The explosion in the Winter
Quarter coal mine at Scofield,
Utah, last week was one of the
most terrible in the history of the
country. The number of dead
has now reached $50. Almost
the entire male population of the
town was wiped out, and the sym
pathy of the entire country is
aroused in behalf of the stricken
families. The cause of the dis
aster will probably never be def.
nitely known, as all who could
tell the story were killed. How
ever, a rigid investigation should
be made a. to the cause of the
explosion, and the responsibility
should be fixed, if only for the
purpose Of avoiding such catas-
trophies in the future.

Advance in Farm Products.

Next to the wage Garner, the class
most benefited by the revival of pros
perity under republican administra-
tion is the farmers. The general
rise in prices In all agricultural pro-
ducts has transformed their industry
from depression to thrift. Experts
have estimated that the products of
agriculture last year were worth a
billion and half dollars more than
any year during the Cleveland-Wil-
son depression from 1892 to 1896. This
is an average increase Of 81 per cent.
Live stock in general has gained in
value 80 per cent, and crops show an
increase Of 25 per cent. The products
Of live stock, including meats, dairy
products, etc, have increased 40 per
cent over the lowest point during the
period mentioned. Horses have in
creased one third, cattle about 40 per
cent, and sheep have about doubled
in value. In values of farm lands
there is decidedly upward tendency
and sales are far more numerous, as a
result of better prices for farm pro-
ducts, and the number and amount
Of mortgages are materially decreas-
ed.
A brighter day has dawned for the
farmers Of America, and the restless,
panicky class Of agriculturists who in
1895 were prone to believe in free sill
yer as panacea for their ills, are now
contented and happy and confirmed
in the belief that protection and pros
perity 60 hand in hand and that
sound money and confidence are
the foundation of all industrial prog
ress.

Most kinds of clay contain a consid-
cradle proportion of iron. The red col
or Of bricks, for example, is due to the
presence of oxides of iron. Whenever
an object nodded of clay is baked at
the temperature of the pOtter's furnace
in the presence of a magnetic field or
influence, the otherwise homogeneous
clay shows when cooled traces of mag
netism in a definite direction. This in
herent magnetism is sufficient to show
the direction and give an idea as to the
intensity Of the magnetizing force that
acted while the clay was in the fur
mace.
This peculiar property has been used
to solve some questions of great inter-
est to scientific people in general. An
accurate knowledge Of the direction Of
the earth's magnetic force in early his
torical times has been deduced by sew
eral Italian physicists from study of
the traces of magnetism shown by Etru
rian vases and other objects of clay
exhumed from old tOmbs. The con-
clusion reached is that the direction Of
the earth's magnetic field has varied
very greatly in the 5000 or 5000 years
represented by the age Of the objects

A good story is told about how two
prospectors had saltcd Il mine in the
Galena district VI order to rob cou-
pie of rich widows, which resulted In
the aforesaid widows becoming much
weather..
The prospectors had spent their last
! cent in digging hole in the ground to
the extent of 60 feet without striking
anything but yellow clay. But one Of
them knew of two rich widows who
were Just spelling to have their money
sunk in a mine. Accordingly they
spent two nights In sailing their mine.
They hadn't sufficient money to buy
some paying dirt, but they stole this
from a neighboring mine and hauled a
lot Of it over to dump into their mine.
When several tons of this paying dirt"
had accumulated in the bottom Of their
mine, the widows were sent for, and
while one was talking about the in
creasing value of the district the other
was dumping out all kinds Of lead and
zinc ore before their astonished eyes.
The widows bought half interest in
that hole in the ground for 1900. The
next day there was no more ore in the
shaft, and the fellows declared they
would dig no longer. Then the widows
bought the other half interest at total
cost Of $4,000, and the men hiked out
for Missouri, laughing in their sleeves.
But the women, blindly believing that
there must be more ore continued
with the digging and at a depth Of ten
additional feet struck the richest vein
of the whole belt, realizing $4,000 in
less than one years time.-Kansas City

ford at Indianapolis.
indianapolis, June 12.-An escaped
murderer and lunatic attempted to
take the life of Fremont Afford, Grim
inal judge of this (AIarion) county, and
Prosecutor Edwin B. Pugh. The
would-be assassin was George w. Ben
nett, who escaped from the hospital
for the insane Saturday. Bennett en-
tered the court room shortly after
court convened and attracted the court
by his lncoherent talk. Judge Afford
started to the telephone when he
found Bennett at his back with a re-
volver pointed at his (Alford's) head.
Judge Afford gave the alarm and
sprang toward his private room with
the man after him.
Here Prosecutor Pugh appeared and
Bennett turned on him. A policeman
came running up and caught the fall
of the revolver's hammer on his thumb
in time to save Pugh. 1t took four
men to OverpOwer Bennett, although
he has but one arm. 1t is said Ben
nett lost his mind over labor troubles.
Bennett killed two men at Lafayette
in 1889, was sent to prison and after
wards transferred to the insane aSy-
lum.
