Frank Bryant, a hoy about 13 years of

He and companion had procured a can
mister of powder and entered vacant

on the explosive power of the composition.
The result exceeded their most sangune
expectations. By some means or other the
whole of the powder exploded and flashed
up. burning Bryants face and neck very
badly.
The patrol-wagon was summoned from
the Seventeen th-street station, and the in-
