EnoIand,s cr.ates Zine Fire,

The most serious cUlliery fire ever
known in Britain was undoubtedly
that which broke out at the Tawd val
ley mine, near Preston. in 1872. Thou
sands of pounds were spent in trying to
get the flames under control. but they
overcame everything and consumed
some millions Of tons Of coal A wall
ten feet in thickness was built round
the affected parts. but the heat cracked
the masonry and brought 1t down as
fast as it was rebuilt However. In
1897 the river Tawd overf1owed Its
banks and went pouring down into the
mine. No fire could withstand such ar
immense volume of water hurled upon
1t, and, although the flames extended
for 500 yards. they were quenched
after having ragged for a quarter Of q
century Tit-Bits.

puzzled me.
Rutherford was supposed to be in
love with Anna Clarendon. had
heard gossip about 1t several times
since his return from abroad some
months ago. Did he wish for Barring
power in order to read the girls heart,
or did he fear her for some secret
Of his own if Anna should be taught
too well?
There was a general impression that
Rutherford had sown a heavy crop of
wild oats. but ! knew nothing to his
serious discredit, and the fact that
Barring, who was the soul of honor,
still remained his friend was excellent
evidence In his favor. Suppose. how
ever, that Barring did know some Sc
cret of Rutherford's that should be
bar to his marriage with Anna Clar-
endon. Barring might be bound in hon
or not to betray his friend. and yet he
might feel privileged to school Anna
In the mysteries of character reading
for her own protection. But this was
mere guesswork on my part. The facts
In the case came to my knowledge
presently.

A READER OF
HUMAN FACES.
Expert Was Clever In Some Ways,
but Stupid In Love.
BY HOWARD FIELDING.


copyright. 1910. by American Press Asso-
ciation.l
At General Clarendon's house the
other evening In merry company Of
young people such as may very often
be found there the talk CHANGED to
turn upon the reading of the human
countenance. This topic was suggest
ed by the presence of Walter Barring,
whose recent articles on facial express
sion have been widely discussed. Bar
ing was, of course, the only one Of
us whose opinion was worth penny,
ny, but we had the usual readiness to
display and defend our ignorant con-
lectures, the usual unwillingness to
see the difference between well con-
sidered theory and a mere notion. The
upshot Of it was that Barring consent
ed to perform an experiment for us.
He wrote a sentence on a slip Of pa
per and put it under a book on ia
BILE. Then he left the room. AS had
been agreed, we drew lots when he
was gone, and the choice fell upon me
to look at what he had written. It
was: when this Is done you will
have failed. l will have won"
put the paper into my pocket and
resumed my place. Barring had ar
ranged US in close group. so that he
could command our faces at a single
glance. He returned and. standing
before us, said:
When this is done you will have
failed. l shall have won"
1t may have been the "shalP' that
caught me, for ] had remarked, with
surprise. the incorrect Twill" In the
written sentence. Though l was not
conscious of any change of express
sion, my face must have betrayed me-
for Barring instantly pointed me out.
81 will try it again." said he. with
a somewhat different trick"
He wrote longer sentence and stip-
ulated that whoever should read it
must remember it. The person chosen
by lot In Baring's absence was Anna
Clarendon. the generals daughter. and
Barring singled her out without a mo-
ment's hesitation.
'It was you who read the sentence"
said he, 'but you've forgotten it."
This proved to be true. Barring had
written one of those tangled absurdi-
ties which are so hard to memorize,
and it had slipped from Miss Claren-
don's mind. Her inward struggle to
regain it was perfectly clear to Bar
ing's trained eye.
There was young man named VIII
lis Rutherford present. and l observed
that he was deeply impressed by Bar
ing's exhibition. though 1t was not new
to him, for the two were close friends
and Rutherford had seen many severer
tests Of the others powers

Fossils and Gold.

In Alaska the bones and often the
entire bodies of extinct animals, such
as the mammoth, the mastodon, the
reindeer and the bison, are found most
abundantly in layers of soil directly
above gold bearing gravels. So init
mate is this association between fossil
animal remains and auriferous depos-
its that one scientist who has explored
Alaska says fossils serve prospectors
as indexes of the metallic richness OF
the soil. In ancient times both gold
and the bones of animals were deposit
ed at the bottoms of valleys by action
of rivers and smaller streams, many
Of which have now disappeared; conse-
quently the appearance of fossils is, 1t
is claimed, an almost certain indication
that gold will be found in the neigh
borhood. The cabins of many miners
are ornamented with huge tusks and

LAPLAND BABIES.
Fer Their First Few Months They Live
In Wicker Baskets.

ror heir FIRST Few Months They Live
In Wicker Baskets.
Little Laplanders spend the first
few months of their existence in bas-
kets Of wickerwork provided at the
top with a conical framework too
close for the baby to fall through and
yet giving the infant plenty Of light
and air.
Before commencing her work for the
day the Lapp mother places her child
In the basket and hangs it on the limb
Of some nearby tree, occupation being
found for the little one by stringing
toys under a cord passed across the
top Of the basket.
Thus provided the child spends the
entire day in the open and yet at the
same time is guarded from the trou-
bles and dangers of outdoor child life
In other countries.
The basket idea curiously parallels
the Indian idea of strapping the pa
poose into carrying case, but the
Lapp baby has the advantage over it's
Indian fellow in that its limbs are un-
confined and certain amount Of lib
erty Of movement is afforded.
The child is carried from place to
place In the same basket, the cord by
which it ia attached to a tree being
slung over the shoulder
