Terrible ExpiosinD OF Dynamite at SAM
Eng tunder-l'nny Persons KILLED.
SANrANpEg. Spain, N9y. ; A terrible
explosion occurred here Friday night in
shich u0mbee OF persons were killed.
The ship N0ln. with cargo of dynamite,
was lying at quay when, in some way
not yet explained, she caught fire. A large
srovd spon gathered in the vicinity, and
5he police, who we're evidently unaware Of
the daeerous character of the ships
cargo, nude no attempt to drive them
away. The governor OF the province per-
soually directed the efforts of the firemen
to extinguish the flames. though he was
fully aware of the danger he and the other
fire fighters was in.
While every effort was being made to
quench the flames there suddenly was
heard dull roar, followed by report
which shook the city to it, foundations
Every house around the quay was wrecked
their walls being blown as though made Of
cardboard. The loss of life cannot yet be
stated with any degree Of accuracy. 1t is
known, however, that many persons were
killed, aud that very large number were
injured
The governor has not been seen since the
explosion. His secretary, who was stand
ing beside him when the explosion oc-
Cured. was stunned by the shock. When
ne regime his senses he looked for the
governor but could not find him. 1t is
feared that he was killed and that his
body was blown out into the bay. The
commandant of the Civic Guard and
many officials ami workmen were badly
injured. -.+.-..
The town was completely paralyzed by
the disaster and no attempt was subse-
quently made to extinguish the fire that
communicated to ali ,csut quays by
flaming brands thrown by the explnding
dynamite. kilograms were sent to Nalen
cia. Burgos aud Vallaloid, asking that
engines be sent on 81 rectal trains to fight

Hitherto the process in hrushmaking OF
punching the bristles and drawing them
into the holes has been performed by hand.
A machine Of peculiar ingenuity has just
been invented for this purpose, the bristles
being contained in n hopper, where they
rest horizontally at right angles on the top
Of disk. which by means of a treadie is
caused to partially rotate, first in one di-
rection and then in the other. The disk
has u notch formed in its periphery, and as
the notch passes under the bristles some of
them enter into the notch, before the disk
returns, plate joined Ia the disk is moved
and closes the mouth Of the notch, the disk
then comes back and carries away the tuft
of bristle retained in the notch to a position
from which it can readily be taken by the
fingers of the operative.
The whole arrangement is that of peck
er or gripper and can be regulated accord
ing to the quantity Of the material re-
qured to fill the hole, the operative passing
the wire through the hole by means of a
special needle fitted to clamp which is
held in the right hand, the loop being au-
tomatically formed. Into this loop the OPP
orator passes the tuft of bristles, pulls the
wire and thus draws the bristles into the
hole.-New York sun.
