Where Modern Methods Have Driven Out the Safety Lamp. ' In some of the mora progresslro and larger mines, the miner's lamp haa be come a thing of tbe past In Its atead the dark passages and work chambers are illuminated by electricity. The mines are wired and lighted with all tbe luxurious effectiveness of the mod ern home. Besides making their un derground employment less oppressive to the miners, the Illuminated mine offers considerable advantage In the way of better work and less exposure to danger. With motor operated coal cars, a tele phone system and Instruments for tbe detection of gas danger, the np to date mine ia decidedly a more pleasurable place to work In than of old.

A leeeont Changed the Revlna Camp Into a sarmanent Heme. The difference between a bomo and camp la a blossom. Until flowers were pie n ted about tbt abode of men, nnUI blooms were cultivated, there were no permanent homes, no fixed places of abode. Tents were struck and a new location sought Attach ments were not formed for localities. We were a wandering, shiftless, com fortless lot until a woman trudged la from the thicket and planted a vino or ehrub or flower about tha tent and called It borne. It waa a woman, of course. Man. In bla coarseness, never thought of stick ing a stem into the earth and nurtur ing a plant that be might have color and fragrance forever In bla presence. Only the woman could bavo thought of that And since tha first good dsy when j the woman plsnted a flower and loved It into blossoming, tbe borne has been a fixity. It baa been a center of the affections. Too building may be de stroyed, the lndlvtdusl members of the family may be scattered to tbo four winds, but tha borne remains a fix ture In the memory and tbe blossoms do not fade or wither In the mind.
