Singular ana Serious Accident

While opening bottle of soda water some time ago, William J. Pitt, an active fireman of Middletown, foreman of Douglass Hose company, was struck by the cork in the eye, the missile striking the pupil. At that time the injury was not thought to be serious, but the eye has gradually grown weaker and at last he was obliged to give up his work, as he could only see enough to get around, with no hopes of recovery and a probability that he will soon be hopelessly blind in both eyes

An Aqueous Explosion.

On Tuesday last an eight-foot Pelton
water-wheel was started at the Idaho
mine to drive the pumps. The wheel
was found to work admirably, and ev-
erything went along smoothly until 1880
clock Saturday night, when suddenly
the wheel burst into fragments, the
pieces flying in different directions. but
fortunately doing no other damage than
tearing away woodwork and making
holes through the sides and roof of the
hosting works. One piece pursued a
very. cratic course, going outside
the building and returning, fell
within eighteen inches of one of the
workmen who stood near the top of the
shaft. The engineer in charge had
been to the wheel u few minutes before
the accident to oil its journals, and had
not much more than returned to his
station when the fearfully sweeping
crash came. The wheel was making
2S5revolutions per minute, being driven
by sixty inches of water under $40 feet
pressure, and of course when the break
came the pieces flew us if shot out of a
cannon, and as the wheel was COM
plete wreck it seemed almost miracu-
lous that there was no loss of life and no
greater damage to property, 1t was at
first supposed that there was some flaw
in the iron, but Supt. Colemans theory
is that the rim of the wheel (three-
quarters of an inch in thickness) was
too light for the pressure and velocity
under which it was running. 0 1t will be
necessary in future to make the large
sizes of these wheels stronger. The in
terruption of pumping at the works was
not OF long duration on account of this
smash-up, as change of connection was
soon made to the big engine, and long
before daylight steam power was doing
duty instead OF wafer Grass ValLe9

Brought to the Verge Of Suicide.

John Gunner attempted suicide. He is
"a lumberman, and for long time has
been tOrmented by avicious odor, which
followed him everywhere, and caused
him to grow moody, and resulted in the
alienation of his family. He took up
quarters in an old hovel and rarely
spoke to any one. His hair had grown
gray from continually brooding over
this troubles. and from $50 pounds he
had fallen to 1913 pounds. About eight
% clock he entered the woods with the
intention of hanging himself, and after
ithrowing of his coat, he said his
prayers and went to q pine tree short
distance away and began to make
preparations for his own destruction.
After few moments he found the
asmcli had ceased. He could scarcely
believe his senses, and on his going

who soon set his leg and plastered his

weeks, and during that time he learned
several lessons in gentleness. His

soothed his pain. His fathers hand
rested so lightly upon him that it never
hurt him. And his brothers and sisters
sorry for his suffering, set him bean
titul example. He had time to think
and he thought to some purpose; for
when he again grew well and strong
there was a great change manifested in
him. He had been taught how to use

How a Silk-WOrm May Be Made TO
Weave.

Most OF the many boys and girls who
already own or who intend to own silk
worms will be glad to know of a way bv
which its silk-spinning powers may be
made to produce immediate results and
the silk-worm will itself save you the
time OF its own house-building and spare
you the trouble of reeling and weaviyg
1t can, in fact, be made to produce fGs
you, under your own supervision,
piece of beautiful golden silk. Nor is
this all; it will even shape the silk and
fasten it to fan, tambourine, or to
any other similar frame; provided. of
course, that the silk-yielding capacity
OF the worm be not overtaXed.
The method of accomplishing this re-
suit is very simple one, though, like
many other simple things, it is not COM
monty known. Very MANY Chinese
ladies, however, know it, and make use
of it to divert the weary hours they
usually spend in idleness.
When the worm is full-grown, and has
filled its reservoir with the silk-making
material, it is ready to build its house
or cocoon. This you must not permit
it to do. 1t must instead be placed on
common japanese fan, of the battle
dore or lawn-tennis bat shape.
Nature tells the worm that it must
spin-spin cocoon if possible, but spin
anyhow. If permitted to have its own
way, it will build on the flat surface of
the fan; but if prevented, it will wan
der from side to side of the little plat
form, spinning all the while its won
derful Silken thread, fastening it at the
edges, and in the end covering the whole
surface with closely woven golden
web almost as tough as parchment
In relating this fact, however, we
must, at the same time, impress upon
the young silk-culturist that, if he tries
this experiment, it had better be with
only two or three worms, and that it
would be wrong and cruel to divert
many of the little creatures from their
proper work of cocoon making for the
sake of the ornamental fan-covers they
might be made to supply. Though the
result is, of course, interesting, it is
decidedly not for this purpose that you
are supposed to keep silk-worms. r.
