No One Escaped From Mine Disaster ut Dux,
Bohemia, Yesterday.
VIENNA, Jan. 25.-All hope Of rescuirg alive
the men who we're entombed by the explosion
of fire damp IN the Forthschrih mine at Dux,
Bohemia, yesterday, has been abandoned. An
investigation Of the list of employees reveals the
fact that $50 men lost their lives in the disaster
1t is generally conceded that those who were
not killed by the explosion must have been suf-
located by the air damp.
The mine is being cleared Of the wreckage as
rapidly possible, but the work is necessarily
slow. Every effort will be made to recover the
bodies Of the dead. Many pitiable and heart
rending scenes were witnessed about the mouth
of the shaft when it was announced by the mine
officials that beyond a doubt every man in the
mine was dead.
No explanation has yet been made as to how
the explosion occurred

ton Today.
The annual meeting Of the regents Of the
Smithsonian Institution was held today, the
chancellor, Chief Justice Fuller, presiding.
An interesting incident was the presentation
Of the portrait painted by Robert Gordon Har-
die Of New York, Of the late Thomas G.. Hodg-
kins, whose total gift to the institution WILL il
is now believed, amount to over quar-.
ter Of a million. 1t was announced that O
grand Hodgkins prize Of $40 900 will be offered,
open to all the world, for treatise embody-
ing some new and important discovery in
| regard to the nature and properties OF

known properties of atmospheric air consid-
cred in their relationships to research in every
department OF natural science and the import
ance Of study Of atmosphere considered in
view Of these relationships.
The proper direction of future research in
connection with the imperfections of our
knowledge Of atmospheric air, and Of the con-
nections of that knowledge with other sciences
for the best popular treatise upon atmospheric
air, its properties and relationships Gncluding
those to hygiene, physical and mentaD.
gold medal is also to be struck, under the
name of the Hodgkins medal of the Smith
sonian Institution, which will be awarded
buttons to our knowledge Of the nature and
properties Of atmospheric air or for practical

Secretary Langley spoke Of Mr.. Hodgkin's
life. and told how, sixty years ago, when poor
English sailor boy, wrecked and in the hospital
at Calcutta, he formed the resolution to amasa
fortune and to devote 1t to philanthropic pur-
poses.
The circular announcing these prizes will
soon be issued to the correspondents in all parts
of the globe Of the Smithsonian, the extent OF
whose connections may be shown by the fact
that an edition Of 10000 copies has been Or
dered.
A new design for the seal Of the institution
by St. Gaudens of New York, was adopted.
The affairs Of the institution are in a pros
porous condition, its endowment fund having
recently been materially increased by persons
who appreciate its peculiar fitness to admins
ter scientific trusts.
