Pennsylvania. Mav 10 This afternoon, by a gas explosion in a stove in the house of Justice Cline at Bix ford, ten miles southwest of Bradford, the building was set on fire. All the adjoin ing buildings being light frumo structures, the fire spread rapidly, snd before its fury was spent, w buildings were hud in ashes The list embraces the principal hotels, stores and business places, including the Kohdall and F.ldrek Railroad depot. The fire also burned the pump station, of the United Pipe lines. A tank containing 7000 barrels or oil was burned, and an Iron tank containing 25,000 barrels of oil is now in Humes. A short distance further down the valley is locuted another 25,000 barrel tank, owned by the Union Pipe linos,and two others of similar dimensions belonging to the Tide-wuter pipe line. These three tanks are all full, and It is thought cannot escape destruction. A large forco of men are building dams to chock the burning oil from running down the valley, should the tank now on lire boil over. In and around Rixford forty dor ricks wero also consumed. It is liupossl sible to estimate the loss. At present several wood tires are reported, but no serious damuges have yet resulted. Latku One 00,000 barrel Iron tank of McLood aud Mudisou and the 25,000 bar rel iron tanks of the United Pipe lined at Rexford are still burning furiously. One tank boiled over and Bet a second 25,000 barrel iron tank of tno United lines in flames. There are two other tanks of similar dimensions belonging to the Tide Water Pipe Line Company a short dis tance further dow n the valley which can uoi escape destruction. 1 he heat Is sn intense that workmen are prevented from digging trenches or building dams. No other property in the immediate vicinity is burning except tho tanks, and unless iiigh winds prevail, the Humes can be confined to the oil tanks. The loss on oil is homo by a goneral average assessment on all patrons of the pipe lines. No fur ther property was destroyed in Rexford besides the 80 buildings reported.

The idea is suggested that the senses may be the guiding agents, that the fish goes nosing :ilong the coast, or tasting the stream. until it recognizes its own. The convex ity of the cornea must afford the fishes i very limited range of vision. . Tliestippos- ed dullness of the sense of smell and cl taste in fishes might alone dispose of the suggestion that these are employed.

The colony of salmon made their yearly migration from the deep waters toward the mouth of the river, and many of them raced through the surf, und landed hub and dry on the sand that wailed them out from their native river.

The legitimate state for china collect ing should spring either from love for representative china, or for china that satisfies the sense of beauty in the mind of the collector. What makes represen tative china so deeply interesting is the the sense of personal work in the making of each piece. The potters of the past were gonerally men of small origin, wno led hard lives, and created their work piece bv piece, in the face of adverse cir cumstances and under great difficulties of construction.

All questions of collections, however, are in a great measure a matter of fashion, and the last few years have seen a marked decline in china collecting. Nothing has taken itt exact place. Much of the late mania for for china was part of a sort of spurious renaissance for everything belonging to tho eighteenth century: all tasto was at low ebb, and the power to improve that taste partook of the want of vitality which was beginnim? to show itself. Disgust was felt at the dullness and ngu ness of our surroundings, but the po of producing orignal aud lovely forms in art seemed gone from us. Naturally, people fell back on the past. A bond of sympathy in many ways, linked us on to Hfnch of th thought of the present day is the natural outcome of seed sown at the end oi w last century.
