lamp occurred in the shaft of the
Orrel Coal Company, New
bury, w. Va.
The explosion occurred while the
day shift of miners were at work IN
the mine, which is located near the
outskirts of town; the air was sud-
denly rent with the most tremendous
explosion, the force Of which knock
ed men down in the streets half a mile
away, SCATTERING windows and doors
all over town, and even crushed the
stout sides of frame houses for long
distance around the mouth ofthe Or
rel mines, while from the deep shaft
of the colliery a dense cloud of MIN
gled smoke and vapor arose 200 feet
in the air.
The shaft in which The explosion
occurred was sunk about two years
ago, and has reached depth of 800
feet. From the base of the shaft the
main heading runs out about half a
mile from where the narrow rooms
diverge from either side. The theory
advanced as to the cause of the explo-
sion is that fire-damp had accumula,
ted in one of those rooms and was
ACCIDENTALLY IGNITED
by a miners lamp, but nothing posi-
tive has yet been learned. The force
of the explosion blocked the air pas
, sage so close that no one dared ven
ture in the main heading to ascertain
the fate of the imprisoned men unit
an air passage could be established
The work is being pushed vigorous
ly.

Altogether Too Realistic.

The Nashville American thus de-
3cribes a~too-realistic scene in a theatre
Of that city: Among those who saw
the "Gold King" at the Park theatre
recently was a young man of fair
complexion, %blue-eyed, and neatly
dressed, who, after taking several
glasses of wine at the bar, went up
stairs and took the procenium box.
In the play, toward the close of the
second act, is the clue for Hetorc, the
Newfoundland dog, to spring from be-
hind thescenes upon w. S. Thompson,
the william ofthe play, and apparently
choke him to death as the curtain
goes down. Accordingly at the APP
pointed time, a large, dark object was
seen to launch itself forward and set
tie upon the shoulder of the william.
The two fell to the stage, and the
seeming struggle of death began.
Just at this moment the young man
in the p~roscenium box leaned forward
out of the box and, pointing a pistol
toward the man and the dog, not 20
feet away, fired. The audience rose
as one man and made for the street.
They thought a tragedy was being en-
acted. The young man dashed out of
the box and ran down stairs. A
moment alter he was collarel. Search
revealed a pistol, a 3S calibre. In ex-
PLANTATION of the shooting he said he
thought the dog was killing the man,
and he wanted to save the latter.
He was put behind the bars. The bull
let, which lodged in the scenery, could
not have missed Mr.. Thompson by
over a foot.

From the New York Journal OF Commerce.
The reckoning of percentages, like
the minus sign in algebra. is a con.
slant stumbling block to the novice.
Even experienced newspaper writer's
often become muddled when they at
tempt to speak of it. The ascending
scale is easy enough. Five added to 20
IS gain of % per cent; given any
sum of figures the doubling of it is an
addition of 100 per cent. Bat the
moment the charge is a decreasing
calculation the inexperienced mathe-
matician betrays himself, and even,
the expert is apt to stumble or go
astray. An advance from 20 to 20
is an increase of % per cent; but the
reverse of this, that is, a decline from
20 to 20, is q decrease OF only 20 per
cent. There are many persons other
wise intelligent, who cannot Q why
the reduction of 100 to so is not a
decrease of 100 per cent if an advance
from so to 100 is an increase OF 100
Pef cent. The other day an article OF
merchandise which had been purchas-
ed at 10 cents a pound was resold at
30 cents a pound, q profit of 200 per
cent; whereupon q writer, In cbroni-
cling the sale. said that, at the begin.
ming of the recent depression, several
invoices of the same class of goods
which had cost over 80 cents per
pound had been finally sold at 10
cents per pound, q loss of " goo
per cent. OF course, there cannot be
a decrease or loss of more than 100
per cent, because this wipes out the
whole of the investment. An advance
of from 10 to 80 isagain Of 200 per
cent; but a decline from 30 to 1G is q
loss of only 60 2-3 per cent.
