The Fell's mizzen sail was torn to pieces
and her jib stays broken off and the
Felfs davits bent and twisted. The SER

GEN. Blx6Y SAYS EMPHASIZES THREE MAGAZINES HAD
 EXPLODED.
Theory of Outside Explosion Is Prov en to be Wholly unfound. ..
 ed, Says Expert

Washington, July 5.--The loss of the batteship Maine was caused by the explosion of her three magazines
 No such effect as that produced upon the vessel could have been caused by an explosion from without:
 Suca is the opinion of Gen. Wm H. Bixby, Chief of Engineers, U. S. A.. who has returned after a person al inspection of the work of raising the Maine.
 Gen. Bixby said tonight that por- tion of the deck over the magazines was blown upward and laid back ward and that there were numerous conditions of the hulk as it lays in Havana harbor, whicn proved this. the general could have caused the same result.
 What the primary cause of the explosion was said General Bixby, never will be learned"
 General Bixby does not believe that the bodies of those who lost their lives will be found on the Maine. He says says theyy are probably buried i've hundred feet or more from the wreck in the mud.

THE USUAL LUCK

l shot an arrow into the air, and then 1 gave it no further care, but split some kindIing and fed the hogs, and threw some bricks at the neigh bOrs' dogs, and did my chores with a joyous mind, and woe and trouble seemed far behind. That night d peeler came to my bed. and broke his billy upon my head, and bore me off to moldy cell, and there I sit on stool and yell. And there it's likely that I'll remain; my arrow ruined an aeroplane. It flew right into an airship's works, and made the rudder give mighty jerks, and knocked some cogs from the jingle gig, and tore q hole in the thing umyjig. The man who rode on that ship in style was knocked from his perch, and fell mile. and when he landed, alack! alas! he. broke an acre of greenhouse glass. I'm charged with arson and larceny, and homicide in the steenth degree, and breach of promise and other crimes, and lawyers badger me for inv dimes. 1 shot an arrow one evil day, let ii fly in my ai2ck way: there was wood to saw, there were chores begun. there were useful tasks that 1 should have done, but I fooled around like d useless clam: l shot my arrow, and here l am ,-WalU Mason.

JUST DOG

The batter of his nimble feet
 Makes music on the floor; He's always sure the first to greet
 You at the open door. He's sad or happy, grave or gay,
 What suits your mood he'll De-s There's nothing doing in the day
 But he's on deck to see. Or sad or gay, it's all the same,
 He always plays his part; At every mention of his name,
 His eyes speak out his heart. He's faithful, honest, good and true,
 A friend through thick and thin, You know he'd gladly die for you;
 His hope, your love to win. Just dog! That's all, I hear you say,
 But that's enough for me, For dog and faith have stood for aye They're always one you see. J. B. Darlington in Browning's Maga
