extensive review chorus of

most without exception they say
the story is better than "The

Onecritic says the novel is "beau-

remarkable thing about this love
story is that the heroine is also

Here is a collection Of short
stories mostly set in the islands
of the South Sea under British
dominion. They have the in
describable atmosphere of a
tropic land and the broad spirit
of humanity that is born when
ever the savage and the civilized
are found living their lives side
by side. Many of them are
love stories, with the unusual
motives and setting of the trop-
les, and all are characteristic

Liberals, Laborites and Irish Nation
alists find themselves in the majority
with an advantage of l22 seats. >
In the new house of commons the
Liberals will be unable to legislate
without Laborite or Nationalist sup

position to throw the government out
at any time they see fit unless the
Unionists come to the rescue, as it is
conceivable they might do under GER
tain circumstances.
For the first time since the cleo
tons for parliament were begun the
returns showed the Liberals as a
party to be in the lead, Independent
of the Laborites and Irish National
lists. They have an advantage of one
over the Unionists.
The position of the parties at pres
ent is: Liberals, 271; Unionists, 270;
Irish Nationalists, 80; Laborites, 40.

CLAWS ON THE STAND

Washington, Jan. 29-The proceed
ings in the Ballinger-Pinchot inquiry,
which up to this time have consisted
largely of reading into the record of
the inquiry the various letters, tele-
grams, ETC., which heretofore have
been made public in message trans
mitted to the senate by President Taft,
took on a ivelier aspect when Louis
R. CLAWS, continuing his testimony
against Secretary Ballinger, told of
various. interviews he had with the Sec
rotary of the interior at various times
while he was in and out of the govern
ment service.
Mr.. CLAWS declared that in one of
these interviews in October, 1908, Mr.
Ballinger told him he was having a

SEVERE STORMS IN EUROPE
Tremendous Loss Of Life and Prop
erty Reported.

London, Jan. 2S.-Adv;ces from Eu-
ropean seaports show that fully 200
vessels, mostly small fishing craft,
have been lost in the storm of the
last forty-eight hours and that there
has been loss of life in the sinking of
at least half of these boats.
Italy, Spain, Germany and the Scan
dinavian countries report tremendous
loss of property and life, with a
greatly increased death roll feared
from the isolation of many towns by
high water and snow blockades. The
situation is the most appalling that
Europe has known in many years.
Belated vessels arriving are in
battered condition.
Reports from Naples say the water
front there has been flooded and the
Quays wrecked.
The interior of Spain is practically
cut off from outside communication
and the extent of damage there can
not be ascertained.

Explosion Kills Nearly One Hon,

MANY BODIES ARE RECOVERED
Seventy-nine Found in Heap at

Primero, Colo, Feb. lone hun
dred and forty-nine men are believed
to have been killed by an explosion
in the Primero mine of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company.
Seventy-nine bodies of the victims
of the explosion were found piled
high in a mass at the foot of the air
shaft. When the explosion occurred
the men evidently made rush to
escape through the air shaft and were
suffocated as they battled with each
other for freedom. It is shown by the
timekeepers records that there were
149 men in the mine at the tine of
the explosion. None are believed to
be alive The main shaft of the mine
is completely wrecked.
Rescue parties are making desper-
ate efforts to reach the interior work
ings cut off from the outside by the
caving of the main shaft.
Three men were killed at the mouth
of the mine slope by the force of the
explosion.
Both fans with which the mine is
equipped were shattered and it was
impossible to enter the mine until
they were repaired.
AS soon as the fans were repaired
General Superintendent J. F. Thomp-
son and a rescue party entered by the
main air shaft, but were unable to
reach the main shaft, which is COM
pletely blocked. The party returned
to the surface after securing five
bodies, which were badly burned.
Little Hope for Entombed Men.
There is little hope that any Of the
men in the mine are alive.
Most of the victims are Slavs and
Hungarians. Pit Boss Wilhelm is
known to be among the missing.
The camp is scene of indescribable
horror. While every ab]ebodied man
is taking his turn with pick and shovel
to clear the shaft, the women and chill.

say that the effect of the explosion un-
derground is indescribable. The bodies
recovered were horribly burned and
unrecognizable. One body was i'm

A similar explosion in which twenty
four were killed occurred in the same
property Jan. %, 1907. The bodies
were not recovered for weeks.

cause they were angry at not being
granted patents for the Alaska coal
lands. Representative James of Ken
lucky, one of the Democratic members
of the committee, bounced upon this
testimony and cross-examined the wit.
ness about it at some length.
CLAWS said that Mr.. Ballinger asked
him to hold up on the Alaskan cases
until after election. He agreed to do
this, because he had his hands full
with another case.

ABOARD A SUBMARINE.

The Crew, tho Work and the Kind Of
Life the Men Lead.
Life aboard a submarine is not so
unpleasant or dangerous as one might
imagine, but it is entirely different
from that led on other types of ships.
The crew. usually consisting of two
officers and fourteen men. is selected
from volunteers after most rigid
medical examination. Service rarely
extends beyond period Of two years,
and real work on submarine is limit
ed to about three weeks in the sum-
mer and one in the winter During the
remainder of the time the men live on
a ''parent" ship or on shore. The boat
is. however. put through the various
evolutions once every week.
The first impression on entering a
submarine is one of heat, the air being
rather close and heavy, but the men
soon become accustomed to it. Stand
ing room space is about six and one
half feet. and toward both ends the
boat tapers away almost to point.
There are no portfolios. The hatchway
in the coming tower Is the only aper-
ture. Under water electric light is
used. There are ventilators. but when
the boat dives they are shut of with
cap
Life on board a submarine is essen
TALLY ''in common" The way men
and many objects are crammed to-
gether in a narrow space is almost
miraculous.
Cooking is done in an electric oven,
and no foods which have strong or
dfsagreeable smell are used. OF course
smoking is allowed only when on the
surface and then on the bridge. Ow-
ing to the character Of the men select
ed discipline is perfect.
There is scarcely any noise in SUBJ
marine when submerged. The greatest
depth the boat descends does not ex-
coed thirty feet. At. that depth her
speed is about 8 knots. The air is
quite 'breathab BILE" for four hours. but
in case Of emergency the crew can re-
main closed in for seventy hours with
out danger
The men love the life. With the off,
GERS they are as one family, sharing
everything equally, including the dan
gers. which are not much to speak Of.
provided every one does his duty.
When the weather is fair there is very
little rolling In rough weather the
men escape knocking about by holding
on to ''steddying lfnes."-New York

Few Women Stop to Consider Trif,es,
