Sometimes they so fifteen or twenty miles to

they hunt along within mile or two of the

moon, and the white hunter ''waxeth wroth :"
for the Indian scares away his game When
taken, the otter is skinned whole, as it were
by cutting across the launches and stripping
the skin down the body and over the head
The skin Is then turned, the fur in, and
board showed through it. It is then frightened
by driving a wedge shaped piece down on
one side between the board and the skin aud
another contrariwise On the other. All the
grease is then carefully removed and the skin
Is dried and laid away ready for the market.
An average skin is about five feet long by
twelve inches wide, double, OF, when cut,
twenty-four inches wide, and, in the hunters
hand, is valued at from $50 to Sl20; but
these prices leave handsome margin 10 the
fur men who handle them: In Russia an
overcoat made from these same otter skins
brings from $1,000 to 5000, willis in China
even more is sometimes paid
The season for killing sea otter extends
from May to October, and SO scarce is this
game becoming that four q season is consid-

ANOTHER MINE HORROR.
One Hundred and Fifty Lives Lost by an
Explosion.

LONDON, March 10.-A terrific explosion
occurred today in the Morsa colliery in
Glamorganshire, Wales, which it is feared
will be attended with much loss of life.
One hundred miners are entombed and
communication with them is impossible
for the present. 1t is feared that all of
them have perished.
Later advices from the Morsa colliery
are that 300 miners were entombed but
that many have been rescued from the
workings nearest the main shaft Most
of those taken out are unhurt. although
several received fatal injuries. Heavy falls
Of rock prevented the explorers from reach
ing the more remote workings.
The latest estimate is that 80 lives have
been lost.
Eight bodies, terribly mutilated, have
been recovered from the mine Great eX-
element was caused in the pit by a ru-
NOR that appeals for help could be heard
from the entombed men, The rescuers
are constantly succumbIng to the effects
of the gas and are obliged to make a

NEW YORK, March 10.-Che cry of fire
hwoke Ludlow street once more in the

thirty families in its front and rear. The
horde of tenants, chiefly Hebrews, were
fast asleep when Policeman Baker found

fire. 1t quickly spread to Henry Bleak s
notion store and Elias Vests grocery
on the ground floor Baker gave the
alarm that sent the firemen hurrying to-
ward the spot aud yelled "fire'' until he
was hoarse. Halls and stairways filled
quickly with smoke and the tenants were
forced to take the fire escapes. not stop-
ping to put on a rag of clothing. The
iron ladders became choked at once
The fleeing tenants were driven back
TO the rear only TO find the
fire roaring up there as through a
roll chimney, making escape impossible.
>. .Hirscherchon threw his baby from the
second Hoor fire escape into the arms of a
fireman who caught it flying, and then he
lowered his wife and three other children
to the street with rope. The fifty ten
ants in the rear building were at a dis
advantage. Unable to reach the street
