JOHN sANDBERa's AWFUL DEATH.


He Was Roasted In the Flues Of . Great
Falls 0melter.
GREAT FALLS, Mont. April Al Special. ]
Some chsrred and partially incinerated
bones, all that remain of the body of John
Sandberg, an employe of the Boston and
Montana smelter here, were taken out Of
the big inclininR f1ue connecting with the
300-foot smoke stack at the copper works.
Last night the fires IN the smelter we're ex-
tingutshed in order to search for the re-
mains of the ill-fated furnaceman. who
disappeared mysteriously on April 3
When last seen he went into one of the
rotary roasters from which the fire had
been drawn intending to remove the Stag
from its side.
From the evidence adduced at the coro-
ner's inquest held today, it seems that he
was slightly intoxicated when he went
into the furnace. The supposition IL that
he fell asleep and on waking was be-
wildered. 30 that instead of leaving the
furnace by the way he entered he crawied
through the intake and fell into the flues.
There he must have been instantly as
phyxiated by tho terrible heat and deadly
gas coming from the furnaces. A knife
found near the bones was identified by
some Of the smelter men ~ belonging to
Sandberg.

VANcouvKl, April M-fSpecial. This
city was startled this evening by the re-
port that Mrs. James Edwards, wife of
James Edwards. of the Manor house. had
shot herself. She was admittedly ono of
the prettiest women in this city. and had
q little daughter, . winsome child. Her
husband is son Of Col. Edwards, proprie-
tor of the Manor house, the second largest
hotel in the city, and he has been assisting 8
his father in the management. Mrs. Ed
wards name has been lightly used several
times. and once her husband had q fight
with . well-known surveyor on her
account. but no sin was ever proven
against her. and some of them were traced
to people who were attracted by her beauty
but were repulsed. She lived away from
the hotel in suburb called Yaletown, in
a small house not overly we'll furnished.
She came up town today and purchased .
new 44-caliber bulldog. self-cocking re-
volver.
She was seen up town looking a. bright
as ever about 2 p. m. She saw her little
girl. and seemed affectionate enough. At
about O'Clock she shot herself at her
home, the bullet entering her breast. The
surgeons say she cannot possibly survive.
She has been either unable or unwilling to
make any statement. and the cause gen.
orally accepted is disappointment at her
inability to move in that society that her
charming manners and education fitted
her for. She was an Australian by birth,
aged about 25 years.

The Ames Millions.

The late Frederick L. Ames of
Massachusetts, of unnumbered mil
lions, was a man of. wide education
and culture. He was a great collect
or of paintings, orchids and rare OBJ
iects of art. He was a director in
scores of railroad companies and was
of the governing body of Harvard
college, whose degree he held. The
beginning of the Ames' millions may
be traced back to one blacksmith
who made better shovels and picks
than any other blacksmith Of his
time. Thenceforward the history of
the family runs through the devel-
opment Of their special calling from
a single small shop in small town
in southeastern Massachusetts to an
industrial establishment as celebratr
ed in it's way as the Krupps' at Es-
sen; the building of a railroad sys-
tenn binding the Atlantic shore to
the Pacific slope and the highest
ranges of the highest finance.-Bos-
ton Transcript.

Before and After.

The peculiar perversity with which
woman sets out to improve her per-
sonal charms by reversing natures
handiwork is illustrated in the adj
vertising columns Of the publications
intended for white women readers
and those printed for circulation in
colored fashionable circles. The
white sisters vanity and love Of the
beautiful is appealed to by notices of
curling tongs, crimping irons and
other devices for curling, waving Or
otherwise twisting the hair from it's
natural straightness. The colored
sister is tempted by notices Of To-
tons and ingenious mechanical de-
vices warranted to take the kink out
of the woolliest locks. Pictures Of
Before and AFTER accompany
each class of advertisement. One
pair in a prominent colored weekly
shows, in two column cuts, what
seems to be a native Kaf1ir and a
Sioux Indian maiden, the former la
beled Before the latter After. ;"

Their Brains Weighed Over Sixty Ounces
A noted physician wrote me soon
after the death of Benjamin F. But
Ter to inquire as to the weight of
Daniel Webster's brain He declared
that the figures were not to be found
in any medical work in his library,
and that he doubted if one out of a
hundred of the physicians of the
United States could answer the ques-
ton offhand. In looking up the mat
ter l prepared the following list of
noted persons who have had 60 or
more ounces of brains, as far as ex.
aminations have been made:
Turgenef, Russian novelist, II
ounces; Schiller, German poet, 60;
Abercrombie, Scotch physician, 60;
Culver, French naturalist, 65-5; Aber-
crombie, English general, 60; Du-
puytren, French anatomist, 62.5;
B. F. Butler, American general and
lawyer, G2 ounces even.-St. Louis

Cinnamon and Reaches.

One of the strangest superstitions
of Chinese cooks is the awe with
which they regard the cockroach.
John holds the ugly black pest as
something sacred, claiming that it is
specially favored by the gods and a
particular favorite of the great Joss.
The most unfortunate mishap that
can befall a Ghinaman is to step on a
cockroach. Instantly visions of ter
rible disasters and calamities arise
before him. In some instances the
superstition has been known to prey
so on the minds Of the Celestials as
to drive them insane. Exchange.

Now Process of Galvanizing.

Among the recent experimental
processes with iron and other metals
is a new process Of galyanlzing
which would appear to have some
advantages over the older method
of stepping articles in molten zinc,
the claim being that by cold galvan-
ling a more uniform coating is OBJ
tanned, and in the case of wire the
tensile strength is not diminished.
Comparative tests of the hardness of
the coating on iron sheets show that
the plate thus galvanized has some
what harder surface than that OBJ
tanned by the usual means.
An equally interesting result of re-
cent Investigations in the coating of
metal surfaces with glass, in which
operation there are melted together
about 1875 parts by weight Of ordi-
nary flint glass fragments, 20 parts
carbonate Of sodium and ~ parts of
boric acid. The fused mass is poured
out upon some cold surface, as of
stone or metal, and pulve1ized when
cool. Then of this mixture a pow
der is made with siicate of soda, wa
ter, glass solution 90 degrees Baume
and with this coat the metal is
glazed, being heated in a muffle or
other furnace until it has arrived at
the requisite fusion. This coating is
represented as adhering very firmly
to steel OF iron.-New York Sun.

AbSentnlintled Texans,

Vernon has several absentminded
people. One fellow is so absent
minded that while he was writin 9
and smoking a cigar he put the lead
pencil in his mouth and went ahead
writing with the cigar and did not
discover his mistake until he put the
fire end of the cigar in his mouth,
thinking he was wetting the lead
pencil. Another who is troubled this
way was one day hurrying with a
big package which he wished to ex-
press, and seeing that he could not
get to the depot in time laid down
the package so that he could run fast
er, and after a had run reached the
train, but was surprised that he did
not have the package.-Vernon Tex

Perils Of t:ss Far North.

The whole region is one Of severe
cold, and the sea is frozen over tho
greater part of the year, land and
water becoming almost indistinguish-
able but for the incessant movement
and drift Of the sea ice. In summer
the sea ice breaks up into foes, which
may drift away southwark and melt
or be driven by the wind against the
shores of continents or islands, leav-
ing lanes of open water which shift
of wind may change and close in an
hour.
Icebergs launched from the glaciers
of the land also drift with the tide,
current and wind through the more
or less open water. Possibly at some
time the pack may open and clear
waterway run through to the pole,
and old whalers tell of many year
when they believed that few days
steaming would have carried them
to the end of the world, if they could
have seized the opportunity. AT
other times routes traversed in safety
time after time may be effectively
closed for years and all advance
barred.
Food in the form of seal or walrus
in the open water, reindeer, musk OK,
polar bears or birds on the land may
often be procured, but these sources
cannot be relied on. Advance north
ward maybe made by water in a
ship, or by dog sledge, or on foot
over the frozen snow or ice. Each
method has grave drawbacks. Ad-
vance by sea is stopped when the
young ice forms in autumn, and land
advance is hampered by the long
arctic night, which enforces months
of inaction, more trying to health
and spirits than the severest exer-
tion.-McClure's Magazine.
