cial from South McAHister, !. r., says "a
hours have elapsed since the fatal explosion
in the mine ut krebs, Int it is still impossi-
hle to estimate the number of victims. The

sion can be determined only by house to
house canvass which is now being made. 1t
Is believed the killed will number fully 100
the in jurod 10, about one-half OF whom
will probably die.
At the hour OF the explosion there were
about 400 men in tue mine. They were the
day Sniff aud were preparing to ascend
when the explosion took place. The cage
was blown through the roof Of the tower
and so feet into the air. A tongue of flame
shot up the shaft and above the ground
fully 100 feet, which was followed by a ter
rifle report watch was heard for miles
around and shook all the neig hboring county
so violently that people In the surrounding
mining towns, four and five miles distant,
thought an earthquake was rocking the
ground.
The scenes about the mouth of the shaft,
Immediately following, were fearful in the
extreme. Weeping wives, mothers and sis
tiers focked to the scene from the villages,
their faces blanched with dread and many
of them hysterical to the point of insanity.
The air shaft was the only way of escape
for tho entombed miners Many of the
miners were able to make their way out and
were warmly welcomed by their friends.
The news of the disaster spread quickly
through the villages surrounding krebs and
the work Of rescue was begun at once and
has continued all through last night and to-
day. At the various places used as morgue.
there were about II unidentified bodies and
pieces of bodies.

DImcultIes of High veIocity--A Few Kxesn

 Tho high velocity is gained not only at the expense of the carriage but of the projectile- The violent forces in the bore break up pro;ectiles formed of the ordinary cast-iron. and steel has to bc employed for sheiia material not only more costly but les we'll adapted to the purpose for which it Is intended. Cast-iron breaks up readily into small pieces and allows the force of the bursting charge to have full effect. while steel shell is strong enough to resist the explosion inside it too effectually, is only par tially opened and does not fly Into splinters. Other difficulties also arise in connection with fuses says the Sat urday Review. and these have m fact proved so insuperable that tho great powers of the 12-pounder cannot be fully utilized--a regards shrapneL at any ratc-because time fuse can- not be made to act at anything except ordinary ranges
 The situation is this--that 1T you insist on high velocity you have t0 add so much additional machinery Q your gun carriage and have to so greatly strengthen It's c0nstruction thnt you destroy its mobility, while even if you gain . long range you aro still unable to make use of your m0ot efficient projectile at 1t Moreover since the remaining velocity of tte shrapnel is truer measure of tho value of gun than it's initial velocity and the two are by no means directly proportional. 1t does not follow that we benefit as much as we might expect by submitting to these disadvantages. Thus. the l2-pounder has an initial velocity of over l. 700 feet per second and remaining velocity at OOO yards of S62 feet; while the 13-pounder with an initial velocity of only l, 56O feet has at the same Iange romatn- ing velocity greater Hy SIX feet per second than that of iti rival. One os our highest authorities on field artil- lery has, indeed. recorded his opinion that as regards the efficiency Of shrAp- nel we gain nothing Uy the increased muzzle velocity of the best fiold-gun in Europe at all practical ranges Moreover, it is the attempt to squeeze out the last few extra feet that doee all the harm
