BLOW Cold. Blow Hot.

Speaking Of problems, here is a little
question that may interest and puzzle
some of you,
Blow on your hand and you will see
how much cooler it grows. The more
you blow, the cooler you are.
Now blow on the bulb Of a thermom-
eter. Does it go down? Quite the CON
trary; it goes up and rapidly. too. That
shows plainly that your breath isn't
cool after all. How do you account for

A Bit of Medicine In Verse Form.
There are boys and girls-of course

always borrowing trouble. If there is
a storm they are certain the lightning

And they are SO fretful and full of

MORTON LlNELL WAS KILLED

so Badly Injured That ihey

Anaconda. Mont, Feb. 5.-Morton
Iineu was instantly killed by an ex-
plosion of a dozen sticks of giant pow
der in the oven of a stove at Wllllam
Zeba's silica quarry, three miles west
of this city, at II o'clock toady. Joseph
Mcintyre and George Bradley were IN
jured, and are now in Stanns hosplta1
in a critical condition.
The quarrymen have been accustomed
to thaw out the giant powder as much
as was needed for a days work, about
rs sticks, each day in the warming
oven, which is on the back Of the cook
stove. One of the men carried away Il
sticks and left as many more in the
oven. Mcintyre was in the cabin, hav-
ing been laid up from work by sick
ness. He was sitting with his feet
under the stove.
Bradley was the boss and had just
come in on an errand. He was about
three feet from the stove. Linell was
the cook and stood in front of the stove
at his work. He had on hot fire which
is supposed to have been the cause of
the disaster, overheating the powder.
The cook is blown into an unrecog-
IllldUlc AldSS, having no SemDldnce OF
man. Mcintyre will lose both hands;
Bradley has fractured skull
Two physicians worked steadily on
the injured men for six hours to dress
their many wounds. The cabin is
complete wreck The walls were blown
out and the roof raised in the air and
then fell upon the men, who were ex-
tricated by men from the quarry. I'M
der one of the hunks in the cabin was
half box of powder and about 40 feet
from the cabin door were three more
boxes, but none Of this exploded.
