TACOMA LABOR NEWS.
Programme for Today's Parade-C1ur
d'Alene Miners Defense.

dAlene Miners Defense.
TACOMA, Sept. 3. - Especial. - The
Trades Council has completed its arrange
ments for the Labor day parade. 1t
will form on Pacific avenue at Twenty-ffth
street, at 8 a. m. The mail carriers will be
among the eight-hour unions i'll the first
division. Many floats received their fin
ishing touches today. Benches have been
placed in the baseball grounds for the
baby show and other features. DR.. Wal
drop, of Portland, who will deliver the ad-
dress OF the day after the parade, arrived
this evening. The other speaker will be
Samuel DcNedry and w. A. Ryan. The
speaking will take place in front of Gross
Bros store, at the corner of Ninth and c
streets.
At the Trades Council meeting Thurs
day delegation from the Ceur d'Alene
Miners Union gave its version of the re-
cent strike. 1t was stated that the trouble
had its origin in the building by tho
Miners Union of a hospital for the care of
the sick and wounded, and that this was
objected to by the company, which had
employed physician who was paid 81 per
month by each miner, 81 per cent. of the
total being paid over to the company's
manager. The miners also objected to
buying supplies of the company. Finally
the delegation stated that eight tons of
dynamite would not have been placed
under the company's 100000 mill, as
means to compel a surrender, if the Pink
erton men had not been allowed to enter
miners houses and insult their wives and
mistreat their children.

PIERCED HIS SKULL.
A Flying Splinter May Cost a
Laborer His Life.
SENT SKYwARD BY A BLAST.
Andrew holland Brought to Deaths
Door While Working on the Maple
Valley Branch Road.

While blasting stumps at Francis
camp, on the Maple Valley extension of
the Columbia & Puget Sound railway, yes
terday morning at 7:30 o'clock, Andrew
holland, workman, was struck by flv-
ing splinter, which crashed through his
skull. He now lies at Providence hospi-
tai in precarious condition.
holland and a man named Frederick
son were working together. The blast
was put in and touched off by the latter
and both then retired a short distance,
holland standing by a tree. When the ex-
plosion took place the stump was shat
tered and pieces thrown high in the air.
One of these. about eighteen inches long
and six wide came down with such force on
Noland's head that the sharp and Jagged
point pierced his skull, making semicir-
cular cut of seven inches behind the right
ear. The scalp was torn from the skull
and tapped about when Noland was
moved. The sudden blow knocked him to
the ground. where he lay moaning and
kicking in the dust.
AS the men took him to the station at
Maple valley he uttered some unintelligi-
BILE words, but remained unconscious. The
train did not leave for Seattle until 1
" SiOShs ohQ iii Tic meantime he was
cared for as we'll as circumstances per-
mitted. The train arrived in the city at
PAS O'Clock and holland was taken to
Providence hospital in the patrol wagon.
On the way he moaned and writhed about
i'll manner truly pitiful.
DR.. s. c. Leonhardt made an examina-
ton and pronounced the skull fractured.
Three pieces of bone were removed and
the patient seemed to rally slightly and
was evidently relieved of pain. AT $50
the doctor had holland in bed, though
still unconscious. His chances of recoy-
cry are very slight.
holland is unmarried, about So years old.
and has no relatives in this state. He
came from San Francisco two years ago
and has worked on the Monte Cristo rail-
road until four weeks ago, when he Sc
cured employment on the Maple Valley
line. One of his friends, Nike Nomin. is
with him.

Some Curious Facts Brought Out by Sci-
 entific Study.
 How large is a drop of rain? Prob ably most people have a notion that raindrops are nearly all of one size, al though it is matter of common obser- vation that in what is called misty rain, or drizzle, the individual drops are very small. The question of the size of raindrops is not so unimportant as might be supposed, and MT. B. A. Lowe has collected many facts bearing upon it, and presented them to the Royal Meteorological society.
 He employed in his experiments sheets of slate made in book form so as to be readily closed, and ruled in inch squares The impressions of the drops were caught on the slate and afterward carefully copied On paper.
 He discovered that the size of rain drops varies from a speck so small as to be almost invisible up to a diameter sf two inches.
 Every reader has probably noted that the raindrops preceding a thunderstorm frequently assume gigantic proportions though he may not have suspected that | they could ever attain so great a size as MT. Lowe has discovered that they do Other interesting facts about rain drops which have been brought out by MT. Lowes experiments are that drops l of the same size do not always contain
 the same amount of water, and that some of the largest drops are hollow. l The importance of these observations from scientific point of view lies 1T the bearing of the facts thus ascertainet upon the question of the manner of pre- cipitation of the aqueous vapor of tht atmosphere. From another point O. view they are important as illustrating natures power to introduce variety into her works, even when her hand Ii busied merely in forming drops of rain
