Two Thousand Pounds of Dynamite
Awaken the Echoes at Dawn.
Augusta, Ca, Aug. 20.-This morning
about daybreak the people of Augusta
were suddenly awakened by a tremendous
explosion. All sorts of stories were afoat
in the city during the morning as to the
cause, but investigation proved it to be
the explosion of 1000, pounds of dyna-
mite three miles above the city, on the
river bank. 1t was the property of En-
gineer A. j. Twiggs, who has taken asub-
in the river, and had hauled it there for
use.
MALICIOUS PARTIES SUSPECTED.
He believes it was exploded by mali
cious parties who are unfriendly TO him
in Carolina. 1t was storediin a hut on a
bluff on the Carolina side of the river. 1t
did no damage beyond the SCATTERING of
glass windows 10 the neigh borhOod, and
some even as far away as the city. Pas
ties who came to town from GrOvetown,
sixteen miles away, report that the explo-
sion was heard there.

How Spoois Are Made.

Birch wood is preferred. The wood is
first sawed into sticks q or 5 feet long and
sevcn-eighths of an inch to 8 inches square
according to the size of the spool to be pro-
duced. These sticks are thoroughly sea
soned. They are sawed into short blocks
and dried in a hot air kiln. At the time
they are sawed holes are bored perpendic-
ularly through each block, which is set on
one end under n rapidly revolving long
shanked auger. Next one whirl of each
little block against some little knives that
are turning at lightning speed fashions it
into a spool, according to pattern desired,
snd that, too, at the rate of one n second
for each set Of knives.
A row of small boys feed the spool
making machines by simply placing the
blocks in Il spout. selecting the best and
throwing out the knotty and defective
stock. The machine is automatic" but
there are some things which it cannot do;
hence the employment of the small boys
above mentioned. After the spools are
turned they are placed in alarge drum and
revolved rapidly until they have taken on u
fine polish. For some special purposes they
are dyed yellow, black or red, according to
taste. When one sees a spool of thread
marked 1000 Or 1900 yards" it does not
signify that the thread has been measured,
but that the spool las been gaug"a and is
supposed to have that amount OF thread

A Iifc For a Billiard Bnll.

The globe of ivory which is knocked
about Il table in n game of billiards costs,
if of good quality, at least GO. This repre-
sents its cos5 in money. There is, how
ever, a far more important and formidable
element in The price which has been paid
for 1t. The billiard ball of pure ivory rep
rescnts, rs it lies white and glistening upon
the clcth, ia expenditure of human life
blood rs well as of money. Elephants
tusks are brought down to the African
coast By caravans, generally in charge of
Arabs, which awe been trading in the in
terror. Nery' often they have picked up
slaves rs we'll as ivory. But this phase of
the matter may be left out Of the account.
1t is estimated that every large caravan
bringing ivory to the coast has cost more
than 100 human lives through fights and
murders in the course of the expedition.
Thirty mere men are likely to have sue
cumEel tC fevCrs or other diseases and the
fatigues of the march.
o. The hunting Of the elephants and the
capture OF the ivory IRE very likely to have
caused the death of 10 men altogether.
Such casualties arc the rule in elephant
hunting rather than the exception. An
average t,lSk doe; not furnish more thar
enough llntcii"i for two good billiard balls.
OF course, the remainder of the ivory in
each tus,; Is mallc use'of in other ways. A
perfectly cut billiard ball requires special
qualify, orsD called nerve" which is found
only in enc part Of the tusk. The chances
are that IL billiard ball Of the first quality
has cost at least one human lifc.--Million.

ADVENTURE WITH A BOA.
An Extremely Unpleasant count In .
CcvlOncSs Gurdcn.

F .E
One incident that occurs to me Is q little
adventure ! lave had with Il python, q
snake Of the molurus tribe, in my W gar
den in Colombo. One evening | was smok-
ting on tho ,c.anda after dinner. 1t was a
cloudy night, but the air was perfectly still.
What seemed to be tho branch of ntrce was
lying across the carriage drive, and as no
ticed it I wondered how 1t could have fallen
when not ~ breath of wind was stirring. 1t
was perfectly %motionless, and after awhile
i went down to throw 1t aside ont OF the
path. But the moment / stopped over 1t
the object seemed to melt away.
Amazed and half doubling the evidence
of my own eyes, | took a step in pursuit,
but the instantaneous contraction of the
whole body, ready for a spring, and the
long, deep hiss that followed Told me OF
the DANGER | was In. Each staid without
the movement Of n muscle for about
10 seconds, and then the snake imper-
ceptibly disappeared. One long sigh of re-
lief and a dart into the house that beat
the record form go yard sprint closed the
proceedings for me that night. Had l by
mistake laid the slightest touch upon the
creatures body the probability is that with
in less than half u minute l should have
been reduced to Il shapeless lump Of pulp
and broken bones. Rescue would have
been impossible. Providence was merciful
to me that night.
Soon after we found that the python
had taken up its abode in the garden, but
it had chosen its hiding place SO cunningly
that there was no getting at 1t. One night
ala3y who was i'll was lying awake in her
room, and the room next to hers was occu-
pied by MY sister. The door between the
two rooms wasopen, and suddenly the lady
saw a large snake come in at the window,
waving it's head about in search of a place
where it might alight. A moment later it
fell with II loud flop to the floor. OF course
it had disappeared by the time they had re-
covered from tho shock and called for as
sistance.- Westminster Gazette.

Marked by the Devils Hoof.

Henry Rice, nh AGED negro who resides
OF did not more than q year ago, at Rolla
this state, makes what Is probably the
most remarkable claim that ever came
from the mouth of a hunnn being-viz,
that he has sold his soul to the devil and
hat his satanic majesty sealed the bargain
by putting his trademark on the uegro's
breast.
In support of this preposterous statement
Rice exhibits !; deep scar situated directly
over the heart, which appears to have been
burned deep into the flesh with q branding
iron about the shape and size of the hoof of
a 2-year Old heifcr. This scar, the old ne
gro declares. is the print or mark of the
devils hOof, and that it is a memorial of a
compact which he made with the king of
the sulphurous regions away back in slav-
cry days.
According to the terms of the contract,
the negro is to have supernatural powers
over his race during the few 1eeting days
that he remains il tenant on earth, and that
when all is over his soul is to 20, not to
God who gave it, but to the devil, who has
marked it Hs his own. When Rice and the
devil had settled on the conditions outlined
above, the less OF t~hrlrgro's soul placed
his clovcl hoof ovcrtlch heart of the wicked
old African and left / Sindelibie impress as
evidence Of his iulurc proprietary right to
burn the Old myN t. his hearts content
