Pittsburg (Special). Two men were killed and thirteen others were seriously Injured by an explosion in convortor No. 3 of the Edgar Thomp son plant of the United States Steel Corporation at North Braddock. Th dead are Paul Kurlsck, aged 30 years, and Stephen Dovlah, aged 35 years, both of Braddock. Six of the Injured were Americans and the others Slavs. All were re moved to a hospital In this city where It was said their injuries were not serious. No official statement on the cause of the explosion has been Issued but old converter mill men say the cause could hardly be other than that some of the molten metal sifted through the soapstone lining of the converter and came in contact with the steel sheathing, which perhaps was damp. When the explosion occurred, the bottom of the converter dropped out, throwing fifteen tons of molten metal into the pit where fifteen men were working at the ladles. There was no explosion when the hot mass of steel struck the bottom of the pit, but Instead flames of burning gas were sent up, which burned the men in the pit. The two men who were killed had been working under the converter and their bodies were ter ribly mangled. The force of the explosion blew the sheet-iron roof off of the con verting mill and caused two of the walls to collapse, besides breaking all of the windows In buildings In the vlnclnlty, and partially destroying the enginehouse and warehouse near the converting mill. TALK THROUGH RIBS BY TELEPHONE NOW. It lm Not Necessary Any rtlore to Put Your XApn to the Hard Rubber Fuuuel-Juat Hold It to Cheat. St. Louis, Mo.

The same re sults may be obtained by placing the transmitter firmly against the chest or In fact nearly every part of the body and sneaking In a clear, natural tone. The new system was discovered by two young women, one living in Westminster place and the other In Delmar boulevard. If you have any doubts place the trcusmltter to your chest and tell "Central the number you want. This fact probably was not known to tho telephone etperts when they prepared the instructions for the use of tho contrivance. They advise you to stand close to the receiver. The "chest system" is sure to gain favor among those who have fear of contracting diseases from using the 'phone. The new way is sanitary, as there is little chance of communicating germs from the transmitter to the Hps or nostrils of the person using the telephone. Moreover, it is non fatiguing and convenient, as one may carry a transmitter about the room and talk while Walking and switch It from place to place. Professor Calvin M. Woodward, a scientist at Washington University, said that there was nothing surprising about the principle Involved in the "chest system," although he frankly admitted that It had never occurred to him or any one else before to test its practicability. "The sound vibration In the lungs la communicated to the transmitter through the chest. Instead of throuch the 11ns. and Is then carried nvor th I wire In the usual way," he said.

When the dispatch was received from St. Louis tell ing of the new method of rib telephoning, several reporters assigned to the task of tfactlcal experiments were Joined by numerous volunteers, who talked among themselves, to Central, and to their friends with the receivers placed at whatever point inexperience might suggest. The experimenters detailed to the work carried on conversations In or dinary tones, following the direction given in the dispatch, and all reported that there was no difficulty in distinguishing what was said, although the tones seemed to lack distinctness. "Hello, Central," called one investigator. "What number, please?" came the response. "I am not talking to you through my lips," remarked the reporter Ir relevantly. "Through your hat?" Bhe queried sweetly. "No," Insisted the subscriber. "Tbe sound that you hear has not passed through my Hps. I am Just making an experiment." This was more serious than Central had expected, and she confessed that she was puzzled. An explanation was not forthcoming, however, and the operator professed willingness to wait and have the puzzle explained in the morning paper. Men familiar with telephones suggested that the discovery by the St. Louis girls might be utilized in the development of a new form of transmit ter, which could be clamped against the chest of the operator. Its special application to the purposes of portable wireless telephone systems was pointed out. In the brief experiments conducted It was found that the best results were obtained by placing the receiver at the base of the breast bone. Witli A Silent Onnrd.

Soils must be made productive through drainage, cultiva tion, animal feeding and the scien tific use of fertilizers. Profits will be increased by selecting plants and breeding animals of high quality, such as the wealthy city trade de mands. Two avenues of effort are In view. The first lies through federal and State support, established as a prin ciple by the Morrill act and subse quent kindred legislation. The na tion and the State, acting concor dantly, are to work out agricultural education as it relates to the col lege secondary and common schools, enabling every land worker to un derstand the Jaws of plant and ani mal life; to establish a workable and sane system of forestry, which shall make the present woodland profitable as a harvested farm crop, and make possible the reforesting of non- valuable cultural soils upon higher altitudes, to conserve the water sup ply needed for municipal and Irriga tion purposes; to aid In developing the waste water-power through elec tricity into heat, light and power; to facilitate mail and parcel distribu tion; to inaugurate a complete study of ' Latin-American markets; to pro vide, through legislation, an equal opportunity for success in each of our rapid activities, and to promoto rapid transportation into remote lo calities by means of good roads and trolleys, thus urbanizing them in re spect to world knowledge and move ments of men and things; to install, in conjunction with local organiza tion, a system of Inspection and guarantee with trade-mark identifi cation, for farm and live-stock pro ducts, and to adapt co-operative dairy methods to their sale, and to assist in directing the legislative and local thought for the good of every class and interest, the prosperity of each being influenced by the welfare of the whole. The second effort must be local. Thorough individual and organized action, soil improvement, supple mented by plant and animal breed ing, will increase production, thus decreasing lta cost both in labor and capital, reducing tbe expenditure of human energy for support, and leav ing to man more time for self-im provement, thereby lessening the de sire to leave the land.

"Les Malsons des Enfans," as they are called, have only just been estab lished In Paris, but they are looked upon as the beginning of an im- I mense movement to house, not only tho larger families of thousands of the middle classes whose business call for the presence in the heart of the city of the head of the family. Before the "Houses of the Chil dren" came into being, such parent ' might spend day after day wearily walking tbe streets In search of fam ily accommodation, and almost going down on their knees in vain to Jani tors and landlords, whom nothing could Induce to admit a family of children Into their "exclusive" ,and high-priced apartment houses. Needless to say, this association, and several others recently formed or now forming, backed by philanthropic capital and with the same end in view, do not care for any particular return from their money bo that fu ture citizens bo housed In light and airy rooms and their comfort ca tered to by architect, landlord and concierge. Branch societies are put ting up apartment houses, also for very large families up to ten and twelve children, with gardens as play ground for the little ones. The bites chosen, however, will naturally ! be a little out of Paris in places where tbe price of laud Is not alto- ' gether prohibitive. But the fact re- i mains that France is so alive to the "depopulation peril" that some of her foremost citizens are building "Housea of the Children" and posi tively advertise for tenants with large families only. The rents, a usual, will barely pay the expenses of management; j and in the new piles are being erect- ' ed there will be the same generous provision of air and sunshine, with gardens filled with flowers, trees and spacious lawns, bo that the little ones may be brought up in close com- munlon with nature.
