The ExplOsiVeDess of Flour.

Professors Peck ard Peckham, of the
university Of Minnesota, have been
making an extensive series of expert
ments to determine the cause of the re-
cent flour mill explosion at Minneapolis
The substances tested were coarse and
fine bran, material from stone grinding
wheat; wheat dust, from wheat dust
house; middlings, general mill dust,
dust from middlings machines, dust
from flour dust house from stones and
flour. When thrown in a body on a
light, all these substances put the light
out. Blown by a bellows into the air
surrounding a gas fame, the following
results were obtained:
Coarse bran would not burn. Fine
bran and flour dust burn quickly, with
considerable blaze Middlmgs burn
quicker, but with less flame. All other
substances burn very quickly, very
much like gunpowder.
In all these cases there was Il space
around the flash where the dust was not
thick enough to ignite from particle to
particle; hence it remained in the air
after the explosion. Flour dust, flour
middlings, ETC., when mixed with air,
thick enough to ignite from particle to
particle, and separated so that each
particle is surrounded by air, will unite
with the oxygen in the air, producing a
gas at high temperature, which requires
an additional space, hence the bursting.
There is no gas which comes from
flour Or middlingS that is an explosive;
it is the direct combination with the air
that produces gas, requiring additional
space. Powerful electric sparks from
the electric machine and from the Ley
den jar were passed through the air
filled with dust CT different kinds, but
without an explosion in any case. A
platinum wire kept at white heat by
galvanic battery would not produce an
explosion. The dust would collect upon
1t and char to black Goals, but would
not blaze or explode.
a piece of glowing charcoal, kept hot
by the bellows, would not produce an
when surrounded by dust,
but when famed into blaze the ex-
plosiOn followed. A common kerosene
lantern, when surrounded by dust of all
degrees of density, would not produce
an explosion. but when the dust was
blown into the bottom, through the
globe and out of the top,it would ignite.
To explode quickly the dust must
be dry. Evidently when an explosion
has been started in volume of dusty
lar, loose flour may be blown into the
lar and made a source Of danger.

A Scientific Opinion.

The London Lancet says the usual
course Ofpeople in a heated term is in
direct violation Of the laws of nature.
Precipitation is a moisture which nature
spreads over the surface of the human
body for much the same purpose as an
intelligent housewife sprinkles water
over her butter-cOoIer. But perspira-
ton is checked by sitting in draughts,
by wearing very little clothing, and by
adopting light colors for dress. The
remedy is taken for the disease, and
through impeding the processes of
nature, summer colds and other allied
evils are contracted. "The conditions
of health require that, within very mar
row limits, the temperature Of the hui
man body should be the same, whether
the thermometer stands at 90 deg. in
the shade or sinks to Il few degrees be-
low zero"

Quick Work.

Two years ago q farmer-miller and
his wife, at Carrolton, Mo-, furnished
some invited guests with bread baked
III eight and Il quarter minutes from
the time the wheat was standing in the
field. This year it was determined to
make still better time. Accordingly
elaborate preparations were made to
reap, thrash, grind, and bake the grain
with the least possible loss of time.
lii minute 10 seconds the wheat,
about peck, was cut and threshed, and
put on the back of a swift horse to be
carried to the mill, 16 rods away. In 3
minutes II seconds the flour was de-
livered to Mrs. Lawton, and in 3m. 55s.
from the starting of the reaper the first
griddle cake was done. In minutes
81 seconds from the starting of the
reaper, a pan of biscuits was delivered
to the assembled guests.
After that according to the Carrolton
Democrat, other pans of delicious one
minute" biscuits were baked more at
leisure and eagerly devOured, with the
usual accompaniment of boiled ham
and speech making.

The Madeira and Mamore Railroad.

The reports from laborers who left
Philadelphia to work on the new rail
road IN Brazil continue discouraging.
The following from the Philadelphia
Press shows the nature of the. discOm-
forts to which the men are subjected:
Letters from the men who left this
city to assist in the building of the
Madeira and Mamore Railroad, in
BAIL, picture the situation as any
thing but agreeable or inviting In
fact, some Of the representations are
gloomy indeed, and shows that the men
are very much dissatisfied. Mr.. Albert
L. Mills, who sailed several months
ago for the scene Corporations, returned
on Friday evening on board the schOOn-
er Jacob E. Ridgway. He states that,
IN his Judgment, the work OF building
the road was started in too much of a
hurry, for upon the arrival of the YES
sci at Brazil it was discovered that no
preparations had been made to receive
anybody. No arrangements had been
made for the transportation of prOvis-
ions, and nothing dOnefor the payment
ofthe men. The railroad is being built in,
sections under sub-cOntractors. who
have found it a losing undertaking. The
sections were divided into 100 feet
Sometimes the work required cutting
from twenty-five to fifty feet, and at
other places filings had to be made;
and although no rock was encountered
yet the hard sand was just like iron ore
and was difficult to cut. There was
also considerable expense in working
tho sections, on account of the difficulty
of supplying provisions. Mr.. Mills
states that the week before he left the
work, only about three miles of the
main line had been completed, and the
men generally appear to be dissatisfied
One night eleven Italians, who had
been taken along to work, started from
camp to walk home by the way of
Bolivia. In little over Il week they
returned, saying they could not get
through the country on account of the
natives. In reference to the discom-
forts of the men, Mr.. Mills said that,
on their arrival, they had no place to
sleep, and had to build rude huts.
which they hired the natives to cover
with palms. While the thermometer
did not reach more than 125 degrees in
the sun, yet the heat was very dry and
oppressive, and the men, who were
attacked by the breakbone fever, were
50 thoroughly depressed as not to be
good for anything. Altogether, five of
the men had died since the starting of
the Mercedita, one of the deaths occur
ring on the way up the Amazon. In q
Il letter from one Of the men, the
writer, in concluding, says: awe are
away from San Antonio, in a wild
country. Tigers prowl around our
camp every night. We have neither
sides nor ends to our shanties. This is
the dry season, and we have no rain,
but at night, or early in the morning
the dew falls so heavy that one would
think it was raining"

In a recent article in the Nineteenth
Century, by Mr.. ]. Norman Lockyer,
the writer very strongly objects to DR..
Diapers discovery of oxygen in the sun.
Mr.. Lockyer says he has gone carefully
over the whole ground and finds: First,
that the photograph on which DIR.
Draper bases the discovery is not one
competent to settle such an important
question; second, that he does not find
the condolences between bright solar
lines and oxygen lines in the part of the
spectrum with which he is most famil-
lar; and, third, that comparing DIR.
Diapers photograph with the fine pho
tograph of the spectrum obtained by
Mr.. Rutherford, he ''fails to find any
true bright line in the sun whatever
coincident with any line of oxygen
whatever" Mr.. Lockyer sums up the
evidence as to the suns composition in
these words: $50 far as our uncontest-
ed knowledge goes, the sun is chiefly
made of metal, and on this account is
strangely different from the crust of
our earth, in which the metals are in
large minority.

ElOped With His Wife's Daughter.
'hnstown. Pa, Tribune.


Eleven years ago Christian Goldner,
alias John Goldner, was a growing youth
of Verona, Allegheny county. Pa. He
married widow who had daughter
13 years ofage at the time of her second
marriage, to whom Christian, alias
John, was particularly kind; and it
pleased the kind mother to know that
the tendrils of her husbands affections
were twined SO lovingly about the heart
of her daughter. Thus they lived for
five years, or until the daughter budded
into womanhood, and then, when Mrs
Goldner awOke one morning, she missed
her husband and daughter. Recently
she learned that there was one John
Goldner living near Johnstown, and on
Wednesday the man was arrested. He
proved to be the recreant husband,
and, after a hearing given him before
Squire Cox of Johnstown, the man was
committed to jail at Ebensburg for trial,
at court. Mrs. Goldner No. l is several
years older than her husband.

noted for their selfreliance as Boston
