FREAKS OF AN EXPLOSION.
The Artist's House Was Wrecked, and
How He Got Out Alive and Unin-
jured Is a Mystery—The Puzzle of the
Staircase and Hallway.
In 1874 a canalboat carrying a hun-
dred barrels of gunpowder along the
Regent's park canal in London ex-
ploded just opposite the magnificent
house of Laurence Alma-Tadema, the
famous artist, across the road. This
happened at 4 o'clock on a rainy morn-
ing. Every window in London within
a radius of a mile was smashed, and
the houses in the immediate vicinity,
though solidly built of brick and stone.
were wrecked.
“] was sound asleep in bed at the
time,” sald Alma-Tadema, “and the
first 1 knew of the explosion was when
1 found myself standing out on the
sidewalk in front of my house in the
rain, with my pajamas on and bare
feet. How 1 got there I never knew.
The entire top of the brick wall in
front of the lawn before my house was
blown off, and the front of the house
ftself was as if driven in by the blow
of a giant's fist,
“The canalboat, we found out after-
ward, had blown up underneath a solid
bridge that crossed the canal at that
point. Had it not been for that my
bouse and the others near it would
have been utterly knocked to pleces.
It was fortunate, too, that there was
no one on the street at the time. Had
the explosion occurred in the daytime
hundreds of persons might have been
killed or maimed.
“But the strangest episode connected
with the event concerned the map
whose duty it was to keep watch on
the bridge during the night. His name
PARIS CABBIES.
—————
The War of Words That Comes When
They Block Each Other.
There is no more entertaining way to
. spend an idle hour in Paris than to get
| into a taxicab and instruct the driver
to go along some street where you will
be reasonably sure to get into a jam or
to bump against another cab. The
charm of the experience is, of course,
enhanced by your ignorance of what
the cabbies say. .
Should your driver merely graze the
|
i
|
|
his seat and yell mellifivously at the
other driver, who in turn will shout
back an assortment of vowels. But
the best is a quarrel between two cab-
bles obstructing each other's way.
The conversation, translated as nearly
literally as is safe, goes In this wise:
“Sacred name! Why do you?
“Holly blue! 1 do not!”
“Stomach on the ground!
the face of an ox!”
“Blue stomach! Are you in chains?’
“A bas! Name of a dog!”
“Mon Dieu! Name of a pig!”
“Wow (or words to that effect)!
Name of a name!"
“A thousand deaths!
name of a name!”
Now you begin to expect some do-
ings. While you have not fully un-
derstood, you are satisfied that nothing
but pistols and knives will wipe out
the insults.
Unfortunately about this time the
jam is untangled and you are allowed
to drive away, but the other driver
yells after yours:
“Aha! You are a little plece of
brown soap!”
It seems that this expression is the
“fighting name” in Paris. Were it not
that your cabby owes a duty to you
and must convey you to your destina-
tion you know by his facial egpres-
sion that he would climb down and
get that other cabby and muss up the
city with him.
He contents himself with turning
about and making a face in the direc-
tion of his enemy and of going through
the motion of spitting at him.
Then he says “Yoop!" to the horse,
You have
Name of a
was Peter Knox. He was thirty-seven
years old, married and had two chil- |
dren. 1 knew the fellow and had often |
chatted with him on the bridge. The |
day before the explosion he had ar- |
ranged with a friend of his to come at
4 o'clock and relieve him. It was a
Saturday, and he wanted to take his
wife and children a little trip down to
Bushey park on the Thames, and he
wished to get to his home in east Lon-
don in time so as to have breakfast
and be off early on Sunday morning
“Well, as 4 o'clock drew near, Peter,
s0 he told me afterward, began to feel
anxious lest his friend should have
forgotten the appointment. He paced
up and down the bridge and looked
up the street, but the morning was so
dark and misty with the rain that he
could see only a short distance. A
few minutes before 4, he said, he no-
ticed a line of canalboats come slow-
ly down toward the bridge, but paid
no special attention to them.
“Just before the first boat passed
under the bridge he stepped off it,
though in doing so he was infringing
the regulations, and sauntered up the
street in the direction from which he
expected his friend to appear. He had
gone about forty yards when the ex-
plosion took place, and when he turned
not a brick of the bridge was left. If
he had been less impatient or if his
friend had been mere prompt, one or
both of them would never have been
seen or heard of again.
“But my own little adventure was
singular enough. As I said. 1 was
not conscious of having been awak-
ened by the explosion, still less of
having got out of bed, come down-
stairs, opened the front door and step-
ped out to the sidewalk. The shock
had knocked all memory of these acts
out of my head, and 1 have never re-
covered it.
“But what puzzled me most was the
condition of things 1 found when !
went back into the house. The hall
was a mass of wreckage, and the stair-
case from top to bottom was covered
with pleces of broken glass, sharp as
razors and so distributed that 1 found
it impossible to ascend without a light
to show me where not to tread.
“Nevertheless I had come down
those same stairs, with my eyes shut
or unseeing. and had never so much as
scratched my bare feet. The thing
was impossible, and yet 1 had done it.
I had been skeptical about miracles
before that, but since then I have been
both a believer and an evangelist.” —
Chicago Record-Herald.
His Quietus.
The bridegroom relaxed for a mo-
ment his arm’s tense pressure.
“What would you do,” he whispered
hoarsely, “if by some terrible accident
T should be drowned?’
In the mild moonlight he saw his
young wife pale and shudder.
“Oh, don't, Tom!" she cried. “How
can you? You know I don’t look well
in black.”"—Chicago Inter Ocean.
Not Impressed.
“l have been abroad In the best of
soclety,” boasted the city youth, “Why
even my trunks bear the Ishels of
Bwitzerland.”
“Gosh, that ain't nothing, sonny!"
drawled his rural uncle. “So does a
box of cheese.”—Chicago News.
She Recalled an Instance.
“Mrs. Peddicord,” sald that lady's
husband, “did you ever say anything
that you afterwsrd regretted saying?”
“Certainly. 1 said ‘Yes' once and
have been sorry for it ever since.”-

THATCHING.
The Ancient Art In the Low Countrizs
and In England.
Once upon a time two amateur bot-
anists were hunting bog mosses on
Exmoor, on the confines of the land of
Lorna Doone. About the hour of
luncheon thoy found that their enthu
siasm had led them far afield, a good
hour and a half from the farmhouse
which they had made their temporary
headquarters. The only place which
vielded promise of food was a shep-
herd's shack half a mile distant, so
thither they went. That the shack,
or, rather, its owner, a small, wiry,
dark man with curly hair. could offer
nothing better than brown bread,
which was woefully “clit,” or heavy.
and raw onions is neither here nor
there. The point was that the roof
of the shack was artistically thatched
with layers of plaited reeds.
“Feyther taught 1 th’ way to do un”
explained the shepherd, with an up
ward jerk of his thumb toward the
roof. “An’ his feyther taught ‘im
avore that, an’ his feyther avore that.
an' back an’ back twill nobody ean
think."
“A hereditary art evidently,” said
one of the moss hunters to his com-
panion. “But I never saw thatches like
these outside of the Low Countries.
Safe bet that this fellow is of Dutch
descent.” Then he said to the man of
Devon, “And what is your name, may
I ask?
“Well,” replied the shepherd, “most
volk call 1 Van, but ma right name be
Henry Van Torp. They do say that
ma gurt-grandfeyther were a-vitin'
against England an’ were took prison
er an’ mariied a Devon girl an’ set-
tled 'ereabout”—he indicated the south-
ward sweep of the moor—*“but these
be a lot of vooligh tales to ma think.
