Wilkes Barre, Pa. March 9.-Forty
men, workers in the big No. IL
CoIliery Of the Erie railroad mines al
Port Griffith, escaped death by the
merest chance. An explosion occurred
In the mine, and hope for the men was
almost abandoned. as a wall OF fr.

BY great good luck the imprisoned
men, mindful of their danger, man
aged to breaw a way through from the
gangway, where they were caught by
the fire, into an old working. BY this
means they reached an outlet Of the
mine before the su6ocating smoke
Overcame them.
They were five hours making their
Journey, and during that period there
was little hope Of ever seeing them
alive. There was great cheering and
rejoicing when the waiting crowds
at the mouth of the shaft heard the
news.
AS It was. two men met death and
twelve others we're badly burned or
otherwise injured. Both the dead men
are foreigners
The explosion is generally believed
to have been caused by a careless
miner It is said this man needed a
mine rail and went into an abandoned
chamber to look for one. He had a
lighted lamp on his hat. and the ex
plosion followed. Brattices and doors
were torn out and mine cars tossed
from the tracks. All was in darkness
and miners who had escaped injury
CROPPED their way out, picking up the
injured on the way.
But back i'm the mine we're others

was put to work as a rescuer. Hos
was sent down the shaft in order to
fight the blaze with water, and air
was forced toward the section where

The news that an explosion had oc

The mine officials. although they knew |
the IRE was between them and the

utterly although they didn't see how /
the men could get out But they had

Of the imprisoned men themselves.
and we're as much surprised as joyed
when the news came that the men had

A NEW KIND OF
CORN FROM CHINA

a small lot of shelied corn, of a

sent TO the L. s. department of agri-
culture from Shanghai. China. in

proved TO have qualities that may
make it valuable in breeding a corn
adapted TO the hot and dry conditions

In the test averaged less than 6 feet
In height, with an average of u green
leaves at the time of tasseljae The
ears averaged : y inches in length and
Id inches in greatest circumference
with l6 to is rows of small grains
On the upper part of the plant the
leaves are all on one side of the stalk
instead of being arranged in two rows
on opposite sides. Besides this. the
upper leaves stand erect. instead of
dropping, and the tips of the leaves
are therefore above the ton of he
tassel. The silks of the ear are pro-
duced at the point whore the leaf

they appear before there is anv sign
