A TERRIBLE EXPLOSION..
A frightful explosion occurred at the gasworks at the Grassbook on Toosday; a new moter of the capacity of 200,000 cable meters was bolag charged for the first time, and when half filled suddenly exploded, shooting forth tremendous fames and causing widespread havoc all round, The old tetor containing some 50,000 embin meters followed soon afterwards, increasing the disaster. The cause has not yet been ascertained nor the extent of the damagedono; unfortunately there has been great loss of life, Fourteen bodies, charred and almost unrecognizable, have so far hocu recovered and it is feared that more still be lying hidden under the debris. Between forty and fifty injured persons, most of them in a most pitiable condition, have been removed to the hospitals, some of whom it is thought will acarcely survive.

Dr. Vaillant's maps are based upon the establishment of 25 astronomiesitioned exercises, points, which enable the geography of the rogione ho traversed to be determined with an approximation of 400 mètres as regards intitude and about ons kilomètre as regards longitude. The journey was accomplished on horseback from Andjian, in Russian Turkestan, to Chong- cha, on the Paking-Hankow line. The most diflealt part of the route was the crossing of the Taldyk Cavan range, when a height of 13,120ft. was attained. The temperature in sammer rose to 100 deg., and in winter it sank to 31dog, below zero Fahrenheit. The work of the expedition, however, was at no time in terrupted.
