and the total cost to the insured for
Ove years was $I.SI per $1, 000. or about
8.1 cents per year per $!.oihi. The Cat

$'JtKt,(oo insurance in 1002 and has over
Jf 1, 000,000 in force.
The Ohio (i rangers' Mutual Insur
ance company has been in operation
twenty-three years. There are now
S.2S0 policies In force, the ninount of
the insurance being $:t.1oo,0lti. There
tiove been twenty-one assessments for
ISI losses during the t .venty-three

ance per year hns been ifl.-l.'I per $1,000.
In Massachusetts the grange com
puuies wrote $lu7.00S insurance In 1002,
and total risks are $7.".",:;iiS. Iteeeliits
for premiums were $:j.272, while the
looses were only $1,111. This Is a re
markable showing, for while good for
tune has certainly attended the com
pany H is also evidence of carefully
selected risks.
Herein lies one of the chief reasons
for the excellent showing made by
rrunge insurance companies care In
election of risks, then economy of ml
lutulstratiou nnd careful supervision.
GRANGE CONFERENCES.
Klphiiran Talilna the I.rud la a Mont
Valuable I.lne of Work.
Michigan state grange, under the
careful direction of its worthy master.
George 11. llorton, is stepping Into the
frout rank us an efficient farmers or-
puiilssutiou. More new granges were
orcauized In that state last year thnn
lu Htiy other. It has more grange halls
owned by the granges. It Is proving
of vust helpfulness to the fanners lu
iuwttor9 of legislation. The latest Idea
te to hold grange conferences through
ut the atute, much after the custom of
the farmers' institutes. Assignments
have been made, for a series of nearly
200 meetings in uid of uniformity in
erongo work nud to nsslst nil granges
new und old, in the way of essential
methods to grange success. These con
ferences are supposed to be bo located
as to be convenient for ull members
fi-nm nil granges to attend. In behalf
f the state grange a proficient confer
ence conductor will assist ut each meet
Iiil' A considerable portion of each
programme is to be made up from as
ignments to local people, und discus
ion will be general.
All conferences nre Intended to be
closed sessions. All parts of grange
work will be considered. The Idea Is n
good one for adoption in every state.
What the GranRrn Slmidx For.
The grange is the strongest nnd most
enduring farmers' society iu tills coun
try, if not In the world. Other farm
organizations have sprung up and flour
ished for a time, ouly to wither or die,
After a hard struggle uud slow early
growth the grange lives, a powerful
yet conservative element in American
farm life. We may safely say that 110
other organization so fairly represents
the American farm freeholder. An
tionest expression of grunge opinion
may be accepted ns u fair statement of
the views held by the better class or
furuiers who own their farms nnd live
n them. If there is uny organization
better qualified to glvo voice to the
views of this class, we do not know
vaut it la. Rural New Yorker.
A uoblo trinity -the " church, the'
chool and the grange. All are labor
ing for tho uplift of humanity.

Air u 11 Curative .incut.
Air Injected under the skin is said
to relieve neuralgia, sciatica und lum
bago. It is known that these diseases
are affections of the ends of the nerves,
which lie just under the skin. The In
jection of air cnuses the nerves to
lengthen, nnd thus the pnin Is miti
gated. When the bubble of air is
pressed by the linger the uir moves
ulong the nerves, giving relief in ull
parts of the ntl'ected region.

At the promises of nn Ilngllsh com
pany there occurred solno time ngo n
disastrous fire which completely gutted
nn enormous building nnd caused losses
aggregating $r(HJ,ooo. The lire was at
tributed to nn explosion of mult.
Any fine Inflammable dust when
mixed with n certain proportion of dry
nlr will explode. There wns n previous
similar accident In a New York enndy
manufactory. A terrific explosion
which wrecked the entire building wns
discovered to be due to the fact thnt
particles of fine icing sugar had been
allowed to Invade the room where tho
furnace were.
An eminent authority on explosives
declares that many of those accidents
In conl mines usually attributed to fire
damn have been caused by dry coal
dust suspended in the galleries having 1
been accidentally fired, liven so appar
ently as innocent n aubstnnee ns nour
becomes fearfully explosive when
?nlxed In suitable proportions with dry
air.
Another substance that has proved to
be extremely dangerous when stored In
large quantities Is chlorate of potash.
Atlisaster some years ago In a big Lon
don factory proved the destructive
powers of this simple remedy for colds.
Sugar and chlorate of potash mixed
form an explosive which has been tried
for blasting purposes, but so dangerous
I iu compound is it mat uii r-vr'"
I containing these ingredients is not like-
ly to pass Ihe government tests in this
country.
A good many years ngo it was dis
covered that cellulose soaked lu strong
nitric acid changed from n substance
no more harmful than paper to 11 tierce
explosive. The number of materials on
which nitric acid will work u similar
' transformation Is almost endless.
I Wood, paper, straw, coal, peat, pitch,
' starch, sugar, tea tan, phosphorus. Iron.
I zinc, copper and magnesium nre only a
i few that could be named.
! One of the best known and most ter
I rible of these mixtures Is nitroglycerin,
j which Is simply nitric acid and cotn-
mon glycerin mixed together and ul
i lowed to fall into a stream of water.
Dvnamlte is nothing more than mtro
..iVc.Hn ntisorlied bv some spongy sub
stance. Alum, nsbestus, plaster or par
is, sawdust, bran, meal, even dried and
potindeii potatoes, have been employed
for this purpose, but the substance
most commonly employed Is what is
known as "klesel guhr." or spongy
earth. This Is the kind of clay formed
of minute fossil shells, great beds of
which nre found In Cermany and oth
er parts of the world.
(iuncotton, which was first made in
18-i'J, Is the form of nltro compound
usually employed in war. It is manu
factured from ordinary cotton waste
treated with n mixture of nitric and
sulphuric adds.
There Is one very curious point about
guncotton. It cannot be made from
raw cotton In the bale; waste cotton is
necessary for its manufacture. It seems
I as if the bleaching to which manul'ac-
i tured cotton lias been subjected has
something to do with lltting the waste
i for becoming explosive material. Oily
I wasto is, however, completely useless
for making guncotton. und If even a
little is carelessly used a whole batch
of the manufactured product may bo
1 spoiled.
Guucottou is bo extraordinarily sud
! den' in its action that a small quantity
i has been exploded In contact with a
heap of gunpowder nud has failed to
set fire to it
The great ndvnntngo which guncot
ton possesses over all other explosives
is that damp does not injure it. In
fact, wet guucottou explodes with Just
ns great violence as dry, but Is of
course much harder to flr6. Conse
quently It is one of tho safest explo
sives to carry, ns It cau bo thorougtuy
wetted before Ducking and kept wet
during transport For mining purposes
or for use in war guncotton is usually
compressed into hard cakes.
The cordite which is now used lu
British military rifles is a rather more
compound substance, being composed
of thirty-seven parts of guncotton
mixed with flfty-elght of nitroglycerin
nud live parts of mineral Jelly. It Is
formed into littlo cords each three-
eighths of an inch in diameter. These
nre made up into little fagots wuicu
are placed in the cartridges,
What seems a very odd substuueo
from which to make an explosive 13
KUlta perchti. But by the action of ni
tric ucld it cau be turned Into n formi
dable detonator.
F.acb country has its pet powder. Tho
Uuitcd States uses plcrateof ammonia
the French have a beautiful, semi
transparent, chestnut colored powder
made of the uitrutes of potassium aud
barium. Besides these there are dozens
of explosives with fancy names such
as lmlllstite, cannonlte. rifieito, randlte,
lilastomenite'. These vary in size nnd
shape of grain, color and power, but
they nil depend on tho action of nitric
ncld for their explosive force. Atlanta
