that they could not paee. The COM
plant was not so much as to the de-
tention as 1t was to the fact that the
regulations Of the War Department.
prescribing the manner of notifying
captains Of vessels as to the condition

A Gas explosion.

Mr. johnson, barkeeper at the
Holman House was badly burned
last evening through an explosion
OF gas. The man carelessly went
into the room in the cellar where
the gas is being manufactured, with
lighted lamp in his hand he un-
screwed part OF the machine, and
the. gas escaping from il exploded
burning his face and hands. Mr..
Lawrence Dee, the owner OF the
Hoffman House, while regretting the
injury to his employee, is very
pleased with the gas plant, from
which his premises are lighted.
"There is absolute no danger in
the acetylene gas" says Mr. Dee,
sand the machinery is constructed
in such a manner that, with ordinary
care, no accident can occur. II it
was like the gasoline plants formerly
used here the whole building would
have been wrecked and Mr.. Johnson
blown into atoms. II people will
sit on powder key and light pipe
there is of course all possible
chance of an explosion, but the
powder is not to blame for that, nor
is the acetylene gas to blame for the
unfortunate accident yesterday"
Mr.. johnson, although badly
burned, is not dangerously hurt, and
is not even confined to his bed.

The First Teacups.

Even after tea was introduced in
to Europe and had come into general
use teacups we're scarce. At the
same time coffee was introduced;
but, apart from Constantinople, the
first coffee cups in Europe date back
only as far as 1916 in Venice, 1853 in
Paris, 1862 in London and 1894 in
Lei psic. From the first, however,
the conventional oriental coffee cup,
without stem or handle, was little
used, and in Germany not at all.
The Chinese teacup was used for
tea, coffee and chocolate as we'll

again, as collecting porcelain is {

DR.. Evans, a witty member OF the

A GREEK CITY UNEAsTHED.- -
Private letters Just received by a
correspondent of the New York
Tribune orIng news Of most impor-
tant discoveries made by the Ger
man arch9ologists excavating on
the site Of the ancient Priene, in
Asia Minor. opposite the island OF
Samos. Years ago an English ex-
pedition eXcavated and studied the
Temple Of Athena, the chief sane
tuary of the CITY, built at the order
OF Alexander the Great. The work
was then abandoned, and mean
while the ruins have been so thor
oughly exploited and wasted by
the neighboring population that
nothing is lett but confused heap
OF stones. In 1905 the work OF ex-
plorIng the ruins of the city was re-
sumed. this time by Germans under
the direction of the Berlin Museum
and at the expense OF the Prus sian
Government. The architectural
work has Been placed in the hands
Of the young architect Wilhelm
Wilberg, a former student and as
sistant Of DR.. Dorfeld. The work
has now proceeded far enough to
determine its extraordinary impor
tance. A buried city preserved
almost in the completeness Of Pom
peil is coming to light Up to this
time no Greek city has been eX-
cavated that gives any clue to the
arrangement OF streets, public
squares, monuments and public
buildings, or to the architecture Of
any considerable number OF private
houses. Here We find a city,
TO be sure, Of The Hellenistic
period, laid out with great regular
ity, with streets crossing at
right angles, with shops, colon
nades, market places. theatres, a
council house, and a great number
OF private houses preserved in such
completeness as to display their
general architecture, distribution
OF space, use, decoration, and
equipment. South OF the great
square OF the temple alluded to
above. and closely adjoining it, has
been found the great market place
or agora Of the CITY, which was sur
rounded on all four sides by broad
colonnad S, OF which that on the
north side was peculiarly nc hle and
stately. Adjoining this at one end,
and opening at one corner Of the
agora, was found a small square
building constructed somewhat
like theatre, which was evi Iently
the council house of the city Ii is
marvellously we'll preserved. Six
teen rows Of seats are still in place.
The walls, doors, windows, plat
| forms, &C., are all reserved. One
OF the side walls ends in a massive
az ch, which as being demonStrably
a work oi the fourth century b. c.,
must rank as the earliest, or at least
one of the few earliest, specimens OF
t arch in Greek construction.
The whole building represents
omething entirely urique in the
relics OF Greek architecture. There
has also been found a small theatre
in which the stage structure, the
skene, is still standing entire.
Three doors open from it upon the
orchestra. and the Proscenium,
with its rows cf columns and the
architrave above them. remains in
tact No Greek theatre as yet dis.
covered is so perfectly preserved
as this, and in the future discus.

structure is likely to assume lead
ing place.

DUTCH EEL FlsHlNG.-An anci-
ent Greek is said to have remarked
to some Egyptians, you Egypt.
ians worship the eel as a deity.
Your idol is my idol too, l adore
him in a dish" Very much mys-
terry hung about eels for centuries
as to whether he was oviparous OF
viviparous, but light seems TO hsv
been shed on this subject by the
microscope and the researches OF
such men as Rathke, who in 1898
confirmed the discoveries OF Mon
DIM, Of Bologna, and O F. Muller
that they were oviparous. The
male eel was not discovered until
1875 by SyrskI, who says the male
eel is smaller than the female, being
rarely met with over IS inches
long, and that he is only found in
brackish water or the sea. Then
again it is said that minute eels
have been found in ponds not con-
nected with streams, which seems
to point to the supposition that
there must be race OF landlocked
eels. Curious old beliefs still cling,
for even now there are county
people in England who believe that
eels are generated from short
lengths OF hair from a horses tail.
The Dutch supply of eels is i'm
porsant, and handily accounts
Tor that bit Of the picturesque
seen Just of Billingsgate, "thc
Dutch eel boats" They are al
ways there, the belief being that if
the Dutch eel companies ceased to
occupy the moorings which they
have held tor over century they
would lose the right. The eel
fishing industry is carried on in
very systematic manner IN Hol-
land, there being so many water
ways suitable to the eel. Every
second Dutchman is boatman or
fisherman. During the fishing
season all the small waterways are
searched by small boats and the
catch kept in the wells Of these
boats till the big collecting boats
-"Tialks"-coming along take
from each village boatman or boat
men the catch till they reach Sta
voren, where their cargoes are
transferred TO still bigger craft
which are to bring them to Bill
lingsgate. II is an interesting
sight TO watch the transierence
near the locks at Stavoren. The
eels are scooped out Of big tanks
Occupying the centre OF the boat
by hand nets into baskets and
emptied into the wells in which
they are to be brought to London.
