a Peculiar Accident.

That ono cannot be too careful in
handling anything belonging to cleo
trical plants is demonstrated by the
fire that consumed one Of the power
houses Of the Unicn Traction company
i'll Philadelphia. AT the hour of closing
an employee swung an enoromus crano
to which was attached very heavy
chain. The chain struck q generator
and shivered it to fragments. A terrific
explosion followed every circuit, and
all the dynamos which were running
wero blown out. Fire Immediately fol-
lowed the explosion, and the dynamos,
Of which there were eight. were either
destroyed or disabled, and tho entire in
hide of tho building was cleared out.
The loss was something like $500, 900,
largely on tho valuable machinery in
the building.-N York Ledger

A breathing Well.

In San Luis Obispo county, Cal, there
Is gas well whose strange conduct
is described by correspondent. The
well is inches In diameter and $50
feet deep. During settled weather 1t
blows out gas for three hours, and
then sucks in air for an equal period
of time, and this regular breathing
continues without interruption until
a change of weather. Before a storm.
when the barometer is falling, the
time during which the well expires gas
Is greatly increased, and sometimes the
outbreathing continues for "a hours.
After the passage Of the storm, anG
with the barometer rising, the inhala-
ton Of air is similarly prolonged. If
the air is shut off when an inhalation
is about to take place, the gas after
ward ceases to flow. SO that the well
must be- allowed to perform Its regu.
lar breathing in order to continue Its
yield of gas. An automatic valve has
been placed at the mouth Of the well
to permit the ingress OF air, and when
the opening is restricted the inward
suction causes loud sound, as If the
well served for nostrils 70 subter'

A Precious Cannon.

A cannon made of solid gold, mount
ed upon carriage of rosewood, inlaid
with costly gems, is the unique bauble
of warfare that has come into the pos
session of the imperial army of Ber-
lin. AS valuable acquisition to the
armament of the kaiser's own sold.ery
this unique field-piece is more interest
ing than terrible. No other armory
in the world can boast of field cannon
so beautiful or costly. THIS singular
gun was presented TO the Berlin army
by the managers of the Hamburg mu-
scum, in whose keeping it has been
for two centuries. Guns of this sor:
are not produced to-day, and a war is
made with cannon that are more effec.
tive in their destructive powers than
pleasing to the aesthetic taste. The
outward appearance of this monster
jewel is most delicate in workmanship.
1t is valued at 5000, though, as mat.
ter of fact, it could not be purchased
for twice that amount of money The
liveliest interest in this marvellous mill
tary engine has been evinced by En-
peror William, and he has ordered q
special guard to be placed over the
precious cannon, which, two days in
the week, is on view to curious Berlin
ers and the strangers within the Ger
man capitals gates.-Toledo Blade.
