Suffered From Cold.

A survivor named Martin said: 1--WE
suffered intensely from cold. The
chamber above us was burning, but it
did not temper the cold in the lower
gallery"
Another survivor, LeFebvre, when
asked if he had slept, replied:
I'VE never closed our eyes. Some
times we dozed, but Nemy, who took
command, would not permit US to
sleep"
Nemy displayed his watch, which he
had wound up regularly throughout his
imprisonment The watch was fast,
and therefore the survivors counted
only 16 days from the time of the ex-
plosion.
The rescued men are being kept in
semidarkness. Dr. Loutiers who is in
charge of the patients, says they are
suffering from ptomaine poisoning,
caused by eating the decomposed meat
of the horse that persisted near them.
The floors of the hospital, where the
rescued men are being treated, are
covered with straw to prevent noise,
and the patients are kept in semi
darkness. The families of the patients
are admitted to see them for very brief
periods When the project visited the
men, Nemy, the leader of the rescued
party said:

A genuine Navajo blanket is hand
made from start to finish. The In
dian grows his own wool, cards 1t,
spins 1t and weaves 1t, all by hand In
the most primitive way. He formerly
pulled the wool from the sheep with
his hands, but with the coming of the
trader the common sheep shears made
the use of them. To go among these
people and see how they live, and
again to see the beautiful creation OF
their simple minds amid such unin-
vlting surroundings, is as wonderfully
surprising as anything the creative
genius of the more enlightened white
man has ever flashed upon tie can

Were you to visit a Navajo weav-
er's hogan you would expect 10 see a
large loom and spinning wheel some
thing like those our create randmoth-
ers used to use. But a very different
loom and spinning wheel would be
discovered. Both are so simple that
the weaving appliances of our colonial
ancestors appear, In comparison, as
elaborate and intricate as the ma
chinery of modern wooden mill. The
Navajo spinning wheel consists of
wooden spindle about eighteen inches
long, ON which Is fastened In the mid
die a small disk four or five inches
In diameter. This spindle Is dexter
ously twirled with the fingers while
the soft wool, which has been carded
by small hand cards Into little rolls
about one foot In length and One-haif
inch in diameter, Is twisted into
smooth, strong threads. Often this
spinning process is repeated four or

FRENCH COAL MINERS ENTOMED
FOR 20 DAYS COME OUT ALIVE,
Thirteen Haggard Miners, unaided,
Escape From Pit at courrleres--
Live on Hay and Horse Meat-Tale
of Terrible Sufferinq-Others May
Be Found.

Thirteen of the 1900 miners who
were entombed in the coal mines at
Courrieres, France for 20 days
were taken from the mine alive. They
had lived on hay found in one of the
underground stables and the morsals
of food, which they took into the
mine with them nearly three weeks
ago. All attempts to rescue the en-
tombed men had been abandoned more
than two weeks ago.
The sudden appearance of the i'm
prisoned men caused stuperfaction. A
gang of salvagers had just completed
their nights work when they were
startled to see group of miners, ter
ribly haggard and exhausted and with
eyes sunken, appear from a remote
part of the pit
The strongest of the party said they
had broken out of a distant gallery
where they had been entombed since
the disaster of March 10.
The rescued men were taken up the
elevator, but were unable to see, ow-
ing to the dazzling daylight. The
mine officials were deeply affected as
the weeping survivors were taken to a
hospital. The men were able to talk
feebly but audibly. They all asked
for news of relatives or friends and
wished to go home at once.

Later crowds besieged the mines in
the hope of further escapes, necessi-
tating the employment of strong po-
lice force and detachments of troops
to maintain order. 1t is said that 9th
ers of the entombed miners are alive
and about to be brought out, their sig
nails having been heard. One of the
men rescued, man named Nemy, said
that for the first eight days the party
ate the bark off the timbers of the
mine. Later they found the decompos
ed body of a horse. which they cut
and ate with hay. The survivors
brought up portions of decomposed
horse meat.
