature but a nincompoop in hts political economy. That paralysis may .affect us favorably for a - moment' but In the long run will communicate itself to the nervous center of our commercial life and produce a similar prostration A helping hand stretched out to one of the least and most unfortunate nations fallen upon "the Jericho road might possibly redound to the prosperity of America quite as much as ths strongest push administered directly to our business Institutions - ' THERE IS NO DEATH.

Oct M.ii About? en ban- -' dred thousand New Yorkers of the sort that are supposed to be bound to the pavement for life, and never to get a treath of fresh country air or to roam in the woods and fields, are now furbishing .up their arms, buying ammunition and getting ready to take the hunting field. These are not aU or even moet.y o New Yorkers, wealthy and who own care and memberships in clubji and things like that. Many of them are poor workingmen. If they bad the misfortune to live In some rural sections, where the game is not well protected except on posted lands, they would stand little chance of a day of recreation In the hunting field, but living in tha greatest city in the world In a state where game protection is practiced scientifically, these chaps can get a real day's sport for the price of a car or ferry ticket, or a very short railroad Journey at most. So diligently has New York protected Its game that there ia even good shooting1 Small gams within the city limits. fairly abundant on parts of Staten Island, and ths rabbit hunters also find good sport in Flushing and Jamaica, while Jamaica bay for the last few year has been really full of ducks. Barren Island, whers the city dumps Its dead horses. Is a good place for snorebird' shooting, snd can be reached from most parts of the city by the expenditure of a dime. Of course various police regulations restrict ths shooting in these urnan districts, but they none the less furnish New Yorkers with sport every year. LONG ISLAND A HUNTING GROUND. If you can afford more than a car tlckr et and as much as a whole day of time, you can get much better sport by going from twenty to forty miles into the country. Gong Island, deepite Us large population, contains a variety of wild country, and Is one of the best natural game and fish regions In the world. You can find almost any sort of sport you want on Gong Island, from digging clams and catching crabs, to hunting foxes with hounds. There is deer hunting on ths island, too, snd they ax on ths increase, but deer hunting is not allowed, chieflv because of the danger of shooting jifle so near 'Civilisation. k Grouse, quail, woodcock and pheasants, rabbits and squirrels make up the attractive list of small gam. The especially are on the Increase, pheasants many of them being raised every year on a state game farm and liberated, while eggs and young bird will be turned over to anyone who Is willing to help in this work of stocking the coverts, Gong Island furnishes a surprising of fishing, too, all kinds of salt water fish. Inhabiting it coastal waters, while Its streams and lakes contain trout, bass and pickerel. You would expect that all of the best hunting and fishing on Gong Island would be owned by private individuals snd preserves, and that the poor man would be shut out from the outdoor life, as h Is In so many regions whers the land is not controlled by the forest service or some other putyle sgency. 'The forest fish and gam commission her says that this is not the case. Most of the lands The law of the IslRnd are farm lands. requires that If the farmer wants to lands his must he post keep out hunters with a sign at least a foot square every forty rods. Most of the lands. It Is said, are not posted. The hunters have learned that It Is not good manners to break fences and shoot cows, snd most of the farmers are tolerant of the sportsmen. There are many station in good hunting country in Gong Island, where you can get off the train, shoulder y6ur gun and strike across country without being molested. DUCK 8HOOTING FOR ALL. In the same way, while some of the best points are controlled other plaoea by clubs, there are many where anyone may hire a ducking boat or a sink box and go out in quest of game. Most of the fresh water fishing and practically all of the salt water fishing Is open to all comers. Indeed, ther are probably five anglers In New York for one hunter. The thing that restricts the number of hunters going out from New York Is that very few of the people of Hebrew descent, who make up such a great part sf ths population, care lot'asport. It Is a rare thing, Indeed, to see Hebrew afield with a gun. He has little taste either for killing or for wild meat.

In many states it Is sought to protect game by allowing very short shooting seasons, which are generally not enforced with any auoceaa. New York, on th other hand, allows generous open seasons snd bag limits, but the laws are rigidly enforced. In most part or th United Btaites, a game warden Is some farmer who haa been appointed to a eoft political Job. H never think of devoting any time to It or of actually patrolling hla territory.
