A C ITY OF MANY S IE G E l
Verdun Has Figured In Ware Sines
the Time ef Caeear.
The first appearance o f Verdun In the
pages o f history was tn the time of
Julius Caesar, who established at Vero-
dunum, as It was then called, a maga-
slne for his legions.
y.
The Germans first attacked Verdun
In the sixth century, when the Pranks
from the northwestern part o f Ger­
many took possession o f the town. By
the famous treaty o f Verdun, made on
this date tn the year 843. Verdun form­
ed part o f the dominions o f Lothaire.
It was taken and annexed to the Ger­
man empire In D39 by Otbo I. and plac­
ed nnder the temporal authority o f the
bishops.
Verdun surrendered to Prance In
1553. but was not formally ceded to
Prance until nearly a century later.
During the French revolution. In 1792.
the citizens o f Verdun opened their
gates to the Frussiaus after a bombard­
ment o f a few hours. The French com­
mandant committed suicide and the
revolutionary government executed a
number o f others who shared the re­
sponsibility for the Ignominious sur­
render. including fourteen girls who
had offered flowers to the Prussian
monarch. The Prussians were driven
out after having held the town forty-
three days.
The Teutonic hosts again swooped
down upon Verdun In 1870. Unable to
take the town by direct assault, they
Invested and bombarded It. and the
French, after a brave defense, surren­
dered the fortress with 4,000 men and
large stores o f ammunition. Verdun
was the last place abandoned by the
Germans, the troops retiring in Septem
her. 1873.—New York World.
Difficulties of Mining.
Every time a ton o f anthracite coal
and rock Is hoisted from a mine an
average of eleven tons o f water must
be pumped from the mine.
It takes almut the Mime amount of
power to pump fresh air Into h mine as
it does to hoist the coal out of it.
In some mines with long drlfta the

music, sometimes of an incidental
