For Safety in Mines.

The prevention of accidents from ex-
plosive gasses in coal mines by means
of a water cartridge" as proposed
some time since, appears on experiment
to have proved very successful As
managed for this purpose, an explosive
charge of tcnite is placed in tin tube
of size suitable for a shot-hole, the
tube is filled with water, and the cart
ridge suspended in it by means of a
wire connection with the detonator
the tube being securely plugged, the
cartridge placed in the shot-hole, and
rammed in the usual way. Thus, as is
claimed, there is no flame when the
charge is exploded and consequently no
danger Gf igniting gas, while at the
same time the coal is not shattered as
in ordinary blasting. An account of
some of the tests made with this cart
ridge shows that in one case four ordi-
nary shots were fired in the coal with
four-ounce charges of tonite without
any flame being observed. In another
and severe test two blowout shots
were tried in hard metal with no indi-
cation OF fame, while, as final test, a
loaded cartridge was fired ON the mine
| door, and again there was no indica-
tion of flame, these results showing un.
questIonably the absolutely hameless
properties of the cartridge IN. Y Sun.

PLAID WAISTS.
One OF the Pretty Styles That viii BE
Prevalent This Water.

One OF the Pretty Styles That win BE
Prevalent This Water.
The foulard and cotton blouses of
summer will soon be superseded by
waists of plaid silks, which may be had
in gay Scotch tartans, and also in more
subdued French coloring. Sometimes
only the upper part of guimpe and
large bias sleeves are made of plaid
silk to fill out corselet and skirt of
serge, tweed or vigogne, but the entire
waist of plaid is largely imported, to
wear with various skirts of dark wool
or silk. A gay silk waist of bright
Stuart plaid, with red as the prevailing
color, is gathered on fitted lining
that points slightly in front and back,
the sides defining the waist-line. The
silk is bias throughout, with the fulness
from the shoulders drawn down under
folded girdle of the same that points
upward quite high in front, and slopes
to a two-inch belt in the back. A
slender gilt buckle which curves in
with the figure is passed through the
front of the girdle, while the back is
fastened under rosette. A collarette
of the silk with selvage finish is plated
below high collar, and points low in
front and back, while the shorter
shoulder plaits reach only to the top Of
the sleeves. These sleeves are large
gigots of bias silk with turned-over
cuffs. A beautiful guimpe for dark blue
or green dresses is made of white silk
with bias bars OF blue and green, each
edged with bright yellow.
Black satin merveilleux with colored
stripes is also used for separate waists
Line stripes of pink with blue, or green
with marive and yellow, are very effec
tive on black grounds. These waists
have a double boX-pait down the back
with fronts gathered on the shoulders
and trimmed down the middle with tive
projecting rufiles that are selvage-edged
The collars and cuffs of doubled satir
are turned over and square-cornered
Such waists are long enough to extenC
over the hips if desired, but are mos
often worn with the ends passed inside
the skirt. A belt of the satin has
chou or buckle in front.-Harper'
Bazaar

POISON OF FEARFUL STRENGTH.

Experiments Showing the Power of Virus
Elected by the Deadly Cobra.
DR. Arthur Stradling, writing of
number of vipers which were presented
to him, says: "Vipers have very large
poison glands, and obtained the venom
by allowing them to bite on small
porcelain spoon made on purpose,
covered over with oiled silk like a drum.
The fangs, sinking through the silk
into the hollow of the spoon, would
each discharge a tiny drop or globule
of virus, and this | would collect and
store in fine glass tubes or on dried blot
ting paper. "There are many other
methods of getting the poison, but /
think this is the best. In India the
natives procure cobra venom by induc-
ing the enraged reptiles to strike at
she'll across which leaf is stretched.
Each Of my snakes could be depended
upon to yield poison once a day, but it
was only trace at a time-just glis-
tening speck that you could hardly see.
OF course this was a slow process, and
one day l made calculation that if my
sixteen vipers had kept in full health
and vigor, and had yielded daily all the
year round, and supposing that it had
been possible to keep the fluid without
letting it dry up, it would have taken
more than seven years to produce a
quart This will give you some idea of
the fearful strength of the stuff, when
you think how minute is the quantity
injected at each bite. The experiments
which was making just then consisted
chiefly of soaking scraps of meat bits
of hard-boiled egg and things of that
sort in the poison. and analyzing the
changes which resulted in them after n
given interval And from these and
from similar trials it was found that
this fluid had the power of dissolving
the albu nen OF flesh like the gastric
juice hast so it is thought that one
great use tperhaps the greatest) of the
venom is to aid in the digestion of the
serpent's food. OF course it might de-
that, and serve as ammunition to kill
the prey as we'll "-Manchesier Timea.

A NEW ANAsTHEsIA PROCESS
Tho Use of Cold for the Purpose Becomes
POPULAR with Germans.

Tho Use of Cold for the Purpose Becomes
Popular with Germans.
A new method has been brought for
ward in Germany for producing anes-
thesia by the application of cold the
feature in this case being that it is not
the cold-producing agent which touches
the desired part, but metallic tube, or
chamber, which is cooled by carbonic
acid. The cold may, according to the
requirements of the case, be regulated
from the temperature of the cold water
to one sufficiently low to cauterize
The first symptom of this artificial cold
is described as anemic of the cellular
tissue, producing slight sensation of
burning, this being followed by anms-
thesia, which lasts from one to two
minutes and then disappears without
any evil effects. The simple turning of
tap will regulate the stream of car
bonic acid to any degree of temperature
down to degrees Fahrenheit. No
moisture is produced, and the special
point is noted that in using this cold
for cauterizing the advantage is afforded
of producing an@sthesia at the same
time. On its application to any of the
internal cavities, such as the mouth, it
is necessary to have the parts carefully
dried, as the tissues would otherwise
adhere to the instrument. 1t is stated
that in applying this method in the case
of Il boy in the Maria hospital at Ham
burg the success was SO complete that
the boy looked on without moving Il
muscle while deep incision of twelve
eentimeters in length was made in his
thigh. -Baltimor American.
