A DAY AT MULGA
By RICHARD F. LESSER

1 ness of some of the older miners, who fol- lowed the air and literally dragged ranic-stricken companions with them to safety. At that many came out with a sicl<ly feeling in their stomachs from catching an occasional sniff of the deadly after damp
 How terrible the race with death in the mine following the explosion cannot be graphically told, as men who go through such an experience are rather reluctant to recall by word of mouth the swfulness of the scene But from a few words caught here ane there from the survivors of groping about about on hand and knees, with face close to the floor of the mine; groping over the bodies of eead comrades, knowing that death is everywhere about; that though the lungs are almost bursting for want of a pure. good breath: to know that to lift the head and inhale that breath meant to die; then to struggle on and on and never to get anyhere. until it seemed the tenn ples bursted. and in mercy unconscious ness swept the victim; then to come back to life in the clear sunlight in the midst of friends and relatives-that was the ex- perience of a score or more of miners at Mulga last Monday. It is not surprising that in convalescence they are terse in recalling the horrible phantasm they had passed through To forget and to live was their only desire
 But to come back to the sceen of last Monday afternoon on the surface. The gnomes in the bowels of the earth were frantically seeking and there to save some faltering human light. The majority of the workmen in the mine had come up in safety. The watchers about the roped area had seen nearly a score come up that suffering from afterdamp and these had been removed in ambulances to their homes followed by relatives and friends. In the rush and hustle of 1t all no check had been taken of the res cued and though it was known that only the dead now remained in the mine. there was doubt as to who these were. Thus the anxiety of the crowd continued
 About 30 o'clock in the afternoon the first dead body came up. tarpaulin covered with coal dust covered the re- mains, and all that the onlookers saw Il litter on which appeared a bulky bundle which was quickly carried to the caboose of a special train waiting on spur track. The body was then taken to the commssary at Mulgas mile away, where waiting undertakers embalmed the dead man.
 It was only when the first body came ont of the mine that show of grief was made. It seemed that then the gather

 Ir. Claxton said the smaller colleges of the country, being unable to compete with the larger and richer colleges and universities. should confine their work to a two years course, specializing in the classics or sciences or the trades, and should employ the very best instructors ohtainable.
 Statistics, he said, show 66 per cent of the students leave college during the first and second years, thus damaging their entire field for the two years course.

Ing of humanity realized for the first time that some of the miners had been killed and negro woman let out low moan. In an instant other women let down the iloodgates of grief and for a few minutes tile tears of despair trickled on the faces of the feminine contingent. The men merely blinl<ed their eyes rapidly and shifted their feet. They looked awed-- mat Is, those that understood. the rest threw stones and played and frisked about In much the same way as usual.
 But the moaning and crying was soon over as several hours elapsed be- tween the time the first body came up and the next load of death. In the meantime nothing much happened On the promontories surrounding the min- Ing property stood little groups of men and women all with their eyes glued on the mine shaft so as not to miss anything that came up. Dusk came on and the evening shadows settled on the grim scene.
 Tho night was luminous. There was a stiffness only broken at intervals by the creaking of chains. It seemed as If meath the gleaming stars and clear moonlight nature slumbered in heavy immobility, in dead silence The moon rays gleamed on the grim iron bull warks of the tipple The flashing of many lights made the scene bizarre and conversation was held in hushed tones It seemed incongruous that such a beautiful night should shelter such misery and despair as the explosion had caused
 But soon the bodies were all out of the depths of the mine. It was an- nounced that the mine had been prac- ucally uninjured by the explosion and that in few days the surviving miners could return to their work The dead would be buried and the living would go back to the bowels Of the earth to dig and dig for coal that the mechan- ica1 energies of the world might go on: that wintry winds might be shut tied aside by the warmth of the fire side They would dig in the dark, damp hole until some day someone would err as someone did last Monday morning, and then the whole sick ening scene would be gone over again. There would he heroic rescues and heroic deaths and the surviving relatives would moan and cry just as they have done for time imm eriorial and then in few days the living would go back in the same place and work. The sea has drowned thou sands but sailors still attempt to mas ter its whims. It is much the same with miners. There is something akin to battle in laboring in the dark regions of the earth and a few hazards more or less have never deterred men from going forward
 Eo the day was spent at Mnlga. By 10 o'clock everyone began to leave the scenes It was estimated that only one more body remained in the mine and his identity was known so with heavy hearts straseling multitude wnded it's way with leaden feet to their homes. And to

The drive back to the city was made in silence. Much had been seen in Mulga, but little that was comfortable to talk or think about. There was nothing that one cared to remember and yet little that one could forget about that day in Mulgs The day was so remindful of the anguish of Guy De Maupassant when he wrote:
 There comes a day, you know, when no matter what you are looking at you see death lurking behind it. As for me, for the last fifteen years I have felt the torment of it, as if I were carrying d gEawing beast I have felt it dragging me down, little by little, month by month, hour by hour, like house that is crumb- ling away. Breathing, sleeping, eating drinking, working, dreaming. everything we do Is simply dying by inches. Now see it so near that I often stretch out my arm to thrust it back..'
