SIN THOUSAND FEET Is AS FAT

New York World.)

(New York World)
Considering that the diameter OF
the earth is 5000 miles. we can only
scratch the surface.
One OF the Lake Superior copper
mines has reached a depth of 4.575
feet; the Speremberg shaft, near Ber-
lin, is $3.50 feet deep; the Schladeloch
mine, near Merseburg, Germany, has
gone down 5,52S feet, and the Paru-
schowitz mine, in Silesia, had to give
up operations after 5000 feet had been
reached.
The gigantic ropes can barely car
ry their own weight after they reach
a depth of 5000 feet, and are unable
to carry a carriage besides. More
over, mining entails a turning of dia-
mond or other drills, and no power
has been discovered to turn drill
at a greater distance than 5000 feet;
and even then several hours are re-
qiured to give the drills a turning
movement.
So far all delving into the ground
has had a commercial objective; but

shaft, and these can be multiplied ad
libitum. Exactly how he intends to
meet the temperature conditions has
not been disclosed. Practical men hold
that 5000 feet is the limit of depth
that can be reached in safety.

REPORT OF VILLAS DEATH STILL
UNCONFIRMED.

Washington, April 19.--Con1rma-
tion Of the death Of Francisco villa
was still lacking last night at the
State and War Departments and at
the Mexican embassy. The only dis
patch from American sources in Mex
leo tending to lend color to the report
was a brief statement from Major
Howe of the Eleventh Cavalry, now
near Parral, that he had information
which led him to believe that the ban
dit and a small party of followers had
fled some days ago toward Barja,
which is close to the place where I'M
official Mexican reports says the body
was found.
The outstanding feature of the days
messages from the border were re-
ports to the War Department that six
Mexicans had confessed to having
taken part in the raid on Columbus,
n. NJ, had been captured and sent to
Columbus for trial by the New Mex
leo state authorities. Another official
report relieved anxiety as to the sup
ply problem for the troops at the
front. 1t said the forces we're now
fully supplied with the exception of a
small shipment of horse shoes and
clothing, which would go forward to-
day An ample supply of gasoline
was on hand, the message said, for the
motor trucks and aeroplanes.
The body supposed TO be that of
Villa was said by the last Mexican re-
ports to be en- route to Chihuahua City.
It was pointed out at the War Depart
ment, however. that the point where
it was found was nearly two days
journey by wagon from the railroad.

THIRTY REPORTED DEAD IN NEW

more persons were reported to have
been crushed or burned to death in a
collision of trains on the New York

Monday night. The accident occurred
at 1880 o'clock and four hours later
wreoking crews and hospital crews
were said to have recovered thirty
bodies.
! The dead we're in the rear coach Of
a four-coach local train, bound from
Boston to New London and which
had been stopped at the local sta
ton when it was run down by the
Gilt Edge Express, bound from Bos-
ton to New York.
This coach was telescoped, set aflre
and burned. The car ahead also took
fire and flames communicated to the
passenger station and freight house,
destroying both buildings. A hospital
train came here from New London and
Medical Examiner NJ. II. Scanlon of
Westerly took charge of the search
for the dead and care of the injured.
1t was stated that there were known
to have been thirty-seven persons in
the destroyed car and that only six of
these had been accounted for several
hours later
Among those believed to have been
burned to death we're Miss Jane Clark,
daughter of William Clark, president
of the Westerly mill of the American
Thread Company, and w. NJ. Barber,
also Of Westerly.
Great confusion followed the col
lision and 1t was long before a def
mite idea of the extent of the disaster
could be had. AS the flames of the
burning cars and buildings died out

Estimates of the dead varied wide

statement the number could not be
determined at midnight At that hour
the ruins Of the burned cars were still
so hot that they could not be thor
oughly searched. Four bodies we're
early removed and a count Of those
who received emergency treatment
showed that thirty-five who escaped
death were injured. Several Of these

ENGLISH WOMEN WORKING.

There are more women working out
side of their home in England than
ever before. and the number is in
creasing constantly. The official fig
ures show there were 100000 more
of them engaged in active employment
on March /, 1916, than on the corre-
spending day year ago, This in
cludes all classes of women, many of
whom had been considered as likely
to remain aloof from any kind of real
work. Not only in the big cities, but
in the small hamlets and the market
towns the women and girls are re-
spending to the call They take up all
kinds of labor. even going out into the
