An Ingenious Tramp Outwitted.

A Western newspaper draws on its imagi-
nation for the following story:
An ingenious tramp, thinking to wiring
tears and money assistance from the stoniest
hearts with new science, gave it an expert
mental trial in the North End. He has de-
cided not to patent the invention. He told
North End lady of his unfortunate con-
dition, and asked if he might eat some OF
the grass in the yard. The lady, not less
amused than surprised, said:
Certainly"
He went out, and, getting down on all
fours, commenced on the grass after the neg
lected and never popular fashion of Ne
buchadnezzar, and apparently not enjoying
the diet any more than that ancient sinner
of olden times. Presently the anxious eye
caught sight of the servant girl beckoning
to him from the back yard. He thought a
rich reward for his humility was in store,
and Instantly responded.
did you motion to me?" said he.
"Yes."
'What did you want?" He now wore a
look of most hopeful expectancy.
''You may 60 in the back yard If you
want to. The grass is taller"

GSamuel Wilkerson, in New York Sun.
There is bill before Congress to make the
Yellowstone Park a military reservation, un-
der the care and government of the engineer
corps of the army, with at least one company
of infantry and one company OF cavalry at
tached to the command as police force All
Americans who love the beautiful and Won
derful in nature, and take any pride IN the
supremacy of the attractions of the Yellow
stone Geyser Basin over any and everything
of the kind in the world, had better use
their influence with their Representatives In
Congress to have this bill made law, and
made excessively stringent. Very summary
law will be required to save this matchlessly
wonderful property, and it will be required
speedily, for the Northern Pacific Railway
Company will run passenger trains earl y this
summer beyond the trail to the Park, and
within sixty miles of it, and thousands OF
tourists will soon go to the geysers where
hundreds heretofore went. If the new
comers shall be in numbers proportionallY
as brutal and destructive as were their pre-
decessors, the Park, as the ward of the In
terror Department, is done for. Moreover
there are influences strongly at work in the
civil superintendency of the property which
threaten to hand it over wholly to personal
speculation and all the disgusting sequences
of such perversion of the intention of Con-
press to create for the nation the most at
tractive pleasure ground on the face OF the

Explosions in Flour Mills.
tLondon Times.

London Times.
A Parliamentary paper just issued con-
tains q report by Mr.. Thomas j. Richards
of the Consultative Branch, Board of Trade,
to the Home Secretary, respecting an explo-
sion which took place on September 14th,
at the corn-mill of Messrs. Fitton Il Son, at
Macclesfeld. The effects were of a very dan
gerous character, a large part OF the mill at
the north end being leveled with the ground,
and the roof over much larger area destroy
ed, and the engne-man being killed by the
fall of a part of the building The damage
to the mill was estimated at between $4,000
and $4,000. 1t appears that some mlllstones
had been running empty at the time OF the
explosion, that a flame was produced between
the mifistones, which was sufficient to ignate
the fiour-dust diffused in the milestone cases,
and which being transmitted along the pas
sages to the stive-room by the continued ig-
nitiop of dust, would cause an explosion OF
! the four-dust in the stive-room.
| Mr.. Richards has been making general in
| uuiries into the question Of fire and explo-
sions in corn mills He says that the ele-
ments of danger exist in all corn mills more
or less, and Notwithstanding the compara-
! tive rareness with which disasters OF magni-
tude occur, they are very liable to take place.
| Ignitions of flourdust are apt to cause slight
explosions which, jarring greater bodies OF
dust into cloud, are liable to ignite and
cause serious explosion or general firing
of the mill. Whether the effects of the ig-
milton of the dust are serious or slight de-
pends upon the condition existing at the
time "A large number of fires occur in
corn mills, the origin of which is unknown.
Mr. Chatterton, the Secretary OF the Mlllers'
Mutual Life Insurance Company, informs me
tbo+ ba r. os raoor1S of S4 SariOuS fires which
have occurred in corn mills since 1876, the
origin of 56 being unknown. A majority Of
those connected with the milling business
are probably unaware of the danger which
may exist in consequence Of the presence of
q building devoted to the useful and to all
appearance, harmless occupation Ofthe cleans
ing and grinding of corn and the dressing OF
-four
THAT insurance companies are alive to the
extra risks incurred in corn milling is shown
by the high rate of insurance charged for
corn mills, which I am informed is about IL
to 20 shillings per cent" Mr.. Richard adds:
"a subject of interest allied to that which
has been considered, is that of the risks IN
volved in the cleaning and grinding of rice.
The experiments have made on rice stive-
dust and ground rice convinces one OF the
facility with which they, and particularly
the former will explode when difused in
air. That the risk involved in rice-cleaning
and milling are greater even than IN corn
milling is evidently indicated by the high
rates of premium charged by insurance
companies, and that some companies will
not accept them at any rate. am informed
that the rate of insurance for rice mills IN
London is e6 Is per cent. 1t is, however,
stated to be much less in the country.
