BALTIMORE, April 1.-(SpeciaD- 4 quadruIle investigation is beins made in an effort to ascertain the cause of the explosion of dynamite on board the British tramp steamer hfty-six were killed, seventy injured. and property damage of between S650,000 and $900.0O6 done.
 The Navy department at Washing ton, the Interstate Commerce Com mission, which has jurisdiction over the shipment of explosives in Ameri- can waters; the British consul at Gilbert Fraser, under whose protection were most of the killed Welshmen, and the city of Bal timore, which is taking an active in terest iii the matter. although it has no jurisdiction over the part of the arbcr outside the municipal limits. ali are locking into the matter, and, SO far, fruitlessly.
 The very nature of the explosion. which so Jerrifically shattered every thing in the vicinity fthe accident, probably will prevent the determina tion of the real cause beyond more than mere conjecture Most opinions now tend to the belief that coal in tee for distribution and this togeth- CT with the clothing sent in by other people has been of great benefit.

he bunkers O the Alum Chine caught fire spontaneously and that the flames were communicated to the dynamite which was being transferred to the Chine.
 The federal government is partfcu. larly interested in the matter because of the great damage done to national property At Forts Howard. Armi- stead, and Carroll great cracks made in the foundation of the heavy guns and fssares were opened in the very walls of the forts. Tn addition, the damage to the new naval collier Ja- son. which lay anchored near the Alum Chine and was about to be ac- cepted by the United States govern ment. is greater than was at first re- ported.
 In addition to the property loss. which may run up to S900,000. suits or damages may total over S1.000 GOO.
 Opinions of explosion experts lead to the conclusion that the exact num- ter of dead never will be known. Many bodies, it is believed, were torn to snerds and many others are thought to have been carried to the bottom with the Alum Chine, and may never be recovered.

TO CURB THE DlRlGlBLES
German Invention That Is Considered
by Military Men to Be Of I'm.
mense Importance.

The German paper Schuss and
Waite describes bullet named for its
inventor, Lentz, for which great things
are claimed in the way of destroying
dirigible balloons, which will undoubt
eddy appear in the next war between
nations Of the first rank.
Instead of being a shell fired from a
howitzer. like other projectiles Of this
sort, this bullet can be made up into
cartridges for the ordinary rifle.
Two prongs are held in slots in the
bullet while it is in the barrel of the
rifle, but fly out when it is in the air.
When 1t enters a balloon casing, the
strain On these prongs releases
spring, which explodes primer, set
ting the gas on fire.
While a dirigible might escape the
few shells fired at it by a cannon, it
would hardly hope to pass unhit
through the hail of bullets fired by a
regiment; and one such bullet explod-
ing within its envelope .ould destroy
the balloon, as the unfortunate Well
man balloon exploded last year.

The Seven Stars.

The Seven Stars, or the Pleiades,
are spoken of in the earliest litera-
ture that we have, and with reason,
since they constitute one of the most
conspicuous Of the heavenly objects.
The author of the Book of Job refers
to the Pleiades, and frequent refer
ences to the constellation are to be
found in the Greek and Roman class
les. AS to the distance of the Seven
Stars, it may be said that careful cal
culations have shown that Alcyone,
the member of the group around
which the sun and the whole solar
system were once thought to revolve,
is some 954, 000,000,00O,000 miles
from us-a distance that it would re-
quire light about 100 years to travel
Ts'- seems to be the answer. Il ro1
