The cause of the explosion near Tarrytown
on Tuesday has not been ascertained, but some
light was thrown upon it yesterday by the
engineer of the train. His statement makes
him highly important witness for the Coroner
who is holding the inquest on the dead Italians.
The statement is that shortly before the ex-
posion he saw one of the Italians smoking on
the car which contained the explosive, and nc
is confident that the oily rope onthe car was not
ignited by spark from the engine. IL the
fact of the smoking is substantiated, it will
show gross and culpable carelessness on the
part of those in charge of the Italian gang.

Color of Pure Water.

Pure water, especially sea water, is
impid, clear and transparent. 1t absorbs
all the prismatic colors, except that of ul-
tramarine, which being reflected in every
direction imparts to some bodies of water
greenish tint and to others an azure
blue. The true tint of water when not
exposed to atmospheric influences is al
ways uniform, but it changes its color
in certain localities from the presence of
infusoria, egetable-substances and mi
mute particles of other matter. Water in
natural state is said never to be wholly
pure. Drawn from well, it may look
bright and sparkling and yet be full Of
deadly poison to animal and human sys-
TENS.
Speaking generally, pure water always
has blush hue, yet some has strong
yellowish or brownish tint, from the
presence of iron or peat, and yet is free
from hurtful impurities. The blue tint
of water may be discerned in the follow
ing simple manner: Let down into the
water which is being experimental on
a metal tube Opened at the top and
closed with a clean plate of glass at the
other end) near to some white object, a
big white bowlder, for an instance, where
the water is 10 or 20 feet deep. The
bowlder or other object, when viewed
through the tube, will be found to be of
a most beautiful blue color 1t would
appear to be yellow if its color was due
to the light reflected by extremely small
particles of matter suspended in the
water.-St. Louis Republic.

No More Coloring Pipes.

Coloring meerschaums has gone out of
fashion. Years ago it was quite fad,
but SO much trouble was required to
keep a meerschaum in good condition
that most smokers discarded their pipes
and took to cigars. A meerschaum, to
be properly colored, needs as much at
tention as a baby. 1t must not get too
hot, for then the wax coating is driven
out and the pipe does not take proper
color; it must not get too cold nor cool
off suddenly, or it will crack: you must
not touch it with your fingers, nor smoke
it too steadily, nor keep a cover on it
while using it, for in either case it is
spoiled. Men, as q rule, do not smoke
for the pleasure Of coloring a pipe, but
for the comfort they get from the habit,
and SO the meerschaum has given way
