The highly explosive and infIamable

freshly demonstrated in several Incl

more recently a Boston Woman, chilled
after a long drive, sat with her back
near a CRATE fire. Suddenly an imita-
ton tortoise-shell ornament in her hair
exploded, and in an instant her head
was wreathed in flames. A third case
is that of a little girl admiring a red
celluloid bracelet by the light of a stu
dent lamp. The child's muslin sleeve
caught fire form the resultant explosion
her arm and hand being cruelty burned
before help came. The enormous use of
celluloid in toys, buttons, handles and
toilet articles renders a knowledge of
its qualities of the most importance.

Arctic Clothing,

The sleeping bag is made of the win
ter skins of the deer sewed together,
with the hair turned in, long enough
for a man to lie at full length inside
and fitted with flap to haul over the
head after getting in. The boots are
made of the skin from the legs of the
deer, the hair outside, while the soles
are the hide of the oogrook, or large
hair seal. Inside the boots are worn
deerskin socks, with the hair next the
feet, and inside these again are worn
one and sometimes two pairs of heavy
woollen socks. The shirt, or parkie,
is made of the summer skins of the
deer, these being lighter, and is double
that is, it is really two parkies in one,
so that there is hair next the body and
outside as well. 1t is fitted with
hood, which is trimmed around the face
with wolfskin, for the hair of that ami
NAL being long and course, it affords eX-
cellent protection from the cold and
biting winds. The trousers are gener-
ally single, and made of the thick win
ter skins, with the hair turned out.
Deerskin combines two very essential
properties-it is very warm and very
light; in fact, the double parkie does
not weigh any more than the average
double-breasted sack coat of civiliza-
tion, and our sleeping-bags weighed on
ly twelve pounds. Our hand covering
consisted of deerskin mittens, with
wooden gloves or mittens inside, so that
when it became necessary to work
around the sled or adjust the dog har-
ness, the clumsy deer NIT could be
slipped off, says Harper's Magazine,
and the hands still be protected by the
Woollen gloves.

CATCHING THE sARDlNE.
Curious Things About a Large and
Profitable Fishery.

The sardine fishing season begins ear
ly in June, and is successful in places
along the Atlantic coast and on Puget
Sound. The coast of Norway and Brit
tany in France. are the scenes of the
heaviest takes, and the grade of sar-
dimes obtained there is superior.
AS soon as the fishermen notices
shoals of porpoises or flocks of seagulls
off shore sail is made Immediately, for
the sardine is there.
A curious thing about this kind Of
fishing is that one rarely sees a living
sardine out of the water. The fish
make little squeak when taken from
the water, and die instantly. OF the
ESQ or 300 fishing boats fitted out at
Belle Isle about 200 belong to Palais
and the others to Sauzon.
1t is in these two ports that the
French fishermen sell their fish. An
ordinary catch of sardines gives to each
boat from 5000 to 10000 fish, and the
price is regulated by the quantity
brought in by the first corners. Seven
francs a thousand is fair price.
During the sardine season about 300
women and fifty men anxiously await
the arrival of the first boats. If there
are no fish there is no work for them.
When the news arrives that the boats
have their welcome cargoes the women
in their picturesque costumes, rush to
the cannery like flock of frightened
sheep, and each takes her place in the
great room where the fish undergo
their first preparation.
Here the sardines are spread upon
the table and sprinkled with salt. Their
they are cleaned, and when that oper.
alton is finished they are sorted by little
boys and carried into another part oi
establishment, where they are put il
pickle
After this the fish are washed ant
placed one by one, with great care
upon wire nets, called "grills," anC
put out to dry in the open air. If tht
weather is wet or even foggy this op
Grafton is impossible, and the fsf
spoil and become worthless, except fol
fertilizing
The tins in which the sardines art
then packed are carried to the oilinl
room, where the last manipulation con
sists of filling them with oil. 1t is il
this part of the establishment that tn
tomato sauce and the spices are place.
in the boxes which give to the Frencl
preparation of sardines their universe

In any one of the above importan
| establishments the sardines are pre-
pared and exported ten hours afte

A spaniard OH Spanish ouixotism.

Sonora Pardo-Bazan lectured in Par
is on "The Spain of To-day and the
Spain of Tomorrow" for the purpose
of rehabilitating her compatriots after
their disasters. She attempts to refute
the idea that Spanish decadence is due
to religious fanaticism. 1t is not the
black legend" which has been the ruin
of the country, but rather the golden
legend" of past national greatness. I'm
der the influence of this mirage the peo-
pie thought it quite sufficient for a
Minister to proclaim that America
would be shattered against the ram
part of Spanish breasts" for this to be-
come an accomplished fact. Much in
the same spirit the nation clamored
for the promotion of Lieutenant Peral
to the rank of admiral on the mere ru-
NOR that he had solved the problem of
submarine navigation. But, alas! this
eminent inventor is now engaged in
fitting telephones and electric bells.
Don Quixote, in fact, is really the pa
tron saint of the Peninsula But in
spite of bourgeois apathy and the de-
spotic rapacity of village politicians,
Sonora Pardo-Bazan contends that the
heart of Spain is sound enough, and
that the people and the leading states
men are generous, honest and disinter-
ested
