A NARROW ESCAPE.
The New Tabernacle the
Scene Of an Explosion.
Thos. E.DanieIS Comes With :
in an Ace of Losing
His Life,

What came very near being the
worst disaster ever experienced i'll
Provo occurred yesterday morning
about II O'Clock, when the >tuka
Tabernacle narrowly escaped destruc-
ton by fire. The readers Of The Dis
PATCH have been made acquainted
with the fact that for nearly week
past Mr.. T. E. Daniels, Jr.. the
electrician Of the Prov :: ellen Mills,
has been engaged in tile work of con-
Meeting the Tabernacle witt the
electric light. 1t was while doing this
work yesterday that be- had a narrow
escape from meeting serious if not
fatal injuries. He was iii the east end
of the building, between the ceiling
and the roof, and was using gasoline
bloWpipe in making the necessary con-
nections with the wire. There was
about half gallon of gasoline in the
kettle at the time, which was dis
covered to be leaking. ALI of sudden
flame shot away up in the roof, az d
the entire apparatus caught on ire.
Mr. Daniels readily saw that lew
seconds would elapse before it would
explode, and knowing that he would
never get out of the building alive #
this happened. and tha5 tie building
was in danger, he seized the who'll
business and threw it out of the north
window. 1t had not lit on the ground
three or four seconds before 1t eX-
pioded with a fearful noise. M.
Daniels had his eyebrows and NOUS
tache badly scorched and his face
burnt. He feels lucky co esca re with
his life.

MAGAZINES,

Harper's Magazine for October opens
with the first of two papers on "Cairo in
$780," by Constance Fenimore Woolson.
This article, which comprises the best de-
scription of the Egyptian capital yet writ
ten, is copiously illustrated after photo
graphs and from drawings by the most &C
complished artists. DR.. John G. Van Dyke
contributes to the same number On appre-
oiative article on The Art Students
League of New York''-the Quickest art
school in the world''-relating it's brief his
tory and describing it's methods md pur-
poses. Ten illustrations drawn by pupils
OF the school accompany the article.
Montgomery Schuyler's "GIimpses of
Western Architecture' includes his impress
sions Of the architecture of St. Paul and
Minneapolis, with viaws of a number of
characteristic buildings in those cities.
Frank d. Millet. in "A Courier's
Ride" relates the story OF an ad-
venture in Bulgaria while serving as war
correspondent In the Russo Turkish war of
1877. The stirring narrative is graphically
illustrated ON his own sketches, some of
which were made at the time of the oc-
currences he describes. Walter Besart'g
paper on London describes the life of the
common people in the tho Plantagenet
period-their trades, occupations. amuse-
ments, festivals, home life. Among other
important articles arc the Letters of
Charles Dickens to Wilkie Collins,' a pop
ular and highly interesting article on
Common Sense in Surgery" written by
Helen II. Gardener. The fiction OF the
number includes the continuation of George
du Maurier's Peter Ibbetson," with four
teen characteristic Illustrations by
the author; the conclusion of Mr..
Howslfs imperative Duty a strik-
ing short story, entitled "a Legend
of Sonora" by Hildegarde Hawthorne; and
IAN Unfinished Story by Richard Hard
ing Davis, a remarkable piece of literary
conception, which will appeal to the adyo-
Gates of realism in fiction no less than to
the lovers of romenticism.

GOVERNMENT TIMBER TESTS.

One OF the most important and praise
worthy works undertaken by the de-
partment Of agriculture is "a series of
thorough tests Of the various woods
grown in the United States. The rela-
tive strength and durability of the diff
ferent sorts of timber are always mat
ters of dispute and even among those
engaged in building, bridge construc-
ton, engineering and manufacturing
there is little scientific knowledge of the
subject. This is largely due to the fact
that wood OF the same species. grown
under different conditions of soil and
climate, differs greatly in quality. Build
ers and others learn by experience the
qualities of timber in the section of
country where they work, but know lit
tie of the same wood grown in other
parts of the country. The department
Of agriculture at Washington proposes
to test the properties OF wood from all
sections Of the country with tho pur-
pose, as announced in the circular is
sued by Chief Fernow, of the forestry
division, "of establishing any laws which
will be generally applicable in determin-
ing quality by physical appearance,
structure and origin of material" Some
OF the questions which it is expected to
solve are these: What are the essential
working properties of our various woods,
and by what circumstances are they in
fluenced? What influence does season.
ing OF different degrees have upon quail
ity? How does age, rapldity of growth,
time of Telling ana after treatment

POSTOFFICE CHANGES.

Increasing the Number of Lock Boxes
Other Improvements.
Postmaster Clewell had a number of men
at work last night tearing out the old
framework in which the familiar brass lock
boxes were set. The boxes are being put in
handsome new oak castings manufactured
by a Nebraska firm. The money order of
fee has been moved back into an adjoining
room in the rear of the building, giving
additional space for 800 more boxes. On
the left. toward the rear. will be the regis
try department.. A handsome oak and
ground glass front will ornament the general
delivery. Th changes are a great improve
ment IN the old office, giving the employees
more room in distributing mail and afford
ing increased accommodation to the public.
The alterations now being made will not
interfere with the regular routine of the
office, and will probably be completed to-
day.
