The great s'blast' for which pre-
parations have been making since
February I6, in the Glend0n Fur
nance limestone quarries, was fired
Thursday evening at $50 O'Clock.
The ouarries are situated one mile
above Easton on the Lehigh river,
and from them all the limestone used
in the large furnace is obtained. The
idea of making SO large a blast was
to loosen enough stone to supply the
demand for a long time without fur
ther need of blasting. Crowds OF
people swarmed the surrounding hills
and points of observation, to wit
ness the explosion A flash Of light,
muified sound and the event was
over, successfully and without &C
cident. The manner of working the
drilling and blasting is interesting.
A gangway of 240 feet was cut into
the rock from the western side OF the
hill. Four drifts were cut off on the
south of this gangway and at the end
of each was sunk shaft varying in
depth from eighteen to twenty-fO
feet. At the bottom of each shaft,
in a cube five feet three inches each
way, was placed powder box, meas
uring four feet eight inches. In shaft
Nc. / was placed $500 pounds of
powder; in No. 2, 300 pounds; in
| No. 3, 5000 pounds. and in No. 4,
$500 pounds. This total of IL, 900
pounds of powder was placed in the
powder boxes in four hours time by
sixty men. who passed it along, key
by keg, to the top of the shaft; then
| it was run into the boxes through
tunnels and pipes. This work was
done in total darkness, rs it was
deemed unsafe to use lights. The
powder was then tightly tamped;
and six thousand kegs Of sand were
placed upou it. The stone was placed
upon the sand and the drifts block
AIDED. In the center Of each boz
was placed an exploder, consisting
of Illuminated mercury with th'
t platinum wire. one thousandth OF al

TO the platinum wires were attached
, wires running to twenty-si Gel

The Public Arena.

The statesman has not the same
advantage as the skiiifui rider in the
circus. The rider can refuse the
hoop when it is offered to him, II ms
own nerves are not prepared, and
the pace of his horse is not exactly
suitable for the dexterous leap: he
knows that he can go round ana
round the ring as often as he llkes'
and that be will eventually perform
some feat (perIlaps leap saccesslvei;y
through three hoops) which VIII
charm all the beholders.
But the statesman knows that his
career is very limited; that he mas
not the command of his arena; ano
that he must leap through his hoop
Whenever it is offered to him.

mot If il Was MY Boy"
detroit Free-P Press

Some wears ago the late Horace
Mann, the eminent educator, de-
livered an address at the opening OF
some reformatory institution for
bows, during which he remarked that
If only one boy was saved from ruin
il would paw for all the cost, and
care, and labor of establishing such
an institution as that. After the ex-
ercises had closed, in private con-
yersation, gentleman rallied Mr..
Mann on his statement, and said to
him:
"Did you not color that little,
when YOU said that all that expense
and labor would be repaid if 1t only
saved one boy 7" -
mot If it was nay boy" was the
solemn and convincing reply.
Alb. there is wonderful value about
"Mv Boy.n Other boys may be rude
and rough; other boys may be reck-
ID 81 and wild; other hOys may seem
to require more pains and labor than
they will ever repay; other boys may
be left to drift uncared for to the
ruin which is so near at hand; but
"My Boy"-it were worth the toll of
a lifetime and the lavish wealth of a
world to save him from temporal
and eternal ruin. We would 60 the
world around to save him from peril,
and would bless every hand that was
stretched ont to give him help or
welcome. And yet every poor, wan
dering outcast, homeless man, is one
whom some fond mother called my
Boy Every lost woman, sunken
j in the depths of sin, was somebody's
daughter, in her days of childish in
nocence. To-day somebody's son is
hungry outcast, pressed to the
verge of crime and sin. To-day
somebody's daughter is a weary,
helpless wauderer, driven by necessi-
ty into. the p this that lead to death.
Shall we shrink from labor, shall we
hesitate at cost, when the work be-
, fore is the salvation of a soul! Not
if it is "My Boy" not r. weilavc the

prephets of Baal, and they said,

so next morning all the children
Of Israel and their parents, and the
other people, gathered themselves
together. Well, here was that great
crowd of prophets of Baal packed
together on one side, and Isaac,
walking up and down all alone, on
the other, putting up his job. When
