The strongest passages of the Irish
satire called forth only filters where
Kisses and outbursts of anger had
been expected. The audience that
filled the theater refused to take 1t Sc

SLEEPING IN CHURCH.
Rsstful Psws From the Serious and
Humorous Standpoints.

HeeduI PeWs From the Serious and
Humorous Standpoints.
II Is matter Of common expert
ence that bright lights In chamber,
church or hall where numerous per-
sons are gathered have the effect OF
producing drowsiness among certain
members Of the congregation or audi
ence. This phenomenon is easily ex-
planned by the current knowledge OF
hypnotism. The drowsiness produced
by the lights is a species OF hypnosis.
IL has been suggested also that lack OF
proper ventilation causes toxic quail
~ In the atmosphere to which some
people are especially susceptible, the
result being an irresistible drowsiness.
Sleeping In church has always been
a ready subject for humor. II is re-
lated that on one occasion when pro
posal was under discussion to have a
series OF sermons preached on topics

public minds Rufus Choate, as a mem

also an anecdote OF an old Scotchman
who was asked IL he knew a certain
man in the same neighborhood. Know

"why. I've sleepit in the same kirk

jority OF preachers have never been

the matter any more than Dean Swift.

Terrific Mine Explosion In France
Miners Probably Dead.

Lens France, Sept. 4.-Thirty-seven
coal miners are believed to have been
killed in an explosion of fire damp
yesterday afternoon In the Clarence
Coal mine near Bruay, in the depart
ment of Nord.
The explosion was severe one
and badly wrecked the mine. Seven
ty-three men were working in the pit
at the ting The work of rescue was
started without delay, but 1t proved
most difficult as the passage OF the
most difficult as the passages of the
mine were filled with dense black
vapor and the walls were continuously
collapsing.
Up to nightfall the rescuers had
taken out three bodies and 20 living
miners. All those rescued alive were
fearfully burned. Only 10 miners, who
were working near the mouth of the
shaft, escaped uninjured.
Last night crowds of relatives and
friends of the men entombed in the
mine were pressing about the gates
of the colliery, hoping against hope
that they will be rescued unframed.
Although the rescuers have not relin-
pushed their task of getting into the
mine. the farther they penetrate it
the more choked up they nd the pas
sage, showing that the explosion was
terrific one. The entombed men
were working in a remote part of the
pit and officers of the mine believe
that 1t will be impossible to save any
of them.

HIGH AND LOW CITIES.
AM the Difference In Our Attitudes
East and West.


The differences between the eastern
and western elevations In this country
are curiously striking. Colorado has
forty peaks that are more than 1900
feet above sea level. Mount Washing
ton. In New Hampshire. and Mount
Mitchell, In North Carolina. the highest
peaks in the Appalachian system north
and south respectively, are considerably
less than half as high as this above the
ocean.
Several transcontinental railway lines
In the west pull their main line trains
over a greater elevation than that
reached by the cog railroad up New
Hampshire's above mentioned peak.
These western elevations are. of course,
reached gradually.
Most large cities lie low. Chicago Is
only about coo feet above sea level
and Pittsburgh but a hundred feet
higher. Philadelphia ranges from sea
level to height In its suburbs OF some
300 feet. Minneapolis, near the head
of the Mississippi, has an elevation OF
less than 1000 feet, and various parts
Of New Orleans, at the mouth Of the
great river. are recorded in the gov
eminent tables as having elevations Of
from one foot to fifty feet. st. Louis
lies about halfway between these ter
minal cities.
Montana is away up, with Its lead
ing city perched at the elevation Of the
highest peaks of the Adirondack noun
tains. In Denver there is a mark near
the state capitol which Is just one mile
above sea level.-New York Sun.
