MINE EXPLOSION,

THIRTY or THEM BELIEVED TO
az DEAD AND LIST is LIKELY
TO BE sWELlED.

VICTORIA. B. c., Get 6.-Thirty
miners are believed to be dead as the
result Of an explosion at the Extension
mine of the wellington Colliery Com
many Tuesday. The death list likely
will be even larger, as sixty miners
we're entC ped b. the explosion with
slight chance of rescue.
The shock was terrific, but its effect
was confined to the slope wherein II
occurred. All of the men in the CHIEF
slores and levels escaped.
No bodies had been recovered up TO
a late hour. Fifty men were engaged
in rescue work Hundreds OF lnhaD-
itants and miners volunteered aid but
the nature of the rescue work pre-
cluded mere than fifty being engaged.
The rescuers hoped the flames
would die down so as to permit the
rescue of the entombed, but this
seemed hopeless.
The exrlosion was due to fire damp
the timbers in two levels at once ig'
hitting an dthe fire spreading with
great rapidity.
Residents of Nanaiao have been pre-
vented from going to Extension
where the disaster occurred, and only
rescuers, miners and officials are on
the scene. Only meager details were
available late Tuesday night.
Rapidly spreading fire prevented
rescuers from completing their work.
)ut late tonight they were making
every effort to enforce their entrance
nto the two levelas affected by the
explosion.

on Van Couver Island are of the bet

VERY ROUGH ON
YOUNG AMERICA
VIRGINIA AND NORTH CAROLINA
PEANUT SUPPLY CUT DOWN
BY DROUGHT.

PETERSBURG, Va, Oct. 6.-The
peanut crop in Virginia and North
Carolina will show big DECREASE in
yield this year according to reports
from different sections of these two
States.
The average yield in these two
States in previous years has been
about 100000 bangs of Virginia, OF
four bushels, and about 100000 OF
Spanish nuts. 1t is estimated that
the crop of virginias this year will be
about 70 per cent. The decreased
acreage is due to prolonged spell of
wet weather, during the planting
season, and a dought of later date,
aecting the seed planting.

A DRAMATIC CATHEDRAL.
A May Evening the Time to Come
 First to Rouen, and Why.

Rouen is the most dramatic of ca thedrals not only from the near hills. bot when it's door finally is reached. If the hour and the way could be de- libcrately chosen, l should prefer to come to it first toward dusk on d May evening, and from the rue. de la Crosse Horloge. one of the most his toric of Rouen's historic streets, with the old tower of St. Romaln. ghostIy white in the blue twilight. at the far end Because the morrh is May. the cathedral doors will be open and can dIes b. rning on the altar or the Blessed Virgin. On my last visit at this season the nave, too, was ablaze with light and it was crowded from end to end; for, as it ever has been and ever will be. to prosecute the church is to stir the faithfu Ito new ardors. Rouen Is a big manufacturing town, and, as a rule. piety languishes in the modern industrial atmosphere.
 The Month of Mary is not d service [ of obligation, but never of old, at the most important ceremony have [ found people assembled in so great numbers and so fervent in prayer To surprise the cathedral thus in it's most intimate. devotions is to see in it something more than a monument existing by the. care of the state and for the curiosity of the tourist. It helps one then to understand. better than when you study it, guide book in hand, why its builders made it beautiful and why it's history Is one of all the tears and laughter of R)uen since it became Christian. until now, when statesmen would have it cease to be Catholic. The interior is never so solemn as at this hour. the great piers and arches in shining light lead ing the eye straight to the fires of the altar, while choir and chapels are lost in the shadowy space beyond, whc-e the white columns loom dimly and the priest, bearing the blessed sacra- ment, passes and disappears as the acOIytes little bell tinlSles faintly and ever more faint1y into silence.

Go to, let us welcome with pomp and
 state Him who alone is mighty and great" With carpets of gold the ground they
 spread Wherever the Son of Man should
 tread. And in palace chambers lofty and rare They lodged him, and served him with
 kingly fare. Great organs surged through arches
 dim Their pubilant floods in praise of him; And in church, and palace. and judge
 ment hall, He saw his own image high over all. But still whenever his steps they led, The Lord in sorrow bent down his
 head, And from under the heavy foundation
 stones, The son of Mary heard bitter groans. And in church, and palace. and judge
 ment hall, He marked great Assures that rent the
 wall, And opened wider and yet more wide As the living foundation heaved and
 sighed Have ye founded your thrones and
 altars, then. On the bodies and souls of living men? And think ye that building shall en-
 dure.

 In the end the cap'n is committed for murder. and in the meantime grows beard, and so confounds his former crew. The judge decides the matter like a solomon. He slaves off one-half of his face and leaves the wilderness upon the other half.

TRUE HUMOR.

Humor. true humor, is more precious than rubies, and more than twice as rare. But once in every decade or so a man writes a gem of purest ray serene. and lucky is the editor who first lays hold of it He. If he be wise. clamps onto it like an abalone at high tide. "Cap'n Bolster's Only Shave" by Clarence B. Kelland. is a case in point The worthy "Cap'n" wears whiskers of the forest prime val" order, and one day, trying to light his pipe while in state of semi demi- -intoxication, he inadvertently drops the match into his beard, and straightway starts a forest fire To save his face he slaves the shoulder ing wilderness. and right here the trouble begins.

People Flee From Tsetse Fly.

A most remarkable exodus has re- gently been accomplished, in the nov ing of 100000 men, women and chil- dren from the shores of Lake Victoria, Africa, to places of safety many miles away. The occasion of the emigra- ton was the ravages of the tsetse fly. whose bite causes the fatal sleep ing sickness. For eight years medical scientists have grappled in vain with the problem which still remains un- solved. In the meantime COCO vic tims have perished.
 It is no easy matter to separate a people from the homes of it's ances- tors. The tenacity with which hu- mans cling to the associations of d lifetime, even in the face of ac- knowIedged peril, has been illustrated time and again. In the case of the natives of Uganda, the efforts of the white race to move black increased the difficulties. England could have marched the natives out at the point of a bayonet, and would have ren- dered them a great service in doing so. Such proceeding, however, would have meant war. Instead. for months a systematic course of public instruction was employed until people were educated to the point where they wanted to go.
 We should not lose sight of the fact that our own common house fly lays it's tens of thousands. Because the disease it spreads is not confined to one aiIment. and that of so myste rious and spectacular character. we fail to realize the necessity to protect ourselves from our own pest whose very numbers and commences blind us to it's dangers.-H.
