A PAINFUL ACCIDENT.
Miss Bessie Reynolds Arm Run
 Through 8 Laundry Press.

Miss Bessie Reynolds, who is em- ployed at the American Excelsior Steam Laundry In this city, met with an accident this morning that was exceedingly painful. She was cleaning the roller press thatis used tor pressing collars and cuffs. The press consists of two revolving roll .ers, the upper one weighing several hundred pounds. While at her task one of the young lady's hands was caught by the revolving rollers and dragged between them. Her frantic efforts to release the arm were use- less and the member was drawn through to the shoulder. Messrs. List and Franklin went to the young lady's aid and threw the belt from the machine and succeeded in with drawing the arm. Where her arm
 was unprotected by her sleeve it was horribly burned. The entire arm was bruised severely. The rollers at the time of the accident, were raised about an inch, or else her en- tire arm would have been crushed
 to a pulp. As it was no bone was broken. Dr. Waters was summoned and dressed the bruised and burned arm. Miss Reyno.ds will be confin- ed to her home for several weeks.

Peanut Oil.

The production of peanut oil in this
country has hitherto been carried on in
a desultory way, and it has not been
much known as a commercial article
However, as the chemical composition
of the peanut has become better known
attention has been drawn to the food
value of the peanut meal and the pea
nut grits. 1t has been found that they
are richer in heterogeneous principles than
any Of the vegetable seed cakes, and a
demand has sprung up for them. So the
expression Of the oil has now been IN
dertaken Oh larger scale and with
more suitably designed presses. The
cold pressed oil is Of a PALE yellow color
and of pleasant flavor and odor. A very
slight refining produces a very agreea-
bic table oil for salads and general Gu
linary purposes. When once freed from
the free acid found in the raw state, it
does not tend to become rancid as readi-
ly as olive oil

A MoNoRAIL TRAM CAR.

neers of the company, is experimenting
the construction of the railway at Cabor-
ca. According to NJ. Caillett, the single
rail railway was invented only about
five years ago He states that he never
heard of it before then or heard that
anybody had tried it but the French
company for which he is engineer.
1t is. Nj Caillett says, very effective
on long hauls through a mountainous
country where the grade is irregular.
The car can be operated at very small
cost. as one mule or donkey can haul
a load weighing five tons, providing the
road is fairly level The track costs on
ly $500 mile, ties and all
A French mining company, Compa-
mia Nina San Salinas de Altar, of
which M. Lejeune, a we'll known Pari-
sian, is manager, is to operate the road
that is at present being constructed in
Sonora. This company has some very
rich gold and salt mines at San Salinas
in the Altar district, while the offices
and smelters of the company are located
at Caborca, a distance of % miles from
the town of San Salinas.
The monorail tramway will be used
in conveying gold ore from the mines to
the smelter and in transporting passen-
gers and provisions from Caborca to the
mines. The car is to have a capacity of
30 tons per day according to the con-
tract between the mining and the tram
way companies. The contract calls for
the use of only one car. By putting on
more cars capacity of $50 tons per day
caIr be reached.

Odd Things About Rainbows.

Did you ever see rainbow in the

In discussing this curious ques ton
the Philadelpbsa Times gives some

AS a matter of fact, it is always CON-

fact that the raindrops sre round AID

Ice Making.

The process of ice-makihg, also, is
simplicity itself in its general p:inci-
pies. The floor of t. e ice-room consists
of a number of small traps or man.
holes. These are full of salt water,
and in each is paced a metal ic cube
con aiming, pure fire b water. Around
these man-holes are run pipes, through
which is passed ammonia. Now this
ammonia is what lowers the temper
allure and reduces the water in the
metallic cubes to a solid mas OF ice
It takes about 30 hours. When frozen
and a Jet of hot water is spurted over
it. This loOsens the block of trsnspar-
emit crystal inside, which, thus freed
from it's jacket, shoots down into the
storage room below. But although
this process is simple in theory, iu
practice it is quite elaborate. The
greatest care is taken to have the ice
absolutely pure. Good, potable water
is used to work on. This il boiled and
the steam given off condenser, by
means of ammonia pipes, and after
wards passed through 10 less than
three di-tinct char coal filters. The re-
suit is liquid chemically pure. The
same distilled water is used in the
brewiog departing MT "a in the ice fac
tory, and it is also sold to the various
chemists and druggists in town. The
system in use here is that of Linde and
the capacity is 20 tons a day, which is
equal to over one thousand blocks,
each block weighing about as much as

PERSPECTIVE VIEW.

with the surroundings and will look well

Every man must live, and it is much
more important that he should properly
support his family than build a big house
he may not be able to pay for. Another
point to remember is that it is a difficult
thing to get a house built for less than the
cost of material and labor The market
price of each locality governs this, and it
is hard thing to deceive poor builder
into giving you 81 for rs cents Yet this
is precisely what many well intentioned
people do. They get their price liked and
then rattle on and plan and lay out some
times double what the money will pay for,
and when the builder figures up the cost
they are of course dulnfounded. 1t some
times happens they get builder who

the case of domestic fowls, wi .hou' re-
ference to the nationality OF the owner
or the original birth place of the fowls

White pine woodwork inside, instead Of
hard wood, is really very effective when
stained neutral green or finished in hard
oil. This effect can be carried throughout
the house or only in the lower portion.
Perhaps the woodwork painted white in
the chambers is more desirable for cleanli-
ness, and it certainly gives the up stairs
rooms cheerful aspect. Hardwood floors
