Search for Victims of West Virginia
Mine Horror

THURMOND, w. Va, March 21-The
search for bodies of the victims of the ex-
plosions Saturday and Sunday in the Rush
Run and Redash mines continued to-day
Seven bodies have been taken from the
mine The progress of the workers is slow
because of the damage done to the mines,
debris having almost closed the tunnel in
several places.
1t has been impossible to reach the point
5000 feet from the mouth of the mine
where the first explosion occurred in which
thirteen miners were believed to have lost
their lives. The other dead were in the
rescuing party. Their bodies are now being
removed.

ANNUAL FLOOD SCARE
HEAVY RAINS IN PITTsBURa SEC
TON RAISE THE RIVERS.

PITTSBURG PA, March 21.-Another
and greater flood threatens this section.
For twentv-four hours heavy rains have
been falling over all the country drained by
the Monongahela and her tributaries. and
reports received today show that all the
streams are rising rapidly. 1t Is also rain
ing heavily up the Allegheny valley. and
while that river is now receding, continued
rain today may check the fall.
Forecaster Bidgeway of the weather bu-
reau issued another warning at 10 o'clock
this morning to the effect that much
higher stage of water than that of yester-
day might be expected.
The rivers continue about stationary this
morning. with the marks showing twenty
seven feet at the Sixth street bridge.
Low Districts Under Water.
Since last midnight there has been very
little if any change in the inundated dis
tricts. With the passing of the crest of
the flood last evening it was hoped the
water would quickly subside and normal
conditions soon again prevail.
The residents of the low districts, how
ever, were disappointed and today the en-
tire lower portion of Allegheny and the flats
in this city are still under from five to six
feet of water. lac suspended mills in the
submerged sections were unable to resume,
and from the present outlook it will be sew
eral days before they will be in operation.
AS the result many thousands of men are

Potomac to Reach Flood Stage.
CUMBERLAND, Md. March 21.-There is
no doubt now that the Potomac will reach
the flood stage. The rain has been con-
slant and steady for thirty-six hours The
river is rising a foot an hour. The small
streams are beyond their banks. and Wills
creek, running through Cumberland, is now
higher than at any time in year. and is
coming up rapidly. 1t is feared the flood
will cause damage at Hyndman, and that
Georges creek will cause trouble at Iona
coming. heavy rain is reported along the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad The Cheat
river is rising rapidly.

How Fishes breathe.

BY means Of their gills fish breathe
the air dissolved in water. The oxygen
consumed by them is not that which
forms the chemical constituent of the
water, but that contained in the air
which is dissolved in the water. Fishes
transferred to water from which the
air has been driven out by high tenn
perature or in which the air absorbed
by them is not replaced are soon suffo-
Gated. They require aerated water to
maintain life, and they take it In con-
stantly through their mouths and eXpel
1t through their gills, retaining the air.
1t follows that if the water in lake
should be completely cut off from con-
tact with the air long enough to ex-
haust the supply of air the fish in the
lake would die. 1t would take a severe
and pretty long continued freeze to
accomplish this, but it might happen
and doubtless has frequently happened
with a small body of water.-St Nicho-
las.

DINING IN JAPAN.

III It's Your First Japanese Meal You
Will Have u Trying Time.
If it's your first Japanese dinner
you're having a dreadfully hard time
In the first place you must sit on the
floor, for they don't have any chairs in
Japan. You kneel down, and then you
turn your toes in till one laps over the
other, and then you sit back between
your heels. At first you are quite
proud to find how well you do it, and
you don't think it's so very uncomfort
able. But pretty soon you get cramp
ed, and your legs ache as If you had
toothache in them. You don't say any
thing. because you think that IL the
Japanese can sit this way all day long
you ought to be able to stand it few
minutes. Finally both your feet go tc
sleep, and then you can't bear it q
moment longer, and you have to get
up and stamp around the room tc
drive the prickles out Of your feet, and
all the little dancing girls giggle al
you. This isn't your only trouble eli.
ther. All you have to eat with is q
pair of chopsticks, and you're In terror
lest you spill something on the dainty
white mating floor. Now the floor OF
a Japanese house isn't just the floor;
it's the chairs and sofas and tables
and beds as well. At home it would
be Notifying enough to go out to din.
ner and spill something on the floor,
but in Japan, where people sit and
sleep on the floor, it seems even worse.
So you are unhappy till your little ne
san (who is the waitress and almost
as prettily dressed as the dancing girls
but not quite comes laughing to your
aid and shows you how to hold your
chopsticks. After that you manage
nicely the rice and the omelet, but the
fish and the chicken you can't contrive
to shred apart without dropping your
chopsticks all the time. So between
dances the maiko-the little girls about
twelve years old-kneel down beside
you and help you. They can't keep
from giggling at your awkwardness
but you don't mind; you just giggle
too, and everybody giggles and has
lovely time.-St. Nicholas.

The First Elevators.

The idea involved in our modern
lift" or elevator" was anticipated IN
the middle of the seventeenth century
by Velager, who also established the
first letter boxes in Paris in 1868. We
layers lift was in demand until mis-
hap occurred to the kings daughter at
Versailles. The mechanism failed to
work when she was halfway up, and
there she stuck for three long hours
lntil the servants could break away the
wall to release her. His flying chairs"
then fell into disrepute. The appara-
tus was simple in the extreme; just a
chair attached to a rope which was
passed over pulley, with weight az
a counterbalance at its other end. In
1860 some one brought out as q new
Invention an imitation Of this primi-
tive lift, which has developed into our
hydraulic or electric apparatus.
