Rats In Coal Mine Warn
Men of Inraendinf? Ihn'W'
\MLKESBARRE, Pa.. Aug. 25. (£>)
—Rats in the anthracite coal mines
on many occasions have demonstrat
ed that they are friends of the min
ers in giving them warning of ap
proaching danger. A recent instance
occurred in the Empire Colliery.
Anthony Kopnski and his son
while eating lunch wereattracted by
the peculiar actions of two rats which
continually annoyed them. Five times
they drove the rats away by throw
ing pieces of coal at them, but each
time the rodents returned. This at
last aroused the suspicions of the
elder Kopnski, who, directing his
son to follow him, went out of the
pit.
They had proceded only about 20
feet when the roof crashed in, bring
ing down such a mass of coal and
rock that would require three weeks
to remove it.
The ability of the rats to warn the
miners of approaching danger has
resulted in many of the men making
pets of them. The average miner
hesitates to kill a rat, especially if
he is working in a chamber where
caves are likely to occur or where
there is a bad air or gas.

Many Americans Prepare
for Hunting In Scotland
'EDINBURGH, Aug. 26. (/P)—A larg
er number of American sportsmen
will be in Scotland this year than
ever before for th^ grouse shoot
ing and deer stalking. The usual oc
cupants of big shoot boxes have
renewed their tenancies of “shooting
boxes” and in addition others have
taken up several smaller ones. Rents
have increased considerably since pre
war days and a conservative esti
mate places the amount of money
which goes to Scotland during the
short season at $3,750,000.
R. H. McCurdy of New York has
taken about 34,000 acres in Banff
shire from the Duke of Richmond for
shooting and J. H. Steers has leased
Glenkindie in Aberdweenshire from
Lord Burgh. E. H. Litchfield will
shoot with his friends over the Erch
less estate and Achnagairn mansion
has been leased by C. W. Ogden of
New York.
Many Scottish owners are taking
friends up to their own estates and
several wealthy Britons have obtain
ed estates not required by American
sportsmen.
International Police
Conference of Value,
Says Berlin Chief
BERLIN, Aug. 25. (/P)—The Inter
national Police Conference in New
York recently fulfilled its object be
yond expectations, in the opinion of
Colonel Kuenzer, of the Berlin Po
lice department. In addition to fur
nishing many helpful ideas and sug
gestions, he said, it supplied the
much-felt want of putting the police
chiefs of the entire world in close
> touch with each other.
Colonel Kuenzer praised the New
York department and Commissioner
Enright and added that nothing ever
had made such such a deep impres
sion upon his official heart as the
parade of New York’s “finest.”

PIONEER WHJTE LEAD
GERMANS COMPLAIN
ON AERIAL PROGRESS
BERLIN, Aug. 25. (/P)—A number
of leading aerial companies held a
meeting in Berlin recently to protest
against the limitations imposed upon
aerial navigation by th$ note of the
Ambassadors’ Conference. Acting as
spokesman for the companies, Otto
Julius Merkel, director of the Deut
scher Aero Lloyd, declared that the
Treaty of Versailles had tied Ger
many’s hands in regard to military
aviation, but had granted absolute
freedom to civil aeronautics. On the
strength of this pledge by 22 nations,
he said, German aeronautic circles
were not only justified, but in duty
bound to guard the freedom of their
civil aerial navigation.
The speaker emphasized that during
the last 5 years German aeronautics
strove indefatigably to establish good
business connections with the aerial
companies of neighboring countries.
He maintained that all aerial naviga
tion to be successful must be inter
national and that if London or Mos
cow, for instance, could be reached
as quickly by the aerial route as
Munich from Berlin, the economic
necessity for this mode of traffic
was indubitably estbalished.
Director Merkel stated that in Eu
rope and America—but especially in
the United States—all expenses en
tailed by the development of aerial
navigation were defrayed by the
state with the same promptness and
readiness as formerly in the case of
the wireless service. He pointed out
that at Hendon, in England, the
large traffic airplane, Vanguard, with
two 650 horsepower Royce Condor
motors and intended for 25 passen
gers, was a striking illustration of
England’s progress and that at last
year’s civil aviation contest in France
the first prize had been awarded to
Farman’s four-motor Jabiru intended
for 14 passengers. In Germany,
however, the capacity of non-military
planes was to be limited to nine pas
sengers.
The speaker concluded, amid loud
acclamations, that German aerial cir
cles were determined to reject these
severe and throttling restrictions by
the Ambassadors’ Conference, as be
ing unjustifiable in view of the actu
al results attained in this respect by
France and England.
European Beet Sugar
Acreage Down Except
In the Russian Provinces
ROME, Aug. 25 (JP)—Acreage de
voted to beet sugar growing in Euro
pean nations, producing three-quar
ters of the world’s supply decreased
from 1.963,000 hectares in 1924 to
1,905,000 hectares in 1925, statistics
gathered by the International Insti
tute of Agriculture show.
Ihe decrease was greatest in Spain
falling from 179,000 to 78,000 and in
Italy falling from 124,000 to 50,000,
while Bulgaria which had 25,000 hec
tares planed in 1924 had none in 1925.
On the other haiid a large increase
was reported from Russia where the
acreage was augmented from 345,000
to 469,000 hectares.
Austrians Claim Mitterdorfer
Was Inventor of Typewriter
INNSBRUCK, Austria, Aug. 25. (IP)
—A memorial tablet has been un
veiled on thehouse of Peter Mitter
dorfer, who, Austrians claim, was the
inventor of the typewriter.
Mitterdorfer was born September
22, 1822. Forty years later he set
tled in Innsbruck and began work
on his invention. After two years (
he had finished his first “typewriter,"
a contraption made of wood, leather,
wire and gut strings, the types con
sisting of sharp needles. Forty-sev
en years later this first attempt was ,f
found in the attic of his house.
Disputing that the typewriter is an
American invention, the Austrian ver
sion is that Carlos Glidden, an Amer
ican, saw the Mitterdorfer model at
the imperial polytechnic institute at
Vienna, copied it, and in 1867 con
structed the first American machine
in conjunction with C. Lathom Sholes
and S. W. Spule of Milwaukee. The
American patent was acquired by E.
Remington & Sons.
