FOREKOLD FULL
OF COAL GAS
Lighted Match Caused ExpIo-
sion on British Steamer.
SEAMAN WAS BADLY BURNED.
While Off Point Judith the Big Collier Had
aRarroW Escape From Total
Destruction.

John Casey. a seaman on the British
tramp steamer Mantinea, was very seri-
ously, II not fatally, burned shortly be-
fore 9 o'clock yesterday morning by the
explosion OF co... as in the forehold OF
the steamer
The ship was headed for the east pas
sage and was about five miles from Point
Judith when the explosion occurred. She
was bound for Fall River with a cargo of
Welsh coal. % days from Cardiff. Pilot
Tai Dodge was taken on off the Southeast
light on Block Island.
In preparation for entering port sail
or named John Casey was sent into the
forehold to get out the hawsers slowed
there. Casey had been In the forehold but
n few moments when an explosion that
shook the ship from stem TO stern took
place, preceded by rumbling noise and
followed by the bursting of the hatch COW
ers and a shower of coal that few sever
al feet In the air and sheet of flame that
for a moment seemed to envelop the ves-
sci.
The fire call was sounded and the fire
quickly extinguished. The explosion
was caused by Casey lighting match in
the hold. which being filled with gas
from the coal an explosion followed.
Casey was badly burned about the face,
head and hands, all parts of his body not
protected by the oilsklns he wore being
scorched All the hair was burned off his
head and his face and hands were Sc
verely burned. Doubts are expressed OF
Caseys recovery. He Is 30 years old
Pilot Tai Dodge gives the following ac-
count OF the affair:
Il boarded the Mantinea at about
o'clock In the morning off the Southeast
light. All went we'll until we arrived al a
point a few miles southeast OF Point Ju-
dith. At that time | stood on the bridge
with the mate and the little daughter OF
the captain. We were steaming along a
moderate rate OF speed, when without an
instants warning other than rumbling
like thunder. the fore matches few off and
a stream OF fire shot into the air that
made me think OF the blowing up of the
Maine in Havana harbor. In a few sec
onds big Jumps Of coal began to rain
down on the deck. one lumb as big
my head landed on the bridge a few feet
from where I was standing.
'The wind was blowing behind us. or
without any question II would have car
ried the fire aft and then IL would have
been all up with every one OF US As q
was the coolness Of the crew and officers
prevented a spread OF the fire. when they
brought Casey, the sailor who had lighted
the match In the hold. on deck he was a
fearful sight: his head was swollen terri
bly, and every bit OF hair was burnt from
his head"

RICE CULTURE.

Some Fine Points About the Growth
Of this Great Cereal.
The reason that the Japenese aa.s
so muscular is that they do not polish
their rice. In American mills the out.
side coating of the rice kernel IL
rubbed The process is as follows !:
LIST. This outer husk is removed. End.
The bran, just within the husk, is re-
moved. 3rd. The solid kernel Is
then rubbed, to remove the rough por.
TEN surface and To- give the kernel
a gloss. This IL called polishing and
the material removed is called polish,
one of the most nutricious substances
in all the cereals. Polishing removes
more than three-fouth Of the fiber
material. In Japan. China and India
polishing is not done, except for for
Feign markets.
The Japenese army In the advance
on Peking out-footed the armies of
Russia, German, England. France and
America. The Japenese soldier Is fed
ON rice, with ration Of beans and
fish. He can double-quick for four.
teen hours and repeat it for days.
The Japenese OF Chinese may be
shot through the body and IL NO vital
pat is cut, they scarcely notice the
wound.
tii2e Is an article that Is sold en-
tirely on it's appearance, although we
are candid to say that the unpublished
rice contains more nutriment.
But the public demands polished
rice, and we have to give it to them.
You could probably make arrang-
ments to buy unpublished rice IL you
desire it. Rice is the greatest food
in the world.
Fresh Glynn county unpublished rice
Is now on sale by J. NJ. Burnett.
