Hearst was the man in every

vim, as they could have elected
him. Hearst was drawing all

republicans got scared and were
afraid of the red flag. So they
left Irwin and went to McClel-
land. Oh, such stealing of the
vote one never saw. And be-
fore they get done we are afraid
Hearst will get it. But one

ROCK EXPLOSIONS.
Some Scientific Reasons for the Re
markable Phenomenon in
Some Mines.

An English engineer, NJ, Jacquet,
Cosmos, gives some interesting
regarding a violent explosion
of rocks that took place on December
is, 1904, in the new Hillgrove mine, in
New South Wales, Australia. The area
involved in the explosion extended over
about 100 meters 1928 feet in length
and 80 meters t9S feet) in height, and
the shock was felt TO a distance OF two
to three kilometers tone and one-quar-
to two miles,. These explosions,
which frequently occur In this mine,
are a source of disquietude and anxiety
to the miners; 1t is probable, also, that
their violence Is increasing with the
depth to which the mine penetrates.
Such explosions, which may be called
spontaneous, have been reported from
many parts of the world. Nature re-
calls that in the lead mines of Derby
shire, for example, Straham has de-
scribed masses of ore that explode as
soon as disturbed by the pick, Numer-
Gus explanations have been given OF
these phenomena; they have been at
tributed to molecular tension, to gas
imprisoned in the rock, and TO com
preston of schists by granite. AT
Hillgrove, it is thought that the walls
of the galleries are in a state of ten
sion or Unstable equilibrium, which is
disturbed by the least accident.
