HOKE THAJf A CENTURY OLD.

London, March, 17.—Professor Man
uel Garcia, the famous teacher of sing
ing and probably the most clebrated
centenarian in the world, received
many cards and notes of congratu
lation today on beginning the second
year of his century of life. More than
eighty years ago Garcia was a cele
brated baritone and more than six
ty years ago he retired, to become the
most successful teacher of his day.
Jenny Lind was the most celebrated
of his pupils another was Marches!,
herself a noted maker of singers.
At the time of Garcia's birth, March
17, 1905, Haydn, Beetheven, Weber and
Schabert were living, Mendelssohn,
Chopin, Schumann. Verdi, Wagner,
Braham and TschaikowsUy were not
born. Garcia was born in Madrid and
his full name is Manuel Patrico Rod
riguez Garcia. His fater was the cel
elbrated Spanish tenor for whom Ros
sini specially composed the part of
Almaviva in "The Barber of Seville."
in 1825 he, with his father's family,
Introduced in New York the first sea
son of Italian opera ever given in the
New World. Garcia's sister was the
famous Malibrau, regarded as the fore
most mezzo-soprano of lier day. She
died in 1S3(, seventy years ago. His
youngest daughter, Mine. Viardot
Garcia, was in early days the dis
tinguished Pauline, a great vocalist.
Nearly half a century since Signor
Garcia presented a paper on the
laryngoscope to the Royal Society, ex
plaining an invention which has since
•become one of the most valuable of
the physician's instruments. One of
the most remarkable characteristics
of this grand old an mof music is his
vitality of body and vigor of mind.
That he expects to live some time
yet is evidenced by him telling a young
lady, who applied last summer to him
for lessons, to come again to him in
three years, as her voice was too im
mature for work.
UKOVElt CLEVELAND'S BIRTHDAY.
Ex-President Enters Upon His 70th
Year Tomorrow.
elated Preen to The Evening Time*.
Princeton, N. J. March 17.—Former
President Cleveland enters upon his
seventieth year tomorrow. He will
pass the day quietly with his family.
The ex-president shows few signs of
his age. His fishing and hunting
and other forms of outdoor enjoy
ment have kept him robust and heal
thy.
It has now been twenty-one years
since Mr Cleveland was first inaugur
ated. Other presidents have survived
longer than that after taking the oath
of office. John Adams, inaugurated in
.1797, lived twenty-nine years after
ward, to die on the same day as
Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson survived
twenty-five years after beginning his
first term. Madison's record was two
years better. John Quincy Adams
made a record of twenty-nine years,
Martin Van Buren twenty-five, and
Tyler twenty-one, the same as Cleve
land. Fillmore survived twenty-four
years. It is a significant fact, and
one that goes to show how much great
er is the strain of office now than in
the time of Fillmore, that Mr. Cleve
land is the only man who has lived
a score of years after becoming Presi
dent since the Fillmore administion.

A TEST BY FIREMEN.
EXPLOSIVES
CEBTAIN
BUKNED TO AS
THE DANGER.
Cartridges Explode with Insufficient
Force to Do Much Damage—
Interesting Experi
ment.
An interesting experiment was made
a few days since at the convention of
firemen at Duluth, says the Boston
Herald, for the purpose of having ds
termined the extent of danger there
was to firemen in entering a burning
building known to contain ammuni
tion. In a great many hardware stores
it is known that ammunition is carried
in stock, and in gun stores ammuni
tion, of course, is a regular part of the
stock in trade. It has been thought
that this class of material was of a
character that would prove seriously
dangerous in case of fire, because fire
men would naturally be afraid to en
ter buildings where, in consequence of
explosions, their lives would be endan
gered. It has been customary in most
cities to have ordinances passed reg
ulating the amount of gunpowder that
can be carried in a mercantile stock,
and also designating the manner in
which the powder shall be kept and
the place in the store in which the re
ceptabie shall be placed. Thus, in
Boston, the ordinance provides that
gunpowder shall be kept in a metal
receptacle that the amount carried
at any one time shall be strictly lim
ited, and that the metal box in which
it is kept shall be placed near the
door of the store at a place known to
the firemen, so that in the event of
fire it can be easily removed. But
with fixed ammunition regulations of
this kind are not in force, and a great
deal has been left to the discretion of
the dealers in, these supplies.
A current belief has existed that if
a gun store were to, take fire it would
be dangerous to enter it, and, indeed,
it might be dangerous for anyone to
pass in the near vicinity at the time
of the fire. The experiments made1at
Duluth were for the purpose of deter
mining the conditions under which
explosions of ammunition took place,
and how these compared with condi
tions that determined the explosion of
gunpowder. Gunpowder in bulk will
explode with great force, and the ex
ploding of one keg may tear open ad
jacent kegs, and the flash of fire from
the first may be communicated to the
second with such rapidity that the ex
plosion is practically simultaneous.
The experiment made at Duluth was
in a building put up for the purpose,
in which were placed thousands of
rounds of ammunition of all kinds,
both in paper shells and also metallic
rifle and pistol cartridges. Altogeth
er, In the two tests, in one of which
the cartridges were left free, and the
other in which they were put in con
fined space, as in boxes, so,000 or more
cartridges must have been made the
subject of the experiment.
It was found, as the result of put
ting these in buildings specially built
to be burned down, that air exploding
cartridge has nQt sufficient force to
tear open the adjacent cartridge, and,
therefore, cannot communicate Are to
the powder charge of its neighbor. In
a fire each cartridge explodes individ
ually, and explodes when its partic
ular primer 14 heated to the flashing
point, but the flash from one cartridge,
cannot set oK the adjacent cartridge,
consequently, instead of having simul
taneous explosions, there is a peries
of explosions, though when there are
large quantities of ammunition burn
ing these follow in quick succession,
like musketry fire.
The danger from flying fragments of
exploding cartridges Is found not to
be a carious matter, as the cartridge
shell, when unsupported by the gun
nber. bursts at the 9rat indication
V"
pressure and thus allows the gases
to escape at a relatively low pressure.
The escaping gas expends its energy
in tearing open the shell rather than
in throwing the bullet forward, and
as there is nothing to confine the es
caping gas. it has little propulsive
force. Often the heads of the cart
ridges are torn off and thrown fome
little distance, but the bullets hardly
ever fly that Is. the heavier parts of
the cartridge remain behind and only
the lighter parts are thrown off. and
this with no great force or velocity.
In a fire firemen can keep well beyond
the range of the thrown fragments and
still be within easy working distance
and as close to the fire as the heat will
permit.^
In the Duluth tests it was found that
fragments of cartridges were thrown
from 20 to b0 feet, but with so low a
velocity that those who were hit suf
fered no discomfiture. The cartridges
burned contained more than 400
pounds of black and smokeless pow
der. a sufficient quantity, if kept in
bulk, to have made a very serious ex
plosion but when tl.-ts divided it wa&
found that little, if any, damage would"
be caused by it.
Sanitarium and Sanatorium.
These two terms are frequently con
fused: "Sanitarium" is from sanitas.
meaning liealtB, and is correctly applied
to a healthful place, a resort for con
valescents. Sanatorium, from senare, to
heal, is correctly applied to institutions
designed for the special treatment of
sick persons, as. for instance, places
where consumptives are treated.

CARRIAGE OF CHARLES X.
Walls of Coronation Coach Presented
to Museum by Widow of
Builder.
Paris.—Mme. Ehrler, widow of the
famous coach builder of the Tuileries
under the third Napoleon, has just
presented to the Museum of Decora
tive Art the four walls of the carriage
used by Charles X. at his corona
tion. The emperor had sent them to
Ehrler in order that the royal coat
of-arms bo replaced by the imperial
monograms. Ehrler, however, would
not defacc the works of art, and pre
ferred to make new ones for the em
peror and retain the ancient ones.
The inside of the panels are in
gilt and are ornamented with mag
nificent allegorical pictures. The
front and back panels, which bear the
royal coat-of-arms, are decorated with
the figures of Peace, Truth, Force
and Justice. The side panels are or
namented with the coats-of-arms of
France and Navarre, respectively, and
around them are painted several genii
dressed in the costume of the pages
of that time, bearing the emblems of
Art, Agriculture, Abundance and
Commerce. The value of the panels
is immense from an artistic as well
as from an historical point of view.
RAGPICKER'S HIDDEN HOARD
Secret of Miser Is Penetrated in French
Town When Store Is Cleared
of Contents.
Paris.—The little town of Brail
leul, in the north of France, has with
in the last few days been the scene
of a singular incident. The premises
of a petty marine store dealer had
become such a public nuisance to the
neighborhood from accumulations of
rags of several years' standing, that
strong complaints were made to the
police, and. as the owner refused to
READY-MADE HOMES ARE
ALWAYS IN DEMAND
People of democratic tastes, who
like to "live in a house," but not in a
lenesome one—solve the problem
easily and to their profit by renting
furnished rooms to pleasant people.
Isn't it better to live in a good
house, with a few lodgers who pay
your entire rent for you a little to
ward your household expenses, than
to live in a small apartment, alone,
with expenses that grow harder and
harder to meet?
If you advertise PERSISTENTLY
you may, at a nominal cost, keep
these "READY-MADE HOMES" al
ways tenanted by THE RIGHT KIND
OF PEOPLE, and the somewhat bitter
problem of HOW TO MAKE BOTH
ENDS MEET will give you less con
cern.
When you set aside a few rooms in
your house as "ready-made homes"
and begin to advertise them you will
be surprised to find how many of the
"nice sort" of folks live in furnished
rcoms—and you will be surprised to
find out how easy a matter it is to
wipe out the terrors of your own "rent
day."

The contents, in an unspeakable
condition of offensive decay, 'filled 12
carts, and underneath all the rotting
mass, which was evidently there to
serve the double purpose of hiding
place and scarecrow, were two grdat

Philippine "Conants."
The standard silver coins being used
in the Philippines are known as
"Conants," having been named for
Charles A. Conant, who was sent to
the islands to prepare a coinage sys

objected to this nickname and dir cted
that the coins should be known as
Philippine currency. Before this order
arrived they were universally called
"Conants." and notwithstanding the
official mandate the name has stuck.
