DYNAMITE OUTDONE.
Big Things Claimed for DR.. EN-
mems New Explosive.


New York, Jan. 9.--There is another
explosive on the market. 1t is termed
Emmcnsite, being the invention of DIR.
Emmens, of this country. AT recent
test dynamite cartridge placed on a
post some distance off was fired at with
a rifle ball and exploded. A cartridge
filled with Emmensite, similarly placed
and struck would not explode, nor would
1t while being driven into wet, sloppy
mud by heavy blows of crow-bar.
An electric spark being applied, how
ever, caused the cartridge to explode
with terrible effect, tearing up the
earth for quite distance around.
In all comparative tests between
dynamite and Emmensite the latter APP
pears to have been beyond question tho
more powerful. A stock company has been
formed for the control of the new eXplo-
sive, having a capital of S3,O0O,OO0. The
War department it is learned, has appro-
priated SIS, 900 of its funds for the carry
ing on of a series of tests with this ex-
plosive to determine if it can be used to
advantage in ordinance rifles. 1t is
claimed for the explosive that it can be
hammered and handled with impunity,
and that it is proof against fire. 1t is
also said to be free from the nauseous
gases which accompany the explo-
sion of most nitrates now being
produced. One form of Emmen-
site is smokeless powder
termed gelbite. 1t is this gelbite that
will command the attention of the ordin-
ance experts more especially. For a
regulation Springfield rife using seven
ty grains of powder, twenty-five grains
of gelbite are said to give an even bet
ter result than the powder. 1t is learn
ed that the new explosive has been Sc
lected for use in the Sims-Edison torpe-
does, and that mining interests in the
West have in view experimenting with
it in coal mines. The United States

DEATH IN THE CAIss0N.
Theories as to the Cause Of the Tor
rible Accident.
Total Number of victims Fiftccn--Work oil
Recovering the Bodics'

I,oI1IsyIIJ,E. Jan. II AT 1920 o'clock
Yesterday morning the bodies of three
Of the unfortunate victims of tho cals-
son accident were reached by the work.
men. The positions in which th6s were
found showed that desperate struggle
had taken place at the narrow door
Of escape. One negro had succeed
ed in pulling his body through
the aperture, but death had overtaken
him lust when life was promised. An
other negro had crawled partly through.
His hands were fastened by death
in the clothing of the negro in front OF
him. showing that he had died in des-
perate endeavor to escape first. Be
tween the two negroes was the body of
a white man. 1t appeared from ms po-
sition that he was trying to push BACK
some one who was clinging to his legs.
The sand accumulating at the door by
the sudden sinking of the caisson, had
wedred in the body of the white man in
such manner that it could not be
removed. A further investigation
shows one more man to have lost
his life - Hamilton Morris - max
ing total of fifteen. The most plausi-
BILE theory as to the cause of the acci-
dent is thus given by one of the survi-
yors, Louis Crouch. and his story re-
ceives not little credence from tho
superintendent of the work: Knox, the
foreman, had been seen near the key
which controls the air supply and 1T is
believed that he cut off the air more
than he really intended to, causing
the caisson to sink into the sand.
Should the remains of the first white man
found prove to be Knox, the theory
is strengthened, as the key which con
trolls the air is only a short distance
from the lower or last trap, and Knox
was the only white man near 1T. Joe
Fahringer. who was in the pumping
boat, says he ran to the mouth OF the
escape pipe as soon as he heard the rush
of air, and met Abe Taylor and others
as they came out. and they all tried t'
close the lower doors of the air-lock'
and save the others, but found it i'm

DROWNED IN A CAISSCN.

Awful Accident mt the Louisville anu oe'-
fcrsonviIle Bridgc-Fourtccu Workmsn
Perish In the Water.
LOUISVILLE, Ky, Jan. 10.-Fourtcen
workmen are dead in caisson at the
bottom of the Ohio river, near the toot
of CLAW street, off Tow-head Island, at
the east end of Louisville, caught like
rats in a trap and drowned twenty-five
feet beneath the surface of the water.
The scene of the tragic accident Is THO
fifth pier of the Louisville and Jeifer-
sonville bridge, which is about 200 yards
from the Kentucky shore. Men have
been employed in sinking the caisson
for several weeks past, and the work
progressed without accident until yes
terday afternoon. Abe Taylor, one
of the survivors, tells the following
story of the accident-the horrible light
for life of the panic stricken workmen
imprisonmed in the air chamber
beneath the bed of the river. The men
were all at work in the soft bottom of
the river. They made such rapid pro-
rress in the muddy surface that the eX-
cavation went down faster than the
caisson, whose great weight was expect
ed to carry it gradually down, keeping
pace with the work of excavating to a
rock foundation. Yesterday afternoon
an unusual quantity of water began to
tricltle from under the caisson edges,
but the pumps were at work
taking it out. No apprehension
was felt. Gradually the incoming
tide increased until suddenly
from under the edge of the caisson on
every side flood gushed in. The men
too late realized their deadly peril; all
rushed for the exit into the escape pipe.
Immediately around the little trap door
which admitted liberty and life the
frantic unfortunates fought like de-
mons, all knowing that but few OF
them could pass through the inner trap
before the air chamber was completely
filled by the in-rushing tide. Only one
could go through at time, and
as one man gained preemi-
nence he was snatched by his
frenzied companions and drawn back
into the struggling crowd. Meanwhile
the flood rose swiftly and releiitlessly.
The caisson roof was scarcely higher
than the mems heads, and to be left be-
hind was thought to be certain ueath'
Taylor says he was the last of the sur
vivors to escape into the outer lcck AS
he escaped from the clutches of dozen
hands and leaped through the trap into
the outer lock he heard Knox, the
foreman, shout: "For Gods sake
hurry, boys, it's getting over my
head, let the shortest men go first.
The trap fell back behind Tay. or, and
shut his doomed comrades from view. II
is supposed that before any Others could
escape they were all drowned. AT
o'clock this morning the rescuers open
ed the mouth of the caisson. A ghastly
sight greeted them. Right against the
door were three dead men clasped in
each others arms. The fingers of one
were buried in the neck of one of his com
rades, showing that they died in an eff
fort to be the first to escape. The cais
son is full of water, and all are dead.

Mortality in New York City.

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-The alarming
mortality in the city continued to in
crease yesterday, when $50 deaths were
reported at the Bureau of Vital Statis-
tics. Pneumonia caused sixty deaths,
and most of the victims were persons of
middle age, while forty-two deaths were
caused by phthisis and twenty-five were
due to bronchitis. Influenza was given
as the cause of death in four cases and
fifteen deaths were said to have been
caused by the same disease, complicated
with other bronchial troubles.

FIGURING BY MACHINERY.
A Wonderful Invention of II Springfield
Man.

SpR1NerIELD, o., Jan. 13-Joseph
Schnarrenberger, draughtsman, en-
ployed in Superintendent Thos. Rey-
nold's Office, of the C.. S. & c. r. r., has
invented a wonderful mechanical cal
culator, for which letters patent
have been issued to him. The ma
chine performs addition, subtraction,
MULTIPLICATION and division, not only
in whole and decimal fractions,
but also in common fractions. The ma
chine is twelve inches in length, eight
in width, and seven inches high. and
weighs but eight pounds. 1t is de-
signed for office use, and will be espec-
ially valuable for book-keepers. 1t is
made of rubber and steel. The inventor
claims that it is the first and only ma
chine ever invented which will per-
form multiplication, division or square
root by the simple operation OF keys.
Addition is performed by touching a
key bearing the number to be added, and
standing in the proper column or order,
all the columns being added at one time.
The keys of the machine are operated
somewhat on the principle of those OF
typewriter. The machine has been
subjected to many tests, and has proved
successful in every one.
