Chaplain of the Illinois House Makes
Prayer Out of the Usual
Order.

Springfield, ILL.,, June 3.-The chaplain OF
the house, the Rev. David G. Bradford,
opened proceedings with the following fer
vent prayer:
Almighty God, we seek Thy presence
and blessing at the beginning of another
days diligent labor. Help u.s. we pray
Thee, in the discharge of this days duties.
Help these men to remember the poor, tax
burdened people of this great state. Con-
tract, we pray Thee, the capaciouS NAV
of the penal. reformatory, charitable and
educational institutions of Illinois. May
they learn to be content with less money,
and may we who refuse to worship a gold
en- calf refuse also to worship gold in any
other form. Forbid that any foreigner Wis
iting our shores shall ever again have oc-
casion to write:
Money, money is all their cry;
Moneys the total sum
Give us money. or else we die.
Oh, let the money come,
and We will ever give Thee endless praise.
amen
This prayer was greeted with enthusi-
aStic applause.

Is Smoke an ExplOsiyes

A new explar alton comes from Phila-
delphia for the fact, long ago noticed
by all who have had any experience
with burning buildings that fire
which has long smoldered. in one part of
. structure will often spread almost
instantly to all other parts of it the
moment q door or window is opened.
This usual theory is that the flames
leap into activity because of an increas-
ed supply of oxygen, but this hardly
accounts for the surprising rspidity
with which every floor Of large bues-
ness block or dwelling is. sometimes
swept by fire that has previously con
fined itself for hours to single room
or part of room: Experiments re-
fetal in the city mentioned go far to-
ward showing that smoke itself, in GER
tain conditions, is both inflamable and
explosive. This he demonstrated by
means of an apparatus consisting of
q deep, round tin can inverted
over q smaller can and q
gas burner. Smoke was produced by
placing hay, grain, wood and other
materials in the small can and heating
them over the gas burner, the smoke
produced being caught in the large
can. In the bottom of the latter was
placed some excelsior. An opening in
the inverted can permitted the air to
be driven out, and then the opening
was closed. When the can became
filed with smoke, the heat of which
was not sufficient to ignite the excel
sior, q flame placed near the open end
caused an explosion and set fire to it
The force of this explosion depends
largely upon the material used to pro-
duce the smoke, smoldering malt Civ
ing the maximum result, and old rags
also producing q strong explosion.
From this experiment the deduction
was that building filed with smoke
is threatened with quick and speedy
destruction, and that some means to
clear it of the finely divided carbon
should be used Spraying each room
with water will accomplish this, fact
that was clearly demonstrated in the
course of these experimentation
