PROBATION IN A POWDER MILL
Pocketless Clothing for Employees and
Trousers Must Not BE Turned Up.

Trousers Must Not BE Turned Up.
The danger buildings of a powder
mill are themselves so constructed that
not nail head or iron in any shape
is exposed and the roofs are made
slight SO as to give easy vent to ex-
plosions. The garments of the work.
ers are pocketless, so that they cannot
carry knives or matches or, indeed,
anything, and are made of non-inflam-
mabe material. Even the buttons
must not be of metal. No one is al
lowed to go about with trousers turn
ed up at the bottom, because grit is
collected in that way, and the mer-
est hard speck of foreign matter in a
charge of gunpowder is fraught with
danger.
The entrances to danger buildings are
protected by boards placed edgewise,
SO mat when the door is open nothing.
In the shape of dirt can work in This
also serves as a check to anyone who
might thoughtlessly proceed to enter
without having first removed his boots
and put on the overalls that are kept
just inside the door, Doors are made
to open outward, so as to enable them
to escape the more readily, and on the
approach of thunderstorm the works
are stopped and the operatives repair
to the different Warehouses; scattered
over the 300 acres covered by these ex-
tensiye works.
Every week the machinery is in
spected and the reports as to its con-
dition are printed and filed. In the case
of a danger building needing to be re-
paired 1t must first be washed out be-
fore a hammer or other iron tool is ad-
mitted to it. When artificial light is
required, as when working at night or
in dull weather, the lights are kept
outside, being placed on the window
lodges. In the case of the works mag
azine, which is surrounded with water.
no light of any kind is ever permitted
near it. These are only few of the
precautions against accidents at the
works. They are sufficient, however, to
show how lively must be the sense of
danger. Men in powder houses usually
have an arranged plan of escape in
their minds and at the least Inexpect-
ed noise have not hesitated to plunge
into the canal

Denies 1t Is "a Trust.

Omaha, Sept. 1s.-The Standard Oil
company has filed its answer to the pc
ttion of the attorney general of the state
in the case brought under the antitrust
law to restrain the company from trans
acting business in the state. The COM
pany, in its answer, denies that it is in
any sense a trust. 1t further answers
that under the Nebraska statute, which
makes the entering into of a trust a mis-
demeanor punishable by forfeiture of
right to do business in this state, the
company or it's agents must first be con-
victed of the misdemeanor before the
penalty can be enforced by civic action.

EVOLUTION OF FIsn-HooKs.
An inVsnlIon Thai DID MOI InvoID Any Great In
genuiy or Skill.

Men have doubtless been fishers from
very remote times; hunger would teach
them TO catch fish as well as 10 hunt
mammals, but while the evidence of the
latter are so abundant in the shape of
stone weapons. the weapons or imple-
ments used for catching fish. being
made OF less durable material. have
disappeared. The exceptions To this
general statement are the few Instances
where fish hooks made entirely OF stone
or of combination OF stone and wood
or bone. have been preserved with the
other implements of similar material
says a writer in Popular Science.
Fish hooks OF silicious material have
not been found in America, but hooks
composed of flint or chalcedony and
bone have been found I'm Greenland.
The invention OF rude implements to
facilitate the catching OF fish would not
require the exercise OF any great in.
genuity or mechanical skill. Front
watching the fish snap at or swallow
objects thrown i'm the water the idea OF
tying some tempting bait on the end OF
a string and throwing IL into the water
TO be seized and swallowed by the fish
which covld then be pulled out by
means of the string. would be very
simple, and from this TO the earliest
known attachment for making the cap
ture of the fish more certain. that of at
taching a silver OF wood to the end OF
the string or line, in such a way that
any attempt TO escape on the part OF
the fish would make its capture more
certain. was very easy.
Afterward pieces OF bone or wood,
sharpened at each end, and some times
grooved i'm the middle. TO keep the
string from slipping, were evolved.
Implements of this character are still
used by the Eskimos for catching sea
gulls and other water fowl. A cord
made OF braided grass. fifteen or eight
cen inches long is looped around thu
groove in the bone. and fastened 10
trawl line kept extended by anchored
buoys. the bone being baited with small
fish. iII o which the implement is in
serted lengthwise. the trawl lines are
placed near the breeding places OF tho
birds. and would be equally effective In
the capture of certain kinds of fish.
AS man gained experience and ad,
vanced I'm knowledge other forms Of
Implements would be evolved. better
suited for the purpose. but. with the
exception OF better material being used
i'm the manufacture. the fish hooks OF
the civilized nations 81 today are but
little in advance OF those used by saw
age races and prehistoric peoples
Prehistoric fish hooks OF bronze and
others made from the tusks OF the wild
boar are found i'm the Swiss lakes. An
other form OF bronze fish hooks. found
i'm the Lake OF Morat is almost identi-
cal i'm form with those used today. CLIP
ped flint fish hooks are found I'm Swe-
den. Among the aborigines of Wiz on
sin native copper was used I'm the man

plements, and fish hooks OF beaten cop
per have been found i'm some OF the
mounds i'm that region.

| children from the Kindergarten UP,
We're employed I'm some form.
From the NTH grade UP the girls had
sewing. Beginning with the sewing
with red wool on canvas, finer and finer
work was done, hemmlng, running
ceiling. etc. until finally the children
learned to patch and darn.
To the many who are yet somewhat
skeptical concerning the performance
ana usefulness of the Woman's Club.
the work thus accomplished by the
cInbined efforts OF the Women's Clubs
will be an unanswerable argument.
One OF the most influential and, we
might add, the strongest club in the
United States Is the Woman's Club OF
Chicago.
Organized in 1875. II Is now almost a
quarter OF a century old-and has n
membership of nearly one thousand
women. each of whom takes upon ad-
mission the following pledge:
Holding my membership I'm the Chi
cago Woman's Club as something sa-
cred ami worthy OF unfailing loyalty,
l will sustain the club I'm its good work
and guard its reputation as long as /
am "a member.
The club Is divided into departments
representing the different lines of
work, namely: Reform, home, educa-
tlon, art ana literature, philanthropy,
philosophy and science.
The president. Mrs. Pennoyer l..
sherman is a distinguished woman and
a past regent OF the ID. A. r.
The rules for admission 10 the club
are rigid. and require that candidate
for admission must be proposed by five
members Of three years standing. These
shall have personal acquaintance with
hUa 4 sl..ll

The dues OF this club compared with
those OF our own Rhode Island Wo-
mans Club viii be observed To be much
larger. requiring an admission fee of
SIS and annual dues of sl2.
AS a result Of "A vote Of the board OF
directors OF the Chicago Woman's
Club. the central topic OF study for the
six departments of the club for the
coming club season will be, The Needs
OF a Great City"
In connection with this study such
essayists and speakers as James ii.
Eckels. Carter Harrison. Jane Adams

nOunced.
1t would take quite too much space
to enlarge upon the many departments
OF this club and the excellencies there

PHILIPPINE PRODUCTS.
Present State Of Agriculture In The Islands and
lls Possibilities.

The Division OF Botany OF the De-
partment OF Agriculture has just issued
a pamphlet OF information on the plant
products OF the Philippine Islands. Only
a ninth OF the area OF the Philippines
is devoted 20 agriculture, although the
chief industries OF the islands are agri-
cultural.
The area cultivated Is 3,267, 900 hec-
tares. or something more than 5000 900
acres. Under proper methods the total
agricultural production could be in
creased from ten 10 fifteen times. Rice,
the staple food OF the natives and OF
the many Chinese in the Islands, is
grown in more than a hundred yarle-
ties, some OF them maturing within
three months of planting, and permit
ting the raising of two crops in one
year. But i'm some years s. 900 900
worth OF rice has TO be imported. Mos.
OF this comes from Cochin, China. The
average annual production in the !sl-
ands is 36. 900 900 bushels. In some PROV
inces Indian corn affords the people
their chief sustenance. They grow two
crops of this year, also when they
plant the early varieties.
A dozen highly esteemed varieties OF
bananas are grown. The sugar pro-
duced and used is practically all raw,
there being only one refinery IN the
archipelago. Coffee is grown. but the
plantations are not we'll managed. 4
much-used food ls the bamboo plaat
the young shoots being eaten in salads
and sauces. They are very tender and
acceptable.
The natural product Of psrhaps
greatest utility is the cocoa palm The
kernel and juice OF the nut supply
food and drink. The central nut that
crowns the tree yields a wine. known
as tuba OF agreeable, pungent taste.
When fermented the tuba yields vine
gar. and when distilled. brandy Ropes
and calking material for boats arc
made from the cocoanut husks: spoons
cups and beads from the shells Leaves
make house roofs; some Of the smaller
ribs and veins of the leaves are formed
into brooms: the midribs are used as
fuel and of the ashes Of these SOAP is
made The trunks Of the trees support
the native houses and from hollow sec
tions OF them oil ana wine casks are
made The roots yield red dye CO..
coanut oil the natives use for their
hair and 10 illuminate streets and
houses.
Among ornamental plants that grow,
wild there are magnOlias. clematis
