Who ever heard of sawdust explos-
ions? They are common enough in
Canada. Navigation on the Ottawa
times by the explosion of sawdust, and
the dominion government has at last
decided to take steps to prevent any
practice which will enhance the pos
sibility of these explosions taking
place. One would hardly suppose that
sawdust dumped into the river would
In course of time reform itself into a
gas generator which would keep the
surface of the stream in constant
state of upheaval. But it Is true to
such an extent that small boats have
been capsized and large vessels have
been injured by the submarine con-
. yulsions.
The bottom Of the Ottawa river Is
covered with deep layer of sawdust
dumped there by the lumbermen, who
have carried on their log-cutting in
dustry on its banks and tributaries for
years. The dust, becoming water soak
ed, sinks to the bottom, and in the
course of time rots and generates a
highly explosive gas. The latter rises
TO the surface, each bubble being join
ed or reinforced by other bubbles on
the way up. Contact with air seems
to be as destructive as touchfire to this
gas, and the moment the surface is
reached it explodes with loud report.
Legislation may in time do away with
the annoyance, but even If no more
sawdust Is thrown into the stream
henceforth, the millions of tons al
ready there will take long time to
work off their gas-generatlng qualities.

LITERARY NOTES.

An article of special timely value in
the June Ladies' Home Journal, by
Mrs. S. I. Rorer, tells what fruits are
healthy and which of them are unfit
for food. 1t very surprisingly shows
that some of the fruits in most general
use are the most unwholesome, and
consequently unfit for food. Indeed,
the article upsets many prevailing and
accepted ideas regarding fruit, and is
of great value in pointing out which to
eat and which to leave alone.
The Review of Reviews has an elab-
crate spout on Gen. Alexis n. Kuro.
patkin, the new commander in chief of
the Russian army, among other things
lauding his literary works. Kuropat-
kin's chief product is the History of the
Balkan Crusade, which for enthusiastic
and circumstantial lying is not excelled
by the reports of Valerian Weyler in
regard to the. Spanish victories in
Cuba. AS for the military achieve
ments of the aforesaid Kuropatkin, it
is probable that nothing in Europe in
the last hundred years has exceeded the
general incompetence shown by the
Russian generals in Turkey in '77-7S,
though of course, there were notable
exceptions, like Tod]eben, Gourko and
SkObeleff.

HE JUMPED THE JOB.

In trying to get out of some ambig-
uity one of our contemporaries refers
to the Spartan determination OF the
compositors to follow copy"
That reminds me: 1t was about fif-
teen years ago, on the Shutdown Tribune
before the Linotype had ruined the
printing business. A new "sub'' had
arrived. 1t was his first night on a
daily, and the mysterious marks on the
copy were all Greek to him. He'd get
a piece of copy, and go up to the fore
man and ask questions, like this,
"What's the meaning of that blue line
down the center of the page:" The
foreman grew tired. Finally John
came up, and was CURLY told to "follow
copy" He went back to his case, and
was not heard from for some time, but
it was plain that he was angry. Well
about II o'clock John got a piece of
manifold market report, and when he
laid it on his case draught caught up
the flimsy stuff and carried it out of
the window. Well, the Tribune com
posing room was on the seventh floor
John looked reproachfully out of the
window, and his temper was not i'm
proved. He sided toward the foreman
intending to tell his mishap, but the
foreman saw him coming and called
out sharply Follow copy, tell you.
'I'll see you blank dashety BANKED
before l do" remarked John, as he put
on his coat and left.

LOCAL FORUM.

We have this week received only two
answers to the question propounded in
the Local Forum" last week as to the
especial advantage of American Citi-
Zenshlp. This denotes lack Of inter
est on the part of the boys and that
feature will therefore be discontinued
The answers received, are as fol-
lows:
American citizenship is by all means
more advantageous than allegiance to
a monarchy. In this particular point
it is more SO. n born American can
become the head of the nation while a
subject of monarchy never dreams of
such a thing t. C.. 4427.
If you are a citizen of the United
States, and should call on the Presi-
dent there is not any particular mode
of greeting exacted of you. You can
halloa "hello, Bill" or good morning,
Mack" or anything like that. Bill
may not be overjoyed at your famil.
iarity but it would be all right espe-
cially if he was expecting to run again
for office. Ii you were citizen of
Siam and should visit Bangkok
to pay your respects to the king it
would be necessary when you were
ushered into his presence to drop down
in humiliating attitude while the
royal humbug extends his paw for
you to kiss. Of course you must kiss
it in reverence to his exalted rank; to
refuse to do so would be crime too
terrible to contemplate. AS we Amer.
leans are not fond of kissing, unless
the kisseree is good looking and of the
opposite sex, the custom would never
take root in America. That is one
reason why it is better to be an Amer
lean citizen than subject of some
monarch. There are others.

WAR REPORTS.

1t is not generally known that Ad-
miral Cervera has on board one of his
ships a submarine torpedo boat, said
tobe complete success. This makes
it an especially dangerous task to
guard the harbor of Santiago at night
and may perhaps in measure explain
the conduct of the Spanish admiral in
allowing himself to be enclosed in
that harbor. They might sneak out
some night and make a second Maine
out of one of our battle ships. We
respectfully call the attention of the
powers that be to this.

HE CHANNEL HIS MIND.

John Henry went to see his best girl
last night. The President had called
for 10000 more volunteers, and John
would be one of them. Statira was
not very enthusiastic on the subject,
but John was full of it. The time of
parting drew near. This is what hap
pened.
Statira-Must you really 60, John?
"The nation calls and my duty is at
the front. My country has the first
claim, and glory awaits me-
Statira puts her cheek on his coat
collar and large tears roll down her
nose.
Now, don't be foolish. III come
back colonel, at least. Don't cry"
