TRAPPED BY FIRE IN A MINE
GAS EXPLOSION CAUSES DISAS-
TER IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Work of Rescue Retarded by Debris
and After Damp-More Than
100 Victims.

Pittsburgh, Pa.-One hundred min
ers, possibly 120, were killed shortly
after noon when a disastrous eXplo
sion occurred in the Cincinnati mine
of the Monongahela River Console
dated Coal and Coke company at Fin
leyville, about q miles southeast OF
| this city.
More than three score of workmen
in the mine made thrilling escapes to
the surface. crawling most of the
time on their hands and knees
through deadly gas fumes and over
debris. A number suffered burns.
Up to II o'clock at night 20 bodies
of victims had been recovered
The bodies were located by rescuing
squads of the United States Bureau
of Mines, the Monongahela River Con-
solidated Coal and Coke company and
of the Pittsburg Coal company.
AS the rescuers found body, ii was
carried to the entries. None of the
bodies, however, was brought to the
open.
Two-thirds of the dead are foreign
ers. Elmer Boyle, George Vickers,
Harry Parker and Peter Mercer, all
fire bosses, are among the known
dead.
Conditions in the mine, as far as it
could be penetrated, indicate that
most of the men were not killed by
the explosion, but were caught by
after damp. The bodies were found
scattered in the entrances where
death by asphyXiation overlook the
victims while they were attempting to
reach safety.
The mine caught fire, but at late
hour it was said that the fire had been
subdued. Rescue work Is being
carried on with difficulty, owing to the
fire and deadly fumes. The coal COM
pany maintains a rescue corps pat
termed after the federal mine force.
Aid from the federal mining experts,
it is said, was declined by the coal
company.
Only a few of the miners who
reached the surface were in condition
to talk. Suffering from burns or
fright, the miners only knew that an
explosion had occurred and that a
large number of men were either kill
ed by the explosion or asphyXiated by
the after Damp"

DISCOVER THE GERM OF
INFANTILE PARALYSIS

New York, oct. DIR, Simon FleXner,
director of the Rockefeller Institute for
Medical Research, ana DIR. FIidoyo No
guchi, one of his distinguished fellow
workers in that institution. have sue
cccdcd at last in cultivating artincialv
the germ that is responsible for epidemic
poliomyelitis commonly known as in
fautilc paralysis. Their account of the
experiments leading mp to this long
hoped for result appears in the current
issue of the Journal of Experimental
Medicine. After describing hitherto un-
successful attempts to demonstrate the
'ncro-organsm under the microscope
and develop it in artificial cultures, the
writer's say:
"Durng the several years that cpl
demc poliomyeitis has prevailed in the
eastern United States we have collect
ed many specimens from affected human
beings and monkeys Portions of ner-
vous and other organs We're regularly set
aside in 80 per cent. sterile gIycerin in
the refrigerator. Hence there We're
available for the cultivation tests both
fresh specimens yielded by recent autop-
sizes upon human beings and monkeys
and material preserved for periods rang
ing from a few days to many months.
THE new experiments in cultivation
were begun in the summer of 1872, when
many acute cases of poliomYelitis were
being cared for in the hospitals of the
Rockefeller Institute. Autopsies were
performed upon fatal cases Thus the
cultivation was carried out simultane-
ously upon fresh, sterile or practically
sterile (for ordinary bacterial specimens
derived from human beings and from
monkeys eXperimentally inocuated, and
upon glycerinated specimens from both
sources"
The authors explain that any part of
the central nervous system Is suitable
for experimentation. but that the brain
is to be preferred for the reason that
1t can be obtained more readily. They
say:
under the microscope. when properly
strained, the mcro-organsm were
found to be of very minute size, glob-
ular in form, hanging together In short
chains. pairs and small masses devoid
of independent motility.'
