Lives Lost and an Immense Quantity

Explosion in Chicago

Chicago, Ill. Jan. ga terrific ex-
plosion, the detonation of which was
heard for many miles, and which hurl-

A number Of employees are reported
killed by the explosion, which COM
pletely wrecked the building
The explosion came absolutely with
out warning and just a the employees
OF the elevator were beginning their
days work. With a roar that shook
the ground in the vicinity of the ele-
vator, the immense structure heaved
in the air, hurting tons and tons Of
grain stored there before being trans
ported to mills all over the country.

Following close on the explosion fire
broke out in many parts of the wreck

scene. Valiant efforts on the part of
the fremen and rescuing parties to

buried in the ruins failed, and retreat

blaze uncertain how many human
lives were being quenched in that

MUCH WEALTH N AAkATEA
Frenckmen are Obtaining Immense
Quantities of Forfate from an
Island in the Pacific Ocean

Washington. ain. 2s.-It is estimated
that Makatea, an island of the So
ciety Group about 120 miles northeast t
of Tahiti, contains 100000 tons of
high grade phosphate, averaging 81
per cent. with many million tons
more of inferior quality, writes Consul
Winship.
That peaceful island has been trans
formed into a busy field OF action. the
office force of the French company
exploiting fine deposits, its star Of en-
gineers and 1aborers there aggregat-
ing over 600 persons. Although there
are still a few Tahitians employed, the
labor problem has been solved by i'm
porting $50 Japanese, who are giving
perfect satisfaction. The entire force
at Makatea is fed and housed by the
company, which brings it into the
market for all kinds Of foodstufrs.
The small steamer Cholita makes
two trips a week between Tahiti and
Makatea, carrying water, provisions
and mail. There being no harbor at
Makatea it was necessary TO employ
deep-sea moorings, which have been
successfully laid, and large vessels
are now easily moored and the phos-
phate loaded from strong surf boats
with a capacity Of two tons each.
The force now at work in Makatea
can furnish and load about 100 tons
of phosphate a day, but this cannot
be regularly kept up at present, ow-
ing to the almost constant rains dur
ing the summer months and to the fact
that all the drying is dependent upon
the sun and the crushing upon human
force. An English engineer from
|Ocean Island Is at Makatea, however,
busily engaged in installing an cleo
trio light plant of 240 horsepower for
lighting the island, for propelling the
cars carrying phosphate. and also to
run the crushing and drying plant
now under construction. When this
undertaking is completed, about Feb
ruary, 1912, fifteen tons can easily be
turned out each working hour. The
present intention of the company IS
only to extract, dray and crush the
phosphate at Makatea.
In 1910 there were 10000 tons OF
phosphate extracted; this year the fig
lures will reach 10000 tons: and it is
hoped that the 1912 shipments will
reach 100000 tons, which is the
amount estimated as necessary to ex-
port yearly for the investment to be
| a paying one.

Why is it that we so easily forget
that the little things in life are what
make it easy or hard? A few pleasant
words, warm hand-clasp, a cordial
letter, are simple things, but they are
mighty in their influence on the lives
of those about us, adding a ray of hope
to many disconsolate hearts, giving
bit of courage to disappointed, weary
ones, and helping to make our own
lives sweeter at the same time Few
people realize how much the little at
tentions of everyday life mean to
their associates in the home, the
church, the business place.
