SACKED
AND DESOLATED

London, Dec. 13.-The Telegraph
prints the concluding part of the
dispatch from Moi, Japan, begun
Monday, giving detailed accounts by
refugees of the alleged sacking and
burning of Hardin, Manchuria, by
mutinous Russians. 1t says the
mutineers set fire to and pillaged
houses in every direction and seized
all weapons and ammunition they
were able to lay their hands on.
When dawn came according to these
accounts, the mutineers crept to their
hiding places. Daylight revealed
the Chinese quarter in ruins and 400
Russian citizens lying dead or wound
ed in the streets Of Hardin. The
authorities, the accounts say, really
assisted the mutineers in sacking the
remnants of the city, while pretend
ing that they were making efforts to
suppress the mutiny.

Mine on Fire Since 1857,

From Fuel
President Lewis A. Riley of the Lehigh
Coal and Navigation Company In his an
nual report says that one of the company's
mines near Tamaqua has been on fire for
forty-seven years. Regarding the efforts
now made to quench these subterranean
fires the report says:
"A portion of the outcrop of the Mann
moth vein In this locality has been on fire
since 1857, the fire being confined by the
water filling the workings below water
level and cut-offs on the outcrop Before
opening the colliery below water level Ii is
necessary either to extinguish the fire or
get II under control. During the past year
efforts have been made with this end in
view, which met with a large measure of
success. boiler plant and pumping ma
chinery have been erected on the bank of
the Little SchuylkiIl river at Tamaaua for
the purpose of pumping water to the level
of the outcrop. A branch of the Panther
Creek railroad has been extended nearly
two miles to reach the outcrop,- and more
holes have been put down at various places
where there were indications of fire The
fire is being extinguished by washing coal
dirt through bore holes on the fire and
filling up the vacant spaces SO as to cut
off the air supply"

have not visited Switzerland that this is
all chiid's play-it is in fact a business SO
serious that the participants are mainly
grown persons, and some of them are old
people who are willing to forget the dignity
of a bishopric or a lordship for the occa-
sion. The young women become singularly
expert at it, and are interesting to gaze
upon. At Caux the 'lugers' come back
up the mountain by the funicular. but
many of them climb up two and three
times day.
1t is no wonder. then. that much at
tention has been given the huge" itself,
and there has been as marked develop
ment in its construction in recent seasons
as there has been in the automobile. or
course, there are various types of luges;
the mountaineers' sled was the first and
Is still existing popular form. From
this was developed the dirigible, or bob
Sled" to carry several persons. And now
from this has come bob" built of steel
and from this the Canadian toboggan is
developed, called the skeleton" mere
steel framework just arranged for man
lying on his stomach. who can thus ira
verse great lump places that would throw
off person in sitting posture. The lat
est development in ''bobs' Is the bob de
Leysin,'' which has steering gear on the
yacht principle.
There is no reason why Juggling should
not obtain great popularity in America. 1t
does not need a Jungfrau-or even Caux.

CARE OF PINE wooDLoT.
The Proper Pruning Of the Trees Given
by Correspondent.


by Correspondent.
From the Massachusetts Pioughman.
It is very pleasant to look UP and note the
vast dimensions of our pine trees. A lot
of several acres of twenty years growth
started in my berry pasture. I had been
SO troubled by people coming in and let
ting down the pasture bars and throwing
down the wall that / moved the brush, and
soon thick growth of white pines came
up. In ten years they were trimmed some
four feet high. That seemed to give them
a new start They are more than thirty
feet high now, and. it does one good to
walk through and over the soft bed of
pine needles and listen to the whisperings
among the foliage.
As many of the lower limbs nearly reach
the ground ! am now engaged in cut
ground removing also great many small
dead ones, thus furnishing large num-
Der of bean poles and rails for fencing
and some wood as fuel. The work makes
the lots look better, but more than all the
rest. in case of fire, the flames will not be
so apt to reach the tops and so cook the
more tender bark higher up. This, think,
Is the main cause Of fire being so destrue-
tive to our woodlots. The white pine is
the most valuable timber we have. It
makes a comparatively quick growth and
will do well on almost any rough. poor
land not suitable for cultivation
Quite an area where the surface had
been removed planted with white pine
