cloudy, shoWery ana uhseasoh-
ably, cool weather, with occasion
al frosts, continued until the 4th.
All garden vegetables, corn beans,
tomatoes, etc, were injured by
frosts, and the lack of sunshine
prevented rapid growth. But the
change to fine, warm, sunny wealth
err on the 10th has produced Wig
orous growth, and all vegetation is
now flourishing. No better grow
ing wheat could be desired
Fall-sown wheat is in bloom, and
some is filling. Early spring wheat
is heading out The showers of the
past week were opportune, storing
up supply of moisture in the soil
which will be much needed during
such dry, hot days as usually occur
during the latter part of this
month. Considerable wheat was
injured by frost during the pre-
vious week, but the amount is
small in comparison with the large
crop that is in fair way to ma
ture.
A small amount of hay cutting
has been done in some localities Of
the eastern section. Potatoes are
in blossom. Sugar beets are doing
well. Strawberries ripened very
slowly during the cool, cloudy
weather, but since the sunshine
have ripened rapidly.

SIGNAL MAKER BURNED.
EXPLOSION OCCURS AND SETS FIRE
TO HIS CLOTHING.

William = Coston. she signal manufacturer.
Of West New Brighton, Staten Island, lies In the
Smith lnfrmary at New Brighton. injured by
an explosion which occurred in his factory yes
terday.
Mr.. Coston occupied a two story frame build
ing on the west side of Bemont-ave where for
years he has carried on the business of manu-
featuring the Coston Signal Light used by
ocean going vessels. He mixed the chemicals
himself. and employed two girls in the packing
and finishing department.
Yesterday Coston was in the mixing ROOM on
the ground floor. and the girls. Miss Gun
ming and Miss Baxter, were in the packing
room Coston took some chemicals from the
receptacles in which they stored and was
preparing them for the tubes for the
signals when there was fash and ex-
posion
Coston was thrown to the floor. stunned and
bleeding. and some paper in the room took fire
and ignited his clothing. The windows in the
building had been shattered by the force of the
exnlosiop and the draught caused the fire to
spread The flames from the explosion went
into the room where the girls were at work, and
singed their hair. and they ran from the build
ing followed by Coston. The neighbOrs,
alarmed by the noise, quickly gathered about
the building. and an alarm summoned the fire
men. who saved the house of Mr.. Coston near
by, but the factory was entirely consumed en-
failing a loss of $1,000.
In the mean time CostOn had been taken TO
the house of a neighbor. and DR.. William j.
T2r1an ordered his removal to the infrmary,
where his injuries were attended to. The fire
had burned his face and head. and his hair was
burned TO the scalp. 1t is feared that his eyes
ba,ra haan hadly injured DR. Bryan said that
Coston might recover il he had not inhaled the
dan1es hut he was unable to tell how serious
were his injuries.
The explosion II is thought was caused by
friction as the chemicals used in the prepara-
tion of the signals are highly explosive and the
least friction will cause them TO ignite. There
have been many small explosions and two seri-
ous ones in the works within few years

line of hose attached to one of the fire
plugs the plank floor of the linen room was
torn up and the smouldering fire thorough

removed, so no great damage was done.
There are two theories to the origin of the
fire. One is that the metal over the boilers be-
coming overhea ted ignited the plank floor of the
linen room. The other is that the fire resulted
from defective insulation of electric wire.
The officers of the ship say that the passengers
behaved admirably throughout the slight scare,
and that there was not the least confusion.
Among the passengers was John ID. Rookie
