Shortly after o'clock this morning the
announcement was made that fire had

escaped.
The men had been at work but a short

stead of trying to extinguish it ran away,
going to the surface to give the alarm.
The men working below the ninth level
escaped to No. shaft and came to the
surface that way. OF the four who were
working in the sixth level, all but two
escaped-Peter Limpea and his 2O-year-
old son, William. At the eighth level
eight men were working. All escaped but
William Tomachoski and his 16-year- old
son. Attoine. They could easily have es-
capped with the others but went back for
their dinner pals This was the last
seen Of them. The other two unfortun-
ates had received warning Of their dan
ger, but failed to reach the surface
A rescuing party went down this after
noon, but could not get within 400 feet
of the fire. The damage to the shaft can
not yet be estimated. The origin Of the
fire is not known. Fully 1000 people gath

LONDON, Oct. 16.-Here is an I'm
usually interesting budget OF news for
American readers. Visitors from the
United States this season have found a
new curiosity in a highly respectable
looking private house with Queen
Anne doorway, at No. 19 Chapel street.
II is the Church of Humanity, and it
looks as little like a church as that
John street place of worship | fenlem-
Der in New York
On entering the building, one is at
once struck with its similarity, and yet
its dissimilarity, to a church interior.
AT the east end, mounted on three
steps, is an altar draped in crimson
velvet and edged with sold lace. The
organ is a small one-manual affair,
and the lectern and pulpit are Of carv-
ed oak draped with crimson velvet
pals. The church is seated with chairs.
This religious institution was found
ed by Auguste Comte. It's creed, he de-
clared, was: THAT which distinguishes
modern from ancient ideas is the con
ception of development. 1t does not
enter into eighteenth century thought
1t permeates and governs that of the
nineteenth. The founder of this church
saw, as none had ever seen before

tute in the Buckingham palace road.
A. Dimmock, the chief instructor and
gymnastic manager, said regarding it!
I'VE have 6,GG0 ladies on our books who
have been taught fencing, cycling and gym
nastic exercises here, and it is from these
that the members of the club will no doubt
be largely drawn I believe this will be a
big thing and that we are the pioneers of
movement that will be very widespread be-
fore long"
''Do you think ladies will take to carrying
revolvers?" he asked.
II should hardly suppose So" said Mr..
Dimmock; but a gentleman who was stand
ing by suggested that in view of the mo-
lestation of lady cyclists in out-of-the-way
country districts, some of the bolder spirits
among the wheelwomen might for self-pro-
lection.
Baroness Hirsch has not abandoned her
plan of coloniZing the Jews in Russia. A
friend of hers said the other day: 1T is alb
surd to say that the plan of colonizing Rus
sian Jews in Argentina has been abandoned;
in fact there seems to be an entire misap-
prehension of the position. The late Baron
Hirsch, who spent his wealth on a lavish
scale for the benefit of his prosecuted COM
patriots was most anxious that the sufferers
should be got out of Russia as quickly as
possible, and with that object in ciew
large number of Jewish families were con-
veyed to the Argentine colonies. In the
course of time it was discovered, as was only
natural, that some OF the colonists found 1t
difficult to adapt themselves to their new
surroundings; and moreover, great trouble
was caused by swarms Of locusts which came
time after time and devoured the crops.
I'm the light of experience 1t was decided,
as was shown by the report of the council
of administration, translation of which was
published in the Jewish Chronicle not to
send any more families to Argentina until
the existence of the colonies is assured and
consolidated. Meanwhile, the association has
interested itself in the instruction of the
young in the Jewish agricultural colonies
which exist in Russia, and further, the
report states, it has entered a number Of
young Russian Jews in the agricultural
schools at Jaffa and Djedeida, founded by the
Alliance Israelite Universelle. a good agri-
cultural education will be Of great value
to these young men,"

! him, the magnificent spectacle as in a
panorama of the life of humanity
stretching from the most distant past
and through the present extending into
futurity. The founder believes that
worship should be placed upon the
footing Of common sense, and institut-
ed, not constituted, the religion Of hu-
manity"
This church is the beginning and end
Of Comte's great scheme for the con-
version of the world, and yet large
congregation follows the teachings of
the founder every Sunday.
1t has been developed that one of
the most regular articles of export
though it finds no place among the
customs figures, is human flesh. The
slave trade between Pakhei and Hong
Kong-tTe latter in large measure, 1
believe, as point of transhipment for
Canton-has long been such as to scan
dalize the Chinese prefeetural authori-
ties. The numerous kidnappers who
mainly supply it are generally well
known, but no sort of measures are
taken against them, which is not sur
prising in view of the fact that hardly
a single petty official takes a steamer
passage for Canton without including
among his belongings set of small
girls, who seem to fetch much higher
prices there than here.
The developments of the -'penny-in-
the-sIot'' system have been many and
diverse, hut none have appealed to
quite so practical a demand as one
shown recently to an invited company
a the Crystal palace, wticn, if reaIiz-
ing one quarter even of the claims put
forth on its behalf will effect little
short of a revolution in working class
domestic economy. In the fewest pos
sfble words, the problem has been
worked cut of utilizing the heat gen.
Grated by the ordinary gas lamp Of the
streets for the purpose Of warming
water to the boiling point. and an in
huential syndicate has been formed to
turn to useful account a discovery of
so many possibilities. Calculations
show that a sum Of a quarter of a
million sterling is expended annually
on the gas Illumination Of the London
streets, and it is urged that if the heat
of only tenth of the lamps in use
were turned to account no less than
one hundred and twenty millions OF
gallons of boiling water could be made
available at q commercial profit at a
cost of haIfpeany a gallon TO the
public
The idea, it should be explained, has
been carried far beyond the merely
theoretical stage. Fer the past four
months there has been in full working
order at the Crystal Palace an exact
model of an ordinary street refuge"
lamp of six gas Jets, which has sup
piled as much as 125 gallons of boiling
water to the staIl-holdsrs and frugal
excursionists glad 10 be able 60 make
their own tea. The idea has been
