miners who have come up say

large piles of debris consisting
mainly of timber knocked out by the
terrible force of the explosion, which
was felt above ground. TO add to the
horror of the situation the deadly black
damp has made its appearance in the
mine. The loss of life caused by the
explosion is appalling. Many bodies
have been recovered by men
who are searching the mine. The total
number of dead is now placed at III.

great. Reid Carter and his two sons,
Willard and Clarence, are all dead.

The Very Worst Smell.

An odor has been found so frightful that
the discoveries have been obliged TO aban-
don its preparation. NM Bauman and
Fromm, in experimenting at Freiburg, in
Brisgau, upon the organic sulphur deriva-
tives, caused hydrogen sulphide to act
upon acetone, and obtained besides trithie-
acetone small quantities of definite COM
pound nonvolatile and crystalline, Cts
HIS S4. AT the same time there is found
very volatile body, having such a horri-
bic odor that ethylmercaptan, etYlenemer-
captain and the other volatile sulphur com
pounds are perfumes compared with it.
The discoveries have not been able to
obtain this compound in pure state, but
they do not doubt that it is monosulphur-
cited acetine C5 H6 S. AS they were one
day distilling the product of the reaction
of 100 grams of acetone with hydrochloric
acid and hydrogen sulphide, with a very
perfect arrangement for its condensation
and avoiding a sensible loss of the products
OF the reaction, the atmosphere of the
whole surrounding district of the city was
contaminated within a radius of 700 me-
tiers.
Every effort to obtain this substance in a
pure state raised such a tempest of protes-
tations and complaints against the labora-
tory that the eXperimenters were obliged
to discontinue their researches. -Pharma-

Sending Copy" CheapIy.

II IS now possible, as most people know,
to send an ordinary letter by train when
one wishes to make compromise between
dispatching telegram and forwarding q
lc4t*r by the usual means. The same adj
vantage has been enjoyed by newspapers,
so far as copy" is concerned. for many
years. Old JOURNALISTS cen remember the
time when telsSssphing Was so expensive
and so uncsgsein that most of the neWs
which appasred N the London press was
res$i~sd by trsin. In those days sukedi-
tors had onsy to salt for the last train, ar
rsving soon sfssr midnight, and they knew
what tAey had 30 deal Ssh. Now all that
is changed The LoEGon press at the
present tine receives nearly all its provin-
cial news by telegraph and good deal of
copy" arrives in the small hours of the
morning.
Provincial newspapers, however, big and
little, still make great use of the railway
system for the transmission of news. Al
most every express which starts from Lon
don between midday and evening carries a
number of packages from the news agen-
cies containing reports of markets, trials,
Stock exchange information, and so forth.
Many of these reports are incomplete.
Part Of trial viii. for example, be sent
by train starting long before it is over,
and the remainder by telegraph. These
parcels also contain little instructions for
the subeditor or the printers which can
not be dispatched over wire at the press
message rate of 100 words for one shilling
Sometimes leading articles and paragraphs
of London Letters" are sent in the same
way.-London Tit-Bits.

WAS iT WORTH WHlLEf

The old man sat at eve in his chair,
Where his clerks had left him alone.
His cheeks were plowed with burrows Of
care,
Thin were the locks of his snow white hair,
And weary eyes under them shone.
The walls with rows of ledgers were lined
A library dear to his heart.
They told of years TO MammoR consigned,
To toll, that left no room in the mind
For beauties of nature and art.
His gospel was TO lose not an hour
In ''saunterings idle and vain"
To MIN the perfume sweet of flower.
A song, rainbow after shower,
Weighed naught in the balance with
gain.
At Charity's call sometimes he gave,
And he wished all evil to shun;
But dwarfed his life to that of slave,
Losing its best to scrape and to save
The wealth that might ruin his son.
What paid lost bets on the trickster's horse.
And bought the gems shining among
Those satins and silks on yonder course?
And why the cloud of shame and remorse
On that dulled face, old and so youngp
Wherein do those fox eyed gamblers feed?
From whose hoard comes the prize rings
stake?
Does the old man in his grave give heed
That he labored such social poisons to
breed
And starved his own life for a rake?
