GIANT POWDER EXPLOSION.
spokane Falls tho Scene OF Another Hor-
rifying Disaster.

rifying Disaster.
Time only heightens the horrors
wrought by the premature explosion Of
blast in the Northern Pacific freight
yards at Spokane Falls, Wash, Satur-
day night. At II p. m. the men en-
gagged in the sad task of taking out the
mangled victims were forced to desist,
because among the rocks which were
being cleared away we're five other
blasts that might be exploded in
the task of removing the mass of
debris that buried the victims. Up to
that hour eighteen bodies had been
taken out There are yet twenty-seven
men unaccounted for, all Of whom are
probably buried beneath the mighty
mass OF rock. The fatality was terrible.
The men were given no chance for life.
1t was either instant death or slight in
jury. There were about 200 pounds Of
giant powder in the blast. The accident
was caused by some ones carelessness.
The man in charge OF the blast and
three assistants were blown to atoms.
1t is the custom to prepare
blasts and charge them, and at the
hours of IL, noon, and o'clock, after
the Aien have left work and gone to
place OF safety, to shoot them. In this
case, however, it seems that one blast
had been prepared and the foreman, G.
MCPHERSON, was preparing second.
The men had all finished their work and
were putting on their coats and picking
up their lunch pals ready to go to their
homes after their days work, when they
met horrible and unexpected
death. Either the rock was too
hot from the action of the
drills or else tamping exploded the
second blast, and thatexploded the first.
man who was tamping paid the penal
ty with his life. A man who stood be-
side the one who was tamping escaped
with slight bruises although 10000 GU
bic feet of rock were hurled for hun
dreds OF feet in every direction. Anoth-
er man who was near the deadly blast
and was supposed to be dead was seen
shortly after the explosion in a half
crazed condition walking around with his
clothing torn to shreds. The men
were working in a cut leveling off the
ground for the new freight yards. The
cliff of rock on the side of the cut
which was being removed was twenty
feet high. The blasts are so arranged
that the rock is thrown toward the cliff.
Not anticipating the blast, about thirty
men were under the cliff when the blast
exploded. A great mass of rock and
earth raised in the air and pitched over
in the cut, burying the men beneath its
awful weight. None of them had time
to run, but few escaped in miraculous
manner Over 100 men were at work in
the adjoining cuts, and at once were on
the scene of the terrible accident, and
began with pick and shovel to hunt for
the buried bodies.

We followed him through the depot
and out into the yards, and there on a
platform was something covered with
a tarpaulin. He raised this. and we
saw the crushed and mangied remains

Making Paper from Cotton.

The increasing demand for paper for
printing and writi1g has induced in
vestigatiou and experiments, with a
view to utilize as many different 6bres
as possible in lhe manufacture. The
latest suggestion on this line is to use
the short lint taken from cotton seed
by re.ginning. The fibre of this short
lint is unfit for gen. raj use in fabrics,
and has heretofore been rade into bat
ting. It is claimed, however, that it
can be utilized in making paper of a
good quality. On this point the Bos'
ton Journal of Commerce says:
"There is Western company, be-
lieved to he more or less controlled by
those connected with the cotton seed
oil trust, which has been conducting a
plant for the last two years for taking
cotton seed hulls and separating from
them the short lint that clings to them
after the ginning process. The clean
hulls are converted into q meal, while
the lint is sold to paper mills. The
sale of the lint has become an import
ant and growing branch Of the busi-
ness. The machinery for obtaining
these products is very complex and is
tbe result of much expense and patient
experimenting. We have, for the in
spection OF any one who may be inter-
ested in this matter, samples Of the
crude lint as it is delivered to paper
mills, aud Of the lint after it has been
bleached at the mill, also of two or
three grades of paper made from it.
The texture of the paper, or one grade
of it used for correspondence purposes,
we have hal tested and find that it
compares very iavorably with many
American makes of so-called linen
paper. 1t is about half the average
strength of genuine linen paper. That
is to say the breaking strain is thirty
pounds to the square inch u
The Journal is mistaken in the idea
that the reginning Of the cotton is
something new. This has been going
on for some time. The use of the pro
duct in paper making is Of recent in
PRODUCTION.
The Atlanta Constitution pertineatiy
asks why the cotton oil mills in the
cotton belt may not combine in mill
to manufacture al their short lint into
paper. Why not?

TRICKS OF a TRGPPER.
In Which lie Was Very Ably Assisted by
His Mule

There were thirty OF us III camp on
a spur of the Black Hills mining 11r
cold. saws 4 writer il me y. i Ss,".
when one afternoon we looked do"ii
upon the level plain and saw tour
mounted redskins chasing 4 white
man on u mule He was making for
us, but they were rapidly overha1!laS
him, and it was plain enough that we
could render no assistance. The tore,
most Indian fired shot, and man and
mule fell in 4 heap. The Indians
pressed forward, yelling and exulting
but the faint reports Of a revolver
reached our ears. and we saw redskins
and ponies tumbling over 1t every re-
port. Some of our men slid down the
Steep mountainside to take hand in,
but it was not needed. When they
reached the man he sat on the ground
laughing as if he would split.
TO Think he shouted. Us soon as
he could control his voice. that these
ere Sioux, who are rated sharp rs
razors, could be fooled by that old
trick-ha! ha. hat And he laughed
until he had to wipe away the tears.
On the ground near by were three
dead Indians and another about to Gle.
while two OF the ponies were dead and
the other two badly wounded. 1t had
all been done with al old-fashioned
Colts revolver, loaded with powder
and ball and carrying 4 percussion cap,
but the work had been rapid and sure,
The Indians had closed in on him, sup
posing him to be dead or badly wound
ed, while neither man nor mule had
been touched. After a bit the man,
who was an old trapper,. went over to
the wounded warrior and said to hl'n
in the Sioux dialect, and chuckllng be-
tween the words:
Say, did any of You fcllers ever see
a white man before?'
MANY of them," gasped the war
rior. :,
Didn't YOU ever hear of that old
trick before?"
isn't the white man wounded?
Not by dozen, Nancy Jane. That
bullet didn't come within Il rod Of me.
I gave my old mule the signal to squat
and down we tumbled to draw You on.
The other three are dead, and you are
| about to 60. Say, l don't want to hurt

he closed his eyes and died without

Girls In the Schools.

"The girl would make better
student in our public schools and
colleges" said one of the prominent
educators of the city recently, If she
had the same incentive, the same mo-
tive, that the young man has. The
young man who goes to the public
schools and colleges feels that he is to be
breadwinner. He has this for . clear
purpose in getting an education. But
it is not so with the girl. With her
motive is everything, and not having
the motive she does not study to her
full capacity. She looks to getting
married some day, and having some
one else provide the bread for her.
"Of course, this is generally speak
ing. We hear good deal about wo-
mans power of application as COM
pared with mans, but my experience
has been that il a girl knows what she
is after, if she has distinct purpose, in
nine cases out of ten she will display
steadfastness of aim that is quite equal
to that of any boy.
'.A1uch has been said about the ca
pacity of the female intellect for
mathematics, but I can say that the
girl excels in pure mathematics. Girls
are exceedingly fond Of history and lit
erature and Invariably stand high in
those studies.
The best students are Hebrews
that is they carry of the houors. But
this is not always 4 fair test OF intel
lectual capacity. The scholarship Of =
student is determined quite as much by
her home influence, by her surround
ings and associations, as by her text
books or instructors. AS :. rule the
wealthy Hebrews avail themselves Of
the advantages of the public schools
and colleges for their children. while,
generally speaking, the children of
Christian parents in similar financial
circumstances go 10 private institUr
tions. This makes it particularly dif-
ticult to institute race comparisons IL
the public schools.
The colored girl has great imita-
tive powers. She does not cvince or
dinarily high degree of intellectual
ity, but in all subjects in which the
initiative faculty plays 4 part in pro-
gress she usually does exceedingly well.
She is especially quick at drawing and
penmanship, and the like. But when
it comes to such subjects as require the
higher faculties of reason OF Judgment
she is frequently below the average.
The artistic--that is, the naturally
is The girl OF Celtic
race. But the girl of Anglo-Saxor de-
scent is the one who generally displays
the. .best-developed 'all-round Intellect

Several years ago the legislature of

declare that the city is honey-combed
with: variety of blins institutions.

earnestly desire its suppression, yet
neither feeling is strong enough to in

the law very rarely moves except
where individuals put it in motion.
