SENSE OF DANGER.
Developed to a Marked Degree In Men
Who Work In Mines.
Thorp is something about mines that
appeals to the superstitious <>f man
kind, writes T. Lane Carter in the
Mining and Scientific Tress. One <>'
the most marked effects lie lias noticed
in men who have spent must of theii
life in mining is a sense el' danger that
suddenly comes over them.
"Some would call this faculty the
sixth sense." he writes. "If you asked
a miner how he knows there is s
thing wrong he win reply that he feels
it. I had a remarkable illustration of
(his a few years ago.
"I was walking along a main ■
with a mine captain, a man who h -.<]
been working in mines for over forty
years, having started as a lad in the
mines of Cornwall. Suddenly he
stopped and exclaimed thai something

feet, indicji ':.: a movement of
strata of serious proportions.
"Had tiii-; discovery not been mado
in time there would have been a s^r!
ous accident in the mine, with a prob
able loss of life. I dare say the years
of experience in the mine had develop
ed a power in him which the men
called superstition, but which was real
ly the faculty of accurate observation,
which t<> him seemed unconscious."
MADE HIMSELF BLUSH.
Trick by Which an Actor Achieved a
Realistic Stage Effect.
Daniel Frohman in his ■■Memories
of a Manager" tells of a muscular
trick by which Mr. V. F. Mackay
achieved an astonishing stage effect.
It was in Bronson Howard's "One of
Our Girls." Mr. Mackay was playing
the part of a French count, who, in
one of the chief situations of the play.
is slapped in the face with a glove
by an English officer. Mr. Howard's
idea was that the count should become
violent and furious at the affront, but
Mr. Mackay contended thai as he had
been shown in the play to be an expert
duelist and accustomed to danger ho
was not likely to lose control of him
self.
Mr. Howard saw the point. The re
sult was that the Frenchman received
the insult wit limit the movement of a
muscle. He stood rigid. Only a flash
of the eye (<v an instant revealed his
emotion. Then tin- audience saw his
face grow red ami then pale. This
was followed by the quiet announce
ment from the count that lie would
send his seconds to the Englishman.
This exhibition <«f facial emotion be
trayed by the risible rash of Mood to
the actor's fa.cc was frequently noted
at the time. It was a muscular trick.
Mr. Mackay put on a tight collar for
that scene and strained his neck
against it until the blood came, and
when he released the pressure and the
blood receded the effect was reached.
A Joke That Went Astray.
To Illustrate the fact that some per
sons arc devoid of the sense of humor
this story was told at a downtown
luncheon clnb: "I forgot to pay my
newsboy last night and when I saw
him this morning gave him the 5 cents
due liiin and said, 'I thought every
minute last night you'd send a collector
for this.' '.\:i\v. nor on your life; nor
if yon owed me twicst as much.' An
hour later the boy came to my office,
where he had never been before, wait
ed for me and when I came said: 'Say,
I'm awful sorry you thought I was
sore about de nickel. Ye needn't pay
rue never til! ye want to. and about
sendin' for it—nix.* I thanked him, and
now for trying to crack a joke 1 have
secured a long line of credit"—New

Gentlemen: The correct combination
of trap rock, sand and cement thorough
ly compacted, jb the fundamental basin
of all permanent pavement. I believe
that your method of road construction
embodies correct principles and produces
a permanent pavement, which for ap
pearance, durability and use both for
horses and automobiles is equal, if not
superior, to any pavement now in use.
Your pavement in Coeur d'Alene has an
excellent appearance, is not slippery nor
dusty, will wear, I believe, indefinitely,
with practically no cost for repair", and
is from all points of view, cost included,
a thoroughly satisfactory paving.
Yours truly,
