Did you ever read the sixteenth verse
of the twenty-frst chapter of Revelation:
No? Well, read it and you will get some
interesting figures about the world above
the skies. 1t gives the dimensions of
! heaven, and reads this way: And he
measured the city with a reed, $1,000 fur
longs. The lengsh and the breadth and
the height of it are equal"
Have you ever made the calculation? -
Yes, here it is now" and he handed
the reporter the following:
Twelve thousand furIongs equal l.
100000 feet, which, being cubed, is 1876
793,088, 900, 0,0O0,O00,O0O cubic feet. Re
serving one-half of this space for the
throne and court of heaven, and half the
balance for streets, we have the remain
der 124 1913, ,272 4,O06, the cubic feet in a
room sixteen feet square, and there will
be 3O,321, ,S43.75O, 100000 rooms. Now,
suppose the world always did and always
will hold 900,O00,0O0 inhabitants, and
that generation last thirty-three and
oEethird years, making in all 2,O7O,O00,-
100000 inhabitants every century, and
that the world will stand 190,000,000
/ years, or 1000 centuries, making in all
100000, 100000 inhabitants. Then sup
pose there were 100 worlds equal to this
in the number of inhabitants and dura-
tion of years, making total of 1878

A Disastr0us Caye-ln.

SCRANTON, Pa, Sept. 13.-The MarVine
shaft, colliery of the Delaware d. Hudson
Canal Co, was the scene of an extensive
caVe-in, this morning, by which it is
feared q number of men have lost their
lives, how many it is impossible to say,
suppositions varying from to 3. There
seems TO be but little question of the
death of one of them, an elderly man
named John Shafer. 4 number of men
were cut ard bruised by the falling of
rocks and coal in making their escape up
the slope.
The following are the names of the in
jured: Henry Shafer, shoulder bruised
and three ribs broken; Thomas Healy,
laborer, slightly hurt; Joseph Ready,
driver, toes mashed; George Mason,
miner, hand badly cut; Peter
Kelley timber boss was struck on the
back of the head and on the shoulder by
q falling rock. Kelly passed John
Shafer an elderly man at the foot of the
slope. He thinks that the rock which
struck him struck Shafer also.
The search for those still remaining II

and an entrance through them is as yet

and moved that jeremiah NJ. Rusk, of
Vernon, be renOminated for the office of
governor by acclamatiOn. There was
great cheering. The motion received
several seconds, a number of orators
wishing to relieve themselves.
The governor was waited on, escorted
10 the chamber and addressed the con
veutiOn as follows:
Mr.. Chairman aud Gentlemen of the Conven-
vention: From the bottom Of my ht art thank
