BURNING MOUNTAIN
In Colorado That naS Desn on Fire One
Hundred Yenra.


Newcastle, Colo, Special to Kansas
City World; A mountain, which has
been on fire for more than 100 years 10
situated Just west of here. So close ia
1t that its shadow envelopes the town
at o D. m, at this time Of the year, and
yet the people hereabouts think no
moro Of II than tho beautiful Grand
river which washes the feet OF the huge
pile where the fire has burned so long.
To the tenderfoot, however, the gilt
tering patches Of deep red fire, where
II breaks out on tho side OF the noun
tain, and Is exposed to view, there 10
nothing In all this state quito It's equal.
The fire is fed by big vein of coal
which tho mountain contains. Just
how the coal became ignited Ia not
known, The Oldest resident says II
was on fire when he came here, and the
Ute Indians, who once lived In this sec
ton, say 1t was burning many years
before the first white IN crossed the
continental divide The supposltlon is
that the coal was ignlttd by n forest
fire at an early date In the present CEN
tury, II has smouldered and steadily
burned until this day, At night when
the moon is dark Is the best time to see
the fire, Then II Is that II resembles
the regions Of inferno as given us In
the word-palntlng OF Dante. The earth
covering the coal Is loosened by the
heat and falls away, exposing the sheet
of fire. The escaping gas probably as
slsts In stripping Off the rocks and dirt,
and wherever the vein Of coal ap-
proaches the surface the fire can be
seen. The first fire suw was fully 80
feet square. II had peculiar red tint,
while the burning gas coming up at the
base Of the coal vein, added bright
blue coloring to the scene. In many
places the surface OF the mountain has
sunken, showing where the fire has
burned out It's course. Efforts have
been made to eXtlnguish the fire. Some
time ago a company which owns a
large amount OF coal land here, con-
structed ditch from point several
miles above the mountain into which
1t succeeded in turning the water
which goes to form Elk creek Prevl-
ously a shaft had been sunk In the
mountain, and into this shaft the water
was permitted to flow. The shaft was
soon filled, but the iire was above the
level Of the water, and the effort was
a failure.

Feet into Sand,
From Pearson's Weekly: did you
bvor see the diameter OF lightning
lash measured?" asked q geologlst OF
tho writer. well, here is the case
which once inclosed q fash OF lightning
dtting II exactly, so that you can see
Just how big II was. This Is called q
'fulgurlte or lightning hole and tho
material 1t Is made Of Is glass, will
tell you how 1t was manufactured,
though 1t only took fraction OF a Sec
ond to turn II out. Wnen q bolt of
lightning strikes bed OF sand II
plunges downward into tho sand for Il
distance less or greater, transforming
simultaneously into glass the silica in
the material through which II passes.
Thus, by Its great heat II forms q glass
tube Of precisely Its own size. Now
and then such tube, known as 'ful-
gurite,' Is found and dug up. Fulgur7L
ties havo been followed into sand by
excavation for nearly thirty feet. They
vary In interior diameter from tho size
OF quill to three inches or more, ac-
cordlng to the bore of the fash. But
fnlgurltes are not alono produced in
sand. They are found also In solid
rock, though very naturally Of slight
depth, and frequently existing merely
as q thin, CLASSY coating on tho sur
face. Such fulgurites occur in aston
ishing abundance on the summit OF
Little Ararat, in Armenia. The rock
is soft and so porous that blocks q foot
long can be obtained perforated In all
directions by little tubes, filled with
bottle-green glass formed from the
fused rock. There Is q small specimen
In the national museum which has the
appearance Of having been bored by the
teredo, and the holes made by the
worm subsequently filled with glass.
Some wonderful fulgurltes were found
by Humboldt on the high Nevada de
Toluca, in Mexico. Masses of the rock
were covered with q thin layer Of green
glass, Its peculiar simmer in the sun
led Humboldt to ascend the preci2ltous
peak at the risk Of his life."

EDUCATION IN EGYPT.
The Facilities and Pupils Are Increasing
Ench Ycnr

Each Year.
Education has made gratifying prog
ress, though the principle pursued has
for its present end few youths well
educated for the public service rather
than wider distribution Of primary
instruction. Still each year sees the
number of pupils increased, and an
advance along the line Of modern edu-
cation from the middle-age program
Of learning prevalent in all Moslem
schools. The people themselves have
shown a remarkable interest, and de-
mand more modern methods. Schools
supported by native subscription have
been opened for both boys and girls,
European teachers engaged, and gov
ernment inspection solicited What
may be taken as more indicative still
Of the new spirit abroad Is the fact
that the great I'll A2har university at
Cairo, the famous center of all OF
Islam's scholastic theology has ap-
piled for government teachers to teach

has indeed spread, for 1t was among
the followers Of this great school that
the most bitter opposition to the in
novations Of in6del foreigners used to
be found. Even now the government
can only afford school fund Of about
S5O0,000 annually and spends this for
the education OF only about 1900 fu-
ture civil servants. Outside Of this
100000 children attend the village
schools, supported by local Contrlbu-
tions and small grants made by the
government to such Of them as submit
to government inspection, and teach
a small amount Of modern reading,
writing, and arithmetic in addition to
the old lessons in the Koran and sa-
cred history. The result Of this work
is seen in the requirement that all ap-
plicants for positions in the govern
ment service shall have passed GER
tain examinations in the schools. The
work OF securing the best Of public
servants has thus been begun.-Har-

bathing in a tank on the outskirts Of
the city Of Gorakphur, was suddenly
attacked from behind. Thinking his
assailant was a pig, he (gosh Ike lalach
Sc, as Hindustani official loftily put
it, grappled with it and both rolled
over into the tank, where they had
bit Of rough and tumble. The assail-
ant turned out to be a large leopard.
He left the Gurkha something to re-
member him by In the shape Of a num-
ber of claw marks, and then proceeded
to invade the city, attacking and
woundlng number of persons on the
way, He finally took up his position
in a Kumbar house, situated in the
heart Of one OF the bazaars, quite close
to the principal octroi post, the Golbar.
Intimatlon of his presence was at once
sent to Mr.. Innes, the D. s. p, and to
Mr. w. Calnao, the collector. The
news also crept around the station and
q regular posse of other sahibs assem-
bled. Mr.. Calnan and Mr.. Innes got
on the roof Of the house where the ami
NAL was, and, by pulling off the tiles
and poking the animal with q long
pole, succeeded in shooting him. He
turned out to be a fine male leopard, In
most sleek condition, and measuring
seven feet three inches, During his
brief career in the city he had injured
no less than eleven persons, some Of
them very severely indeed. The lives
Of two men are despaired Of; one Of
them had, among other wounds, his ell
bow crushed from bite. Two men
had their eyes dislocated. A few wo-
men were badly scratched all over the
body. The good folk Of Gorakphur
were all keenly interested in the oc-
,currence. Hundreds Of them visited
Mr.. Innes' compound to inspect the
carcass, and large numbers also went
to the hospital to inspect the wounded.

BILE breeder, is an animal ribbed up,
well boned and barreled, such as might
hold his own for line and symmetry

there is q dash of finer fluid still--the

gotten under the open sky, he has
