A Strange ExplCsion.

\ singular accident, the cause Of
which is somewhat obscure, occurred
recently in Brooklyn, New York. Two
men We're busy in steam engine fac
tory breaking up an old brass plum
ger" from the water cylinder of a
steamship. The plunger was two feet
long and six inches in diameter, and
its walls We're tive-eighths of an inch
ihtck. 1t was first placed in red-hot
oven to soften the metal. Then one Of
the men struck it n violent blow wita
Il Sledge hammer. 1t exploded with Il
noise like the discharge of cannon
The workmen were so badly mangled
that both We're compelled to undergo
amputation. one losing both legs AMI
the other one leg. The accident was
aScribed to the absorption of moisture
in the pores of the brass, and the sub
sequent turning of the moisture into
steam by the sudden heating in the
oven. The blow of the hammer, it was
thought, released the pent-up force Of
the steam, and thus caused the eXplo-
sion.

A few days ago the residents of the
southern portion of the county had
their attention directed to n herd of
thirty-tive cows which were being driv-
en- out Mission road to San Mateo Coun-
ty. On Mch of the animals was a COW
ering consisting of four ordinary bar
ley sacks sewed together. The blanket
was fastened by cords to the legs of
the cows and tied about the neck. The
cows belonged to Koostri Brothers of
the Holstein dairy, near the Five-NIile
house. They were being driven to n
ranch in San Mateo County, about five
miles south of Colma, near the ocean
shore. George Koostri, one of the own
erS of the cows, said the idea was COM
mon in the cold countries of Northern
Europe. THE ranch we own in San
Mateo County" he said. lis situated
very close to the ocean. The climate is
cold. The breeZes which blow from
the sea are very penetrating. Our cows
would be chilled and we would be un-
able to allow them to pasture if we did
not provide them with some covering
to resist the cold. In some of the Eu-
ropean countries the cows are blanket
ed in the winter months and kept In a
large inclosure, They are not allowed
out, but are fed in stable. This lasts
In some places from Nov. l to May l.
We have thirty-tive cows out on the
ranch. Every one wears a blanket.
which will not be removed until they
return TO the city, about three months
from now. The climate here is much
warmer in comparison to what 1t is
along the seashore in San Mateo. The
people who watched us driving the
herd to the ranch thought that the cows
were sick. They We're very healthy, !
can assure you.'-San Francisco Ex.
