Boiler on the KOkatt Farm Ex-
ploded Without the Slight
est Warning.
Edgar Bingham Sustained a
Broken Leg and Other
Serious Injuries,
Two Others Slightly Injured.
Separator is Damaged
Greatly.

sion on the Kokatt farm indicate that 1t
was rather lucky that more persons were
not hurt. It seems that the separator
was a new one and there was quite q
number OF visitors present to see how
the machine worked. ). A. Sullivan,
an agent for the separator company was
present. The engine had been used three
years and the governors we're so regulat-
ed that sufficient speed was not given to
the machinery. The agent adjusted
the governors OF the engine so that it
would run at higher rate Of speed.
Less than minute after the engine was
started the explosion took place.
There was not the slightest warning.
Ed. Bingham was unloading bundles
from wagon to the self-feeded OF the
separator. He was struck by flying
pieces OF iron and sustained broken
leg and jaw bone and bad bruise over
one eye. He is in precarious condi-
ton. Pete Kokatt was acting as en-
gineer and fireman. He was slightly
injured. Albert Kokatt Sr. was struck
on the forehead by some missile but
was not seriously burt. Bingham Is y
cousin Of George Newland of this city.
The separator was damaged consider
ably. The seli-feeder was completely
ruined. There is no question but that
three men would have been killed had
the machine been without a self-teeder.
The weigher was broken of and twisted
as was also the grain spout.
When the explosion occurred al! the
teams ran away and there was much
confusion. Bingham was found under.
meath load of bundles which had been
upset. Pete Koketts mother was stand
ing near the engine but was unhurt'
The boiler OF the engine was construct
cd on the return fue plan and it was at
the point where the eeotioos lap to.
gether about the middle OF the boiler
that the explosion took place. The end
nearest the separator blew forward and
the engine -eooiled about twenty feet.
The wheels end nearly all the fixtures
on it remained in place. One portion
of the boiler was found about one hund-
red feet from the scene. The separator
was driven back about twenty feet by
the force Of the explosion.
What caused the explosion has not
been determined. Experienced engin-
eers claim that the running Of the en-
gine at q high rate of speed would not
cause any trouble. The engine had in
dioated 120 pounds Of steam just be-
tore the accident occurred.
Ed. Bingham who was injured in a
boiler explosion on the Kokatt farm
was brought to the CITY hospital last
Sunday. He is very low but it Is
thought that be will recover. His lower
jaw being broken he has great difficulty
in eating and will have to receive food
through tube. He carried an accci-
dent policy and will draw $40 week i
1t is thought that it will be three
months before he will be able to be out.

THE MUSTER OUT
The First North Dakota viii
Be Mustered Out Septem-
ber 25th.
A Half Holiday Enjoyed BY
the Regiment in San
Francisco.
Officers and Men Believe That
Philippines Should Not Be
Retained.

San Francisco, CAL, Sept. lit was
announced this morning that the First
North Dakota will be mustered out OF
service Sept. 25. Sept. and 8 the ord
nance officers will be at the Presidio to
receive the arms now in possession of
the men. Work has been begun on the
preparation of the muster rolls and
everything will be ready by the time the
date set for leaving the service arrives.
The regiment arrived at the camp
Thursday precisely at noon, and we're
entertained at mess by the First Dali
fornians. Before the ranks we're broken
the men in each company we're informed
that the remainder OF the day was their
own, in which to do as they pleased, but
that they would be expected to be pres
ent at roll call the next morning. Most
OF them Immediately took tho street
cars down town, where they indulged
themselves in one more good American
meal.
The most notable thing connected
with the holiday was the fact that hard
ly man of the entire command went
near a saloon, and practically all OF them
were back in camp before taps sounded
While it is difficult to get either the
officers or men to say much concerning
the situation in the Philippines, 1t Is
evident that none Of them regard Gen.
Otis as competent commander. 1t
may also be said that they think the
administration has not used them fairly.
One officer said today that there was not
eingle officer in the whole volunteer
army who was in favor Of retaining the
islands if any honorable way could be
found to relinquish them.
lbe sick belonging to the regiment
are doing we'll, and it is now thought
that every one in the hospital will re-
cover.

A Wonderful Book.

The Chinese Almanac is the most
largely circulated publication in the
world, the copies printed and sold
yearly reaching several millions. It is
printed at Picking and is monopoly Of
the emperor, no other almanac being
permitted to be sold in that country
Although containing reliable astro-
nomical information, it's chief mission
is to give full and accurate informa-
ton for selecting lucky places for per-
forming all the acts, great and small,
Of everyday life. And as every act of
life in China, however trivial, depends
for its success on the time in which
and the direction point Of compass) to-
ward which 1t is done, it is Of the ut
most Importance that every one should
have correct information at all times
available to enable him so to order his
life as to avoid bad luck and calamity
and secure good luck and prosperity.
So great is the native faith in its in
falibility that not long since the Chi
nese minister to Germany refused to
sail on day which had been appointed
because it was declared in the almanac
to be unlucky.-Cin Enquirer.

How They Dress In Paris.

Walk along the streets Of Paris, and
you will see 100 simple citizens tricked
out in such a guise as in sober London
would make them ridiculous.
Is man poet? Then his hair is in
stantly long, his clothes are shabby and
fantastic, his hat, with it's fat brim,
recalls the fashion of 1880. Is man a
painter? Then his clothes proclaim
that he inhabits Montmartre and that
he wanders up and down under the
skinny trees Of the Boulevard Roche
chouart. Is a man a journalist? Then
he is what is called epatant and dimes
for reduced price at the Cafe Anglais.
Is man a deputy? Then the imag-
nation refrains from a formula; he has
brougham, and he is decorated, but
beyond this the eye of dogmatism can
not penetrate.
Yet, whoever he be, he dresses the
part; he separates himself from the
bourgeoisie by a trick Of costume and
gesture, and though no man ever DOS
sessed so brilliant a genius as the
young Frenchman assumes his love of
acting instantly marks him out, and
the world is so wisely accustomed to
his antics that man who would be
mobbed in London marches I'D and
down Paris unobserved. - London

SINGULAR Flsb CRADLES.

A Father Fish who Hatches HIS
! Dung In HIS Moafh.
In the Nile there is a singular fish
that has been known from early Bible
times. 1T is dedicated to the Apostle
Simon or Peter, is known as Tilapia
simonis and is especially common In
Palestine and the sea or lake of Tibe-'
RUS. Nearly all these fishes have a
singular method of caring for their
young At the time of spawning the
mother fish forms little nest among
the reeds and rushes, In which she de-
posits perhaps 200 green eggs, about
the size Of shot, which she immediate
ly deserts. CAUTIOUSLY enough, in all
the thousands of fishes but three or four
instances are known where the mother
displays any affection for her young or
remains by them.
The father stations himself by the
nest and presently appears to be dining
upon the eggs, but IL he is carefully
ing them into his mouth with the
greatest care and not swallowing
them. They are lodged In what cor
responds to the cheeks and held there.
The eggs soon hatch, the little fishes
grow and the countenance of Mr.. lila
pia becomes greatly swollen and puff
ed out Of all semblance to his former
self. He cannot begin to close his
mouth and presents most extraordi
nary appearance
To accommodate and protect the.
growing family the fish submits to.
great inconvenience and only permits
them to escape when it is a physical
impossibility to hold them any longer
At this time the father will undergo
severe treatment rather than relin-5
quish his progeny. He has been thrown
out upon the beach, but still clings to
bis charge, even during his death
struggles Many Of the young remain
in this singular cradle until they are
four inches In length. -Philadelphia

Skating on Water.

According to Professor j. Jolly of
Trinity college, Dublin, a skater really
glides about on a narrow film Of water
continually forming under the skate
and resuming the solid form when re-
lieved Of pressure. He shows that the
pressure under the sharp edge of the
skate, along the short portion of the
steel curve which is at any moment in
contact, is great enough to iquefy a
thin line Of ice, and this gives the
skate Its ''bite." When the ice is very
cold, the pressure is sometimes made
quate to reduce the melting point suf-
ficiently, and then, as all skaters know,
it Is difficult to make the skates bite.
For very cold ice Professor Jolly rec
ommends "hollow ground skates, be-
cause the effective pressure increases
with the thinness Of the edge.

HOW WE GET OUR TEETH.
1t Is an Interesting and Somewhat
Complicated Operation.

1t Is an Interesting and Somewhat
Complicated Operation.
An eminent dentist is authority for
the following interesting explanation:
It would take too long to describe
the formation Of the teeth. but it may
interest you to know that the enamel
is derived in the first place from the
epithelium, or scarf skin, and Is in fact
modified SIX. while the dentine, Of
which the bulk of the teeth is COM
posed, is derived from the mucous lay
er below the eptthelium.
Lime salts are slowly deposited, and
the tooth pulp Or nerve is the last re-
mains of what was once PUPPY mass
Of the shape Of the future tooth, and
even the tooth pulp in the old people
sometimes gets quite obliterated by
calcerous deposits. The 80 permanent
teeth are preceded by 20 temporary de-.
ciduous or milk teeth. l1@
These are fully erupted at about or
21a years DID, and at about 6 years Of
age wonderful process Of absorption
sets in by which the roots of the tenn
porary teeth are removed to make
room for the advancing permanent
ones. The crowns Of the former, hay
ing no support, become loose and fall
away.
One would naturally suppose that
the advancing permanent tooth was
powerful factor in the absorption Of
its temporary predecessor, but we have
many facts to prove that it has no in
fluence whatever. Indeed, the interest
ing phenomena of the eruption and
succession of the teeth are very little
understood.
may remark in passing that child
Of 6, who has not yet lost any tenn
porary teeth, has in its jaws, either
erupted or nonerupted, no fewer than
SO teeth more or less formed

An Ancient Scotch Custom Which
Once Involved Human SacrdAce.
Sir John Sinclair's Statistical Ac-
count Of Scotland" contains notices of
many old customs, which still contln-
ued to be observed in the Highlands,
though they were even then fast dying
out. From the eleventh volume of that
great work, which was published in
1871 and the succeeding years, we
learn, on the authority of the minister
of Callander, Perthshire, that the boys
Of the township assembled in body
upon the moors on May day, and pro-
ceeded to dig a circular trench, leaving
: the soil in the center undisturbed, so as
to form low table Of green turf, suf-
ficient in size to accommodate the
whole party.
They lighted fire and prepared a
custard Of milk and eggs, and g. large
oatmeal cake, which they baked upon q
stone placed in the embers. When they
had eaten the custard, they divided the
cake into as many equal portions as
there were persons in the assembly and
daubed one Of those pieces with char
coal until 1T was perfectly black. They
then placed all the pieces Of cake to-
gether in bonnet, and each in turn
drew one blindfolded, the holder Of the
bonnet being entitled to the last piece
The boy who drew the blackened por-
ton was destined to be sacrificed and
was compelled to leap three times
through the flames. ".
Although the ceremony had degen-
Grated into a mere pastime for boys, it
is evident that it must once upon a
time have involved the actual sacrifice
Of human being, in order to render
the coming summer fruitful.-Gentle-

Hero of Manila Given a Rousing
Reception at Colombo.
COLOMBO, Ceylon, June 22.-The Unit
ed States cruiser Olympia, with Admiral
Dewey OH board, arrived here at o'clock
a. m. from Singapore, June 10, saluted the
forts ashore and was saluted by the lat
ter in return.
e. An aid-de-camp representing the gov
ernor of Ceylon, Rt Hon. Sir Joseph
West Ridgway, boarded the Olympia at
Z o'clock this morning, in order to well
come Admiral Dewey, and Col. Savage,
commanding the troops. called at 10
o'clock. The visits were returned by Ad-
miral Dewey at II o'clock. He was re-
ceived at the jetty by guard of honor
and, amidst cheering, drove in the gov
errors carriage to breakfast with Col.
Savage. The admiral afterwards booked
rooms at the Galloway hotel and return
ed on board the Olympia at 1 o'clock.
There he received a deputation represent
ing the planters association and the
chamber of commerce, and was presented
with silver caSket and an address, as a
memento of his visit.
The admiral will remain in Ceylon about
a week. He says he had good voyage
from Singapore and that his health is
fairly good.
The presentation of the casket to Ad-
miral Dewey was made on board the
Olympia, instead OF In the council cham
Der, because his doctor had forbidden him
to participate In any Of the functions.
The delegates also presented a thousand
pounds of tea to the crew Of the Olympia
The admiral, replying to the address
Of welcome, said he wished he could re-
ply in adequate terms, reciprocating the
sentiments expressed. But, he added, he
spoke from the heart when he said he
deeply appreciated the welcome. Admiral
Dewey added that he would have the
very acceptable present Of tea distributed
