SHIP REMAINS
BACK TO CHINA
Two ceIestials Who Were Buried
Twenty-Five Years ago Have
Been Unearthed.

UNION CITY Ind. Dec. 20.--After
they had been buried in the cemetery
here for twenty-five years, the bones
of How Kong and his brother, known
as Chung Lung, were dug up and in
suit cases were taken to Cleveland.
Soon, with the bones Of twenty-five
other Chinese who have died in this
country, they will be shipped to Hong
Kong.
Bow Hong and Chunk Lung died in
a hideous tragedy in little laundry
they operated for their brother, Sam
Hong. Bow Hong, after trying in
vain to persuade Chung Lung to de
sert SANS laundry and start place
of their own, murdered his companion
with an ak as he was sleeping. Bow
Hong then plunged into his own body
many times a crooked Chinese dag
ger. and finally thrust the weapon into
4 his throat before he fell
Every year Chinese have put food
on the graves of their two friends, sc
that the evil spirits might be placated
and permit the dead to rest in peace

the explosion threw the big Mall and
Breeze press into gear and it ran all
the time the fire was raging.
About twenty-five people were work
ing in the building at the time. More
than 400 are employed there during
week days.
The cables in the Bell Telephone
conduit, which runs through the base
ment under the sidewalk, were burn
ed out, and portion of the city is
without Bell telephone connection.
Fire department officials say that
the natural gas came from a leak in
one Of the city gas mains and was
conducted to the Capital building
through telephone conduit. This is
the third gas explosion in the bust
mess district within the last week.
Mayor Green says the gas mains are
! in leaky condition and that the
business district of Topeka is standing
over veritable gas reservoir. The
4 people are greatly alarmed. The gas
company has been ordered to replace
all of its old gas mains in the bust
ness section with new pipes immed
lately.
:. ''In ordinary weather, with norma
gas pressure. the gas from the leaks
easily seeps through the ground to thu
surface" said Fire Chief Wilmarth
But for two weeks the ground has
been covered with a sheet of ice
The weather has been cold and the
gas pressure has been even beyond
the maximum. AS a result, more ga
has been forced through the leaks
and, as it could not seep to the SUI
face on account of the coat of ice,
has been driven into the sewers ant
!, telephone conduits, and the explosion
have resulted"

Why Thunder is So Loud.

Experiments made in the Jefferson
Physical Laboratory by Professor
Trowbridge of Harvard university
show that the astounding noise of
lightning discharge is largely due to
the dissertation of water vapor,
through the explosion of the hydrogen
and oxygen gases produced by such
dissertation In his mimic lightning
experiments the authority referred to
has produced torrent of huge cleo
trio sparks. The noise of the dis
charge was so great that the operator
had to stop his ears with cotton and
then wrap a heavy cloth around them.
