Butte's Barrenness Thing
of the Past.

Butte has long had reputation for
barrenness so far as vegetation is con-
csrned, but if some of those who claim
thatsall of the flowers and plants exhibit
ed lin the city We're grown in other Sec
tlu1s would take a walk through the
suburbs they might have reason to
charge their minds.
There was a time in Butte when the
smelter smoke interfered with the growth
of flowers to such an extent that fanciers
OF this branch of the earths product be-
came discouraged in their attempts to
beautify their yards and lawns, but that
period seems to have passed with the dis
appearance of the bulk of the smoke.
Many persons might have endeavored to
grow flowers here ten years ago had it
not been for the general cry, They will
not thrive on account of the smoke"
Now, it is different. Within the last two
or three years and even longer it has
been discovered that by using the proper
brand of earth flowers and other shrub
berry will grow just as we'll here as they
d.. in other places. The original soil Of
Eutte, however. is not conducive to the
growth of vegetation, as it is a decom-
posed granite in which there is almost

colors. At either side of the walk ex-
tending from the gate to the front door
are a number Of stalks Of sunflower, each
of which is about an inch and a half
in diameter near the base and between
seven and eight feet high. South and
north Of the walk are the flowers and
trees in full bloom. There are many
grassy lawns close to the Newstrom
residence.
In Utah avenue near the point at which
the street car track turns eastward, is

that it is close to the street car line the
attention of travellers who have heard
the stories of Buttes alleged barrenness
is particularly attracted to it.
These are only few of the many
handsome lawns and yards which Butte

No Seat; No Fare.

The scene was Brooklyn. The trolley
car stopped and in the street beside it
was seen a woman, gray-haired, portly
and, well dressed, with strength of char
acter showing in every line OF her face.
She walked slowly along the car looking
for vacant place. Every seat was filled
She wedgeds herself between two seats
and stood.
The conductor started the car and
came along the foot-board.
"Fare!" he said.
The gray-haired woman turned toward
him with dignity.

she said, with decision in her voice and
manner.
The men absorbed in their newspapers,

were so surprised at this revolt Of wo-
man that they suffered themselves to
be betrayed into looking up and seeing
the portly woman. None Of them got up,
though.
The conductor did not seem so much
surprised as saddened.
Fare, please" he replied weakly.
II will pay my fare when get seat"
the gray-haired woman said again.
you'll have to pay your fare or get
off the car" retorted the conductor.
II will pay my fare when I get a seat"
the gray-haired woman said with un-
diminished severity and firmness for the
third time.
The conductor looked at the five men

woman.
The five men in a row looked at their

first thing was to take it to pieces; the
next, to make another like it. But elec-
tricity was his hobby, and it is in the
application of the subtle electric current
that he now bids fair to become IA
nous.
Two years ago, young Steward was
running dredge for his father, down in
Utah. He was interested in military
matters. and the cost of firing the great
guns used on board the navy and for
sea coast defense impressed him deeply.
There ought to be some cheaper ex-
plosive, he said. and he set to work to
find something better. The cost of firing
The Butte inter mountain., 1901-08-31

a 12-inch rifle Is near $500 for powder
alone; enough to bankrupt any but
powerful nation for target practice alone.
| Indeed, 1t Is the cost of target practice
that made the Spanish gunners what
they were, and decided the Spanish
American war was the farce it was
| practically decided in the two great ma
| val battles.
He took up gasoline as a possible ex-
| plosive The gas generated from gaso-
line Is powerful explosive, but he
| found it not quick enough for high
power artillery. The results were en-
couragng, however. enough to justify
further experiments. -
The addition of acids suggested itself
Some more powerful explosives were
! produced, but still no satisfactory re-
suits. The proportion of acids were
varied, and still stronger and quicker
explosive gases were produced. He had
six sharp explosives during his days Of
experimenting, and one nearly lost his,
sight. Still he persevered getting better
results all the time. 1
The idea of using electricity in con-
nection with the explosive gases occurred
to him. Te tried it, with a wonderful
increase in both power and rapidity.
That is the invention which now stands
to his name, and which is receiving
governmental approval as the greatest
money-saver In modern warfare.
Briefly described, the invention is
known as the electro-gas gun. or rather
powder, to be used in connection with
the regular navy rifles. With the gun
itself, he has nothing to do; only the
explosive. The gas Is generated through
the decomposition Of gasoline and two
acids by electricity, the gas then being
compressed, forced into the chamber Of
the gun. and fired bv an electric spark.
The gasoline is poured into generator
holding four or five gallons. The mixed
acids are fed in through tube from
the side, on to a ENC plate that forms
the bottle of the generator. An electric
coil Is passed through the gasoline and
acid, which frees the explosive gases,
which rise to the top Of the genera tor.
The lighter parts of the gas. which is
less explosive, is allowed to pass out
through stop-cock at the tip. The
heavier gases, which are the essential
J part Of the new invention. are fed
through pipe just as tsey settle upon
the surface of the gasoline. which is kept
up to a uniform level.
From the generator the gas goes to
a compressor, where it is compressed TO
sixty pounds pressure to the square inch,
or four atmospheres. Then it is ready
for the gun. "a

made Its preliminary tests is the regular
