CHAPTER x.-continued.

The woman now called to them that
supper was ready, so they gathered
around the table and Dorothy ate
some delicious porridge and dish of
scrambled eggs and plate of nice
white bread. and enjoyed her meal.
The Lion ate some of the porridge, but
did not care for it, saying it was made
from oats and oats were food for
horses. not for lions. The Scarecrow
and the Tin Woodman ate nothing at
all. Toto ate little of everything,
and was glad to get a good supper
again.
The woman now gave Dorothy bed
to sleep in, and Toto lay down beside
her. while the Lion guarded the door
of her room so she might not he dis

Woodman stood up in corner and

The next morning. as soon as the
sun was up. they started on their way

in the sky Just before them.

AS they walked on, the green glow
became brighter and brighter. and 1t
seemed that at last they were nearing
the end of their travels. Yet 1t was

HASTINGS Mine
FIRE SPREADS
VICTOR FUEL COMPANY USING
EVERY EFFORT TO ExTiN-
GUISH FLAMES.
MINERS FEAR DANGER
MANAGER HOPES TO STOP FIRE
AND BEGIN WORK AGAIN
VERY SOON.

De1ver.-A Trinidad special to the
New SUNDAY night says: The fire in
the Hastings mine of the Victor Fuel
Company il still raging unchecked.
Several small explosions occurred dur
ing the day and it is now feared that
the blaze has spread to remote drifts~
in the big mine. At intervals during
the day miners were carried to the
surface in an unconscious condition,
having been overcome by smoke and
gases.
The company surgeons were kept
busy caring for the exhausted men
who had gone down to try and locate
the blaze. 1t is now admitted by COM
pany officials that the situation is ex-
tremely serious Nearly all of the
fire and pit bosses have quit their po-
sitions rather than enter the mine.
The blaze is believed to be located
nearly mile from the entrance, and
there is no means of getting behind
the fire until crosscut mas been driv-
en- across the burning drift This will
enable the miners to bulkhead the en-
try from the rear, after which it is
believed that the fire can be smoth-
cred by fire shifts working into the
mine. Much difficulty is being expert
enceI in getting the men to enter the
mine
Frequently small explosion spreads
terror among the foreign miners, who
realize that terrific blast may oc-
cur at any moment Yesterday num-
ber of miners were brought to Has
tinss from Bowen. They entered the
mine, but refused to go back after the
first shift.
Upon Frank McDermott, the super
intendent of the mine, the hopes of
the company are now resting. McDer-,
mott, who was badly burned by the ex-
plosion that started the nre, alone
knows the exact location of the blaze
and is relied upon to lead the men to
the Sc at of the conflagration. Althou
badly injured, he was able today to di-
rect the work of starting the crosscut.
which it is hoped will intersect the
burning drift behind the blaze and en-
able measures to be taken to keep the
fire from spreading farther into the
workings.
AS soon as this work is completed
the drift will be bulkheaded and
sealed and the dangerous work of
working the fire back will be started.
McDermott tomorrow expects to lead a
shift of twenty volunteers in the real
attack on the blaze. Two shifts will
be kept at the entrance of the mine,
pady for immediate duty in relief
work.
At the offices of the Victor Fuel
Company at Hastings tonight it was
Maintained that the fire is now under
control and that the resumption of op-
erations is but matter of few
hours. General Manager w. H. Muir
ray OF Denver is on the ground and
n personal charge of operations. The
company was about ready to begin
taking coal out of the second level
when the fire broke out but the dis
aster has blocked this work.

appears that within the period men

$3.50 injured. which is a decrease of
1895 killed and 3297 injured as COM
pared with the preceding year. The
showing is bad enough, but the returns

Our Deceivina Senses.

Many readers no doubt are familiar
with Saxe's version of the Hindoo
legend relating the impressions If the
six blind men who went to see the
elephant; but few probably read it
with so much as a passing thought to
the great realm of mental phenomena
at which it hints. The first, it will be
remembered, happening to fall
against the elephants side, pronounced
him like wall; the second, feeling of
his tusk. thought him like a spear; the
third, taking his squirming trunk in
his hands, found him to be very like
a snake; and so the fourth, fifth and
sixth, judging from his leg, ear and
tail, each in turn insisted that he was
like tree, fan and a rope. little
reflection will show, of course, that the
difficulty with the six blind men was
mot inaccurate perception, if there
really be such thing; but insufficient
observation for correct generaliza-
ton, says Technical World Magazine.
Most, if not all of our knowledge of
the external world is gained through
the sense organs; and since few sub
tjects in that external world are of ele-
.mentary simplicity, it follows that the
ideas of most things are more or less
logical aggregations of all the percep-
tions to which it has given rise. Thus
the pencil hold in my hand manifests
itself to me in manifold ways. | see
its form, its size. its colors, its individ-
ual peculiarities of surface. l feel its
smoothness in places, its roughness in
others, its form also and even distin-
guish between the wood and the graph

finger; | smell the odor of the cedar
and (do I?) taste it also, in the same
way perhaps getting also a sensation
differing from the others, from the
graphite; and then l tap it with an
other pencil and hear the sound pro-
duced. Now all these, and many more,
percepts, each more or less distinct
from the others, go to make up the
idea of pencil.
