of being man-eaters, which makes

then poured oil over them. Then he
quickly got them on deck, and, with
the aid of a pair of tongs, he threw

first one had scarcely struck the top

swallowed it whole. The scorching
brick inside naturally made him feel
as though there was a volcano in

the hot bricks was swallowed by a

the magazines, which fact was report
ed to Capt. Sigsbee and entered in the
records.
Some thought this was occasioned
by spontaneous combustion in one of
the coal bunkers and which subse.
quently exploded one of the maya,
zines. Such combustion is known to
be liable to occur, especially when
vessels are lying in tropical waters.
A British man-of-war had previously
been exploded by fire from spontane-
Gus combustion reaching one of the
magazines.
Now comes the mysterious explos'
ion of a Chinese warship of large
dimensions. She went to the bottom
in about the same time as the Maine,
and although the total loss OF life was
not so great as on the American ship,
it was relatively higher, as only two
escaped. The Kai Chin was an up-to'
date ship, having been built in 1884,
and she resembled the Maine in many
particulars.
Courier Democrat. (Langdon, N.D.) 1891-1920, 1902-07-31

Recently there has been good deal
of quiet discussion among naval men
concerning the explosion of the
Maine, excited by the news which
arrived from China that the warship
Kai Chin exploded and sank within
thirty second while lying in the Yang
tse-Kiang river, killing $50 officers
and men.
The explosion Of the Maine was
one of the most mysterious affairs
that ever happened in naval history.
Notwithstanding the report OF the
board of inquiry into the manner OF
her loss, there are naval officers who
maintain that the cause of the ex-
plosion of the Maine has never been
cleared up. They say that no positive
evidence was adduced to show that
the Maine was exploded from the out
side, although the report of the board
pointed out many significant facts
which supported this contention.
On the other hand there was some
evidence tending to show that the
explosion was of interior origin.
Among this was the fact that about
half an hour before the explosion
there was an unaccountable and sud

She Protected Her chaperon.

The chaperon is not so much of all
is in the east, and in some quarters
there are rather alazy ideas as to her
duties and responsibilities. One west
ern girl, the freedom of whose life
had made her exceptionally independ-
ent and self-reliant, gave an excellent
illustration of this at an eastern sum-
mer resort. She was under the pro-
tecting wing of an eastern patron
with very strict ideas Of propriety.
The matron found her charge one day
sitting on the hotel veranda with a
strange man, and naturally she was
perturbed. She took a chair reason
ably near them, to give the girl a
chance to present the young man, but
the girl ignored her. Finally, in des-
peration, the matron tried to instruct
the girl by signals what to do, but
the latter only smiled and shook her
bead.
When the young man left the ma.
iron asked who he was.
ooh, he's from Denver" answered
the girl.

who are proper acquaintance for a
