HERAcLINE, THE New EXPLOSIVE.
The Russian Journal Of Artslle,y states
that an AUSTRIAN manufacturer has re-
Gently arrived at St. Petersburg, and
has offered to sell to the Russian
Government the secret Of the fabrica.
ton Of q new explosive. This SUBJ
stance, which is called "Heracline, is,
the inventor asserts, far superior to
either ordinary gunpowder or dynam-
ilte for blasting and mining purposes,
and, when prepared in special man
ner, may also be employed as burst
ing charge for shells. Used as a
charge for mines, the new explosive is
said to act with much greater ener-
gy and produce much greater effect
than the same quantity of powder, and
as both its density and cost of manufac-
ture are considerably less, saving of
from 40 to As per cent. will be effected
by employing it. 1t is also the least
dangerous of any explosive, as it can
not be exploded either by blow or
friction, but only by bringing fame
into contact with it in closed vessel.
1t may, therefore, be ignited either by
electricity or by Bickford's fuse; but
the decorating fuse required to ex-
plode dynamite with is not wanted.
Compared with this latter substance
heracllne can be prepared at one-third
the cost, and the effect produced by
equal quantities of the compounds is
said to be very nearly the same. The
actual cost of preparing the heraclne
in Austria, where the inventor has
already manufactured and patented it,
IS given at 80 forms per 100 pounds,
and the patentce now offers to make
sufficient quantity for the Russian
Government to carry ont a series Of
experiments finding the necessary
substances himself, if the Russian au-
horities will place one of it's powder
Mills at his disposal. For the present
he proposal has been declined, but
80 kilogrammes of the explosive
ave been ordered to enble Russian
Engineers to make experiments with
t III mining operations and also as
barge to follow projectiIes.

Il Brief Statement of the Condition of
1fairs IN Ninnenpolis.
The public is to be congratulated on the re-
duction of $1.0O per thousand made by the
lumbermen Of Minneapolis. In conversation
with well posted lumberman yesterday the
GLOBE representative learned that there was in
the city at this time only 10000, 600 feet of
available lumber to supply the entire demand,
both local and foreign This is
considerably below the supply at this season
last year, and for several years previously,
while the demand everywhere is far in excess
of anything that has been known in the history
of Minnesota for at any rate. five years. The
same gentleman stated that the present
average rate of shipments, one
week with another, not less
than 100000 per week, at which figure
the entire present supply would be exhausted
inside of three months, and leave a tremen-
dous pressure upon the mills to keep pace
with the customarily large demands of tie
autumn.
From the most reliable sources it is stated
that Chicago, with supply of 100000, 600, is
only selling $4,000. 900 per week. In view of
these facts, it seems to the GLOBE that the
reduction of one dollar per thousand
is very considerable concession, and should
rebound to the credit of the numbering interest
in Minneapolis.
At any rate, the GLOBE would advise builders
not to postpone operations hoping for further
decrease in lum Der. for it is much more prob
able that there will be increase before a

$50 men in the Wood-Pitt colliery, 18 being in
the Ravenshead, and the remainder in the
Florida mine. The men in the Ravenshead
were got out. One died at once and the others
were much affected by the after damp. The
two mines are connected by tunnel, and it
was in the working of the Florida mine beyond
the tunnel the explosion occurred. It is the
general opinion that every man in that part Of
the mine is dead. Explorers found

doctors. A portion of one of bis fin
gers had been amputated, and he de-
clared that five physicians had exam

been injured by poisonous splinter,
and decided that his arm would have
to como off. "Cut my arm off" he
exclaimed II told them that they
would all be in their graves before
that was done; and after taking my
