said Harold,
Sleight of Hand Shooting.

A murder case awaiting trial in India
was, according to the India papers, ex-
pected to give rise to much legal discus
sion as to whether the circumstances
justified the charge. A juggler who al
legged that he possessed some power
which rendered him "bullet proof" in
vited the prisoner in the case to aim at
him with loaded mu ,ket, assuring him
that he might do SO without the slightest
fear of producing any painful results.
The prisoner accepted the kind invita-
tion, and with a loaded musket present
ed to him by the juggler Immediately
sent bullet through his head. 1t is
urged that as there was no intention on
the part of the prisoner to kill the de-
ceased, the charge of murder cannot be
maintained. The juggler was thorough
ly confident of his own invulnerability,
and several of his relations who were to
be called as witnesses for the defence
were prepared to prove that, although
several times shot at before, he was
never hurt. Some few years ago in
England a "wizard" at one of the
theaters begged one of the audience. as
favor to fire gun at him. The spec
tator thus invited loaded the gun with
charge of shot he had brought with
him for the express purpose of testing
the alleged invulnerability of the wiz
ard. The result was painful in the ex-
treme. The wizards face was peppered
with the shot, and the spectator who
fred the gun was given into the custody
of the police. Both narrowly escaped
death-one by the gun, the other by the
palloWs.

The Agent that Exploded.

A reporter called upon Mr.. Alfred
Rix, the attorney of the Atlantic giant
powder company, to ascertain something
regarding the nature of the powerful
agent which exploded with such terri
BILE force at the Bergen tunnel in New
Jersey.
Mr.. Rix said: "We never sold the
contractor of the Bergen tunnel an
ounce of giant powder, and they had none
to use. The firm represent and an
other in San Francisco are the only ones
in America that make dynamite, as it is
called in Europe, or giant powder, as we
name it here"
What was the nature of the explo-
sive used, then2"
&C. 1t was either vulcan powder or rend
rock powder, or both; think they used
both"
care these powders similar to dy-
namite2"
"They are somewhat similar; they
are ignited in the same way as dyna-
mite"
How are those powders exploded 2'
"By the explosion of percussion
cap within a charge or cartridge of the
powder. Each cap is coated inside with
as much illuminate of mercury as is con-
tanned in twenty ordinary percussion
caps. A fuse is attached to the cap and
ignited when it is desired to explode the
charge. Tons of the powder can be
set on fire and will burn without explod-
ing, while the explosion of one charge
by the capped fuse will set off others,
even few feet away, with which they
are totally unconnected.
"Will an ordinary concussion explode
those blasting powders ?"
"Not such as are properly made.
There are some sorts, however, that are
exceedingly dangerous to handle. When
the nitro glycerine is mixed with poor
absorbent, from which, in course of
time, it leaks, there is great danger at
tending its use. Fire will set off nitro
glycerine at times; friction, or a sudden
collision with any hard substance, will
also cause it to explode"
1t is claimed that the explosion was
caused by strikers. Although no lives
were lost, vast amount of damage was
done.
