Gas ErnIosIons on steamships.

With the object of reducing the danger Of
explosions Of gas in the bunkers of her mai
estys ships the admiralty have issued new
rules for the government Of tho steam re-
serves. According to these, directly after the
coaling Of a ship is finished, the engineer
officer is to see that the coal shutes arc quite
clear Of coal. Coal should not be taken on
board wet, as moisture sometimes causes a
rapid and dangerous generation Of heat and
gas. While the decks are being washed after
coaling, the close bunker covers are TO be re-
placed to prevent water passing into the
bunlsers, and the coal should always be kept
as dry as possible The ventilating pipes to
bunkcrs, when so fitted, should be kept clear
No light, except in a safety lamp, is to DO
used inside the coal bunkers until it has been
ascertained that they do not contain ex-
plosive gas; and special precautions in this
respect are to be taken for few days after
cooling Where coal bunkers are not pro
vided with permanent ventilating fittings,
tho lids are to be taken Off twice a week, and
kept of at least ten hours during the week.
Every precaution is to be taken to ventilate
such bunkers before men are sent to work in
them. In order to render the ventilation
efficient there mus be at least two openings
One for tho admission Of pure air, and the
other for theSscape Of foul air-and, where
the two permanent ventilating fittings do not
include both, the bunker lids are to be taken
or periodically. -London Times.

A town without q theatre is
dull town and the people, dull people

benefits that have accrued from travel

scarcely any town of any size in the
United States that has not either its
theatre or public hall that can be used
for the purpose But all travelling com
panies arc birds of passage, and it is only
when country merchants and others visit
the larger cities like Baltimore, that they
can find choice of theatres and a choice

tute the attraction of our great CONNER
cial centres. and draw people to them
who would either not come at all or
would pass through without stopping.

even New York, merely by its resident
population. Strangers there. as in Balti-

Here is a method which an ingenious

ment for the brainless individual who points
a pistol at q relative. and after he has shot
him dead says lie "didn't know it was

murder be placed erect with his back to a

shape. Let him then be told that all those
revolyers are empty but one, which is loaded
with ball, and let an executioner then appear
and pick out twenty Of the revolvers one
after another and snap them at the ignorant
mans head. If the loaded pistol happens to
be among the score picked out, and tho
offender is shot dead, well and good; he can

Cb,c,go Grain and Produce.

CHICAGO March 21-When the board
opened for business there was every indi-
cation that concerted raids would be maize
in nearly all of the speculative articles.
The crowd was very nervous on account OF
the large receipts which are expected
during the next fifteen or twenty days and
the unusually good inspection. An addl-
tional cause of uneasiness was large
number of limited selling orders which
came in over night. May corn opened at
505LM50hc against last nights close at
5Ol5c bid In the first ten minutes 1t sold
off to soc straight. The excitement in the
corn pit was tremendous throughout the
session, and an immense quantity of long
corn came out during the day. Selling
started in as soon rs the board opened with
a big flood of stop orders which were held
by receiving and other firms and May was
crowded down to 42Rc during the first
hour Then followed a slight rally to
4934c, but persistent pounding by a
prominent operator soon pounded it down
10 1890. Again a reaction to 1910 oc-
Cured, followed by another break, May
touching 1870 and finally closing at 4954c.
There was also wild excitement in
wheat. Everybody, both big and little,
had ali they could do and most of them
were selling. There was sale of 100000
bushels of wheat in a lump by an operator
early in the session, which was followed by
the execution of a large number of stop
orders which broke prices wide open. May
opened at TIC, improved TO 773sc and
dropped to 77@771sc during the first hour,
Wheat continued going down until May
~, II IN,
771Ic and closed at ~ c.
Oats shared in the weakness Of the other
grains There was some realizing on
futures and May sold off from 30&5 TO 3O1sc.
There was great deal of noise made in
the provision pit but there were no very
heavy individual transactions. The greater
part of the stuff marketed came from the
longs. Shippers had fair orders for small
lots and their purchases created the i'm
preston that the consuming public are
beginning TO stock up. Prices Of hogs
were 5d10c higher, but the decentralization
in grain overshadowed all other influences
and induced free offerings. Pork received
the most attention and was sold with in
creased freedom by bears and tired longs.
May opened a shade firmer at SAL but
started downward and after S13.S5 was
touched, stop order holdings came out
with such freedom that a drop to sl3.7219
was recorded. There were few sales, how
ever, below $3.50. Shorts came in on the
decline and covered good sized lines and a
rally to sl3.95 was secured, the closing
figures being sl3.92j5. Lard remained
comparatively steady at S.50@T55 for
May and closed at s7.5219.
The leading futures were as follows.
