Electricity and Explosives.
No stronger evidence of the safety of
electric lighting installations can be
afforded than the fact that great many
explosives factories are now being lit by
electricity tits obvious thatin building
where the preparation of infammable
or highly explosive substances is carried
on very special care should be taken in
order to avoid even the smallest risk,
and powder manufacturers now find
that the electric light adds consider
able percentage over gas to the chances
of safe operation. While electricity in
creases the safety Of this branch Of in
dustry in one way it lessons it in an
other. There is great deal of free cleo
tricity thrown off in various stages Of
manufacture, and the disposition of this,
SO far as it can be removed out of harms
way, is serious question.
The charge of powder cake press
with ebonite plates may practically be
considered as an electric pile, and a
large amount Of friction or electric in
fuence from outside may cause suff1-
Gent electric charge to give off sparks.
Several undisputed cases of this kind
have been known. Another source Of
danger from friction occurs during the
glazing, rounding and sieving of gun
powder. The powder is subjected to a
constant rubbing of its particles against
each other and during the glazing es-
pecially there is danger of electricity &C.
cumulating.
Therefore precautions should be taken
in order to convey away any charge that
may accumulate in the glazing barrels.

A Live Snake in a woman,s Arm.

There lives, or did quite recently, near
Columbia, S. c., woman afflicted in a
manner that makes ones flesh creep to
think of it. For more than the third Of
century she has carried live snake
under the skin of one of her arms. How
the reptile first found Judgment in its
queer situation is as much of a puzzle to
the old lady as it is to the hundreds who
have visited her for the purpose of view
ing the long welt where the unwelcome
creature lies encysted.
When the lady first noticed the bow
shaped ridge on her arm it was of about
the diameter of pin, and less than two
inches in length. During the many
years that it has safely nestled in her
flesh it has grown from a nero thread to
snake a foot long and as large as a
lead pencil. The eyes of the creature
are plainly visible through the skin, and
the scales can be felt by rubbing the
finger along the welt formed by its body.
Physicians pronounce it most re-
markable freak, and have endeavored,
without success, to prevail upon the old
lady to have it removed. Philadelphia

THE aAMBLER's DEATH.
A Blasphemous Declaration Thas
was Realfxed.

Better not go now, Andy, for there
is a dark, angry-looking storm blow
ing up from the strip. Wait until it's
over"
Nonsense, old boy, l want to get
home and show my saddle, ana De-
sides can ride this mare into hell In
half an hour" ,
The above conversation occufreu
one New Years eve some years
ago, in front OF the only
livery stable in Hunneweil'
Kans.. and the first speaker was
Frank Russell, the owner OF the
place. The man making the blasphe-
nous remark quoted in the foregoing
portion OF the article was Handsome
Andy" Robertson, a wealthy cattle
man and successful gambler. He
had been in town all day, and by good
luck had won large pot OF money
and fine saddle and silver spurs. lie
was Just ready TO go home when a ter
ribe storm arose on the Cherokee
strip and commenced to drive toward
Kansas.
"a Despite his friends warning the
gambler gaily mounted his mettle-
some mare and went dashinR out over
the lonesome prairie at fearful rate
Of speed. He knew he was racing the
storm, but had no idea that grim death
was seated on the crouper OF his sad
die. He travelled the ten miles lying
between Hunnewell and his ranch in
less than half hour and before the
storm reached him. With lusty cry
OF Kate" he sprang off his horse
just as his wife appeared IN the door
and the storm struck. There was
fearful lurid blaze and whirl OF ter
rifying, binding light, followed by a
deafening crash Of thunder, and for
an instant the despairing face OF Andy
Robertson was seen and remarked
floating in a sea OF fire. When the
wife and cowboys reached the place
where he had been standing few
minutes before they found nothing
but dead mare and two melted sill
yer spurs. His body had been con-
sumed by the fire from heaven, and
he had literally done as he had so
iOkingly said he would do, ridden
into hell in half an hour" This is
no romance, but we'll authenticated
fact, and the writer OF this sketch has
often ridden past the spot where the
gambler was killed.. X. Albright

A BIG FARO BET.
A sport Calls the Turn for sr,Soo
and Wins.


An "old sport" in Sacramento tells
the News reporter this story concern
ing play at faro table: at was in
Panamint in its palmy days. Dave
Neagle and Jim Baltinghouse were
dealing faro there. and chap known
as 'One-Eyed Upton was playing
against their game. Upton had the
reputation of having won his money
by stopping stages and beating Wells,
Fargo's boxes, but he played faro like
q king. He had played in about
81 200 and had some 81 800 in checks
before him. 1t was nearly time for
the stage TO leave on which he was
going TO San Francisco. He wanted to
get an action for his remaining checks,
and asked the dealer if he could
make a cali for the 81 800. AS the
dealer had him lin the box $1,000 he
assented, and Upton stacked up his
checks. There was a 8, and a
queen in, and he called IT. 4-9.
The turn came that way and he was
paid four for one-$6,0 900. That.
think, was the most money ever saw
change hands ON one turn"
