CITY MOURNS
DEATH Of 70
TRAPPED BY
FIRE IN MINE

AMSTERDAM, Ohio, Nov. g.
Sorrow hangs like a black pail over
this little village of 1,200 today. It
is mourning the death of twenty of
its men who met death in a Y. & O..
company coal mine after gallant
battle for life.
Late yesterday afternoon mine
rescue workers pushed aside the last
barrier of debris, penetrated the
black, gas-filled mine and halted be-
fore a dirty piece of paper spiked to
post.
On it was scrawled the following:
Twenty men are in this room"
Find Is Dead.
The rescuers tore away a roughly
constructed wall of timbers. rocks
and coal and found eighteen men
huddIed on the floor. All were dead.
Hasty examination indicated they had
been dead for about twelve hours.
Friday night rescuers found the
bodies OF the other two. Company
officials believed two more were n
the mine, but a record Of the men
showed only twenty men missing.
Fire started wednesday. More than
$50 miners were under ground at the
time. All but the twenty escaped

RATIO MAKES FOR HARMONY
Peculiar Arrangement of Chinese Must.
cal instruments Said to Be Work
of Chinese Emperor.

The characteristic musical instru-
ment of the Chinese is a series of bam-
boo tubes, the longest Of which meas
ures about nine inches, and of which
the remainder diminish in length at
a regular ratio, each being just two
thirds the length of the one before.
This arrangement was devised by the
Chinese-they say, by the Emperor
Huang- Ti-on the following principle:
Between heaven and earth there is per-
feet harmony. Now, the number three
is the emblem of heaven and two of
earth. If then two pipes or tubes be
made in the proportion Of three to
two, they will harmonic in tone as
perfectly as earth and heaven. So the
base tube of the instrument was made
nine inches long and the second two
thirds that length, or six inches. Of
course, the third has to be tWo-thirds
the length of the second, or four
inches; and so on The result was
that the note of the second tube was
what we call an interval Of a fifth
above that of the first, that Of the third
fifth above the second, and SO on
through the whole range.
