plant, at once organized those OF his
men who were unhurt and set about
the care OF the injured. He also de-

He said that he was unable TO &C

Al l2:45 the explosion occurred. The
three buildings stood together on what
Is known as Mixing Hill, half a mile
from the executive Offices of the plant
Thick woods surrounded them, and it
is not known in which of the three the
trouble first occurred.
Earth and trees and bits of buildings
and bodies were all hurled skyvard on
vast burst of smoke and fame. To
the west of the buildings the force OF
the conclusion was only mild. To the
east il was terrific.
A brush fire was started in the woods
By fragments Of flaming timbers. Ho-
tells and residences on Lake Hopstcong
were shattered. The station at the
landing was badly damaged and the
main Office of the company was lifted
from its foundations. All Of the lower
window panes were broken in, but the

FERTILE TASMANIA.
Niclnames Applied to the One Time
Convict Settlement.


Tasmania is perhaps the most inter
esting of the states Of our common
wealth. remarked The Australian. ut
is a large triangular island lying to the
south of Melbourne and was once a
convict settlement.
THE climate is delightful and the
soil remarkably fertile. The island is
practically one large orchard IS fruit
trees do not require much tending lei
sure is notable characteristic Of the
inhabitants. and Tasmania is known
throughout the antipodes as the land
of lots of time or 'thc land of sleep Il
lot Is is also called the jam country
and its natives Familiarity termed jam
eaters This is on account Of the pres
ence of an enormous canncry on the
island, where some Of the orchard
products are converted into jams, jel-
lies and preserved fruits
But this by no means ends the list
of Tasmanian nicknames. Two Dutch
explorers. Tasman and Van Dicman,
had to do with the discovery of the
sisland, and, although the name Tas-
man is now used it is often referred to
in old SCHOOLGIRLS rs Van Dieman's
Land. We find it amusing to twist the
latter name bit ana call the Ias-
manians demons which is n shame.
rs they are the mlllest and best fel-
lows In the world. They sneak OF
themselves as Tastes and that may
he accepted as their unoni:ial dosigna.
