HORRIBLE FIRE IN CLEVELAND. Probably 2O0 School Children are Cremated in the Ruins. -J. Cleveland, Ohio, Mcrch 4.-At 3 o'clock this afternoon 140 hodtes had yan recovered from the ruins of the burned Collinswood school. Smoke ls still rising in ' dense clouds from the ruin.", and the work of removing tho dead progresses very elowly. / lt is certain that many more bodk ; are in the basement, carried there by the collapse of the third floor. It le alBO reported that a number of adults, who made heroic efforts to rescue the chlldr?n, were caught in the collapse of this floor and carried to their death. The ruins are greatly heated and ntll the walls cool the searchers can not penetrate to all parts of the base ment. 1 In the mad panic that followed the alarm the little ones made a frantic rush for the doors, and in a few sec onds their tiny bodies, twisted and contorted, had Jammed the exits and prevented the escape of those be hind, who tore and fought to get out. When the news spread over the little village frantic mothers and fa thers and other relatives rushed to the scene and fought madly to get into the burning structure, where al most, certain death awaited them and had already doomed so many chil dren. The older people were only held back by the determined efforts of the special guard of police. When the blaze broke out a door connecting with the upper part of the building was opened by one of the attendants. This was a fatal mistake, for clouds of smoke, driven by a back draught, poured Into the rooms The children rushed for the doors. Teachers frantically tried to prevent a panic and organized p.. Are drill. They could no more stem the terri fied little ones than hold back the vicean. ? The fire department was soon on ".'the scene. There was not sufficient ladders to make' the work of rescue effective. An aerial ladder was at tempted to save Borne of the children and several firemen nearly lost their lives by the failure of this plan. When the firemen finally reached the third floor, some of the children still within the rooms were living. The doorways, however, were choked with the tiny bodies. This made the work of rescue diffi cult. Where the Children Died. Nearly all the children were killed in the mass at the first floor door which finally was opened by men from the Lake Shore railroad shopu, who hurried to the scene. A wall of flame had formed across lt, how ever, and most of the children al ready were dead by tho time the doors were swung. . Miss Catherine Weller, one of the nine teachers In the school, lost her Ufe I" a vain effort to marshal the pupils of her class and lead them to safety. She died In the crush at the rear door. Her room was on the second floor and "when the fire alarm sounded sho marched her pupils into the hall, believing lt was only a fire drill. There tho truth dawned upon both the teacher and pupils and con trol was lost. The children plunged Into tho struggling mass ahead of them. Misa Weller attempted to stem the nish, but went down under lt and her body was found an hour later piled high with those of her pupils Miss Fiske, another teacher, waa taken out alive, but she cannot live. Burning through tho cross sup port of thc first floor, the flames passed upward until all three floors crashed Into a smouldering pile into the basement.

The Federal nine-hour law rela tive to telegraph Operators and des patches In the railroad service went Into effect yesterday, and it was nec essary to add about sixty operators on the Greenville division in order to meet the requirements of thc statute. The sixty new operators left the city yesterday for the differ ent stations at which they are to work. The new law ls a strict one, and it has been necessary for the roads all over tho country to add largo numbers of men to their forces. On some of tho Northern roads as many as 700 additional operators ha\^ boen placed on duty. On every di vision new men have been added. Heretofore ono man has worked an much as twelve to fourteen hours a day and thus saved the necessity of navlng two for the.position which ho Ulled.

Wonderful A'mount of Power Con tained In Each Flash. At a recent lecture Dr. Charles P. Steinmetz, the genius of the General Electric Company, told of the power which goes tu waste In every thun derstorm. It iii not possible to use any In struments for the purpose of figuring the forces of lightning, yet there are many other ways of calculating fa miliar to every mathematician. Dr. Steinmetz has figured that the amount of light given by a single lightning "asl, is enough to illumi nate an area two miles square. The bolt itself would be visible several mlh's further off, but the remotest part of the region mentioned would have as much light aa would be given by a candle-quite enough to read by. To produce such a light lt would be necessary to expend 13,000 horse-power for a second. These fig ures appear very large, but the time is short. The flash might be for only 1-1000 part of a second, but the im pression on the eye would continue for a tenth of a second anyway. Fig ured down to an exact hour this amount of force would mean only about four horse-power. Accordng to the professor, light ning flushes usually occur within thunder clouds and only rarely from one ordinary cloud to another or from a cloud to the ground. They seem to follow the rapid condensa tion of vapor in the air and to be caused by . that phenomenon. The kind of electricity formed in a thun derstorm is not like that which is produced by electrical machinery. Lightning is static electricity, the same kind as is produced by rubbing amber with silk. When a body like a brass globe ls charged with static electricity the charge stays on the surface ol' lt. The quantity of a full charge Is limited by the area over which it can spread..

IS GOOD FOR CHARLESTON. Government Decides to Make Naval Station there a Torpedo Depot. Washington, March 4.--Impress ed with the importance of utilizing to their utmost the auxiliary vessels left on the Atlantic coast for its pro tection, the navy department has practically decided to mke the naval station at Charleston, S. C., a tor pedo depot. It has been demonstrated that the creation of a torpedo depot and other auxiliaries is necessary for their suc cessful and economical operation. In an examination of the various yards and stations availablo for this pur pose to the exclusion of other work, the navy department has found the Charleston yard best suited for Its needs. One of its advantages is that climatic cotxdltlons permit the work of repairs at all seasons of tho year, which ls not the case at some of the yards where work upon the smaller vessels has been attempted. The station at Charleston will lend itself readily to the slight changes necessary to make it a torpedo depot, and lt is expected an appropriation for this work will be granted by the present Congress. The department believes that by concentrating this class of work at a permanent loca tion, lt will be able to retain a force of men Bkllled In -t ue deli jato me chanical work whlci torpedo .boats and submarines require.
