Crested Butte coal mine, Gun

men are believed to be buried
alive in the bowels of the earth.
At Z o'clock an explosion of fire

at work, and since then large
force of men have been at work
clearing away the debris, and
there will be no relaxation in
their efforts of rescue until the

dead or alive. The mine, which
IS owned and operated by the
Colorado Iron Co., is noted for
the production of the best coal
in Colorado. The explosion was
terrific, great rocks and clods of
cart, being thrown into the air.
No other mine in the world has
been as liable to explosion as
this one, in consequence of the
highly infiammable nature of The
gas generated in the galleries.
Recognizing the great danger, the
Company had prepared the mot

had fitted outthe premises in the
most approved manner, with a
view to the utmost possible safe

che kind of crude faith, half-believing.
which it inspires in the breasts of all.
We know what we are talking about.
As sure as tlattcry will overcome king

sure will signs and omens affect all

of the universal sun.
We call the above pretty fine writing,
but it cost us very little effort, and we

wrestle with that sentence for days and
nights before entrusting it to the criti-
cism of cold and heartless world. No,

her the first time. The true hythmic
fuency of language is as familiar to
us as the true huidity of-but we digress.
Yes, we believe in signs and omens,
simply because of their effect on poor
human nature. We are all bundles of
habits. As the twig is bent, SO will the
tree incline. AS the child is educated,
so will he live, believe, struggle with
doubts, accept some, reject much; yet
withal will he be involuntarily impress
ed with that which he has been taught,
and that child who, born in New York,
is willing to scoff at Mohammedanism,
will as surely accept it as the true faith
if born in Constantinople of Turkish
parents, as the sun is bound to rise to-
morrow morning.
With this assumption which will bear
the test of truth, how impossible it is.

Thus far the omen which produces this

Air-G,rms at Different Seasons.

The observations conducted at the OBJ
servatory of Montsouris show that there
are on the average eighty bacteria in =
cubic metre of air: The highest number
was observed in the fall, the lowest in
the winter. There were found fifty
bacteria in December and January, only
thirty-three in February, one hundred
and five in May, fifty in June, and one
hundred and seventy in October. The
diagrams of daily observations show
that the number of spores of these algn
increases with the temperature. In
versely to what takes place in tho case
of the moldS, the number of the schiz-
ophytes. small in rainy weather, rises
when all the moisture has disappeared
from the surface of the soil. The count
eraction of moisture is stronger than the
direct action Of temperature; and this
fact accounts for the rarity of the bac-
terra after the great rains of February,
April and June. Still long period of
dry weather does not. appear to be favor
able to the development of the plants.
The number rises at first during the hot
season, but diminishes under the ini1u-
ence of progressive desiccation toward
the second or third week.
The diminution in hygrometric cou-
ditions manifested in September and
October explains the recrudescence of
the bacteria during these months.
Some photographers have suggested
that the germs may be transported by
the vapor of water; but NJ NIiquel's ex-
periments invalidate this hypothesis, and
indicate that the evaporation of water
from the surface of the ground never
carries any schizophytes with it. On
the other hand. numerous tests have
shown that dry dust, especially those of
hospitals, proceeding from substances
in state of putrefaction. sanious pus,
and the objections of the sick, are charg-
ed with microbes. Great agglomerations
of men furnish the most of them. Ac-
cording to the measurements made in
the Rue de kiyoii and Montsouris, the
air in the interior of Paris is nine or ten
times richer in bacteria than that in the
neighborhood of the fortiiications.-Poo-
utar Science Monthly.
