A coal mine in Scotland which
caught fire over fifty years ago
and has been burning ever since
has at last burnt itself out. The
mine is on the Dalquharran es
tate, Dailly. It was set on fire
by the engine which worked the
fans, and although many costly
attempts have been made to ex
tinguish it they have been un
successful. The fltmes have
from time to time burst forth
from the ground in volcano
fashion. The fire was confined
to the one area by natural
■‘dykes” of rock, which thus
saved adjacent mines.

A soldier correspondent with

• i an old barn, his feet put in
stocks and the carcass of tlje
dead animal placed beside him.
He can eat from the bones of
this dead horse or starve during
his period of six days confine
ment. I would not have bel eved
such a tale as this if I had not
seen the thing with my own
eyes.”
