The scene of the disaster was in an in-bv a long way from the shaft en- trance. Th" first, in tarnation of the disaster was sent to the surface by an engine man at the bottom of the shaft.

WHIT-MONDAY OUTINGS. I ■Or LOCAL SUNDAY SCHOOL SCHOLARS GO INTO THE COilNTBV. Whit-Monday has for generations past been dedicated to the children, and the various Sunday schools of the district for many years made it a practice to hold their aJiliual outings on this day. Latterly, the custom has been more or less departed from, mainly owing to the uncertainty of the weather. This^year, the holding of the Bath and West Show has further inter- 1 1 fered with the arrangements, the London and North-Western Railway Company having declined to carry the scholars to Killay—a locality much in favour with the children. In conse- quence. several schools ha.ve postponed their treats. However, many schools have main- tained the CUSTom, and this morning the bright sunshine gladdened the hearts of thousands of children. The following outings had been arranged to take place. At Ynysforgan Mount Zrion and Salem (Landore) Glais: Forward Movement, St. Thomas.

THE FEAST OF WEEKS. SOLEMN JEWISH FESTIVAL NOW IN PROGRESS. "THE CIVING OF THE LAW." Yesterday and to-day Jewry in Swac- sea and elsewhere celebrate the second of the three great solemn iestivaks— Sh'evnoth (weeks). The name arises from the fact that in the Biblical law Jew s are enJoi ned to count 7 weeks, or 49 days, irom tho second day of Passover, and to observe the Festival of Weeks on the 50th, when the first fruit of the wheat harvest WU& oilered III the Temple. Uonce, to E? Us",speaking Jews, the Festival is atio klCWll a? Pent?'?st, which is t; reek for fiftieth (i.e. day). lucid-eta tally it is interesting to ob- serve the analogy and parallelism with the Pentecost or the Cnrist-ian Church —more popularly known as \v hit- Sunday—which, reckoning inclusively, is 5U days from Easter. Mr. K. M. Levy, B.A., informs the "Leader" that the Feast of Weeks also commemorates art historical event., not only of Jewish hi-st<wy, hut also ot world's history—the law-giving on Moiint Sinai. We Jews therefore also call it the S#a«on of t.he giving of our Law," said Air. Levy. A Dual Significance. I The significance of Pentecost is, then, a dual one. Firstly, as! reminiscent of the golden period cl Jewish history when, independent and Ires, the Jews were a.bje to enter upon a pilgrimage to Jerusalem to olfer the first fruits of the wheat harvest as a token or their gratitude to their National Deity; secondly, as the anni- versarv of their receiving the law, which took place seven weeks atter their liberation from Egyptian bondage, "In the absence in these days ot a Jewish Temple, the custom widely pre- vails among Jews all over the world t-o decorate tneir synagogues and homes with flowers and plants, in order that the sight of these beautiful objects may awaken and strengthen feelings of gratitude towards tile Almighty tor H] Kindness. '1 he legal .significance of the Festival to which reference has been made is symbolised amongst the more strictly observant by an a-d-night vigil, devoted to the recital and study ol selections from various portions ot the Law. At Swansea. f "The Swansea Synagogue- regularly j presents, therefore, at this season a charming spectncle, and never more than this year, when the effect of the customary floral decorations is enhanced by the completion of the internal renovations which, have been carried out during the last iew weeks. Services are being held every morning and even- ing, and are feelingly rendered by the Rev. M. Lubner, who is now the sole occupant of the reading desk. The festival terminates to-day at sunset. Pfiptecos-t is second to no other Jewish festival in impressiveness not only because of Its picturesque and odoro?)? associations with the beauties of nature, but also in its significance for' the moral and spiritual welfare of organised society. For the giving of the Law, though primarily a Jewish national event, was fraught with wonderful consequences for the whole of mankind. It is the Magna Charta par excel- lence, by the side of which all other declarations of human privileges pale into insignificance. Moreover, it's observance not only justifies the Jewish separate existence, but is an eloquent reminder of the high destiny to which it is consecrated."

A RISKY JOURNEY. 1 Many visitors to Mumbles on S-unday orening were horrifWl to see a man running down the clifF near the Coast- guard Station.

The members of a Swansea family were anxiously awaiting a reply to a cablegram sent, to the Canadian-Pacific Company's representative at Quebec when a Ive^oer representative called i this morning. They are the family of Mr. and Mrs. William Lawson, the former being well known in Swansea, having for some time traded as a butcher in Ox l ord-street. j This gentleman's son, fr.Tohn Vaughan Lawson. went to Canada for the benefit of his health in April.

Mr. Lawson has read and Te-read the list of passengers issued, bill can only find the name of J. Lenon," who was one of those saved. Mr. Lawson junior was staying at Quebec, and the vessel left that city on the 28th, so that his parents are perplexed. 1/ast night, M.r. Lawson senior cabled to the company's offices in Quebec, ask- ing them if there was a John Vaughan Lawson on the boat.

A RECORD DAY. HUGE NUMBER OF HOLIDAY VISITORS AT I SWANSEA. WTill to-day be a record Whit-Monday for Swansea? At the time of writing there is every indication that it wiii be for, added to brilliant weacner, there is the additional attraction of the liath and West Show. The head offices of the various railway companies ought to be pleased when the returns of Swansea for to-day are ¡ forwarded. "The incoming trains from the Mid- lands, Hereford, the West of England, I Newport and Cardiff, South and West I Wales," said a G.W.E. official this morning, "are being exceptionally well patronised. In several cases advertised trains are being duplicated, while the I numbers on the outgoing excursions are quite up to the average, notwithstand- ing the inducements to stay at home." I These trains have gone to the uEual, Whitsuntide haunts in London, Bir-! mingham, Wolverhampton, the West of i England, Cardiff, Newport, etc. "We are having a record day, people are coming in thousands," was the re-I port from the L. & N.W. Railway onices. Outgoing excursions, too, have been successes, and that to Blackpool last night was full. The Midland officials felt it was rather early to make comparisons, but said people were coming in numbers that compared very favourably with those when the show last visited the town, if not a little exceeding those on occasion.

FIREWORKS AT PARK WERN. Ii Messrs. James Pain and Sons took advantage of the presence of the Bath I and West Show in Swansea to arrange a fete and display of fireworks in Park Wrern on Saturday afternoon and even- ing. There was a large crowd, but the length and variety of the programme merited a still bigger attendance. The pretty grounds were effectively illuminated, there was much pleasing music by Hanney's Military Band (Mr. Sam Hanney conductor), and under the direction of Mr. Josiah Thomas, L.R.A.M., there was a capital concert to which Miss May Roberts (soprano), Mr. D.
