MOrs Than a Thousand Miners Kill
ed in Gas Explosion in
France.

A mining catastrophe of incsl.
culabIe horror and magnitude has
stricken the great coal center of
Northern France An explosion
of FIRE damp at Z O'Clock Saturday
morning carried death and destruc-
ton throughout the net work of
coal mines conferred at Courrieres
and FIRE followed the explosion
making rescue difficult and almost
impossible.
The intense excitement and CON.
fusion in the vicinity prevented
early estimates of the exact loss of
life, but despatch received at 8:45
Saturday evening from Lille an
nounced total of 1,193 dead.
The scene of the catastrophe is
in the mountainous mining region
near LENS. in the department of
Has Decalais. Here are huddled
small hamlets of the mine workers
who operate the most productive
GOAL mines in France. The subter-
annean chambers form a series of
tunnels.
Six of the outlets are near Lens
and the others of Courriers, Vardun
and many other points. The out
put of these mines is particularly
combustibIe and largely used in
the manufacture of gas and in
smelling. About 1000 miners
work the group of mines, and with
their families make a population
of from 5000 to 5000 souls.
The catastrophe took place short
Iy after 1875 men had descended
into the mine.

Geo. Q. Musgrave, Teaoher.

A man stopped us on the street
the other day and said we did not
publish all the news. We should
say not. In the first place, there's
somebody depending on us for a
living. If We published all that
happened. we would soon be with
the angels. In order to please the
people, we must print only the nice
things said of them and leave the
rest to gossip. Yes, it's fact, we
don't print all the news. If We
did, wouldn't it be spicy reading?
But it would be for one week only.
The next week you would read our
obituary, and there would be new
face in heaven. ALI the news is
all right when it is about the other

meerschaum can be cut like cheese,
and 1t Is then roughly shaped with a
knife to the form Of a pipe. When
dry the bowl and stem shanks are
drilled, and then, II the pipe Is Of a
plain pattern, 1t Is turned on a lathe
to the desired form. If a square
shank Is desired, 1t is shaped with a
file. The shank Is now shouldered
and threaded to receive the amber
stem piece. These stems are cut from
plates of solid amber. most Of which
is imported from Germany.
Amber occurs in many parts Of Eu-
rope and America, but in largest
quantity along the coast Of Germany.
This fossil gum is found in Jumps or
grains and Is melted at $50 degrees F.
and refined.
There are two qualities of amber,
the transparent and the Opaque or
cloudy, the latter being much tough
er and, therefore, more serviceable.
The pipe stems, after being fooled
out, are bent to the required shape.
They are first immersed in oil and
heated until they lose much of their
brittleness. Then they are held over
an alcohol flame and bent as desired.
The threaded ends Of the stem are
protected while bending by an arbor
screwed therein.
The pipes are now carefully

rush or shave grass. The stem of the
grass, owing to the natural deposit Of
silica, has a fine roughness which per-
fectly adapts 1t for this service. At
ter the pipes have been properly fin-
ished with the rush, they are miners
ed In melted wax for a short time, de-
pending on the density Of the meer-
schaum, and then they are given a
high polish with chalk precipitate.
| Meerschaum Is an excellent mate
rial for artistic carving, and some
carved tobacco pipes are perfect gems
Of art.
| In the selection of a meerschaum
pipe, one should be careful not to pick
a dead white specimen. That which
Is of a slight creamy color will soon
est take on that beautiful rich yellow
brown which so delights the smoker.
Nor should the meerschaum be too
light, as that is an indication that 1t
Is too porous to color properly, while
on the other hand a very heavy meer-
schaum may be almost too dense to
absorb the coloring nicotine.
A great many so-called meer-
schaum pipes are made from artifi-
cial meerschaum, a material composed
Of the chips and dust of meerschaum
bonded with some solution and then
moulded into blocks. The artificial
