Burning Mine.

State Mine Inspector r. NJ. Hazzeltine
has referred peculiar question to At
tOrney General ONIonnett. During the
great miners strike of 1884 and 1885 a
mine at the old mining town of Straits
vile, Perry County, was fired, and it has
been burning all these twelve years. The
mine is known as No. 139, and is owned
by John Elliott of GAINESVILLE, but is being
operated by the Great Vein Coal Com
pany. Two dangers tn, eaten from this
condition of things. The fire will prob
ably soon spread to their valuable mines
in the neighborhood unless it is put cut
and the ground over the coal is likely to
fall in, destroying the houses and farms
upon the surface. he Inspector says in
lis letter TO the Attorney General that
many persons have bought real estate over
this mine, AMI thcy are in danger con-
stantly OF losing it as well as the i'm
prov mentS they have put upon it. At
t'rney General NOanett in his answer
s,ys the proper course for the Mine In
s; ectOr to pursue is 10 notify Elliott TO
put the fire out, and if he does not do so,
prosecute him under Section 6S71 of the
Revised Statutes. 1t is a matter of doubt
whether the fire can be easily put out
now. The public has an interest in it,
however, because there is a constant waste
OF Col', and it may be that the fire will
eventually be put out at the expense of
le State.

A Cycle in Seasons.

In a recnt number Nature reproduced
paper read before the Royal Society
VI New South Wales by H. G. Russell,
{. II. s., on the periodic occurrence of
rood and bad seasons in which the
theory OF nineteen year cycle in the
weather is advanced, and most ingen-
ously maintained by evidence from all
available historic records. The author
oot only considers that he has conclu-
lively proved that such a cycle does
Exist, but he maintains there are rea-
sons for thinking that his is merely
the rediscovery Of law that was
Known to some at least amongst the
Hebrews and Egyptians. Thus Elijah's
prediction of drought was AZ X 10
tears after that which Moses predicted
II Pharaoh's time; while Elisha's pre-
iiction was nineteen years after Eli
llh's; and the great drought in Dayid's
line is 10 y 36 years after Pharaoh's.
The author, from the tables that he
las prepared, shows that there appears
10 be two series of droughts, the sec
and series being more intense and rel
atively shorter than the first series.
Taking the droughts which history has
recorded between A. d. 900 and 1896,
seventy-eight fit into the first series.
and eighty-nine into the second, total
IF 167 out of POS on record. Twenty
tecords of Il. c. droughts were found,
all of which, with one exception, fit
nto the nineteen years cycle. Great
hurricanes, the great rrosts Of history,
all the red rains, and all the droughts
that history records, with a very few
exceptions, are likewise included in
this cycle.

Grape Cultivation in China.

French yiniculturists are somewhat
disturbed by the reports that come from
Manchu of the enormous attention that
is now given to the cultivation of
grapes in Northern China. Heretofore
these have been raised only for table
use.-f In 1898 the first attempts were
made to manufacture from them wine
of ordinary quality and superior sort
of champagne. The results have been
SO satisfactory that foreign house de-
termined to secure from the Chinese
Government monopoly of the manu-
facture of wines from vineyards of
Manchu. By an imperial edict this
right has been awarded for long term
of years, and distinguished European
expert has been sent to China to take
charge of the la plant in process of
building in the grape district. French
viniculturists are worried by what they
consider may be formidable "yellow
invasion" of their market.

A Cuban Inc,dlent.

A Le wistown man who was in Cuba during former revolution says that only a person acquainted with the country can understand why tho Cu- bans have such great advantage over the Spanish. He once witnessed an attack by the rebels on a Spanish camp at an old sugar cane plantation. Be- fore the attack was made, the captain of the rebels walked up into a cane- field 200 yards from the camp and looked it over. A bloodhound used by the Spanish sniffed his presence and ran out into the field. Seeing the man standing there he went up to him. It proved to be an old friend who had often fed him before the revolution. The man loved the dog, but he loved the cause more, and taking out his meat cleaver," as the Americans called the peculiar knife axe the rebels car ried to cut wood, fight and make their way through canefelds with, he pre- tended to pat him on the head, and with one blow quietly dispatched the creature, which might otherwise have given the alarm to the camp.-Lewis- burg (Me.)

 DREXEL, Mo-, Jan. 2O.-Henry Foust, teacher of Prairie View school, five miles northwest of here, died from in- juries which were inflicted upon him some days ago by two of his l6-year- old pupils. Foust, it seems, severely punished Arthur Bishop for some mis- demeanor in school. Young Bishops father was so angered by it that he gave knife to his son and instructed him to use it in case the teacher at tempted to punish him again. The next day the teacher started to whip the boy and the latter tried to carry out his fathers instructions. but the knife was knocked from his hand. At this point, another boy, Earl Darlington, interfered and assisted Bishop in beat ing and kicking the teacher into in. sensibility. Foust was carried to his boarding place, where he lay for 36 hours in an unconscious condition and then died from spinal injuries sus. tained in the schoolhouse ;racas. The boys who are responsible for the death of Mir. Foust have not yet been arrest. ed. There has been trouble in the district before on account of unruly boys, but never with such serious re- suits as in this case.

Among no body of men was there less fraud.
