The Dead WAu Exceed Two Hundred While Some Place The Figures as High as Three Hund-

Mexico City, Feb 16.--Latest dis patches from Acapulco, where the Flores theatre was burned Sunday night, while the structure was crowded l at gala performance given in honor of Governor Flores Of the State of Guerrero. bring varying estimates of the loss of life
 They agree in declaring, however, that the dead will exceed two hund- red, while some place the figures as 1 high-as three hundred and three hund- red and fifty. Most of the dead were charred and burned beyond recognition so that 1t will take several days pro- bably to secure an accurate list. Acapulco Is dazed by the catastrophe. All business at the port has ceased, the shops have been closed and the people are crowding the churches, where masses are being celebrated for the dead. Subscription lists have been opened throughout the State Of Cuer- rero and in Mexico City for the suf- ferers. Y The Ire. which spread with incredi- ble rapidity through the immense wooden and adobe structure, was due to the carelessness and inexperience of the operator at the moving picture machine. There was an explosion. a burst of flames which communicated to the bunting used for decorating purposes and in a few minutes the entire structure was a mass of fire. The flames started over the main entrance. The exits were all in the front part of the building which was almost immediately turned into a wall of fire so that the people were trapped. The people in e frenzied panic, tried to run the gauntlet of flames, but where one escaped. scores perished, As nearly always in catastrophes of the kind. the women and children suf- fered most. comprising majority Of the dead. All remains have been buried in a common trench by the municipal authorities.
 The greatest loss of life was occas- toned, according to survivors, by the fall of the roof which crashed down on the entrapped people in what seem ed a short time after the blaze was discovered. Previous to this. the men in the pit had fought like dmons strik- ing down women and children in their efforts to escape. The fall of the roof, however, stilled the screams and groans of the fighting. panic stricken audience.
 The firemen and the crowds on the outside who had been attracted to the scene, could do nothing to help the people in the burning building and were compelled to stand helpless. Lat est reports indicate that no Americans lost their lives. though earlier dis patches had said that several were killed. MT. Moorhead, the American consul, had been invited to the per- formance. but pressing business made 1t impossible for him to attend and this probably saved hls life.

REAL THREAD OF LIFE.
A Tiny Wisp Of Tissue Embedded IN
the Hearts Walls.

According to tradition, it was Afro
pos, the blind Fury with the abhorred
shears, who slit the thin spun life.
and many Of Millions readers may
have wondered whether there was any
thread in the anatomy of man the
severance Of which would be immedi-
ately fatal. Injuries to the brain and
heart, in both of which the principle
Of life has been supposed to reside,
may be survived for shorter or longer
periods; but, as an article by DR.. G. E.
Lea reminds US, Psychologists have of
late years discovered nerve or bun
lie of nerves which might well be de-
scribed as the thread of life. One of
the developing sciences of our time is
autobiography, the science Of the heart
beat. The heart, as most people are
aware, is divided into auricles and
ventricles. The ventricles are the
pumping chambers; the auricles are
the collecting chambers Of the blood
and, like the stroke Of racing eight,
set the rhythm Of the heart beat. A
iittle instrument called the sphygmo-
graph is placed on the wrist pulse and
magnifies its movements and traces
them with recording pen in a zigzag
curve, telling the observer what the ven
tricles are doing. Another instrument.
the polygraph, placed on the jugular,
records the more delicate vibrations
Of the auricle. With the aid Of these
two instruments the physician can find
what all the four chambers Of the heart
are doing. Now, the auricular con-
traction acts as a stimulant or start
ing shock to the ventricular contrac-
ton. Most stimuli are conveyed along
nerves. Therefore a little nerve in
the heart to act as a telegraph wire
between auricle and ventricle was to
be expected. Such a thing has been
found by PSYCHOLOGISTS; but, rather than
nerve, it is a specialized sensitive por-
ton Of the heart muscle itself. It is a
little wisp of tissue not an inch long
and only one-twelfth Of an inch thick.
On this delicate communicating wisp,
called the auriculo ventricular bundle,
hangs existence itself. Evolution has
arranged that it shall be so small and
so sheltered in position in the heart that
It is rarely damaged even by large in
juries to that organ. But if it is sew
cred then the ventricles must stop and
life must instantaneously cease.-Lon.

Boston than the Hudson river Along
about dusk one evening as she sat on
the box by the driver and the team
wound its way around the shoulder OF
a bleak mountain a highwayman sud-
denly stepped into the middle of the
road and held up his hand. A cooked
rife rested easily in the hollow of his
arm and its muzzle pointed straight
at the drivers head. He quickly pulled
up.
Throw over Wells-Fargo's box!'
said the man with the gun.
The driver reached down and flung
the box into the road; then he started
to gather up the reins.
Hold on!' the other cried inpatient

think l want that?"
For reply the driver swiftly kicked

All right" said the man on the
ground in affable tone; you can drive
on now"
For half mile they rolled along in

A BAsHFUL LOVER.

The Professor Was Shy Wooer, but
Finally Got the Lady.
Or. Haldane. at one time professor
of st. Andrews university, was a very
shy man. This latter failing prevented
him from asking any lady to become
his wife until he was well advanced
in life.
However, be plucked up courage one
day, redecorated his house and went
to call on the object CT his affections.
The lady. seeing the doctors embar-
rassment, opened fire. '.Weel. doctor,
hae ye got through a your papering
and painting yet? I'm told your new
carpets are just beautiful They say

is just quite out O. the way. In short,

Here was providential opening he
was not such goose as to overlook.
he advanced his chair, sided toward
her, simpering the while, raised his
eyes furtively to her face and said,
with a gentle infection Of his voice
which no ear but a willfully deaf one
could have misinterpreted: ma, ma,
Miss Jane, it's no quite perfect It
Gamma be quite that so long as there's
one thing wanting!'
"And what can that be?' asked the
imperturbable spinster.
Utterly thrown on his beam ends by
her willful blindness to his meaning,
the poor doctor beat a hasty retreat,
drew back bis chair from its danger
GUS proximity, caught up his hat and
in tones of blighted hope gasped forth
his declaration in these words: 'Eh,
dear, eh! Well I'm sure! The thing
wanting is a-a-a-sideboard.
However. she married him after all.
