CALL FOR FIREWORKS.
A Big Demand Will Be Made This Fall to
Enltven the Campaign.

A Big DIT tmand Will Be Made This Fall to
Enliven the Campaign.
Prof. Cutler, the expert who had charge
of the fireworks at Schenley Park, returned
to New York last evening. He said it was
very fine display, and he prolonged the
exhibition for two hours. 1t was possible
to have fired them all in half an hour.
Some of the rockets were quite original,
and MI. Cutler claims it was the finest dis
play ever seen in Pittsburg
''The demand for fireworks this year, "
he said, ''has been enormous Our COM
pany had its hands full to fill orders Peo-
Pile imagine that the Fourth 10 the only
time when crackers are called for. This is
mistake. 1t is true the Fourth is our
best time, but there is a constant demand
for fireworks This fall will be great sea-
son for u.s. Plenty of red fire, Roman
candles, rockets, etc, will be needed to en-
liven the campaign"

personal appeals would have their usual
effect with such natures. The meetings
wonld usually start with q very striking
hymn. whose sonorous refrain ran as FOL
lows:
IT'S the power,
Ills the power that Jesus promised
Would come down.
This 10 repeated time after time in q
weird melody that makes it's i'm

the body. The leaders break out
strains of the song and refrain. Come.

have mercy upon these sim burdened souIs."
God be praised" Such are the exclama-
eternity. Those who are moved are deeply
moved. and those who are not touched are
apt TO treat the scene in q s%cofing way as
if ridiculous. 1t takes not moro than hf-
teen or twenty minutes of such songs and
pray rs, with a Scripture reading. TO pro-
duce the most excited state of mind. The
sin-stricken flock to the altar, and on
Bonded knees with utter Indifference TO the
surroundines. begin To appeal for divine
mercy. The PRAYERS and supplIcations are
audible. tears filled the eyes. and the most
susceptible to deep emotion pass through
all the stages of emotion to q state OF rigid
muscles. some fall PROSTATE to the floor.

ture, with lusterlees ewes. seemingly occu-
pied afar Oft. Occasionally in the meeting
would be heard n scream-it meant some
soul believed it had been blessed. The
leader strikes up a hallelujah song. and all.
for q time. is lost in it's lusty strains. It
comes to an end with some brother start

Dangers Of Celluloid.

Mr.. C. V. Boys informs the Lon
don Times of the dangers to women
through the use of celluloid buttons.
One case has come under his notice,
in which a lady, standing near q
bright fire, had one of the buttons
of her dress ignited by the heat,
whereby her dress was scorched.
Mr.. Boys gives the following rough
tests Of the danger of celluloid or
naments:
A gas fame was directed against
one side of an iron ring, the. head
of a common wax match containing
phosphorus was placed on the ring
about two inches from the flame,
and a piece Of the button was sim
ilarly placed at an equal distance
on the other side. A second piece
of the button was also placed ON
the ring, but at twice the distance
from the flame. A small piece Of
paper was laid lightly over each
After five minutes, the first piece Of
the button ignited, and burned with
a bright fame; after twelve minutes
the second piece did the same;
while, after seventeen minutes, the
match head was still unchanged
On testing it with a light, it immed-
lately burst into flame. A third
piece of the button was pinned to
the surface of an old duster, which
for the purpose Of the test was
to a dress, and the dus-
ter was hung from a chair in front
Of an ordinary bright Ere, but out
side the fender, and ut a distance
1t which the skirts of dress might
any day be found In two or three
minutes there was cloud Of smoke,
and hole was burned in the dustef.
