what an Explosion would Mean.

Should the fire reach the under
ground magazine, terrific explosion,
which would effectually shake the
workings with debris and entomb the
miners beyond any hope of rescue,
should they escape the flames and
smoke, is inevitable. The amount Of
dynamite stored underground is con-
sidered sufficient to dislodge several
hundred tons of rock. The origin of
the fire is unknown.

who pursued the trade OF diamond
smuggling for fifteen years and was
able to retire TO respectability. He
was buyer for one OF the large business
houses in New York, and his business
sent him TO Europe two, three and
sometimes four times year. Every
time he returned he had with him from
$4,000 to $4,000 worth of gems which
he did not declare.
His trick was perfect simplicity
combined with ingenious boldness. His
hair was scanty, and at the top of his
head he had a most delightful little
bald spot. Customs officers as they
came and went all knew him, and as
they knew him he had a most pro-
nounced wen where his other acquaint-
ances saw bald spot. That wen was
a work of art. made of wax and gum,
