/ frightened them and they returned.
Five of the ten men refused to go down
lagain ais the mine was flooding rapidly,
they said, and the loosened sides of the
shaft threatened to fall in and bury
them. The others made the second trip
and reached the mouth of the second
gallery. They found few men who
were. nearest the shaft when the first
explosion occurred. These miners had
run for-their lives but had been caught
at the entrance by falling timbers.
All had broken bones, and three
were SO firmly lodged in the
wreck that the rescuing party dared
mot wait to extricate them. Five of the
wounded We're brought up on the Sec
ond trip and two others and five dead
were brought up on the third trip.
Aid Donated by King Leopold.
King Leopold has contributed 5000
francs from his private purse to the
temporary support of the families Of
miners already known to have been
killed. Hundreds of men and women
from near by villages have gathered
near the mouth of the pit and are camp
ing around bonfres watching the pro-
tgress of the work of rescue. Families
and relatives of the 200 or more men
still eritombed have made their homes
in the fields for the night and are cook
ing their meals over open air fires so as
to get the earliest news from those i'm
prisoned by the shattered shaft.
! Two Hundred Still Entombed.
The rescued men say that twenty-five
Of the miners still imprisoned are
women. There are about 200 in all still
to be accounted for. 1t is thought that
those nearest the first cave-in in the gal
lery may be rescued alive. Those fur
lthest from the entrance of the gallery
have probably been suffocated before
this and if not will die before they can
be reached. The dead will number at
least 100 and probably $50.
The work has been set back twice by
the caving of great blocks of soil and
stone from the sides of the wrecked
shaft, and since the third trip no volun-
iteers for the work of rescue could be
found. The superintendent of the mine
has twice gone down 300 feet, but has
returned saying that the chances would
be four to one against him if he went
lower

BRUSSELS, March 11.-An accident
which, it is feared, will result in terri
BILE loss of life, has occurred in a col
liery near Gharleroi. An explosion OF
fire damp took place in coal pit In
which 270 miners were at work. OF this
number forty escaped by means OF the
second shaft and sixteen others were
rescued in a terrible and it is believed
fatally injured condition. Five bodies
have been taken out. It is thought that
the number of dead will reach 100.
The effect of the explosion was ter
rife. The cage and the ventilator were
shattered. A large number of the
miners are married and their families
are at the pit mouth frantic with grief.
Volunteers are plenty and almost SUPER
human efforts are being made to rescue
the imprisoned miners. The govern

Great Force in q Nutshell.


The procession of ,rowboats moving
rapidly about Lake Merritt, OalGfnd,
few weeks ago was observed with in
tense interest by few people who had
watched with eagerness the movements
of one of the men in the leading boat.
This boat was fitted with paddles, the
rapid rotation of which urged the boat
rapidly through the rippleso and drew
swiftly the seven other boats IN tow.
The boating excursion was no pleasure
party, but private exhibition Of mo-
tor which, if able to accomplish one
tenth of what is said of it, is the most
powerful application of eiectricalenergy
devised. "H aa
Charles Sellander is the man who di-
rected the movements of the leader boat,
and he is the discoverer Of the chemical
combination that produces marvellous
results. The process, the materials, the
manner of combination, are secrets
closely held, for no patent has been
issued. To very few people has any
information of the discovery or inyen-
ton been communicated, and these peo-
pie must be losing sleep contemplating
the ,narvels which the young inventor
claims for his motive power. Sellander
is a modest mechanic, quiet and in
dustrious, who is employed by the South
ern Pacific company as an extra engineer
Of locomotive engines. .g.
The outward appearance of his appa-
ratus is simple. His chemical compound
is incased in air tight copper vacuum
bulbs, for it explodes on exposure to the
atmosphere. Attached to the copper re-
ceptacle are wires through which the
electricity is fed as on supply wires of
other electrical systems. The discovery
is the generating materials and their
Imprisonment. One of these vacuum
bulbs is no larger than walnut. Yet
with this enthusiastically small generator
hc is said to have sent the light row.

Merritt as though they were shells

The inventor recently told friend
that for three weeks he had supplied
constant power from his tiny generator
to move toy boat in pond in his back
yard and the battery showed no signs of
weakening. To the same friend he said
that he regards his invention or discov-
cry as the nearest approach to perpetual
motion yet attained.-San Francisco Ex-
