J
A TERRIBLE EXPLOSIVE."
THE WORK OF NITRO-OLTCERINB
in the oil. regions.

Compound Cnrlons Knot.
'( thcro is anything thnt is well
known in the oil country," srtid a life
long oil operator, "it is this terribly
mysterious fenture ot nitro-glycerine ex
plosions the. almost complete annihila
tion of mattcr( especially of the human
borly, which in a majority of cases re
sults from a fatal 'explosion of th:s
deadly compound. There is not nn
operator in the wholo icjjion that can
not recall more than one illustration of
it. I had a teamster named Franco once
in my employ. Like all men of h'i
class in the oil country, there was noth
ing cither above, below, or on the earth
that ho feared, 'lie was in the habit of
carting nitro-lyocrino to any well I
wanted it. Another employo of mine
who helped France was quite as reckless
as the teamster was. They became so
careless in handling the explosive that
other workmen would not stay in the
place if they knew Franco was coming
there with glycerine. These two men
actually used to unload the stuff ns they
might unload a lot of bricks. Franco
standing on the w.igon and throwing a
can to his companion some feet away,
and the latter catching it and placing it
on the ground in time to catch tho next
can. As it takes n man with a good set
of nerves even to ride in a wagon where
ho knows there is nitro-glycerino under
the stmt, this manner of handling a com
pound that frequently explodes under
the slighte-t jar will give an idea of
what sort of nerves those two men had.
Each one knew that if France's helper
missed catching a can thero wouldn't
be enough left of them to cover tho bot
tom of a snuff box, but they had tho
daring to take the chances.
"No one ever knew what caused it,
and no one would have ever known who
it was that was wiped out of existence
except for the fact that we all knew who
it was that was coming thnt way with
nitro-glycerino just at that tinu. When
we heard the explosion down the road
that day there was only one remark
made.
' 'That's France's last trip!'
"The glycerine had exploded about a
quarter of a mile from tho well. We
walked there, and found the usual hole
thnt a few cans of the stulT always dig
when it goes off and the usual lot of
splintered timbers. Three hundred
feet o'.I to the right of theroa.I, in tho
woods, we found a wagon tire. AVc
found tho tail of one horse and small
portions of the body of the other, lu
another part of tho woods a man's knee
cap was picked up, and although we
searched over an area that it would have
been impossible for any of the wreck to
be thrown, that was all we found, except
Franco's greasy cap lying by the side of
a stump and his watch hanging on the
limb of a tree.
"All who have had anything to do
with it in the oil regions have had simi
lar illustrations of tho power of nitro
glycerine time after time. Look at that
poor, reckless George Dolser, I think his
name, who disappeared at Keel Hock, in
tho Bradford field a few years ago. Ho
was walklug along through the town
with two or three cans of glycerine
slung over his shoulder in a bag. lie
had been drinking too much, and in
staggering along he fell head formost
and the bag Hew over his haad and tho
nitro-glycerino cans struck heavily on a
rock. Not a building for half a block
around was left standing. Polan was a
man that weighed over 200 pounds,
and all that tho most thorough search
was able to recover of that Juo pounds
of flesh and bones was part of one of
Dolan's feet less than one pound.
"The almost total disappearance of
bodies is accounted for by some bv tho
theory of spontaneous combustion. That
r 'is something like tho theory that a well
knqwn scientific man once advanced to
explain this mysterious characteristic of
nitro-glycerine. He said it was instan
taneous vaporization of matter. That
thoory we all admitted was plausible as
to flesh, but we could not believe that
the great masses of bone in the human
body, nor heavy pieces of iron and
wood, could bo reduced to vapor in tho
twinkling of an eye. Another theory
thajjaefwith great favor for sumo time
-was that ot atomizntion by exploding
nitro-glyccrine. But this theory was
disproved in a uiost frightful way in the
Allegheny oil field about three years
ago. This case was not characterized,
by the way, by such a great degree of
annihilation as others. Charles Her
ri (lge, a well known oil man, w as blown
up by nitro-glyccrine. Tho ground around
was covered with spotless, new fallen
snow. On each side was a high and ab
rupt hill, only a few rods intervening.
Berridge was a largo man, of probably
ISO pounds weight. The remains of the
poor man were searched for carefully
and long, for he was a good man and a
popular one. Tho coffin in which they
were borne to the grave contents and all,
weighed less than ten pounds. The
greatest! force of a nitro-glvccrine ex
plosion is always upward. If the matter
had been reduced to atoms, ho.vever in
finitesimal, in falling back upon that
spotless snow some trace of them might
have been seen upon it. But it remaiuqd
as spotless as before.
"This singular feature about nitro
,, glycerine ex plosions has been commented
upon and puzzled over every tiae a fatal
ontrn&c occurred in tho oil region, from
tho earliest day the explosive was intro
duced among the Wells." JVno YvrU

FAUH AND HARDEN.
Cattle Riall
An excellent arrangement for cattle
tails, says a New York Tribune corre
spondent, consists in a feeding-rack for
coarse fodder raised about three feet
from the floor snd tho top pitching to
ward the animnl. I'nder the rack at one
end is a feed-box for fino feed. The
animal, of course, must be fastened with
a tie. When it is eating from the rack
mark on the floor where the toes of the
hind hoofs rest; then spike to tho floor
just, even with and forward of the mark
a round stick, flattened on ono side nnd
about four inches thick. AY hen eating,
the animal's hind feet will stand outside
tho Mick, and tho droppings will fall
there, and when it desires to lie down it
will step over the slick and put its head
down under tho rack, ns the stick is so
thick it will not rest its hips on that.
This style of stall obviates the necessity
of a drop in ttie floor, and tho animal
keeps cleaner nnd rests better: but each
stall is only suitahlo for cattlo of tho
same length of body.
Warminir AVmcr for I'nrm Animals
Tho question, Does it pay? has been
propounded to severnl dairymen who
have warmed the drink for their cows in
cold weather, and every ono has an-
swoicrt, ics. How could the answer uo
otherwise?
If tho water is not warmed i
for the animal, it must warm it itclf. In
tho stomach the water is brought to n
temperature of nearly ono hundred de
grees. AYhen tho animnl warms tho
water, it uses its food for fuel. If corn,
hay, etc., were burned by the sto. k r.an
to waim the water, then there might bo
no gain ; but ho uses much cheaper fuel.
It is hardly more trouble to put fuel
under a lank than to give tho animal the
extra food required for tho heating of
the food in the stomach. Tank heaters,
sro now manufactured, and by using
them tho water can be heated easily and
economically. Heating the water pays
for the further reason that cold water
taken into the stomach arrests digostion
and then causes a loss of food, whereas
warm water stimulates the digestivo
organs to vigorous action. Tho animal
that diijks water at the freeiug point
is chilled and enervated. AmcrLan

Preparing Rocs For Winter.
Ono of the many prob'ems for tho bco
keeper to solve is: "How to winter bees '
successfully!" There aie a number of :
ways, each of which have their advo- I
cates, and many practical bee men aro :
successful in wintering their bees in a
cellar, in bunying them in a cave and in '
wintering them on their summer stands. 1
It is of this last method of whUh I intend
to write, as it is ono that is generally
used by the average farmer and is as
practical and gives as good
results as
anv.
The qualifications for successful win
terings arc: First, plenty of bees. Sec
ond, a sufficient amount of food in tho
hivo. Third, proper protection from tho
cold.
There are generally plenty of bees in a
ueauuy coiony as long as tuo coney is
being gathered freely. In this section
the honey flow lasts till the first frost.
About this time it is well to examine
each colony, and if a weak one is found
unite with one that ii stronger. One
strong colony is worth half a dozen
weak ones for wintering.
If any of the colonies have nt least
thirty pounds of good honey in their
hive they should be fed honey, or sugar
ayrup enougii to mime up the deficiency.
A cood svruo for feedi
oy dissolving nvo pounds of granulated ,
sugar in one qunrt ot water, bent until the coops where the brooding hen is con
it forms a smooth syrup, feed to the bees fined, nud in tho droppings of the hen.

'J ho matter of protection is a harder
one to deal with. If your bees aro not
in chaff hives they must be protected
from the piercitu' wluds.and cold storms
of winter. If thcro is a thick hedge or
tight board fenco to tho north and west
of the apiary the chances of wintering
aro much better. Extremes of tempera
ture should be guarded against. This
can bo done bybnuking the hive with
straw nnd covering with boards, leaving
the entrance opeu so the bees can fly
should there be a continuous spell of
" ncaiutr during me wiuter. Or
the farmer can u
e such protection as his '
ts only that the rosult j
lugcnuity sugges
he the Same. Mrt uiin nonnnt tKlnb- on1 I
invent for himself will never coke a suc
cessful bee keeper.
After protecting tho bees from the
Side we mut trv to keen thn wnrmlh
irom mo cluster in the hive bv niacins !
Chaff Cushion?, folded nowsnaners. leaves !
or something of that sort above the
quilt covering the bees. Always re
member to put soino bent p'occs of wood
or some other device between the quilt
and brood frames to allow the bees to
pass from one frame to the othor. If
your bees are in chaff hives, as they
should be, all that is needed is to protect
from above, as already described.
Farmer's Tuo!.
Comparatively few farmers employ any
thing but wood as a f.iel for fami'y use.
There is every reason why this should be
so; upon most farms where there is much
extent of timber or wood luad, there is
generally enough dead wood to furnish
ull the light fuel for 'summer, and tho
cutting of timber for necessary repairs
w ill go far toward affording the supply
for winter, when the demand is ir.oro
severe. In any event, the farmer who
has wood growing upon his farm, which
he can by turning ou his laborconvert
into fuel, and so secure'a supply without
any cash outlay, w ill be likely to resort
to that means in preference to anv
other. '
A wood fiio requires considerable at
tention in order to secure the best re-sult--,
but for general use both summer
and winter, for family purposes thero is
uoming ix-iier.
And yet, counting the value of the ;
wood ttundiug, the time re Uired incut- j
ting to haul, hauling and timo required
to prepare it for use ut regular w ayes, the
cash value would prove au obstacle to its
use.
As before stated, because it can be se -cured
wholly without any cash expendi
ture, and because it can be cut and pro-
jj.itu iUr use wneu mere is no other
work of tho farm pressing, rendeisit the
popular tin 1 among farmers
But in order to eC!Jre the best results,
wood should bo thoroughly seasoned be
fore it s used. Iu burning green wood
that is tillod with sup or moisture, there
must bo a certain amount ot evaporation
carried on before the fuel will burn, and
a certain uiuount of heat must be em
ployed in the process; how much of that
heat eun be utilized during the process it
is di'licult to determine, but it is rea
sonable to siippo-e that but a small
amount of it can be mado available.
Then there ia lust iu burning green wood
just as much hmt us is required to ex
pel the moi-ture from the green wood.
hen there is a year's supply iu ad
vance no tumble in this lino need arise,
nd if it is desirable to occasionally use
a stick of green wood to regulate the
heat a little l.ettir, or to picvent a too
rapid combust U n of the dry, it can be
used.
It is always best to perform the labor
required in the woods to get ready for
hauling in the early winter, or what is
better, in tho lato fall, so as to take
advantage of any favorable conditions
for hauling, and 10 as to have a supply
at hand for the employment of spare
hours.
If wood is to be hauled upon snow we
much prefer cutting in eight feet lengths,
as it requires loss hauling and is fully ns
convenient for chopping at tho wood
pile. In cutting a thought should be
had for the season of year in which tho
bulk of the pile is to be used, and place
by itself that which is smaller and light
wood for summer uso. In preparing for
the winter supply it is very good
economy to leave a considerable propor
tion of largo size, niul especially leave
knots split, only so much ns may be nec
essary to put into tho stove, for the reason
that coarse wood burns slower and makes
coarser coals whon burnod, and may
therefore be considered much moro
durable. At the same time there should
be a suflicicnt quantity finely split so
that a I'ro may be kindled in tho quickest
possiblo timo. Those who enjoy tho
constant heat of a continuous coal tire
know little of the discomfort of occupy
ing ten or fifteen minutes in building a
tire under unfavorable conditions.
After the wood is prepared for use, it
should remain exposed for a time in or
der to aid tho process of seasoning, and
Pen it should bo placed under cover.
J"'"'"" I !'. "' '" "J
i ui nil- uyt,
AYith tho variety of opinions regard
ing tho bo-d woods for fuel, it may bo
said that considerable depends upon
how it is to be used; for burning green
some kinds are far superior toothers,
but when seasoned any will answer the
purpose, although thero is always a
preference for the harder and more com
pact varieties.
Tho hard birches, hickory, ah and
nnd oaks, are cood and will not fail of
making a good heat. Somo of tho soft
are equally as good, but aro consumed
much more rapidly, which is objection
able for winter uso. iVte York Vbiertir.

The prevailing disease among fowls is
that known as gapes, which destroys at
hast one-half of tho young chicks that
, are hatched. The next a sease in re
spect of destructivencss is known as
! cholera, which cariics oil tho mature
j fowls as well as a largo number of chicks,
i These two diseases call for remnrk at
, this time, when they are most prevalent.
. Gapes is tho disorder which causes the
young chicks to open their mouths to
gap for breath. It is caused by tho
presence in the -throat and air passages
of many very small worms usually found,
united in pairs and imbedded in froth
nnd mucus in the air passages. I atcr
tho disease became associated with fover,
throat becomes dry, and the membranes
nro covered with dry scales of mucus.
and nt. timpft rlinhtlierift intervnnns and
nuus us latni proclivities to tne original
disease. Thus tho fatal disorder ofton
grows out of the minor one, and if this
had been prevented the chicks would
have escaped tho other.
Tliw nnrnstttn tlir.iail wnrm ia nlnanlv
related to tho similar one which afects
lambs, calves, and other voung animals.
Its origin and natural history aro well
kuown. It inhabits the intestines ns
well as the lungs of the old fowls,
and at times causes trouble with
them, notwithstanding their greater
power of resistance. The parasites in
the old fowls mature and become charged
with eggs, which are discharged through
the bowels. The soil where tho fowls
run soon becomes infested with myriads
of eggs, which aro picked up by tho
young chicks. Tho writer has found
the eggs abundantly in tho soil under
it l thua .iloinlit thiwn ,nxtr Ilia wrtrma
gam access to the clucks, lor these eggs,
being picked up, hatch into worms
which crawl into the throat, where they
find subsistence upon the exudation of
the sensitive membranes which aro irri
tatod by their presence.
The question, then, is how to prevent
tne presence of these worms in tue sou,
for prevention is much easier than euro
when the trilling value of a little chick
is considered, (.'lean ground is an es
sential requisite for exemption from this
pest, it ttie House is well denned ait
through the winter snd fresh nir-slacked
limo is liberally scattered upon tho floor
and the manure is used in the gardon or
upon fields where the hens are not per
mitted to run, this source of danger is
removed, and in the course of the winter
the supply of eggs and worms will be
exhausted. One other meads ol security
remains, which is to nlow under theaur
f. of hn nnnlln vxrrt nnrl nn it tvith
some green crop wnicn will attord very
desirable food lor tne fowls, ns oats,
peas, turnips, rape, etc. Thus all tho
eggs voided will be buried and got rid
of.
The most danger is when an infested
hen is cooped with her brood, and this
is avoided by moving the coop daily and
covering the ground where it has stood
for twenty-four hours with air-slacked
lime. If, after all precautions aro taktn
the disease still appears in some of the
broods the young chicks should be fed
once a day with corn meal steeped in
kerosene oil and mixed with a larger
quantity of clean meal, in proportion of
ono part of the oiled meal to ten of the
dry meal. This will be sulliciently
Btrong to kill the young worms when
they first appear in the throat. Turpen
tine is equally as effective as kerosene
oil, and may be used iu the same man
ner. i holera is a very common disease and
carries off moro fowls than all other dis
eases together. It is virulently conta
gious, niul, which is still worse, the eggs
of diseased hens when hutched will pro
duce diseased chicks. This is tho cause
of the yellow dischargo of the newly
hatched chick which closes tho bowels
and quickly destroys the young animal.
This disea-e is caused or accompanied
by a specific germ existing in the blood,
nnd wherever this gonu appears, tho
disease exists. It is tho existi-n. o of
this germ in the eggs of diseased hens
and in young chicks which proves that
the disease is inherited. The disease ii
seated in the liver at first, and this orjan
becomes enlarged and very Boft. Th
intestines uie then uttacked, and
become inflamed, ulcerated Ol
gangrened. These symptoms closely
resemble those of the fatal swim
cholera. The most conspicuous symp
tom is a discharge of yellow and green
excrement. The fowl lies iu a sleepj
condition, and dies without n struggle,
as if still asleep. There is no doubt thai
tho diseuto is first contracted by over
feeding and disturbance of tho alimen
tary functions, the liver being first dis
tin bed and thu blood rendered unfit foi
its vital functions. .The means of pre
vention are obvious. Fienueut doses ol
a teuspoonful of saturated solution ol
hyposulphite of soda and a piece of 'blue
Pill" as larce ns a sweet pea have cured
every case in the writer's t'.oek wheu
taken in the early stages. Ii neglectod
until the intestines are affected cure il
hopeless, and tho sick fowl should b
killed and buried deeply or burned at
quickly as possible. 1 borough cleunll
nc ss ia indispensable for safely from this
disorder, and a variety of food, espec
ially green food, is equally necessary.

"The crises are not confined to army and

''hut 1 happen to know more aUmt that
class. I riMiiemt er a snd case, that hap
pened in this city soma years ago. The
wife of nn army officer and a lady friend
went dow n to the marine barracks one Men
tiny nioniiiiR to witness the. guard mount.
AfU'r this was over they were entertained
by a champagne lunch, n't which the otlicer's

did not real!, e it at the time, nor until she
got ready to go homo. Then she found that
though her hend was comparatively clear she

Ho culled a enrriage niul took tho lady and
her friend home. That was nil right, hut
Unfortunately about a week afterward the
young ofiicer himself got under the inthience
of liipior nt a uuiet little gathering, nud told
the. w hole story, In the party was a man
who knew the lady very well, nnd wns n per

nnd then the others were put upon their
honor not to repent tho story. He told me
that if the hustiand ever found out that the
voung man had told the story there would
nave been a tersonal encounter.
"Two wars ngo 1 had a singular experi

1 called a carriage and S lid I would take her

drive around for a while until she was a
little more composed. I did so, and finally
left her at her own door about midnight.
She told me that she feared at first I was go

the idea of being disgraced in that way bad
a good deal to do with bringing her to her

"No, I do not. tin the contrary 1 don't

flnndsomo AVomnn of Vnnsual
Intellectual Attainments How
fSho Occnpiea Her Time.
Frank O, Carpentor says In a Tokio
letter to the New York Wurll thnt the
Kmpro-s of Japan is just about asoldns
her husband (thirty eight years), hhe is
s full head shorter than tho average
American woman nnd has a slender
figure, very stiaight and very dignified.
She apprccintet her position and walks
ike an j-.mpress. it is now more man
a year since she adopted foreign clothes,
und lier jct-hlack bair Is combed in lor
eign stylo and a foreign waterfall sits
upon her shapely crown. Irho has A fine
complexion, much lighter than tho or
dinary Japanese, nnd she has that
drooping of the lower lip which
a mark of Japanese beauty.
Tho only pictures that nre now procur
ablo of her nre those in her old court
dress, but thso give a fair idea of her
fenturrs, and her face is decidedly
aristocrntic. "She does not," says the
Court C'hsmberlan, "paint her lower
P nor blacken her teeth, as was tho
former custo n of Jnpnncso wives, and
she wears now, a stra ght bang of hair
across her forehead." llcrlirst l.uropcan
costumes, to a society lady of lokio
tolls me, were ordered irom tjermnny,
but tho Germans d d not feel competent
for the task and sent her mcasuro to
AVorth Bt Pnris. The clothes were made
and shipped back to Merlin, nnd tho
ticrmnn iircssmakers thero exposed them
ns their own and. nil of tho capital of
(icrmany was called in to inspect the
clothes which the Kmpross of Japan was
about to wear. Such nn nctiou wouiti
hardly be possiblo in tho case of a
Kuropcnn queen, and I hnve heard it
condemned with much indignation hero.
At present I am told that the 1 mpress
buys her clothes, as far as possible, in
Japan. !-ho un tliorougti little Japanese
queen, and she is anxious to do every
thing to advance her own people.
"fche is," in the words ol metouri
Chamberlain, "especially interested in
Japanese women, and she tries to pro
mote their advancement in every way.
hc is very charitable, nnd she is espe
cially patron- of the lied Cross Society
and of the Tokio Charity Hospital. She
often visits tho hospital nud lier influ
ence is given for the good. At tho late
eruption of Hnndaisan sue sent money
nt once to relieve tho gufforcts from the
volcano, and sho is especially iutorcsted
in the education of Japanese women.
There is a fcmnle school attended by tho
girls of tho nobles, which is known as
tho Kmpress's school. She watches very
closely over this, and one of tho pict
ures upon its walls consists of some
poetry writt.cn by her. Tho Kmprcss of
Japan is a fino Chincso scholnr, and sho
is one of the best poets in tho Empire.
AInny of her poems have been set to
music and have been used as national
songs, and quite a number of them nave
been published in tho Japaneso news
papers." " l oll me somcining oi tuo uanj mo
of tho Kmpress " said I.
' 'ohenas, rcpuoamoi ouri mamuur
Iain, "an establishment of hoc own, and
it is quite a largo one. bho has her
maids of honor, her private secretaries
and tho ladies of the court to deal with.
Her morning is occupied by the rending
nnd writing of letto.s. t-hc attends to
the supervision of her various charitios
through others chiefly, and in the after
noon she devotes herself to social duties.
Bho receives at this time tho wives of
tho Sliuisters nnd tho Princesses who
may call upon her, and if they como at
(he proper timo these sometimes take
lea with her. Mio sometimes invites
these ladies to meetings to discus? mat
ters relating to the charity hospital, and
Bhe has a Grand Marshal and a
Chamberlain. Sho is, you know, tho
first Kmpress of tho new order of
things, even as tho ICniperor is tho
first Km pcror. Sho wears but little
jewelry, though she has somo diamond
rings and bracelets. S ho is a lino horso
back ridor, and often takes a turn on ono
oi tho horses of the imperial stables. She
wears a European riding habit and sits
her horse well."
Tho Emperor, the Empress nnd the
Crown Prince make up tho royal family,
or nt least the three most important mem
bers of it. Each of thefo three has, as I
said, an establishment of his own inside
of the palaco grounds. Tho Crown
Prince is hcir-npparont to tho throne.
Ho is tho son ol the Emperor by Mme.
Yanngiwara, and not by tho Kmpress
Haruko. Tho Mikado of Japan has tho
right to twelve wives in addition to the
Empress, and the children of these, in
case of the failuro of issue by the Em
press, have the right to the throne.
They aro all legitimate and uoblo. and it
is to these wives in times pnst that tho
noblest of the court families of to day
date their origin, X'cry littlo is known
about them outside the royal pala e.
These wives do not appear at the Court
ceremonies, and I am told that each has
her littlo establishment insido of the
palace grounds. They are a part of the
constitution of the royal family, ana in
the directory of Japan for this year
I find that tho Emperor hns hnd by
them nino children, though all with tho
exception of three of thoso liavo died
Children thus born havo nothing to do
with their mothers, and the youn
Princo was brought up apart. I asked
the Court Chumbcrlaiu about this de
partment of the palace. He would say
nothing, and said it was not proper for
him to discuss such a private matter of
the Emperor's.
A Fleet Catamnrou.
Anione the curious nautical crafts in
existence is tho celebrated "jauguda,"
or "catamaran, of which so many ap
pear along the coast of Hra.il, especially
close to l'eriiumliuco. They ure made of
a certain kind of palm, so buoyant that
it cannot sink. A row of these Ions,
eicht inches in diameter, and twenty or
more leet long, are piucert siuu uy aiuu,
aud four or six in number. A plank is
thrust down between them aud forms
the rudder. They aro bound together
bv one or two cross plnnkt nailed down,
while the logs are securely attached to
ech other ktout vines. A broad
brown lateen sail made from fibres is
alii xe j to a rude mast in the centre of
the craft.
The catamaran flies before the wind
like a sea-bird; the Baltimore clipper,
the swift courser of the ocean, cannot
outstrip it. Tho t'sherman, with It is
breeches rolled up to his thighs (for
every wave of any sie passes over the
logs), sits securely on a pegged stool;
occasionally he dips up the Lriuy water
and dashes it over his tail. These cata
marans are perfectly safe, und often
they carry patsenpers up and down the
coast. They venture out to the tithing
grounds or gome iudetiuite distance from
the land, ten to foity miles. The tifeh
caught are of the most extraordinary va
rieties. Kett Orleunt Timei-JJeino rat.
