IN PIT OF POISONOUS GAS
By LADY HENRY SOMERSET.

LONDON, March 3l.-There have been
many terrible mine accidents in various
parts of the world. but none could equal
in horror that which made 5000 widows
aud orphans, and which occurred last
week at Lens. The grim little block
Of red brick villages is at preset one
OF the most pathetic sights on earth
The people there are stunned by the
force of the disaster, and for days
corpses have been laid in gruesome rows
outside the mine. for every fifth cot

The only relief in the blackness OF
the picture is the heroism which the
great disaster called forth Columns
could be filled with the stories OF men
who risked their lives or who persisted
in the effort to save others. Hippolyte

four men and three lads of sixteen to
eighteen, and one boy of twelve. and
after six hours in the mine barely es-
capped with his life. During that time

the sumptuous repast was to be a
fatuous representation of a dinner on
