POWDER WORKS EXPLOSION.
Seven Persons Killed and Perhaps More
Four Seriously Hurt,


Santa Cruz. Cal, April 27.-Three ex-
plosions about Sis yesterday afternoon
at the California Powder works caused
greater loss of life than any of the
previous accidents in the history of
these works. The widest rumors were
prevalent regarding the number of
Killed and injured, the exact number Of
which cannot be ascertained at this
writing. 1t is known that seven were
killed and four seriously injured, as
follows: Killed - Edward Kilderan.

The first heavy shock from the ex-
plosion was felt for many miles around.
and was separately followed by two
lighter shocks. The smoke from the
works arose in such volumes that 1t
was impossible for time 20 perceive
the extent of :he damage that had been
caused by the explosion. 1t was said
that the fire was spreading and the
main magazine was in imminent dan
ger. The bugle call was accordingly
sounded for members of the California
naval reserve who responded promptly,
hurrying to the mills and assisting the
corps of fire-fghters already on the
grounds.

BISHOP IN TRAMP'S RAGS.
Ri. Rev. DR.. Coleman, Of Delaware
Sleeps in Barns on His Vacation.

Philadelphia Record.
Tramping incognito 235 miles in the
mountains of West Virginia, sleeping in
barns and a school house mending clocks
and umbrellas for farmers, and arousing
the pity of the country folk was the way
Ri. Rev. Leighton Coleman, Episcopal
bishop of the diocese of Delaware, spent
his annual vacation. The bishop returned
about midnight, coming by train from
Harper's Ferry, w. Va He greatly en-
joyed his outing, and after few hours
sleep resumed his duties in Wilmington
to-day officiating at the corner stone
laying of the Girls Industrial School of
Delaware.
The bishop left Wilmington for his out
ing two weeks ago, going to Martnsburg,
w. Va. Then his tramp into the noun
tans began. He crossed the Blue noun
tains several times attended court at
Grafton, w. Va, and at Tunnelsville, w
Va, was at a political meeting being adj
dressed by a candidate for Congress. The
stranger was invited to make a speech,
but the bishop never takes part in poll
tics.
Bishop Coleman, on his tramp, wore a
SLOUGH hat, heavy shoes, long macintosh
and carried a staff. He travelled in all
sorts of weather over all kinds Of roads
Frequently as he was trudging along the
road some kind hearted farmer would stop
his team and call to the pedestrian to
Jump aboard remarking You are too
old to walk And the farmer would be
amazed when his invitation was declined.
Others would stare at him. and he could
overhear remarks: It's a pity that he
has to walk. l wish I could help him."
The bishop is an adept at clock repair
ing. Most Of his nights were spent at
farm houses, where the bishop usually
paid for a nights lodging. But some
times the farmers would refuse to take
pay. Then the bishop would spy a clock
that was not running, and he would
quickly repair it, to the delight Of his
host Others would have broken UNI
brellas, which the bishop would mend.
and he did all sorts of tinkering Jobs
about the farms. Some dark nights. how
ever. the bishop was not so lucky in get
ting good bed in a farmers house in
which to sleep.
At one place where he knocked for adj
mission he was informed that the house
was full and he could not sleep even on
the floor So the bishop journeyed until
he came to a dilapidated looking barn
Into this he crept and of new hay he made
bed on which he slept during the night,
the crdckets singing him into the land of
dreams
Another night the bishop had bad luck
He did not know where to sleep He,
however fortunately came upon a school

s'THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT."

The tallest and the lowest buildings
in the world are to be found in Ameri-
ca. The smallest of all buildings used
for human habitation are the ice huts
of the Eskimos OF Greenland. These
huts, which are formed of bricks of
ice about two feet thick, only rise
about four feet above the level of the
surrounding snow. They have one
exit, which is an underground passage
just large enough for one person to
crawl through.
The highest structures on earth are
the modern ''skyscrapers." The illus
tration shows the latest and tallest of
these buildings. 1t is the WINS Syndi-
cate building, 80 stories high, in New
York. 1t has just been finished. AS
the builders of ancient Egypt left their
mark upon history with the vast tombS
of their kings, as medieval Europe i'm
mortalized itself in it's Gothic cathe
drals, SO the "skyscraper" is the stone
monument of the closing years of the
nineteenth century. 1t may not be a
thing of beauty, it may darken our
streets and have other drawbacks, but
it has come to stay.
The modern skyscraping structures,
besides rising several hundred feet in
to the air. also extend down many
stories below the surface Of Mother
Earth, so that when the height of a
building is given the measurement
should be from the floor of the deepest
basement. The weight of such a build
ing is enormous. and to support it
solid rock must be reached. In many
cases, after drilling a great distance,
this is not found. and calssons are
sunk till the rock is reached, and the
building rests on these artificial sup
ports. In some places, as in Chicago,
where the whole city stands on shifting
sand, the big office buildings rest on
immense plates of steel laid on the
earth.

A POISON USED.
Method of Wholesale Slaughter
of the MOSQUITO.

The Mexican Central Railway Com
pany is engaged in a new experiment
which, if it is all that is claimed for it,
will be of inestimable value to the resi-
dents of this city. To show how earn
est they are in the matter, they have
created new office-that of mosquito
commissioner-and the portfolio was
awarded to Captain George c. Sperry,
superintendent of telegraphs for the
company.
Experiments in different parts of the
United States, and in New Jersey in
particular, have demonstrated the fact
that the determination of the mosquito
can be accomplished.
An exchange, in discussing the mat
ter, said:
Scientific investigation has disclos-
hefact that few grains Of perman-
ganate of potash will destroy all the
embryo mosquitoes in very large area
of mosquito swamp. At two cents an
acre all the mosquitoes can be killed
off for space of thirteen days, and as
the breeding time is but two months,
four cents will assure protection for
the entire year. This places it within
the possibility of a state, and certainly
a city, to entirely rid itself of great
nuisance"
April and May are the two months in
which mosquitoes breed. They are
purely local in their habits. and not
migratory, as some suppose, and they
seldmon move more than hundred
feet from the place of their birth.
Hence, to exterminate the breed in
certain locality would rid that locality
of the pest for that season at least, and
the method of determination is so in
expensive that an entire community
may be rid of them at a very small ex-
