Buried Alive,

a WILKEsBARRE, Pa, special of April
Oath says an extensive cave occurred
at the Sugar Notch coal mines at an
early hour this morning, burying seven
men; whose fate is yet unknown. The
mines had been cracking for twenty
four hours, d natural warning of i'm
pending danger, and at 4 o'clock this
morning all the men except seven, who
were half a mile away, hastily left the
workings, masses of roof being already
falling rapidly. Two men, at the peril
of their lives, had previously gone to
alarm the five men, and did not return.
Several hundred yards of mine cham
bers were soon filled with the precipi-
tated rock, and the men were cut off a
thousand feet below the surface. AS
they we're so remote from the cave
hopes are yet entertained that they
have remained in the solid
chambers awaiting rescue, and that,
if so, they will be found alive. Others
think they made desperate efforts at
escape, and have met death IN the
wrecked portion of the mine. It is
feared that the two heroes who went to
warn them were caught by the falling
rocks and crushed As soon as the
alarm could be given, hundreds of will
ing hands were at work sinking d slope
into the hillside, and as the country is
a perfect subterranean honeycomb, they
expect to work through into the mines,
go around the caved portion, and rescue
the men. When the Tribune reporter
reached the scene he found a multitude
of people on hillside gathered around
the spot, which was inclosed in ropes.
where the men were making almost
superhuman efforts to dig and drill
down through thirty feet of earth and
rock, where they would strike the mine.
The first five hours were wholly lost, as
the digging was in the wrong place, but
after careful survey by the engineers
new slope was begun, and the work
renewed. Only few men could work
at one time IN this contracted pit, which
had an angle of So degrees, but they
were relieved at short intervals, and
the mine will be reached before morn
ing. All is uncertainty, however, and
the cave may be SO extensive as to
absolutely cut off all communication.
The roof is still falling tonight, and
from the entrance to the mine it can be
heard like a roar of thunder. The
names Of the men are as follows: Ed
ward Price, Charles Hawkins, contract
ors; Bernard Riley, John Green, Pat
rick Green, and the two who enaeav-
ored to give the alarm-William Kin
ney and john Clark. All are unmar-
ried except the first two.

blackened, ragged walls standing

blackened, ragged walls standing. All
the rest is tumbled into one great pile
of smoking, glowing debris, which
makesone heart-sick to see. The In
Urinary, a handsome, three-story brick,
in which Father Manner, had his office,
the Music hall, the Old Mems home and
Minim's hall are mass of heated
bricks and gle omy embers. These
buildings, with the contents not saved,
cost, as estimated by President Corby,
not far from $25O,O00. Of course there
are many articles turned whose value
cannot be estimated in dollars. The In
surance is $4,000, divided principally,
and in $4,000 to $1,000 lots, among the
Hartford. North British, North German,
Commercial Union, London, Liverpool
and Globe, Imperial and the Spring
field Fire and Marine companies. There
are various theories as to the origin of
the fire. Some believe it to have been
spontaneous combustion and others
that it caught from the chimney of the
boiler room.
The University of Notre Dame was
founded in 1912 by very Rev. Father
Sorin, now superior general of the Con-
gregation of the Holy Cross. and was
the most fourishing Catholic educa-
tional institution in the United States,
the usual attendance of students being
from five hundred to seven hun
bred from all parts of the
United States, and many of them
being from foreign countries. 1t
was also the largest boarding institu-
ton in the United States. It was es-
pecially rich in its Libraries, geological,
archaeological, chronological, numis-
matte, and other collections. Most Of
these were destroyed together with a
collection of skeletons recently pur-
chased at a cost of 81, 400. The faculty
met when they saw that the buildings
were doomed and decided to send the
students home INN ediately. Plans are
already in perfection for rebuilding, and
President Corby says they will be ready
for the September term. Father Sorin,
the founder of the institution, LETT on
Monday for France via Montreal, and
is now at the latter place.

The Army Worm.

Prof. Thomas, Illinois state entomol-
ogist, told reporter recently that from
the indications, which are very strong,
visitation of the ''army worm" may
be expected in al least some sections
Of the state this summer, but wheth er
in large or small ''regiments,'' or wheth-
er their ravages would be great Or
small, he could not say, as ne had only
seen the night flying moth, of which
the "army worm" is the larva, in a few
different localities. These moth (leuca-
r,ia alnipuncta) are now depositing their
eggs in the fields and meadows in large
quantities. The weather, too, be further
more stated, was very favoroble. 1t is
therefore thought desirable, as We may
expect the insect, to give a brief de-
scription of it. 1t is, as before stated,
the larva Of the night. flying moth, and
very plain and unadorned in It's pre-
sence, and varies considerable IN size,
owing to age or locality; but its charac-
teristic markings are so constant as to
make it readily distinguishable. 1t
m easures from one and three-fourths
to two inches IN length-when well fed,
the latter-and is about as thick as a
goose quill. Its color is a lighter or
darker gray, two lateral stripes, the
upper with a yellowish central line, the
lower reddish one, legs sixteen, six
true or pectoral, eight prolegs or alb
dominal, and two anal. ~ - "s 90.
When they are numerous it is of
course, desirable to arrest their ravages;
the most common, and probably the
easiest, method is to pillow a double fur
row around the fed, or across any part
of the field toward which the "army
worm" is marching. The steep side of
the furrow must be next the unarmed
field, and the soil friable. for if it is stiff
or strong the worm can easily climb the
steepest ridge, but if light, friable soil,
it will fall back into the furrow Straw
should then be put into the furrow and
set on fire to destroy the worms.
Thousands, toe, Of these may be de-
stroyed by running heavy roller over
the field wherein they are, a very stout
pressure being sufficient to break the
skin, which kills them. This will not
apply to uneven ground, unless taken
when the worms are out of the hollows
and feeding on the upper leaves. Then
turn In your hogs, sheep, ETC., and
harm not the crow or blackbird that
would much prefer good fat caterpil-
lar to grain of corn, oats or wheat.

A BALTIMORE man recently wrote to
Herbert Spencer for an explanation of
the paradoxical customs of the Japan
csc, citing examples, as follows: "a
piece of cord in Japan is twisted from
left to right in the process of manu-
facture. A plane is drawn toward the
person using it. The teeth of a saw are
so set that it is the upward pull which
cuts. Their books commence at what
we would call the end, turning the
leaves from left to right, while the
lines run up and down the page instead
of across, and the pages are numbered
at the foot. The face of their clock
moves and the hands are stationary.
They say 1T is 4 O'clock meaning that
it lacks four hours of being noon, while
with us it is always SO much past the
starting point. Mr.. Spencer replied
that the question involves "a wider
range than at first sight appears" but
declined to express his views on the
plea of lack of time. l
