This Is the Only Ray of Hope Which

FAN WILL BRING REVELATIONS.

CHERRY. H., Nov. 15.-Fire has
broken out afresh in the St. Paul mine.
Fire engines and fighting apparatus are
being rushed here from LaSalle on spe-
. cial train.
BY order Of the mining experts ana
inspectors, after a conference with
George $ Rice. chief of the field work
of the United States geological survey,
the main shaft has been sealed in the
hope Of smothcring the flames sufficient
~ to permit Of fighting the fire when the
special engines arrive.
The FIRE broke ont with great intensity
after the rescue workers and inspectors
had descended three times into the shaft
/ 10 the bottom. On the first two trips no
! sign of life was detected near the shaft,
and there was little smoke. Then the
fans were started in the hope of clearing
! the galleries that search for the bodies
might progress. Suddenly the flames
started the fire pouring out of the sta
! hles where the original fire occurred. IN
spcctor James Taylor and X. \. WI
liams were being lowered into the SHAFT
when they discovered the flames about
100 feet from the bottom of the shaft
and toward the exit shaft They SIG
nailed for an ascent and ordered the hre

shaft was giving forth volumes OF smoke

Different IN KANSAS.
Here Green Christmas Doesn't Make
Fat Graveyard.

The theory that green Christmas
means fat graveyard does not hold
good in Kansas. There is no place
where the people are stronger or
healthier than in the Sunfiower state
and yet, out of the past % times of
which the weather bureau has
record, there have been but five
occasions on which the ground was
white on Christmas day. The green
Christmas has prevailed until it may
almost be regarded as a Kansas in
stitution and yet. there are many
places where the white Christmas
prevails that have more densely popu-
lated cemeteries than are to be found
here.
perienced white Christmas The
last one on record was in 1895 when
three inches of snow was on the
ground. At the closing of the old
century. snow fell on Christmas day
but had disappeared by night. Since
Christmas, 1899, there has been no
snow on Christmas
The first Christmas of which the
local weather bureau has a record is
the Christmas of 1887. 1t was a white
December 20 and the low temperature
which followed prevented It's dis
appearing. Then came two years
with green Christmas each to their
white. according to the records there
being inches of snow on the
ground. The next year a white
Christmas is also recorded although
to 2 inches or less than a quarter of
an inch. Christmas. 1892 was a
white Christmas but it was the last
one until 1895.
In that year there were three inches
of snow on the ground on Christmas
day. But there has not been
Christmas since that time that Santa
Claus did not have rough shedding as
he skidded along over the frozen
ground. In 1893 the snow which fell
did not come until Christmas day. too
late to do any good, and 1t dis
appeared before night. 1t is up to
you to draw your own color line and
decide whether this was a white or
green Christmas. Beginning with
1900 there has not been a break in
the monotony of the green Christ
masses that have been the order
1t is remarkable t It there has never
been a Christmas, since local weather
records were begun, that was not pre-
ceded by snow. Snow always falls in
Kansas before the holidays arrive. Most
of the snow comes after Christmas but
that holiday never gets in without a
snow having previously fallen.
The average time OF year for snow in
Kansas is November 49, This year the
snow is late in arriving but it will come
before Christmas or break record, SO
you mad better hunt up last years over
shoes and get the snow shovel ont of
the basement or you'll have all this
trouble after the ground is white.
The earliest that snow has fallen. ae-
cording to records for the last % years.
Is september -, 1901. when there was a
heavy fall. The latest in the year that
the first snow is registered is for De-
cember "a. 1880. But 1t came before
Christmas.
The weather man will not risk a
guess on whether or not the coming
Christmas is to be a white one. Rns
there is one due soon because there has
not been white Christmas for eiehf
years. Also 1t is fairly safe to expect
snow between now and that day be
cause Kansas always gets one before
Christmas and has it sIill to come this
year.
