"r- -s-3 si i t g-lv FLOUR AS AN EXPLOSIVE. What Misht Happen if Millers "Were to Ilecomo Anarchist".. A Minneapolis man talked long with a manufacturer of mill machinery whom he met at the Gilsey house the other evening. The latest improvements in bran dusters, smut machines, cockle separators and corn meal holts were fully discussed. Then came the strikes, and both admitted that in most cases the strikers were right the exceptions, of course, being those of strik ing millers. "If the millers were Anarchists," said the Minnesota man, '-they could blow up every Hour mill in Minneapolis without using dynamite. God only knows the power millers have in their hands if they were devils enough to use it. A flour mill i:i operation is almost as dangerous as a powder magazine, and has to be watched as closely. Every coal miner is afraid of lire damp, and every miller "knows his i '11 is likely to be blown up with a terrible explosion at any moment. To most people this would sound like an exaggeration, but I tell you it is a solemn fact. What blew up your mills in Bar clay street u few years ago? What leveled a whole block of stone nills in Minne apolis not long since, so that it looked as though si cyclone had struck the city? Nothing in "the world but flour one of the deadliest and most powerful explo sives known. "If you stand in a flour mill, near the stones, and look across the room toward the sunlight, you will see that the air is loaded with lino grain dust. If you had microscopic eyes, you would see yourself surrounded with small atoms of grain of all kindj. Those atoms form an ex plosive substance more powerful than any known to Nihilists, and their presence, though inevitable, is what makes a flour mill as dangerous as a powder pit. Sup pose you take a dry ear of corn and set it on lire. If will burn slowly. Shell the car and fre the kernels and it burns much more rapidly. Grind the corn and it will burn like prpcr. Reduce it to powder to diLa- ard, if ignited, it goes oil like a Hash. Tnat is the state in which flour is dangerous, when it-is ftner than flour. If a mill Incomes overcharged with this duct, and it is ignited, awav goes the mill. "Sfvc ral years ago the large Washing ton fnllU in Minneapolis caught fire. They w. re going at the lime. Those who knew the danger gave the alarm and got out as lively as they could." "Did the mills blow up!'" "I should .say they did. The walls were made of stone, six feet thick, and when the explosion came they tumbled out like Mraw board. The sheet-iron roof w;is blown so high from one of the "Washington mills that the wind carriee it two indes. Men watching the tire at a distance were blown through windows, knocked lovn, hurled through the air and se oral were killed. Sometimes the lighting of a pipe in a grain house will de molish the building. In a Scotland mill a man onco lit a cigar. In a second The room seamed filled with fire, and there was a terrible roar. When the smoke cleared away the four walls of the mill lay flat on the ground and the roof of the mill lay sever..! hundred feet away. With the exception .f a bad scare and a singeing not a person was hurt. The dust burned creating a great heat. New York Star. i i EAGLE y y rw 0 ' 4 P i i' J&.3?

COLWICH, 14 " WIOHITA WICHITA An IntrrcMinji INev:-iy in -cipuce. One of the most interesting recent dis coveries in science is the fact that a raj of light produces sound. A sunbeam is thrown through a lens on a glass vessel that contains lampblack, colored silk or nor led, or other substances. A disk, having sins or openings cut in it, is made to reolvc swiftly in this beam of light, so as to ciu it up, thus making alternate flashes of light and shadow. On putting the car to the glass vessel strange sounds are heard so long as the flashing beam is falling on the vessel. Ilcccntly a more wonderful discovery has lKen made. The beam of sunlight is made to pass through :i prism so as to produce what is called the solar spectrum or rainbow. The disk is turned and the colored light of the rain bow is made to break through it. Now plat? the car to the vessel contain ing the HI:, Atool or other material. h the colored lights of the spectrum fall upon it j')unds will be given by different parts of t lie r-peei rum, and there will be silence in other parts. For instance, if the vei . 1 contains red worsted and the green light flashes upon it, loud sounds will be given. Only feeble sounds will be heard when the red and blue parts of the rjunbow fall upon the vessel, and other colors nnke no sounds at. all. Green silk gives sound best in red light. Every kind of l.riU rial gives more or less sound in different colors and utters no sound in others. Ch.eago Xev. .-.

Our Slrppins nutl .cn5oon Cms. Our railway sytem is confessedly m ad vance of any other in the world. Our mile-' :c is as'large as that of all Europe comLIned. Some of the Knclish and con tinental renls are more solidly built; but for comfort and luxury there is nothing comparable to our sleeping and saloon ears. The private cars in which our rail w: v magnates travel are in point of luxury and cothness far ahead of anj thing of tho kind in the Old World. All our leading railway men habitually use cars superior inelegance to those occupied by monarchs in other parts of the world. William K. Vau'Icrbilt, Robert Garrett, Milton II. Smith. Hugh J. Jewctt, and some twenty others of our railway peoplj use cars coat ing from $20,000 to ;t0.000 each. There are about lf-0 vcrv costly cars in use, rep resenting $-1,000,000 in cash. Of these some sixtv cost $110,000 each. A Mr. Talbot, editor of a railway news paper, was presented with a car recently, made l.v Herr Krupp. the famous gun founder." It is of hard wood. Kastlake fini h. v.ith a great deal of esthetic drapery. The observation room in the end of" the car is finished in oak. with Trench ll.iie glass windows extending from the coiing to the lloor, velvet cur tains, Wilton" carpels and embossed leather furniture, including divans. The bedroom is in maple and amaranth, and opening from it is the parlor, the most elegant apartment of the car. It is fmisheil in solid mahogany, with rich in laid panels and carvings of rare and costly woods from the Holy Land. The butler's room, pantry and kitchen are models. It would cost at least $GO,000 to to duplicate this car. Famous actresses have had private cars very luxurious in their apartments. Mine. Patti had such a one, while Mrs. Langtry actually lived in her car when filling her engagements outside of New York.
