Blasting.

The intense heat of the electric arc
has been tried in Sweden for blast
ing. A deep hole is drilled in the
rock and a Jablochkoff candle is in
serted and the current turned on.
The intense heat causes the rock to
swell at that point, and internal
strains crack the whole rock. Holes
are best drilled into the solid part,
not as in blasting, in the seams and
soft places.

some convenient UdfnNdIu. lie Was
captured several times, but always
managed to escape. Seven or eight
years ago he was captured by some
fearless fellow with an enterprising
turn Of mind, for the purpose Of en-
tering him in a dime museum as the
wild Man of Borneo."
When taken his body was as hairy
as that of a bear and covered with
filth and vermin. His eye cleaned
like the eye Of a maniac and he had
almost lost the power Of speech. For
twenty years he lived in a cave of the
ChilhOWee Mountains. and was never
known to have spoken a word during
that time He lived in a state of
nudity and was fond of raw meat
Those who know his history say
that he was born in Monroe County,
near Hiwassee College, in 1927 or
thereabout. He was Of good family
and received a splendid education.
At about 20 years of age he was en-
gagged in teaching school, and in the
meantime fell in love with a hand
some young lady of his neighborhood.
She received his attentions with APP
parent favor. One night he called
and asked her to become his wife.
She said NO" He went out into the
darkness and it was many years be-
fore he was seen again. and then he
fled from his fellow like a fright
ened deer.

The Annual Hum.

| The city election last Tuesday while
not exciting to the degree that has in
times past characterized the election of
municipal officers was not entirely void
OF interest. The attempt to force Bro.
Volkmar into the city harness was looked
taxpayers as a little presumptive to use
mild term, for in free country no one
should be compelled to bear all the public
burdens, and the consequence was, Mr.
j. A. Mcbride was placed in the field to
give him little warming up but not
with any serious Intentions OF deprivlng
HIM Of the race, or shutting him off from
municipal honors and emoluments.
Brother Volkmar had the inside track,
having had all the little details arranged
Tor weeks beforehand, and thoughtful
attendants had groomed and cleaned him
OF all unnecessary weights, until on the
morning of election he appeared the very
thoroughbred that he was, trained to the
course, his shapely limbs and flashing
eye betokening the royal blood that
coursed through his veins, and gave
promise of thousand victories yet to
come. By the side of this prancing
thoroughbred it seemed almost absurd to
bring out common everyday utility
horse, who had not even paced over the
track or been given an hours speeding,
and the friends OF the former almost felt
that it would be waste of time to make
the race against an opponent SO lily pre-
prepared that he would be most Woful.y
distanced the first heat. But appear.
ances are sometimes deceiving and they
proved to be in this case, tor when the
word go was given the racer found
his opponent with him, and down
the track they went neck and neck,
to the great surprise OF all and
and the supreme disappointment of the
admirers OF the trained racer, who ex
pected every moment to see their
tavorite make grand squirt aud leave
his opponent far behind, but set the pace
as fast he would he found his companion
at his head and ever and anon leading him
for little tun until they came laundering
down the home strech and under the wire
nose and nose. To the spectators the race
appeared dead heat, but the judges de-
cided to give it to the Thoroughbred, and
as the stakes were light noasbieetlon was
made to the decision, although some
thought that reference to the re-
cords OF the time keepers might have
changed the result. However this
may be the grooms found that the pace
had been too fast for the thoroughbred,
as after the race he was discovered to be
completely wind broken and badly
spawned by the strain that be had been
subjected to, with indications Of ring
bone and oyer-heating, SO that it will be
necessary hereafter to keep him off the
track, and tote him along on soft feed.
In fact it will be impossible for him ever
to be entered again.
About the only other contest worth
seeing was that for the assessor sweep
stakes, but the track was too crowded to
make this particularly interesting. In the
race John Douglass came under the wire
Is points ahead Of his nearest competitor.
The Australian rules worked to per-
lection. and served to keep the spectators
off the track, an annoyance that was OF
frequent occurrence under the old sys-
