The statistics show 560 humans dead, and scores in­ jured. There have been greater hor­ rors by flood, by volcanoes, by the up­ rising of nature's forces, but if there was ever a more appalling chapter traced to man's band history fails to tell It save In the records of battle alone. Of Are horrors, as they are commonly known, certainly nothing like it ever occurred in this country or any other. There an ornate million-dollar thea­ ter, assured, of course, as thoroughly fireproof. Within were 2,300 women and children, and a few men--a typi­ cal, merry, holiday matinee audience. One thousand were in the galleries. There were many entrances offering tno usual number of exits, all, of course, sufficient to depopulate the building in case of fire. We have all seen that often enough on the pro­ grams. There were live men In uni­ forms in the aisles, provided by the city government. It wafe a pretty, hap­ py scene.

On the main floor the panic was quite as fierce as elsewhere, but escape was easier. It was in the balconies that the battle for life was hardest, and there,0 indeed, was scarcely a chance for escape. The galleries were, within no time at all, heaped with a helpless, struggling, insane mass of people. As the flaming circle crept higher and higher, choking the audience with black masses of smoke, many were literally too paralyzed for movement, so that at the end and after it was all over, there was the strange, grewsome picture of a sco^ or more dead lean­ ing silently over the rails as'If still glancing at the play. But down at the doorway it was a wave backward of human beings light­ ing for the blessing of life.

A fuse or two blew from the calcium light that made the pale moon. The spark struck the ginger-bread scenery; the scenery blazed to the stage. An Urn of Fire in Five Minutes. And then! Well, then in five min­ utes this costly playhouse became a red urn of fire and a great, heart­ breaking cry, such a cry as splits the stone of a Caesar's heart, arose in that building. It was the cry of the man or woman, clinging to a storm-swept raft, who sees the others go down before him. The scene was something that no human pen can tell. A circle of flame swept from the stage around the bal­ cony and galleries, driven into a whirl­ wind by Bix great automatic ventil­ ators and the open doors. It moved faster than the calcium of the pale moonlight and as fierce as a blazing meteor. There was a wild, piad, raging, trampling rush for life. It id not easy to fancy what one would do in such a scene, but all seeiqingly acted t*>» gether. Men and women fought like unleashed hounds for the first exit; little children were crushed in the arms of their mothers; clothes and HIS IDEA WAS GOOD. awfulness! of sudden death in agony in all the history of modern times. From the balcony and galleries, where there was no more safety from the flame heat ascending than on the floor below, people hurled themselves downward in their terror.

Prying Drills Baffled, but Hose Put Newcomers to Rout. A well-known railway company was engaged in boring a tunnei beneath and almost at right angles to the ex­ isting tunnel of one oi its rivals. One day the contractor received notice to stop the work until certain, legal pro­ ceedings were complied with. Outwanita, observing the legal for- mallties/ahd at the same time dread­ ing delay, the contractor as quiet as a mole went on with his "heading." But notwithstanding all his caution the engineer of the rival company sus­ pected these clandestine operations and sank a bore bole on the center line of the new tunnel, thoroughly be­ lieving that his instrument would, at t£e proper level, drop into a tunnel not to be so taken by surprise.

But the contracting tunneler was sheet of steel was affixed to the roof of the illicitly built tunnel, so that tne tool of the rival engineer, when it eame, would merely grind away hara- lessly against its tough surface.
