Strike of Omnibus Drivers.

LONDON, June THE thorouehfares of
London were strangely silent to-day. owing.
10 the absence of omnibus drivers who ar.
on a strike. There was plentiful supply
OF cabs however, and LondonerS accepted
the discomfort of the situation with
good humor, the weather being fine
but on the resumption of bust
ness tomorrow morning there promises
10 be some hard grumbling. John Burns
and his colleagues We're active the whole of
last night Organizing pickets. This morn
ing saw al bus wards strongly guarded by
police, and gangs of strikers were standing
around after hunanely consenting 10 feed
the horses. About twenty vehicles of the
road car company and few of the general
omnib bus company ventured out with black
leg drivers. but many of these drivers after
experiencing the tauptS and ieerS
Of the strikers abandoned the attempt
after the first journey ana al , o'clock i'm
the afternoon the road car company called
in al its cars. leaving the traffic TO occa-
sional pirates who cheered by the
strikers Gid good business. The rail
ways river boats and cabs reaped the ben
eft of the strike. The strikers generally
We're orderly, only two incidents being re
ported. AT Chariue Cross in the presence
Of 1000 cheering onlookerS John Burns
stoutly resisted violent attempts
of the police 10 arrest him on top of road
car where he had been trying TO pursuade
the police TO interfere with the drivers for
working without license. On the police
desiSting from their efforts Burns
followed them quietly to the station where
ne was charged with intimidation. Some
strikers cut the traces OF one of the
busses at Marble Arch and overturned it
after inducing the driver TO descend. Three
other strikers were arrested. The men
have abandoned their demand for an in
crease of wages for the present. The Road
car company is willing to concede twelve
hours. and il is probable that settlement
will be effected tomorrow.

USE OF DYNAMITE.
Finest Steel Engravings Made
in the Twinkiing of an Eye.
A GREAT SAVING OF TIME.
The Most Delicate Flower or Leaf I'M
pressed on the Surface of the Hardest
Iron-The Result of q Series
of Experiments.

New YORK, June Among the many
new uses to which gunpowder and other
high explosives have been applied recently
is that OF engraving. BY means of the force
generated by the defamation of those arti-
cles lines of delicate leaves, grasses and in
SectS have been impressed upon the hard
est iron procurable in the space of half a
second. By the old processes hours were con-
Sumed where machinery was used and many
attempts We're made to secure artistic re-
suits. Many recent experiments have been
made, mostly by officers of the army and
navy, which have demonstrated the
efficiency Of the method. At New
port few weeks ago q heavy
charge of dynamite was exploded by
several officers who were delegated by the
government TO test j new method of cleo
tricity in fuses. Some small dried leaves,
without the knowledge Of the officers, had
slipped in between the cartridge and the
iron block from which the charge had been
fired. When the experiment mad been COM
pieted the officers were surprised to find 4
perfect impression Of the leaves in the ironS
The most delicate lines were reproduced
with startling distinctnesS. A series of eX-
perments which We're attended with re-
markable success followed. One of the
officers who made the first experiment is
now in the city and he gave me an
account of his discovery when | saw
Ill All uptown itoltl lilt otiltG
Il was rather surprised to find that it
was possible 10 reproduce the outlines OF
perishable articles upon the surface of iron
by means OF explosives = said he. and was
at first skeptical, although | had often
heard that candle could be fired through
in oak plank. When we found the imprint
of leaf we made several similar tests.
They took place at the torpedo station
in Newport We placed several leaves and
flowers between the plates and then fired 4
moderate charge Of dynamite on the upper
plate. The exact lines with even the veins
in the petals of the flowers were reproduced
in the hard metal Other and more ex-
tended experiments We're attended with
similar results. Another singular
fact is that when exploded under
water the imprints are much firmer
than those produced in the open air.
Frequently when Wad of gun cotton is ex-
pioded beneath the surface of the water the
explosive will sink into the iron foundation
so deep that the sunken words and figures
will be reproduced i'll raised characters on
the IRON
Several manufacturers have followed the
example set by the officers, and some Gay,
probably. dynamite will be put in practical
use as an engraver.
