Lens, department of Pas-de Calais.
Here are huddled small hamlets OF
mine workers who operate the most
productive coal mines in France. Sub
teFannean chambers form a series of
tunnels Six of the outlets arc
near Lens and the others are at
Courrieres. Vedum and many other
points. About 1000 miners work
the group of mines, and with their
families, make a population of 5000
TO 5000 souls.
Flames Follow Explosion
Tho catastrophe took place short
" after l,795 men had descended in
to The mine Saturday morning. There
was deafening explosion followed
ny cages and mining apparatus being
hurled from the mouth ot the Cour-
rieres mine, Men and horses near
by the outside of the mine were eth
ed stunned or killed. Immediately
following the explosion flames burst
from the mouth of the pit, driving

enter and booming those within.

DOES AWAY WITH RED TAPE.
Hansbrough Offers Amendment to
Free Alcohol Bill.

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Hans
brough has introduced an amendment
to the free alcohol law authorizing the
commissioner of internal revenue to
make special arrangement for the de-
maturing of alcohol distilled by per-
sons in such small quantities as not
to justify the additional expenses Of
en- individual warehouse for each dis
tiller as required by the law. 1t is the
opinion of Senator Hansbrough that if
adopted this amendment will admit of
the installation by individual or groups
of farmers of agricultural and produce
stills, now in successful use in Ger
many, and that much of the official
red tape, which, he says, is now nee
essary, will be done away with with
out the danger of imposition or fraud
and at the SAME time give the farm
ers of the country the advantages with
respect to the manufacture Of alcohol
to be denaturized for light, heat and
power purposes which it was originally
proposed they would have.

THE ROSE OF JERICHO.
1t Is the Original of All the Resurrec-
ton Plants.

1t Is the Original of All the Resurrec-
ton Plants.
Several varieties of the SO called
resurrection plant have appeared
among the novelties offered by florists,
but the original is the rose of Jericho.
Along the shores Of the Dead sea, far
enough away to be out of reach Of the
death dealing vapors and the salt
spray, grows this rose, little plant
famed in many legendary story.
which, when ripened, rolls up it's sprays
and branches into curious little brown
ball.
The desert winds snap off its dry
stem and whirl the seemingly dead
little ball away over sandy plains, like
featherweight. After it chances to
reach some damp place, in about ten
days, the moisture has wrought mira
Gle, for the once dead Is alive again,
green and growing.
The old time pilgrims, who brought
back this plant with them from the
Holy Land, told wonderful tales Of its
power to bloom out on Christmas day
and gave it the name Of resurrection
flower. Another old legend names it
st.. Mary's rose, because it Ia said that
when Joseph and Mary were fleeing
from Egypt one of these flowers grew
from every spot where they halted to
rest.
The dry ball when unfolding drops
its seed, and from these 1t may be cul-
tivated as an annual. To resurrect
these dry balls it Is simply necessary
to keep them standing In glasses of wa
ter, immersed about halfway to the
top Of their branches. The expansion
is merely mechanical, spongelike
process.
The botanical name Of the rose Of
Jericho Is anastatica, from anastasis,
resurrection. There are other species
Of resurrection plants, but they are not
SO attractive as their Dead sea relative
which, although it has very little
beauty, has an honored place among
flowers because of the many fancies
and associations it calls up and it's pc.
