PREcAoTloN IN POWDER MILLS

Pocketless Clothing for Employees and
 Trousers Must Not Be Turned Up.
 The danger buildings of powder mill are themselves so constructed that not a 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 CTS are poeketless, so that they cannot carry knives or matches, or, indeed, anything, and are made of non-inf1am- mable material. Even the buttons must not be made of metal. No one is allowed to go about with trousers turned up at the bottom, because grit Is collected in that wa, 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 that when the door Is open nothing in the shape of dirt can work in. This also serves as 8 check to any one who might thought Iessly enter without having first re- moved his boots and put on the over alls 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 a thun- derstorm the works are stopped and the operatives repair to the different warehouses scattered over the 300 acres covered by these extensive works Every week the machinery is inspected and the reports as tc its condition are printed and filed. In the case of a dan- ger building needing to be repaired 1t must first be washed out before hammer or other iron tool Is admitted 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. Tn the case of the works magazine, which is surrounded with water, no light of any kind is ever permitted near 1t. These are only a few of the precau- tions against accidents at the works. They are sufficient, however, to show how lively must be the sense of dan- ger. Men in powder houses usually have an arranged plan of escape in their minds and at the least unex- pected noise have not hesitated to plunge into the canal.

The Term of Life.

Recent inquiries in England have led to the preparation of tables showing the full term of life" for man, and other mammals, based upon the theory that there is a fixed ratio between the period required to reach maturity and the total length of life. Accident, dis ease and so forth, have to be eliminat- ed from the calculation. According to these tables, only one animal exceeds man in it's full life term. namely, the elephant. For man the theory makes the average term about so years, and for the elephant something over 100 years. Next to man. in longevity. come the camel and the Arabian horse. whose term of life is about AZ years.

SHE cHoKED A LYNX TO DEATH
Arizona Girls Brave Battle with Brute
 That Attacked Her.

That Attacked Her.
 George J. Manassa of this city, wno has been spending the past two months at Kingman, Ariz., tells an interest ing story of case of heroism in young girl that came under his obser- yation, says the Kansas City Journal. He said that one day while there a ranchman, J. A. Carrow, brought into the town for medical treatment his son Murray, years old. and his daughter IF years old, who were frightfully la' cerated by the teeth and claws of some animal, and the rough usage showed upon the boy in wounds upon the arms, hands and the breast and shoui- ders. Upon inquiry he learned that Mir. Carrow was a wealthy ranch owner living about twenty-five miles north of the place and that the two children had been lacerated by lynx that had attacked the boy and had been strangled to death by the girl, .sThe boy" Mir Manassa said, was playing in a swing in an almond or chard near the house, when fero- cious lynx sprang upon him and pulled him to the ground. A life and death struggle then took place between the little fellow and the animal. Taking the lynx by the ear and one leg he succeeded in throwing it to the ground and holding it there, screaming for help. The lynx was biting his hand in l d horrible manner, but with Spartan courage he held on until his sister came. The animal had got the bet ter of the boy when the girl, with only her naked hands as weapons, gave battle. She struggled with the in- furiated brute and, although be clawed aud bit her, she never released her hold until she had it pinioned to the ground by her knee and death grip on it's throat.

HE SAID GOLF WAS sHiNNEy

Justice, Who Doesa.t Know "Put" from "Cau- sit< on the Game.
 Without regarding the feelings of sey City has brought the aristocratic game which cannot be played without aleeks, mashies, lofters, and drivers aown to the level of -shinney.@ a game that only requires crooked stick, any old thing that will serve as ball, tough shins, and an opponent whom the player does not like. Mrs Paulins Scharff lives near the links of the Jer- sey City Golf club, and has filed objeo- tions tc having her children swatted on the head by golf balls driven in an ec- centric manner by beginners at the game. Respite the heat, Mrs. Scharff also objects to having the windows of her home suddenly fall to pieces in most disquieting way. It was to stop these annoyances that Mrs. Scharff caused Albert L. Drayton, president of the club, to explain to Justice Potts not only how it happened, but also how he would stop it i'll the future. The elite of Jersey City crowded the courtroom yesterday, and listened to MT. Drayton explain that the organi- zation, through late recruits, had made some of the most wonderful strokes oD record. He added that in few days new course would be arranged, and the beginners quarantined nine miles from any sign Of civilization. Mrs. Scharff was willing to compromise. and even went so far as to express her admira- tion of the game when played in an- other state, and everything was set tied. But the game is shinney,' just the same" was the decision given by Justice Potts, aud which caused the elite to loft their noses and foozle their glances as they left the putting green bound for the next tee.
