AND EXPLOSION

TO the speed with which the train was
going.
Another OF the projectiles left the
roof OF the building and struck a
wagon In the yard, tearing off one
wheel and side, and swapping a thick
steel tire, and then DETECTED itself into
a foot-thick brick wall. tearing that up

buildings. finally resting against tho
wall OF the third building. fully 500
feet from where IL started.
The third of tho torpedo-like tanks
has not been found yet, and its course
was a mystery. There were number
Of other and smaller tanks in the same
building. some of which also exploded
with a loud detonation, which was
heard on Smith hill and in other dis
tant sections OF the city
II was the explosion OF these smaller
tanks that destroyed three of the
smaller engines used for testing. Tho
pressure in each tank was 900 pounds

The building was somewhat isolated
from the others, hence the destruction
of the entire plant was safeguarded.
IL was one of the older buildings of the
establishment, having been built about
so years ago. when the plant was not
so large as IL is at present.
While the fremen were attending To
this work, an alarm was rung in for
a small blaze in one OF the buildings
nearby, occupied by a bakery, the roof
OF which was ignited by the sparks
flying from the Corliss works fire. This
was soon extinguished, and the depart
ment returned 10 it's work or sub
DUNG the flames at the engine works.

Mountain Lake Park as an EduCs
tiOnal Center.

The educational contributions
of Mountain Lake Park to this
section of our country in its TWEEN
ty-four years of existence, has
been very great factor in the in
tellectual life of every city and
community within a radius of two
hundred miles of the Park.
Represented in dollars and cents,
the Park has given practically a
quarter of a million dollars toward
education. How many lives have
been spurred to intellectual en-
deavor, no man can say, but sure
ly many have gone from us to take
high places in the world of mental
achievement. On our platform have
spoken leading men of the world
Of letters, both of Europe and
America, not merely to the audi
enCes present, but through them to
many thousands who were not able
to attend.

arranged tanother feast of rich
things for the Chautauqua season.

A MUD SICK DOCTOR.
Physicians Suggestion to Improve

In Morrow county, o., we are
very poorly provided with pike
roads, says DR.. D. B. Virtue Of
Iberia, o., i'll the Auto Advocate
and Country Roads. Outside Of
the incorporated villages there are
perhaps ten or twelve miles of pike
and some indifferent gravel roads.
Mostly the roads are earth roads,
which in many months are equiv
alent to mortar beds. However,
the number of people who advo-
cate good roads is steadily in
creasing, so that the enemies Of
good roads now say. Something
of the kind will be done sooner or
later" They hope that it will be

larger far than that which remains.
But that which remains is undi-
minished. And all are fed and
filled. AS a lesson in
trugality, and unused fragments
are ordered to be gathered up.
Each hesitating apostle holds in
his hands the tangible evidence
OF the reality and magnitude of the
miracle wrought.
The Teachers Lantern.
Lovely evidence is here of the
implicit confidence which main
tanned between Jesus and His
apostles. They came to Him.
They told Him what they had
done, what they had taught. They
were sure of His sympathy. If
they needed correction they knew
1t would be done in love. *
The eldest disciples have no mo-
nopoly, however, of Jesus sympa-
thy. He is touched with a feeling
for us, too. We can come to Him
also; to tell Jesus" is still the
disciples blissful recourse. 81 " x
The same considerateness which
Jesus showed for the health and
comfort of his toilers He still feels
for those who, in this latter day,
are engaged in His service. Sea-
sons OF respite are indispensable
for the highest effectiveness. A
church initiates the Master when
1t gives an industrious pastor a va
cation. 1t says, GO apart, and
rest awhile. But apos-
ties nor preachers have monop-
oily of Jesus sympathy. The
Wilderness of Gods mercy is like
the madness Of the sea. 1t sweeps
out to inclose all sorts and condi
tons of men. Jesus was as COM
passionate toward the five thou
sand as toward the Twelve. So
His Savior heart goes out toward
the great un-churched masses to-
day. Five crackers and
two dried herring, Talk of feed
ing five thousand with them, But
add to the crackers and fish the
almightiness of Jesus, and the
proposition ceases to be ridiculous.
The resources of the church for
spiritual sustenance for the thou
sand millions of earth are palpably
inadequate until the Savicr's pow
er and blessing are added to the
equation. Then there is enough
and to spare. The heav-
enliness of this miracle is evident
in its orderliness. There was no
unseemly scramble, inequality, or
waste. All was precision, method,
order. Grace at meals
IS one of the sweetest and most i'm
pressive services offamily religion.
We have Jesus example for it. If
Paul could observe it in the midst
of shipwreck, there can scarcely
be a domestic emergency which
would justify its omission.

Nobody but an editor knows the
pleasure a newspaper man gets out
of papers that reach the Office from
the various parts of the country.
1t is like getting so many letters
from friends in every mail, except
there is the added pleasure that
you don't have to answer them
unless you want to. In spite of
