ONE HUNDRED MAY BE DEAD
AN AWFUL DISASTER IN THE
 SMUGGLER-UNTON MINE.
Twenty-two Bodies Already Found These Taken from tho Seventh Level Seventy five to Ninety Men Were Working on the Ninth Level Which Has Not Yet Been Explored.

Telluride, Col, Nov. 2o.-What is likely to prove the most disastrous ac- cident that has ever occurred in a metallic mine in Colorado, resulted to- buildings at the mouth of the bullion tunnel, through which the Smuggler- mine with deadly gas and smoke. It is impossible to give even an approxi- mate estimate of the loss of life. but it is believed that it will reach nearly, if not quite, one hundred. Twenty-two certainly known to have pefished.
 Seventeen of the twenty-two bodies found were found on the seventh level. Between seventy-five and ninety men were working on the ninth level and this has not yet been explored. On ac- count of the gas and smoke these levels could not be entered because of the danger of suffocation for twelve hours after the flames started.
 The fire started early this morning
 
 at the mouth of the tunnel It quickly communicated with the other buildings The dense smoke from the burning con vert house, which was saturated with oil began pouring into the tunnel which, with the shafts of the mine, act ed as a chimney.
 Tie day shift had just gone on duty and before they could be warned of their danger the levels and the slopes were filled with gas.
 As soon as they became aware of their danger efforts were made to reach the surface, through various exits. and about half of those in the mine escaped. It will be impossible to ascertain the number still in the mine for several hours on account of the gas in some of the levels.
 The Smuggler-Unio mine is one of the oldest in the district and has sev- eral abandoned open lgs, some of which were available. Most of those who escaped did so through the old Union workings and the old Sheridan tunnel.
 A rescuing party cut a connection through from the Commission workings and took out some of the men.
 Although the buildings were partially the dense smoke continued to pour into the tunnel and it was not until late this afternoon that 1t occur red to the management to shut off the draft by blasting rock into the tunnel. It is believed by mining men that had this been done as soon as the fire start ed all loss of life might have been averted, The property loss Is about $50, 900, fully, covered by insurance.

HARyARD,s LAST HARD PRACTICE
Work of Backh kheId Excellent but That
 of tho Line Poor.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 20.-This af-
 ternoon Harvard had her last day of hard football practice. After the usual preliminary work and short signal practice of about a quarter of an hour the varsity played two halves of twen- ty minutes each against the second eleven. scoring three touchdowns in the first half and one in the second. Cap- tain Campbell and Blagden got into the line again for short time and showed no lack of form. Barnard and Mar shall were both laid off for rest, not however on account of injuries The work of the backfield to-day was excel lent. The men were fast and accurate and the different formations went off very smoothly A great deal of kicking was done again to-day and the punts were fully as good as yesterday. The work of the line was not satisfactory. The linemen have shown streaks of poor playing every day this week and are causing no little anxiety to the coaches. Leo Daly was played in Mar shal's place to-day. He will be sub stitute quarterback instead of Baldwin on account of his ability in drop kick ing The second eleven broke training tonight with their usual celebration. After the practice the second eleven and the varsity cheered each other long and loud and all old scores between the players were settled Twelve coaches were out to-day, Haughton, Jack Hal lowell, Cochrane, J. Lawrence, Reid, Wrightington and Lewis being in togs.

Nichols, Freyer and Land rushed the ball forward and Land scored the first touchdown after five minutes of play.

Nowhere is the comparison between
an ounce Of prevention and a pound OF
cure more applicable than in the care Of
the eyes. For the neglect Of seemingly
trivial affections, perfectly durable In
their beginnings, may lead In an incredi-
bly, short time to permanent impairment
Of vision or even to total blindness. The
care of the eyes should begin with the
moment of birth. The new baby's eyes
should be the first part to receive atten-
ton. They should be wiped carefully with
a piece of absorbent cotton wet with
q warm solution of borc acid of a
strength Of about 90 grains In four ounces
Of distilled water. After the lids have
been thus carefully washed on the outside
they should be gently separated and some
Of the solution dropped into the eyes.
In washing the eyes one should be care
full never to dip again In the solution
piece Of cotton which has once been used.
A fresh piece must be taken each time
the eyes are wiped.
The baby's eyes must be protected from
the light. Its crib should be placed where
the eyes are not exposed to the full light
from a window, and the carriage should
have a shade raised only about a foot
above the baby's head.
Children often suffer from inflammation
OF the edges of the lids, which are red
and scaly, and the lashes fall out and
break of. This may betoken a general
scrofulous condition, or it may depend
upon some defect In the sight which
causes eye strain, or 1t may be only To-
cal trouble. IL 1t In only a local trouble,
a few applications OF boric acid ointment
at bedtime will generally effect a cure.
Conjunctivitis, or inflammation OF the
membrane covering the globe of the eye
may be due to a cold, to the action OF
bright sunlight or reflection from water
or from snow or TO eye strain from some
visual imperfection. Usually the boric
acid solution will give relief here, even
when the trouble cannot be permanently
cured until proper glasses are worn.
Another painful consequence Of eye
strain is a succession Of sites. When a
child suffers frequently from sites, from
sore lids or from conjunctiyitis, the sight
should be tested.
Much harm is often done to the eyes,
as well as to the general health, by too
long application to books. either school OF
