HUGGED NITRO GLYCERINE.

dUGGED NIL NJ Oh1 ~ chANNH'
By one of the most oool-headed and
nervy acts In the history OF the Penn
sylvania oil fields at William
Bowers, of housewife, on Sstur-
day saved the lives OF number OF men
and his own as we'll. He Is employed
by the Harper Torpedo Company and
sent to ''shoot" we'll for William Cor
mack on the McClintock farm, q few
miles north OF franklin, Pa. He filled
d shell with 38 quarts of nitro glycerine
aud had the long tin tube Strengthened
in the hole ready to lower 1t to the bot
tom of the we'll, when the ball at the
TOD OF the shell pulled of and the tor
pedo dropped.
Close beside Bowers was a can con.
tanning several quarts OF glycerine, and
about dozen men were in the derrick
az spectators. Instantly he realized that
when the shell exploded the shock
would explode the Rlyoerine in the car
He seized the can, and with 1t In biz
arms dsrted rapidly from the derrick.
When the shell struck the fluid at
depth of about 400 feet, 1t exploded,
and stream OF oil, gas and stones rush'
ed out Of the casing with terrific roar
tearing the top off the derrick and shat
tering the derrick floor. But for the
remarkable GOODNESS and prompt action
of young Bowers the can containing the
plycerine would surely have been ex'
ploded, resulting in terrible loss OF life
Bowers was several yards away from
the derrick when the explosion came
| however, and the concussion Gid not 81
feet the glycerine In his arms.

Names of Talking Machines.
They Are Called "Graphophones" by the
United States Patent Office.

A small company of men was
gathered about a talking machine
the other evening enjoying the latest
popular song, when one of them,
who is, as the reporter subsequently
learned, a prominent patent lawyer,
made the following contribution to
the scientific knowledge OF the day:
"In the popular mind there is
considerable misapprehension and
confusion regarding the correct de-
signation of talking machines. The
words 'Graphophone' and Phono-
graph are ordinarily misused as
having the same meaning. The
name 'Phonograph' which was given
to the first crude model constructed
by Edison, has clung in large mea-
sure to the perfected talking machine
as it is known to-day.
at is the news, thefore, to many
people to learn that all the talking
machines of the present day are of;
fcially termed 'Graphophones' by
the U. S. Patent Office.
Mu 1877 the attention of the worlt
was riveted to a new invention b,
Thomas Edison of a machine tina
would talk, to which he applied tn
name sPhonograph.' Imaginative
people at once began extravagan
speculations as to the many uses t.
which it could be put. The me
chanical methods employed in it
however, were incapable of practica
use. 1t employed tin-toilas the me
dunn for receiving and reproducin!
the sound waves and a record mad
on this material was not permanent
was far from being perfect or eve
satisfactory, and it could not be re
moved from the particular instru
Iment on which it was made withcu
destroying the record. The phono
lgraph served to demonstrate tina
lsound waves could be recorded an
Reproduced, but it could render n
practical service to mankind and dis
appointed expectations. Inthe cours
Of few years it was forgotten.
The Graphophone appeared tie
years after the phonograph. 1t wa

on which they were made and r.

"The Patent Office put into Il

technically speaking, every practic'

According to our neighbor con-
temporary, DIR. Herman was not
running tor himself, but to please
Hummel. That is certainly not very
complimentary for an opponent to
lend himselfas a tool to the polite
al enemies of those who gave the
doctor a very lucrative position on
the pension board. Either our con-
temporary fails to tell the truth OF
else he puts DIR. Herman in an nn-
enviable position.

The Democrats of Snyder County

The Democrats of Snyder County
are engaging in lively scrimmage
for the County Chairmanship.
There must be some great "pul"
coming from the position of County
Chairman of both parties, or else
there would not be such a scramble
for the places. Ofcourse there are
those who do not know who will be
elected president and that may ac.
