to let them die in PRISON." Sir Ernley
replied that it was the decision of the
government that none of the Irish
prisoners would be released as re-
suit of their refusal to take food and
that their relatives ought to advise
them to take nourishment. Accord

to this that the relatives Of prisoners

not take it.

that, if her brother was allowed to die
in prison, the citizens of Cork and Of

Mysterious Explosion Blows
Firemen Out of Drug Store

Accompanied by Battalion Chief Law
renee Mcclure the two lleutenants
led about a dozen firemen into the
store. They had scarcely got inside
when the explosion came. Except for
single shelf it blew the entire con-
tents of the store into the middle of
Eighth Avenue, carrying the front Win
dows before it.
Firemen, stools, the twisted frame
work of showcases, bottles by the hun
dreds, packing cases, chairs and count
ers were deposited in heap across the
car tracks. Astonshed to find that they
were still alive, though reeking with
the odor of drugs innumerable, which
had oozed from the smashed bottles,
the firemen picked themselves up and
returned to the attack.
There was little to be done. The ex-
plosion had turned the drug store in
side out and there was nothing left to
burn. The only piece of its furnishings
which remained was a shelf in the mix
ing room, on which stood about score
of bottles, not one of them broken or
even upset.
Prick, Slater, Fireman James Gale
CHER, of Engine Company 8, and Mi
chael Thompson, of GAG West Eigh-
teenth Street, who was passing the
store when the front blew out, were
treated for decorations by an ambu
lance surgeon. The damage to the
building was estimated at $4,000.

CHINA'S HOLY PLACES

China's shrlnes. including those in
the much discussed Shantung, are de-
scribed in the following communica-
tlon to the National Geographic society
by Frederick Mccormick:

the wrought beauty Of China, such as

church almost exclusively.
''The most beautiful specimens are
in the Yangtse valley, where pagodas
are most numerous. Every important
Chinese and Manchurian city is gar

king dozen pagodas and towers may
be counted within the city, and with a
good glass half dozen famous ones
may be seen rising from the surround

"Pagodas range In height from 20
TO more than 200 feet, and are OF va
rious shapes-round. square, hexag-
onal, octagonal, etc. They always have
an odd number Of stories, ranging usu.
ally from seven 10 nine, and some
times possessing IL and even 13.

ST. PAUL'S: A CHURCH
WITH A STORY

Since postwar building needs al
ready have robbed London of many
historic churches and threaten the ex-
iStence OF others, those that remain
Will be enhanced In historic value. One
OF those which will stand, barring
some natural calamity, is st. Paul's Gu
thedral. This famous church, like the
English constitution, represents
growth OF centuries rather than a def
mite period Of construction. Indeed,
request for funds TO complete ST.
PauI's' was made during the war. And
Eng,and's esteem for the historic edl-
flee was shown by the continuation of
restoration work throughout the war
despite the interruption TO practically
all other building.

True, Sir Christopher Wren is credited
with the structure as IL stands to-
day, but he embodied many features
of the famous "Old st. Pauls," RACED
in the great London fire OF 1866. Wren
did not wish the restoration TO be after
the "Gothlck Rudeness OF the old De.

and before our nstonished eyes the
hills seemed TO nod, and the ground
swayed like the short, choppy waves
OF troubled sea.
The clouds enyeloped africa. In
stantly through its impenetrable veil
arose the cries for help. the crash OF
falling houses and the thousand COM
mingled noises Of great calamity,
while the ship was shaken as II
grasped by giant hand; then the
cloud passed on.
But our troubles then commenced.
We were startled by terrible noise
on shore, as Of tremendous roar Of
musketry, lasting several minutes.
Again the trembling earth waved TO
and fro, and this time the sea receded
until the shipping was left stranded,
while as far TO seward as our vision
could reach, we saw the rocky bottom
of the sea, never before exposed TO hu-
man gaze, with struggling fish and
monsters ot the deep left high and

over on their beam ends, while the
Wateree rested easily on her hoOr-
like bottom; and when the returning
sea, not like wave, but rather an
enormous tide, came sweeping back,
rolling our unfortunate companion
ships over and over, leaving some bot
tom up and others masses OF wreck
age, the Wateree rose easily over the
tossing waters, unharmed.
From this moment the sea seemed
TO defy the laws Of nature. Currents
ran In contrary directions, and we
were borne here and there with speed
we could not have eQualed had we
been steaming for our lives. At rreg-
ular intervals the earthquake shocks
recurred, but none OF them so violent
or long continued as the first.
About s 80 p. m. the lookout hailed
the deck and reported breaker ap-
preaching. Looking seaward, we saw,
first, thin line OF phosphorescent
light, which loomed higher and higher
until ii seemed to touch the sky; Its
crest, crowned with the death light OF
phosphorescent glow, showing the sui
len masses Of water below.
with crash our gallant ship was
overwhelmed and buried deep beneath
seml-solid mass OF sand and wa
ter. For breathless eternity we were
submerged, groanlng In every timber,
the stanch old Wateree struggled again
10 the surface, with her gasping crew
still cllnging TO the life-lines-some
few seriously wounded, bruised and
battered; none killed; not one even
missing. A miracle 1t seemed to us
then, and as look back through the
years it seems dOuby miraculous now.
The morning sun broke on scene
of desolatiOn seldom witnessed. We
found ourselves high and dry In little
cove, or rather indentation, in the
coast line. We had been carried some
three miles up the coast and nearly
two miles inland. The wave had car
ried us over the sand dunes bordering
the ocean, aSOss valley and over the
railrond track, leaving us at the foot
OF the seacoast range Of the Andes. On
the nearly perpendicular front Of the
mountain our navigator discovered the
marks of the tidal wave, and, by meas
urements, found II to have been At feet
high, not including the comb. Had the
wave carried US 200 feet farther we
would inevitably have been dashed to
pieces against the mountainslde."
