THE TUNNEL EXPLOSION.

New York Officials Investigating.
 Loss Placed at $1,OOO.OOO.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-District At torney Jerome is pushing his investiga- ton of the explosion in Park avenue. Assistant District Attorney Rand is ex- amining witnesses as rapidly as possi- ble. So far as the investigation has gone it shows that it was dynamite that exploded and that the explosion was caused by fire in the powder house. There was no other explosive in the house at the time.
 The explosion was one of the worst catastrophes that has ever visited the city and will be put down as one of the calamities foremost in the destluc- ton of property. Conservative esti- mates place the damage to property in the neighborhood of $1 100000.
 That the death list is comparatively so small is matter for congratulation and seems hardly less than miraculous, for hundreds of people had the narrow. est escapes from being killed outright.
 The number killed outright was six. The number injured was 154, according to latest reports.

venice,a old PaIacex.

Very few of the fine old palaces of Venice belong to the descendants of the families who built and originally occupied them. Very little of the enormous wealth for which Venice was celebrated in the fifteenth century re- mains. The most of it has been dis sipated by the descendants of the men who made it, the same as in England, France and other countries. The rich men of Venice to-day are an entirely new class of people, whose names do not appear in the Golden Book, which contained list of the patrician fam flies in Venice who were invited to fes- tivities at the palace. This book was Instituted in 1915, and thenceforth, un- til the Austrian occupation, was the index and standard of nobility by which all claims to precedents were 6ecided.-Chicago Record-Herald.

WHEN QUAY LET LOOSE

Senator Quay of Pennsylvania is not a laughing man. He rarely lets any thing move him beyond the twinkle ln his eye. but a Florida farmers i'm pression regarding him made him let loose.'' The senator. returning from fishing trip to his bungalow at St Lucie, Fla, rode in an accommodation train. and the farmer sat beside him and questioned him. Quay's knowledge of countryside gossip proved limited and discouraging.
 Don't belong in these parts, do yer said the farmer. Don't know much about Florida, do yer"
 T have been here several times in my wanderings," said Quay.
 'sAnd what might be the reason ye air wanderin'T'
 T am trying to ameliorate the condi- tion of man-the inner man," replied Quay, soiemnly.
 The farmer removed to another seat and remarked to the man beside whom he sat: .sTalked to thet feller back thar a good bit fore found out he was one Q them dern faith healers.' NeW York Times.

Practical Mary.

George was of poetical disposition, and as he sat with Mary the other aft ernoon inhaling the balcony air he ex- claimed:
 "Oh, darling, is it not heavenly to behold nature in all her glory? To see the cerulean vault above and the earth carpete6 with grass and howers?"
 Yes, George" replied the young lady, land the bulk of those flowers you refer to are dandelions, the leaves of which, if pulled when young, well washed and boiled with piece of good fat pork, make the most delicious greens in the world.''
 This was not exactly the view that George expected her to take of the situation; but, all things considered, he might do worse than marry her. Chicago Journal.

Rests With United States.
 WASHINGTON, Jan 29.-At the Cu- ban reciprocity hearings yesterday be- fore the ways and means committee delegations representing the beet sug- ar industry of Colorado and num- Der of Cubans representing the plant CTS of the island were in attendance.
 The first speaker was F. K. Carey of Colorado, who spoke of the bright pros poets if not endangered by Cuban con- sessions which, he asserted, would re- dound to the great advantage of the American Sugar Refining company. The present movement, he said was only another chapter in the ineyita ble conflict between the domestic sugar producers of this country and the re- fning company, the latter seeking to crush the former.
 K. B. Machado, head of the delega- ton of Cuban planters, said in part:
 "The Platt amendment, attached as an appendage to our constitution, chained the Cubans to this country to such an extent that we are powerless to help ourselves or to develop our in- ternal life because the pathways for dealing with outsiders are closed to us. Therefore Cuba must starve if necessary without even the right to ask for relief.
 Ut has been said here that the Gu bans have the cheek to knock at your door for aims like beggars. The Gu bans will be eternally grateful to you for giving us our liberty even with the Platt amendment, but that does not mean we are eternally forbidden to come to you and that your final word has been said in Cuba. As we have no personality, at whose doors shall we knock?"
 Mr. Machado spoke of Cuba as mill tary defense of the gulfs. Guns on Mor. TO Castle were more effective than at the mouth of the Mississippi river, so that if the international interests of the United States ever required the Amer ican eagle to keep her claws there Mir. Machado asked if it was not a natural duty to look to Cubas welfare and not her ruin
 The other members Of the delegation of Cuban planters--G George R. Fowler. Joaquin Piedra, Octavio Smith and Oc- tavio Davis-were heard at the after noon session, their statements being along the same general lines as those of Chairman Machado
 Commissioner Degetau, the repre- sentative of Porto Rico in Washington. made brief sdatement to the effect that Porto Rico opposed the reduction of duty to Cuba as likely to be a men, ace to Porto Rico sugar exports. AL ready Cuba had placed a SIP duty on Porto Rico coffee, thus 1njuring that trade, so reliance was now placed in a continuance of the sugar trade.

KING OF BELGIUM.

What an up-to-date monarch the King of the Belgians is! He is one or the hardest-worked and hardest head ed men in all Europe; and though he is no longer young, and has White beard of almost patriarchal length and responsibility, he is so alert that It IS impossible to think of him except as in the very prime of life.
 He gets up at o'clock in the morn ing, winter and summer, and by [ o'clock he has read, digested and an- notated all his vast correspondence. Sometimes he reads his letters in his study, but if the weather be at all de- cent he gets out into the beautiful park at his place at Laeken and reads them as he walks up and down. Exercise. hard work, sobriety Tn eating and drinking. these are his sources of health and vitality.
 Few Brussels shopkeepers of good position live more simply than the sovereign of Belgium. At 8 o'clock he has a few grapes, peach and little chocolate. At noon he takes what is called on the continent his second breakfast; 1t consists of scrambled eggs. trump steak and a Hamburg fillet "a favorite and special dish of his and some spinach.
 Dinner is at the early and unfash- ionable hour of G. and it consists of souD, small entree. a bit of roast beef, partridge when in season, aspar- agus and a little fruit. He drinks just three glasses of wine, never more, and it is always a still wine: cham pagne never passes his lips.
 As everybody knows, the King of the Belgians is now one of the most ardent deyoteeS of the motor car. In 13 minutes. exactly, every morning when he is at Laeken he traverSes the distance between there and his palace in Brussels. There is story of his chauffeur" being recently threatened with arrest by an honest and jealous police officer not because of the dan ger to the foot passengers, the courier official hastened to explain, but be- cause such speed was sure to cause an accident to the king himself
 Tn commercial enterprises the king is said to be the best business man in his kingdom. He has made one big fortune in the Congo and I believe there are few enterprises of large and sub- Stantlal cnafdcteT III HIS OWL hlASuoHI in which he does not take quiet hand. It is a favorite saying in Brussels that 1t ia great pity the king cannot be his own country's chancellor of the ex- chequer.
 And that is how we make kings in this modern time. It almost seems as if the saying attributed to the king when he was & youngster were com ing true-that kings will soon be chosen by competitive examination

THE CARE OF LAMPS.

Lamps are both useful and orna- mental, but a certain amount of care must be given them, so that they will do their utmost toward lighting the home in the best manner. Daily care should be given to them, and to do this in the best manner there should be certain tools provided for the pur- pose, and these tools should not be used in any other way.
 First of all, provide a tray sufficient ly large to hold all the necessary ar ticles. as well as two or three lamps. Clean cloth for washing the chimneys and one for drying them, some soft paper for rubbing off the charred por- tion of the wick, a pair of sharp scis- sors for cutting loose threads and a box containing two or three wicks that have been boiled in vinegar, so that they are ready for immediate use.
 Irregular care is almost as bad as no care at all. The lamps should be kept perfectly clean, and they should be filled every day without fail, or else they should not be used. 4 partly filled lamp is the lamp that is apt to explode If the wick is rubbed clean every day there will not be danger of broken or smoked chimneys. that will surely occur with a neglected lamp.
 A small dishpan should always be kept for washing the different parts of. the lamp. A soft cloth and plenty of soap will keep the chimney in good order.
 Let certain nart of the day be set aside for this daily duty and when all the task has been accomplished, put all the necessary articles on the tray where they belong and put the tray at once i'll its place. where it will be ready for the next days work
 For a reading lamp one should be selected with a spreading shade. The round globes that are now so gener- ally shown are more ornamental than useful. and, while they are very pret- tv for the parlor or sitting room. the library should be provided with lamp that will give out clear, strong light.
 A ~rean shade is best for the eyes. and this should always be well con- sidered before the purchase is made. Never purchase a yellow shade for q reading lamp, for the li"ht is almost as trying as when a white shade is nsed. Many persons become nause- ated when red livhts are freely used. and q blue shade gives a cold light that is not always pleasant.
 For Kitchen the best lamp is one that can be fastened on the wall with a reflector placed back of it. These may he nnrchased at q moderate price and sho,1ld he llsed in averv kitchen where tho ioht is not sufficiently good to be satisfactory.

Admiral seh1ey In Kentucky.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Jan. 29.-Rear Admiral Schley, who, under the chap eronage of the board of trade and the Knights Templars, will be Louisville's guest until Friday next, arrived here over the Monon road at 7:15 o'clock last evening. He was greeted by an admiraPs salute and a shouting crowd of many hundreds at the depot. He was escorted to his carriage by the full committee representing his hosts and was driven to the residence of Marion B. Taylor, president of the board of trade. Here the admiral and Mrs. Schley spent quiet evening. The trip from Chicago was one long oya- ton.
