The explosions occur only quarterly,

Betting from Sheep L trails.

A California paper tells OF new ln-
dustry lately started at OAkland, in that
Sat-, sor the production of betting
from the entrails OF sheep. The process
Of manufacture is MS follows: The en-
trails, which will average about fifty
five feet in length, are first thoroughly
cleared and then placed in vat OF
brine, where they should remain for
some days. When thus prepared they
are not much thicker than piece OF
common cotton tSine, and will sustain
q weight of about ten pounds. The
next stage in progress OF manufacture
is to wind the prepared material on
bobbins, after which the process IS
he same rs in making common rope.
This method is used to produce q
round belt, but where o wide, flat belt
is to be made, loom is employed, and
the fine strands are woven together, as
in ribbon manufacture. The fiat belts
arc made any size, aud the round sizes
yarviug from one.sixteenth Of an inch
and q half in diameter. The round
belts arc r?ade either in the form OF
smooth cord, or as ropes with from
three to five large stands. The three
quarter inch rope is said to stand
strain OF seven tons, and is guaranteed
to last ten years. Hemp rope will las
on an average not over three years
Three eigliths round cord, containing
$50 strands, will endure strain o
over four tons.

A YaIentiA.

All, dear the fond conceit that now,
While bitter chills delay the blood,
While the ice sheathes the next years bud,
While earth is frozen stiff and dead, =
And tho heavens show frowning brow,
The flower Of love uplifts it's head,
And blossoms with its white and red;
Blossoms upon damask cheek,
In warmth and fragrance spicy sweet,
Where some one stays, with lingering feet,
To read the burden of my line
To read the words dare rot speak
Then lifts dewy lip to mine,
And takes me for her valentine.

Dreadful Fall from a Balloon.

A girl had terrible fall from a bal
loon ct Cuantla, Mexico, recently. The
aeronaut was Senorita Catalina Con-
CARA, pretty miss of seventeen years,
whose feats OF daring had made her
known throughout Mexico. Placards
announcing that she would mako an
ascent from the Cuantla plaza on Satur-
day drew great crowd from the sur
rounding villages. The senorita was
punctual and at 2 o'clock in the a!tar-
noon of thai day shot upward in the
midst of braves and the waving of hand
kerchiees. The balloon was inflated
with hot air and the only support for
the aeronaut was trapeze, upon which
she performed as she sailed skyward
directly over the heads Of the multi
tude. Cheer upon cheer came from the
spectators as the senorita went through
her usual feats upon the trapeze until
the distance became 80 great that she
looked like bird. The balloon had
reached an elevation of about three.
quarters Of a mile, when a sharp cry
rang through the plaza and hundreds
covered their eyes with their hands.
The air-bag had collapsed and the girl
was falling as swiftly as q meteor
