FATAL Mine EXPLOSION.

At Least Thirty Lives Lost-More
Than Fifty Men Entombed, Only
Twenty Of. Whom Have Been
Rescued.
Naraimo, B. c., Special.-Thiry
lives are known to have been lost in
an explosion that" entombed more
than so men in the Extension mine
of the Wellington Colliery Company
here Tuesday. twenty-five of the
imprisoned men were rescued, but the
rapidly spreading fire prevented the
rescue.s from completing their work.
Eight bodies were recovered and the
workers late Tuesday night were
making every effort to force further
entrance into the two levels affected
by the explosion in an effort to save
any who may be living and to recover
the botlies of the dead before they are
consumed.
The fire was constantly gaining
headwsy Tuesday night and while it
continues there is little hope Of the
rescue1s being able to reach the i'm
prisond men. All the men rescued
were badly injured.
The men employed in the collieries
on Vancouver island are Of the bet
ter class of British miners, are will
paid and have comfortable homes.
The Wellington Colliery Company
which owns the Extension mine is
controlld by British Columbia capi-
talists, Lieut.. Gov. James Dunsmuir

Genesis Of the Watermelon.

The humorist always asso ciates
the African with the watermelon,
assuming that the taste OF the
colored man for his favorite
dainty arises from his life in the
southern states. where the melon
vine grows like a weed.
As a fact, however. the African
taste for the watermelon is hered-
itary. The vine is a native of
Africa. where it is found wild in
the great central plains of The
continent, and has also been cul-
tivated for many ages.
In Egypt the melons grown
along the Nile rival those of
southeastern Missouri.
The melons mentioned by the
lsraelites as being among the
good things they had in Egypt
were undoubtedly watermelons.
for in the wall paintings about
the time of the exodus the melon
vine is represented. and in one
case a long procession of slaves
is depicted. each bearing on his
shoulder huge dark-green water-
melon.
Botanists say that varieties of
the melon are found in southern
Asia, and some even claim that
the plant grows wild in Central
and South Africa; but Africa is no
doubt the original home of the
melon, and in his preference over
every other kind Of vegetable or
fruit the African merely displays
a taste that has become fixed in
his race by thousands of years of
indulgence, for in Central Africa
ripe watermelons are to be had
every month in the year.
