A picturesque figure, in more than
one sense, disappears from the stage
of life's activities by the death of Mrs.
Amelia j. BIOomer, which occurred
at Council Bluffs, Iowa, Sunday. Mrs.
Boomers maiden name was jerks,
and she was born in Homer, n. Y, in
1913. She married Dexter c. Bloom
er of Seneca Falls in 1910, and after
wards became noted as a lecturer on
temperance and woman's rights.
Later she, with Mrs. Elizabeth Cady
Stanton and others, undertook to
encourage dress reform for women by
introducing what was known as the
Boomer costume, consisting of a
short skirt, full trousers and the or.
binary bodice or dress waist. But
the innovation raised a storm oil
abuse and ridicule. Mrs. BloomeI
wore the costume for seven or eight
years and then abandoned it. She
possessed marked intellectual ability
and her husband was also prominent
and iufuent in his time, holding sew.
eral public positions, including thoss
of Judge and postmaster at Seneca
Falls. In the latter Office Mrs. Bloom.
er acted as d. putty. Since 1853 Judge
and Mrs. BIoumpr have lived in Ohio
and Iowa. 1t is a suggestive fact
that Mrs. Bloomer died just as her
modified costume" is becoming
very common, many ladies wearing
adaptations of it for bicycling, hunt
ing and other outdoor exercise.

How Edwin Booths Company Once Ended
"The Merchant of venice.r

Edwin Booth told the following story:
Once during the days of his early strug
gles young Booth was "barn storming"
down in Virginia, at a place called Lees
Landing The improvised theater was a
tobacco warehouse, and 1t was crowded by
the planters for miles around Booth and
his companions had arranged to take the
weekly steamer expected late that night
and between tho acts were busy packing
up. The play was "The Merchant of Ven.
Ice" and they were just going on for the
trial scene when they heard the whistle,
and the manager came running In to say
that the steamer had arrived and would
leave again in half an hour AS that was
their only chance for q week of getting
away they were in n terrible quandary.
"If we explain matters" said the man
ager, "the audience will think they are
being cheated and we shall have free
fight. The only thing is for you fellows tc
get up some sort of naturalliko impromptu
ending for the piece and ring down the
curtain. Go right ahead, ladies and gen.
tlemen, and take your cue from Ned here. "
And no hurried away to get the luggage
aboard.
"Ned," of course, was Booth, who re-
solved to rely upon tho ignorance Of the
Virginians of those days to pull him
through. So when old George Rugglcs,
who was playing Shylock, began to sharp
en- his knife on his boot Booth walked
straight up to him and said solomnly,
"You are bound to have the flesh, are youH''
"You bet your life, " said Ruggles.
"Now, I'll make you one more offer, y
continued Booth. "In addition to thi;
bag OF ducats I'll throw in two kegs Of mig
gerhead terbac, shotgun and couple OF
the best coon dogs In the state"
"I'm blowed If don't do it, " responded
Shylook, much to the appreciation of the
audience, who were tobacco raisers and
coon hunters to man. "And to show
that there is no i'll feeling, put in Portia
"we'll wind up with Virginia reel. u
When the company got aboard the steam
er, the captain, who had witnessed tn,
conclusion Of the play, remarked; "l'C
like to see the whole Of that play some
time, gentlemen. I'm blessed if thought
that fellow Shakespeare had so much snap

Explosive Power of Nitroglycerin.

Whoever works with high grade explo-
sives must take his life in hand. Some of
the accidents that have occurred in the
course of the manufacture and handling OF
such materials are as interesting as they
are shocking. Recently man driving
two horses to u wagon carrying 1900
pounds of nitroglycerin met with some
accident and upset his load. The team,
wagon and driver were simply reduced to
undiscoverable atoms. A fragment of the
mans clothing, found over mile from
the scene of explosion, was all that could
be traced as having belonged to a human
being. Bits of the horses were found miles
away, and some small pieces of the wood
and metal of the wagon. In the adjacent
fields cattle were killed by the shock, and
in towns around the country horses ran
away with fright windows were broken
and buildings were shattered. Almost all
of the window glass in the houses for sew
eral miles around was broken, and q hole
was made in the earth IL feet deep, go feet
across at the top and 30 at tho bottom.
When such explosions occur with the en-
tirely unconflned product, it is not diff
cult to imagine what might happen were
this dangerous compound shut In and cir

ELECTRIC LIGHTING.
Tho System Has Come to Stay. but It Is
StIlI Crude.
Tho sy

An expert points out that while in the
early days of electric lighting people
thought much more of the mere fact Of
having the electric light thnn Of the actual
efficiency they derived from it, the consum-
er of today is usually perfectly we'll able
to tell whotlssr he IL getting full value In
light for the money he is paying the CEN
trail station; SO that between the strict sx-
action of the customer and the compcti-
tion Of rival lighting systems an electric
light company can only hope to succeed by
the best possible service.
The whole subject of lighting is in a
transition state. In factories and large
shops the practice Of allowing the rays OF
the arc lamp TO fall downward will proba-
bly, soon be discarded. 1t is found that by
iHverting the lamp and throwing the light
to the roof, which should be whitewashed
or white painted, the powerfully reflected
rays are so different throughout the build
ing as to give the maximum efficiency
without straining tho eyes of the work
men. Much OF the present outdoor light
ing Is condemned as crude and unsoien-
tiflc. The street arc lamps dazzle and
strain the eye, throw sharp shadows and
waste light. The next improvement will
probably be the Use of lower candle power
lamps, placed at shorter intervals and
having rejecting hoods. Tho bottom half
of the globe will be semiopaque and pos
sibly tinted deep orange color. This
would ncutralizc tho painful glaro of tho
arc lamp and givo the streets the effect of
being illuminated with Chinese lanterns.
In domestic lighting shades having
prismatic corrugations on their surfaces
are coming into vogue. They give good
diffusion of light, with but lttle absorp-
ton. An authority on decorative lighting
says that, although many new ideas have
sprung up In the distribution OF masses Of
light in interiors, none has yet superseded
in beauty and effectiveness the system OF
putting lamps out Of sight and lighting
the room entirely by ditfused and possibly
colorcd light. This will probably be the
method of illuminating churches In the
future. In churches where it has already
been adopted the effect is described as so
infinitely restful and appropriate that in
comparison the ordinary methods of church
lighting seem garish and barbarous.- -
New York Times.
