CURRENT COMMENT,

They are afraid of British invasion,
over Burlington way. and are anxious
ly awaiting the establishment of that
military post Oh which the government
is to expend several hundred thousand
dollars. The Free Press says that the
post twill afford no small feeling of Sc
curity to the residents of this region
Poor, timId people! Would it not be
well to haye our militia go into perma-

The new ballot law is a preplexitv to
some, curiosity to the majority of
voters, and is likely to be pronounced a
nuisance by all. Nevertheless it should
not be made bugaboo to keep voters
away from the polls, for it is fact that
with the explicit cards of instruction
which are required by law to be posted
at the polling places there is no chance
for misunderstanding and the work of
voting occupies only few seconds
when understood. Whatever of uncer-
tainty is embodied in the language of
the law is in regard to duties of officers,
and does not concern the voter Wood

BOILER EXPLOSION AT BRANDON.


A Brandon dispatch of Sunday says
"The boilers of the electric light COM
pany located in the scale shops building
exploded Saturday night at 9 80. Adolf
phus Germond, aged i50, an employee,
was instantly killed; his son and a
young man named Hale were taken
from the ruins badly injured. The loss
to the company will exceed $4,000. Had
the accident occurred an hour earlier
the loss of life would have been great,
as at that time the streets were filled
with teams and pedestrians. Missiles
were blown across the street, demolish-
ing the glass front in the Centennial
building"
1t appears from other accounts of the
casualty that the men were in the brick
engine and dynamo room at the time of
the explosion. The boiler broke in two
and one piece went through the brick
wall into the engine room, where the
men were. The younger Germond and
Hale or Hayles. were not badly injured.
The body of the elder Germond was
found under the boiler. There is no
known cause for the explosion. a few
minutes before it occurred there was
plenty of water in the boiler and the
gauge did not show too great pressure
of steam. Mr.. Frank E Briggs, who
owns the property, is said to place the
total loss at not less than $4,000. 1t

fore the plant will again be in opera

testants and both appeared to know
that it was fight to the death.
There was now tremulous motion
visible in every limb of the tarantula
and it was evident that he was con-
templating offensive measures. With
the leap of tiger he bounded upon his
foe and once more sunk his fangs into
the body of the snake. This time it
was in vain for the serpent to writhe
and founder, for the tarantula chung
to his enemy with the tenacity of a
bull dog.
The spider was bruised and beaten,
some of his legs were broken, but he
held on with desperate courage, and
gradually the efforts of the RATHER
grew weaker until at last his coils re-

The fight lasted only ten minutes,
and was most thrilling exhibition of
ferocity and courage. The quickuess
of motion exhibited by the tarantula
was marvellous, and through it he
avoided being struck by the serpent.
The dead serpent was evidence against
the clerks, and they had to confess to
the proprietor that they had introduced
the tarantula to the serpent with re-

Met Death in u Horrible Form

He was instantly killed and Jacob Kessler,
his employer, seriously shocked by
coming in contact with q live
electric light wire. This is the third
similar fatal accident in Louisville 10 five
days. The timers were at work on tin
roof, Beumstiel grabbed wire to steady
himself, Kessler looked up at him and saw
the boy standing motionless against the
wire The electric fluid was burning the
hands, causing sickening odor. In an
instant Kessler was az the boys s de.
Grasping the body of the boy, he himself
came in contact with the wire and was
thrown to the roof by the violence OF the
shock. He managed to release the uncon-
scious form, however, and to crawl down
the stairs to get assistance, When sew

A STRANGE DUEL.
A Tarantula and Rattlesnake Fight to
the Death.

A Tarantula and Rattlesnake Fight to
the Death.
It is quite common thing among the
soldiers in Arizona to pit tarantulas
against each other and bet on the fight
ing powers of their favorites. This
fact doubtless suggested to the clerks
in II. Ii. Tammens curiosity store in
Denver the idea of getting up fight
between large and lively tarantula
and rattlesnake.
Before the fight began the odds were
ten to one in favor of the snake and
there were few takers. The proprietor
was not in at the time and the clerks
had closed the store for the night, so
there was not much probability of an
interruption The big snake was driven
into one end of his cage and parti-
ton let down to keep him safe, so that
the tarantula could be introduced.
The little sliding door at the other
end, carefully protected by closely
woven wire screen, was raised and the
tarantula slipped into the compartment.
Then the partition was pulled up and
eager eyes peered through the glass
sides of the cage to witness the result.
The tarantula arose and bristled all
over like chestnut burr, the rattle
snake reared its head and thrust forth
its forlhed tongue with the rapidity of
lightning. Thus the two strange and
deadly creatures remained for mo-
ment, gazing at each other.
Suddenly there was heard the thrill
ling whirr of the snakes rattles and
with the pliancy of steel spring the
snake threw himself into coil with
his head raised in the center and vi
brating rapidly from side to side. The
tarantula was as iynmovable as If
carved in stone.
Suddenly, with a motion almost too
swift for the eye to follow, the rattler
struck, but he missed his mark, for the
tarantula, with the speed of lightning,
bounded into the air, and, descending
on one of the serpent's coils, sunk his
fangs into the flesh. The snake in
stantly began thrashing around the
cage and dislodged his foe.
Again the tarantula became immov-
able, and again the serpent coiled and
struck, only to be foiled. Fire seemed
to flash from the eyes of both the con-

The wholesale poisoning Of family
by eating cheese and their narrow
escape from death, and other incidents
of like nature quite recently, calls for
more than passing remark Some
analytical work has been done by ex.
perts to determine the character Of
the poison, and have been quite sue
cessful. so that Prof. Vaughn has
given the poison a name and descrip-
ton. The cause OF the formation OF
the tyrotoxicon crystals is supposed to
originate from the putrefaction Of ami
NAL tissues, and also OF the growth OF
minute organisms in the milk, that
trace their source to improper clean
ing of milk utensils Milk may adj
here to the sides of pals and cans in
the little dents and bruises, notably
the seams and in short time this
old milk gives off swarm of putre-
factive germs that work the danger in
the cheese, as they are not killed in
the making or curing process, the heat
and other conditions making cheese
the natural home for them. The
reason why they are present in
cheese and not in butter is from two
causes: they are not active in fats or
oils, and butter making deals with the
fats by gravity, or centrifugal separa-
tiop from the milk, but in cheese curd
they find congenial homes and multi
ply to the extent that the ptomains or
poison elements form, and by q cer-
tain chemical process may be recov-
cred in the form of crystals that If
given as medicine, act exactly as does
the poisoned cheese. What remedy
Absolute cleanliness in stable and
dairy house and knowing that the
utensils about the milk are kept
bright and shining. The factory
management where the cheese is made
is not exempt from this law OF care
and cleanliness; and to be on guard in
this matter may save visit from the
health officer and its consequent re'
sponsibility. Ohio Farmer.

This Swine PIeg ne.

A farmer sometimes maligns the
buzzards and the dogs for spreading
the swine plague. Often there is
cause for it but need not be if every
farmer would burn or securely bury
such hogs as soon as dead. Another
point worthy OF consideration is that
oftentimes proper sanitary conditions
and pure foods of several kinds will
save the hogs, Notwithstanding the
fact that the buzzards fly over the
farm daily for weeks as scavengers OF
adjoining farms. and the dogs have
numerous runs across the farm for the
same purpose. If this is not true why
do the herds of some men escape.

Telling the TimO and Place on a Cloudy
Day when Lost.
The way of finding where am when
lost in the field or upon the water on a
cloudy day is to place the point Of a
knife-blade upon the middle of my
thumb-nail--the blade in line perpcn-
dicular to the plane Of the nail. A
shadow will then be seen upon the nail
pointing at the knife point, and one can
readily determine where the sun is.
If the hour hand of watch is then
pointed at the sun half of the distance
between the hour hand and IL o'clock is
due south at any time between 8 q. m.
and p. m. Between the hours of 0 p.
m. and 6 a. m. half of the distance be-
tween the hour hand and IL o'clock Is
due north, says a writer in Forest and
Stream.
In the woods one can be deceived by
the nail shadow If he stands among
trees and light comes through an open
ing in the forest. 1t is necessary "a
