THK tRMOR PIATE M 4TTF.H.
The T'nited States government now has
on hand thre<- battleships which it will be
unable to complete on account of the re
fusal of the *rmor plate aianufacturers to
furnish plate at the price fixed by the
congressional appropriation. The Alabama,
the Illinois and Wisconsin will remain in
a condition of arrwsted development, and
the contractors having these vessels in
charge will receive from the government
heavy additional pay for the de-lav caused
thotn by the failure of the government to
deliver the «nnor plate as needed.
Tbe situation is briefly this: The Carne
! gie and the Bethlehem companies each put
: in plants for the purpose of supplying the
j government wl'h Iron armor plate; the
I plants costing in the neighborhood of
J?.iMmiOo each. There was an implied con
tra, t with the government when theso
! planta were put In that these companies
should have the sole right to supply needed
armor pl ite at a fair price. The average
ost to the government of such plate a3
has already been furnished w.»s. V'.,".S per
, ton.
• .'or.gr* «s in July of last year in a provis-o
to the naval appropriation bill r juir-d
the secretary of the navy to examine into
toe a-"t ..il cost of making armor plate and
r. port the same to with the fur
ther proviso that no further contracts for
armor plats should be entered Into until
after that report was made.
A fjli examination and investigation was
made .»nd an exhaustive report of jS ■< re»
t u v llert>ert to oongrvs* followed- This re
| port a-s. rta that the total cost of the labor
i .- .I material In a ton of double-forged
! :o< kel stool harveyixed armor. Including an
| allowance of I<> pr cent, for losses in man
ufacture, was li.'T.TS. He recommend'd that
the armor m.ik ra ou«t:it to rtceivt Jioo p. r
ton. on account of the heavy cost of the
i or.lnal plants v.hi h were useful for no
i other purp *e, and b»>. aus * that amount, in
: hi* judgment, was no more than sufficient
| t afford them a fair profit. Congress ae

A
Ivsndon has reoeived a shock of an un
usual character. As the metropolis of
the world, it affords a greater variety
of crimes, follies and accidents than an?
other place in the w >rid. and seems to be
aMe to add to those of most other cen
ters of population. The paper* there are
now discussing a singular accident, in
which woman's vanity plays a consider
iable part.
A daughter-in-law of Sir Bernard Satr
s ualson was at a fashionable hair dress
• er's having her hair washed with a prep
| aratk>n of which petroleum forms an in
; grcHllents; Suddenly there was a blaze,
and the woman's head was enveloped in
flames. The scene which followed is toid
by an eye-witness:
"I was in Fmlle's shop on the morning
of June s*. between 12 and 12:3). I dl 1
not see Mrs. ftamuelson go In. but I heard
the explosion and saw the flame in the
saloon. I thought the plaee wis on fare
and ran into the street. When I hearl
that a lady was on fire I went back Into
the saloon. There was a good deal cf
smoke hansrinir about, but the fire was
out. Mrs. Samuels on was standing wit it
the remains of one of the linen gowns oa
her head. I took the gown off, and she
screamed out. I spoke to her. and sht»
said: 'My God! I am in awful agony;
somebody put me out of my misery.
There are flames all around me.' I said,
'No; the flames are all out.' "
Mr. Alfred Spencer, chief of the control
department of the I.ondon county coun
cil, gave evidence as to the petroleum
hairwash used. He said that the saloo »
in which the accident occurred was light
ed from a window over the division cf
the compartment where Mrs. Samueisoi
was being attended to. He was inform
ed that almost half a pint of petroleum
wash was used In the operation of wash
vapor, the chief characteristic of which
was its extreme inflammability. The va
por might easily be ignited by electric
sparks or a light or fire. An electric
Kpark would invariably cause ignition
and the preparation would become vio
lently explosive If mixed with atmos
pheric air. The higher tho temperature
the more rapidly the vapor would ko off
Another characteristic of the vapor was
that it was heavier than air. and that
it would flow easily and spread. It was
an Invisible vapor.
it might happen, said the witness, that
the vapor, before going off during the
washing of Mrs. Bamuelson's hair,
spread Into the shop or along the bottom
of the saloon Into the work room. More
particularly would it spread if the room
were undisturbed. The vapor would flow
a very considerable distance. The heat
of the day would have nothing whatever
to do with the explosion. An instance
had been recorded where petroleum va
por flowed and flashed back a distance
of torty fi-et. The Regent's park explo
sion of 1574 when the vapor «ran the
whole length of r barge, was caused
through this. The petroleum was? used
con si i.-rably as a solvent for India rub
ber for dry cleaning. The London
county council licensed all th« establish
ments where petroleum was used in th s
connection.

flicted with another famine, but the ca
lamity Wiiilera are reaping no advantags
from it. This time she is not hunger
ing for corn, but for rolling stc,>k to car
ry away her big surplus crop of the cer

Los Angeles Times: Inasmuch as the
Dominion government seems hound to
place heavy duties on everything the.t
goes into or comes out of the Klondike
region, isn't it about time for our gov
ernment to put into operation some of
the reciprocity provisions of the new
tariff? When It comes to "hogging" ev
erything in sight, two can pl«y at the
game.
San Francisco Report: At a meeting
of the Associated Improvement Clubs last
evening a resolution was offered to pre
vent the departure of people for the
Klondike le.-t the rush should depopulate
tho city. No harm is being done. Most
of the people who have gone are the sup
erfluous. most of the rest will br!ng bai-k
gold with them, and meanwhile make
trade better. Then Joaquin Miller has
gone, E. J. Baldwin is going, and we have
hopes of others. The associated clubs
very properly defeated the resolution.
