TWO Hundred Jives Lost In a IIIUw—A
Terrible explosion.
A despatch from VioLoria, B.C., says:
—Particulars of an appalling catas-
trophe that occurred at the Toyokuni
coal mine at Kyushu, Japan, are at
hand. It appears that on the morning
in questiou, a tremendous sound, ao-
oottspanied by violent quaking of the
earth, was experienoed by the people
living adjacent to the mine. instantly
they rushed out of doors and saw a
column of dense black smoke issuing
from the pit, throwing pieces oC wood
and other articles high up into the
air.
About 200 men and women were at
worts in the pit at the time. A party
of resouers essayed to go into the pit
from the side entrance, but was driven
back by the suffocating gas that filled
it. Steeps were at once taket'to ven-
tilate the gas -laden pit, It was, how-
ever, soma time before the people
could go into the shaft.
Up to the 'tight of the 1601 only five

oet into big charnel houses, where the
ghastly operation of washing the black
bodies, pl.u,ing them in coffins and cat-
aloguing thein is being tarried on by
a large number of miners, tvho have
come from the other mines. In some
rases whole families were annihilated,
excepting infants or aged people.

travelling in America, is the principal
owner of the mine, and the loss result-

lawyers, they omit every fate of tris

another trick of Ile e.attifogger, 'they
attempt to make it ct personal disre-
gard of the king.
14. The king , , was sore dis-
pleased with himself, The Revised
Version omits •'with himself," but it is
a colloquialism which helps us to un-
derstated lite king's position. He had
suffered himself to be entrapped. He
was afraid that the primes who had
conspired against Daniel. might con-
spire against him. Iia was afraid of
popular opinion concerning himself:
Be his blunder he had shown himself
mal to be divine. Ou the other hand
lee had a genuine regard for Daniel.
Set its heart on Daniel to deliver
him. That a man brought up as an
oriental, king should ue petulant and
whimsical is natural indeed, that such
men should ever be strong and bravo
seems strange, and yet most of them
Were capable of arousing themselves

Darius did his best dor Daniel, now.
He Labored Lill the going down of the
sun to deliver him. We can only
suppose that he Labored or wrestled
with the law, trying bo find some
authority for change of sentence. And
meanwhile he delayed the execution
of the senlenae.
15. Assembled, "Tumultuously," as
before. Ii¢ow, 0 king, etc. The post-
ponement of the punishment of Dan -
lel aroused the eoustait'ators. They
must threaten the king, else he would
not carry out their plans and his own
word, and the threat of this -verse has
a revolutionary sound,
16. Cast him into the den of lions. It
is probable that this den was a sort
of cage in the royal gardens, for Ivo
know that lions were thus preserved
in ancient Babylonia, and that it was
a cage seems likely from the king's
later conversation with Daniel. Thy
God whom thou servest continually, he
will deliver thee. The very foot which
tch
leads to his oonviotion and punisluneut
in the ooarts of men is the fact that
in the sight of God will justify him.
Devout heathen of all sorts and a
great many devout Jews believed in
the existence of many gobs. We are
not to suppose from this verse that
Darius believed that Jehovah was the
real and omnipresent God, but rather
that he was a god, and as faithful to
his worshipers as all gods were sup-
posed to be,
17, A stone was brought, and laid
upon the month of the den; and the
king sealed it with his own signet,
of his lords. The stone was very prob-
ably placed at the mouth of the den
simply to receive the signet. A. oord
may have been laid neross it and fast-
ened on each end by a lump of clay
on which was stamped the royal seal.,
So our Lord's tomb was sealed, That
the signet of his lords was added, as
well as that, of the. Ming, shows the
great importance of the Perisan nobil-
ity in national affairs, That the pur-
pose might not be changed, "That
nothtng might be changed concerning
Daniel." The king himself must be
bound es well as the humblest sub,jeat
of lee realm,
