A pupil in a village school who hs d
been requested <to write an essay on the
human body, handed in the following:
"The human body consists of the heed,
thorax, abdomen and legs. The head
contains the brains in case there are
any. The thorax contains the heart and
lungs, also the liver and lights, The
abdomen contains the bowels of which
there are five -a e i o u, and sometimes
w and y. The legs extend from the
abdomen to the floor, and have hinges
at the top and middle to enable a fellow
to sit when standing or tostand tvbi n

DISASTER AT HANNA

et the Mouth of the Level..
Hanna, Wyo., July 2. -Probably
the worst disaster in the history of
Wyoming occurred here Tuesday
when a terrible explosion of Are
damp in Union Pacific Mine No, 1
shut off the means of escape of 200
loon, who were working in the pot.
Tho Aro, which started immediately,
defied all efforts of the rescuers, and
there is slight hope of saving any of
the mon, Twenty-eight bodies of
those working near the mouth of the
mine have been brought out, all of
thein horribly mangled and soma
still showing slight evidences of
life.
The Union Pacific Railroad Com-
pany, which owns the mines, has a
large force working to reach the im-
prisoned men. The flames seemed to
be abating, and there was hope of
getting most of the bodies out by
yesterday. So tense is the excite-
ment that no one seems able to say
haw the disaster occurred. The sup-
position is that a cardless miner al-
lowed his lamp to come in contact
with fire damp.
235 WERE KILLED.
Heartrending Scenes at the Mouth of the
Dung's Level.
Hanna, Wyo., July 2. -According
to the hest information obtainable
yesterday morning, 235 men out of
282 who woro in the mine were kill-
ed in the explosion here Tuesday.
The majority of the victims are Fin-
landers and negrocs.
A small army of rescuers, spurred
on by the frantic appeal of wives,
mothers and children who gathered
at the mine, worked with desperate
energy all night. 'J'hey toll of piti-
ful scones in the mine. Some of the
survivors were driven insane and
fought furiously against rescue. Daz-
ed, listless survivors were found sit-
ting on cars or lying on the floor„
careless of whether they lived or
died.
Near the seventeenth level twenty
bodies were found strewn over a pilo
of debris which the men had striven
to surmount before they were over -

'An expert who went almost to the

not possibly be cleared for a month.
It is feared that men in the lower

Ottawa, July 2. -The Cabinet were
in session all day yesterday consid-
ering, the form of aid to be granted
to the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway,
but adjourned without reaching a do-
vision, Tho anticipated announce-
ment will, therefore, not be made
to -day. it will not, however, • be
much longer deferred. Members of
Parliantont who enjoy the confidence
of the Government say that the
building of .-(i, Government line to
Winnipeg has been determined upon,
and that the Grand Trunk Company
have concurred in the proposition,
provided they get a lease for a num-
ber of years, and financial assistance
for the western portion of the lino.
The aid spoken of is a guarantee of
bonds from 1dmontou to the coast,
varying in amount according to the
nefliculties of construction but aver-
aging about 83(1,000 a mile. This,
it is stated, is the proposition which
was discussed in Council yesterday
The report is, however, that a snag
was struck when it came to fixing
the conditions upon which running
rights should be granted to other
companies. This, it is said, prevent-
ed the settlement of the matter as
anticipated, and the expectation is
that Mr. Hays will be in Ottawa
again today to discuss the latest
tutu which affairs have taken.
The Governor-General has signed
the order in Council appointing Nr.

method. It seems a pity that in

No Information as to Grand Trunk Pacl.
Says Mr. Fielding -;lir. male's Rail-
way Commission Bi1l Discussed.
Ottawa, July -In the House of
Commons. on 'Tuesday, Air. IKemp
asked what foundation there was for
the report that the Government had
derided to guarantee the bonds of the
(.rand Trunk Pacific with a clause in
the agreement giving the Govern-
ment power to purchase the road at
the end of 30 years.
131r. Fielding, who was leading the
House, replied, "I am afraid I shall
have to ask my Iron. friend to be
content with the assurance that
when any such arrangements aro
made they will be communicated to
Parliament in a proper manner and
at tho earliest possible moment."
The Senate bill incorporating the
Citizens' Bank of Canada was read a
first time.
On clause 275 of Afr. Illair's rail-
way Commission bill. the Minister
of Railways said that he would
draft an • amendment to meet the
wishes of the commercial travelers.
During discussion on the tariff
clauses, Mr. Blair said that there
was, first, a general tariff which the
railway company submitted to the
hoard of Railway Commissioners ;
and if sanctioned by the hoard it be-
came effective and was published.
There was the maximum tariff. Then
there was a special tariff which a
company might hake as regards any
special class of goods, which had to

There was a third class, to be called

behalf of my daughter, Pauhna, who has
contracted the' dread a hite plague' while
lovingly performing leer duty in caring
for her dear mother, who eight month~ -s
ago succumbed to the dread disease.
Mine is a sad case. For three long, years
my wife suffered from consumption. of
which she finally died, leaving masse nee
to raise a family of children, one only
five years old. 13!y daughter, Pauline,
who nursed her during her ling illness,
was my only hope, as she took charge of
my home, and now the baud of disease
has fallen upon her. Her physicians
have pronounced it a easeof consumption,
and advise an immediate removal to the
Sanatorium. T am only a poor man,
dependent on my daily wage, and the
long and heavy exp,•nsee, of my nife's
illness have so depleted my re+nurses that
I cannot possibly pay the expenses in an
expensive sanat,,rium, though 1 would
be glad to do so were it in my power.
Can you not receive lir into your Free

from the wit -ting sufferings of PO terrible
a disease?' The doctors consider her ease
a curable one at this stage, but delays
would be dangerous. Hoping and trust-

receive the proper application blank
