should think a while, when asked
help by the Fire companies. They
should think that our fire depart
ment is entirely volunteer, and in
time of need, when the destructive
element will be devouring their
property, and their cry will DO to
the fire men for help; they will
have the Same right to refuse to
pump a drop of water on your
building as you had to refuse to
help them when they needed it,
and you refused it to them. Why

One Of the experiments made by
those whose business II is to test the
strength of dynamite. gun cotton and

piuckcd leaves between two plates Of
panel steel and explode cartridges on
the upper plate. The recoil in such
cases is so great and mdden that the
upper plate is driven downward VII
such force and rapidity as to catch
exact impressions of the leaves before
their delicate ribs have tine to- give
