SCIENTIFIC FACT AND THEORY.
Too Many vasaries INDUCED In by
the Thinkers.

TIC IiHkcT6.
That the human race will become
blind through the effects Of the cleo
trical current so abundantly generat-
ed for modern uses Is the startling
proposition of an alleged scientist of
Chicago. We are OF the opinion that
this statement should be classed
among the vagaries of science. There
never was a time when real science
commanded more respect, or, to dem
onstrated truths. more unQuestioning
belief than the present. This Is shown
by the innumerable instances of APP
piled science in all branches OF indus
try. But scientific demonstrations are
one thing and scientific speculations
are quite another. In fact, real sci
entists do not indulge in the latter.
They announce conclusions as the re-
suit of patient and thorough research,
but they do not promulgate long-range
speculations or fantastic theories

Rescue Parties say There Is no Hope

Men Who Were at Work In the
Mine, sol Were Rescued.

Paris March 13. A terrible ex-
plosion occurred in coal mine in the
Courrieres district Of the Pas-de-
Calais, eighteen miles from Bethune.
1t has been learned that, out of 1,795
men who descended into the pits to
work, only 5sl have come up leaving

Rescue parties that have come to
the surface say that all further at
tempts at rescue are useless.
A smoldering fire broke out In the
Cecil pit OF the Courrieres mines at
a depth Of $50 feet, where masonry
work was proceeding. M. Barault, the
chief engineer of the mines, descend
ed for the purpose Of investigating
the circumstances which led to the
fire. This Is all that is known of the
origin Of the terrible catastrophe. The
cages in which the miners descend
into pits 2, 3 and 4iwere hurled thirty
feet from the mouth Of the shaft. IA
miner working near the mouth was
killed and a horse was blown into the
air. Some Of the imprisoned miners
sought to escape to the. pits which
remained intact and several rescnes
were made. The first cages came up
at 10 O'Clock, with aboutaa dozen half
ssuffocated men, who were promptly
taken to the hospital. tAmcng them

Several Plans for the Policing Of

French Delegation.

Algercias. Spain. March 10. The
ministerial crisis In Paris caused pro-
found establishment among the dele
gates Of the powers tending the Mo-

have not yet reached A.geciras. The
impression prevails that the event is
deplorable and may possibly prove
disastrous to French diplomacy. The
delegates, however, refuse to com
nit themselves on the effect which
the downfall of the Rouvier cabinet
may have on the conference.
Previous to the receipts Of the
news ofithe ministerial crisis at the

proceeding with feverish activity.
