DYN ANTE.

BERLIN, Jan. lG. The striking min
explosion in one of the mines Forum
ately no one was working near the
scene and nobody was killed, though a
number of miners at considerable
distance were thrown violently to the
ground. The explosion was of immense
force and wrecked the interior of the
mine in the neighborhood, causing
great damage, and will result in delay
while the galleries are repaired. The
number of strikers is decreasing daily,
and all hope OF the success of the strike
is gone.

explained that by the electric spark,
articles moving at the rate OF 10000
miles an hour can be photographed,
and by the introduction OF % revolv-

A Bohemian Lightning Rod.
A writer in the Popular Science
Monthly gives the following account
of tho construction OF tho lightning

bar formed the main part OF the NM
chine. Fastened to it were two cross
bars, thus making four arms, across
each OF which, in turn, shorter bar
was laid, aud each Of tho twelve eN.
tremites so affected bore n box filed
with shavings OF ironin which twenty
seven brass needles were stuck, max
ing three hundred and twonty.iour
needles in all, The main bar was sup
ported 10y wooden column sufficiently
high lorty-eight feet atiirst, aiterward
one hundred and thirty.two feet to
secure protection for tho building and
its immediate surroundings. Several
iron chains connected the main bar
with the earth, The effect Of tho ma.

Neutrality-suspicious.,
Scarcely had the rod been erected
when q storm came rushing on from
the north. Thunder.clouds hung
over Prendice, and occasionally white
shafts of lightning were seen darling
from the clouds and flying toward tho
conductor In n few minutes white
cloud enveloped the machine, and the
storm soon PASSED away without doing
any damage. For two yenrs Divis con
tinued experimenting with his light
ming rod, tho results were published
by DR.. Scrinci in the Prague News
1854. Having satisfied himself in re-
gard to the utility OF his new ma
chine, Divis offered to tho emperor n
plan for erecting n number OF con
ductors in various parts OF his empire.
The emperor submitted the plan to

THE ALLEY SYSTEM.
IG Has Reached High Degree of Deve
opment in the City of Denver.

IG Has Reached a High Degree of DeveI-
opment In the City of Denver.
The alley as it obtains in most cities
is nuisance, but the alleys in Denver,
Col, are not only convenience, but
add much to the business capacity of
that bustling town. There is one of
these narrow passageways in the mid
die of nearly every block in the bust
ness section of the city. They run
through from one street to the next,
and are as we'll paved and lool1en after
as the main streets themselves. For
the man in q hurry, who wishes to
make a short cut, their convenience is
apparent at glance; while to the firm
with large shipping department their
value can not be over-estimated, for
goods can be received and delivered
in any quantity without blocking up
the front of the store. The benefit of
this system is readily seen when a COM
parison is made with the large cities
throughout the country, where only
the business houses occupying corners
can utilize the side streets for shipping
purposes. Then, again, these alleys
answer another purpose which must
not be lost sight of. There are many
firms engaged in light manufacturing
which require a central location and
yet have no use for store with large
show windows. This is especially true
of the jewelry trade which depends
entirely on custom orders and does no
transient retail business. The in
creased rentals derived from having a
double row Of buildings facing thor
oughfare in the middle OF the block more
than makes up for the space lost on
account of the alley. If there is one
disadvantage about these alleys it is
the danger run by pedestrians. This is
due to the reckless driving seen every
where in the west. 1t is nothing
strange to see wagon with a led horse
on each side come tearing through
these alleys, and as the passage is rath-
er narrow the pedestrian is lucky who
finds himself near doorway. Hereto
fore these alleys have been paved with
asphalt or macadam, but the use of
brick is now being considered. The
first brick one has just been finished.
1t is claimed to be better than asphalt
and cheaper than macadam. If it
proves SO, brick will probably be used
entirely in the future. - Mechanical

An Historic Coincidence.

The death of Thomas Jefferson and
John Adams formed a remarkable coin
cidence. They died on the Fourth OF
July, 1926, almost at the same hour
They were both members of the COM
mittee that framed the declaration of
independence; both signed it; both had
been American ministers at European
courts; both had been vice-presidents
and presidents of the United States,
and both had lived to a great age. Adj
ANS died at Quincy at the age of almost
Dinety-one years; Jefferson died at
Monticello, Va, at the age of almost
eighty-four years. They died exactly
fifty years almost to an hour after
they had cast their votes in favor of the
declaration of independence. Boston

THE London Spectator says that
the heirs to the crowns Of Germany,
Britain, Greece, Roumania, Hesse and
Saxe-Coburg are now all descendants
of Queen Victoria; and what with one
marriage and another, the whole Of
the non Catholic monarchiss of
Europe, those of Turkey and Servia
excepted, form kind offamily party.
Every reigning person in Europe, with
the aforesaid exceptions, is in some
way a descendant of Henry the
Fowler, which would seem to initiate
against the idea that intermarriages
cause degeneracy. Sovereign houses
rarely produce beauty, the Wittels-
bachs being a marked exception; but
the heirs of Europe would not make
bad troop of dragons.

''And it is hereby declared to be the

equality to be secured through inter-

Jefferson.

Ferdinand Schilling, an inmate of
the jefferson County house, was struck
by an east bound train on the Madison
division of the &. q N. w. railway near
Helenville last Sunday night and in
stantly killed. His right side was bad
ly crushed, his Eeck shoulder, ribs and
other bones being broken. Schilling
had strayed away from the county
farm sometime during Sunday after
noon and as he was missed search was
made for him. 1t is believed he start
ed for his former home near Johnson's
Creek, but being old and rather de-
mented got on the wrong route. The
circumstances surrounding Schilling's
case are rather peculiar not to say
heartless. He was man at one time
OF some property and with his children
moved to Iowa from this section. His
children succeeded in getting posses
sion OF his property and then turned
the old man adrift. A ticke was pur-
chased to jefferson and Schilling put
aboard the train. Arriving here pen
nlless he was committed to the Jeffer-
son county poor house as pauper. The
loss of his property and the ignoble
manner in which he was treated by
his worthless offspring preyed upon his
mind and his only idea was to regain
possession of his stolen rights. Schil-
ling's body was taken to jefferson
junction and from there conveyed to
the county farm for burial. He was
so years old at the time of bis death.
Numerous depredations were COM
mitted in this city and immediate vi
entity last Friday night by gang of
tramps. The st. Johns church was
broken into and an amount of money
taken from the contribution box. The
st. Johns parsonage was also visited
and eatables and other articles taken.
