The disciples of the fruit breakfast
creed pledge themselves to eat nothing

tea or other liquid before the noon hour.
You can eat all the fruit you want.
The converts to the hot milk cure

woman. They assure you that the face
after being washed with hot milk at
night feels wonderfully refreshed. while
the skin. if the treatment be persisted in,
begins to look like n baby's, soft and
smooth and white. Some of the devotecs
of the new cure recommend adding a
goodly quantity of milk to the bath wa

means, for in ancient Rome milk baths

terrible message. The Office Of The Trib-

dispatches which showed the alarm at
Washington. There were orders for the
arrest of this man, there were suspicious
of the loyalty of that man. No one knew
what the morrow might bring.
'In the midst of the anxiety OF such
hours to Mr.. Gay, the acting editor Of
that paper, there entered the foreman Of
the typcsetting room. He brought with
him the proof of Mr.. Grecley's leading
article, as he had left it before leaving
the city for the day. 1t was n brutal, bit
ter, sarcastic personal attack on presi-
dent Lincoln, the man who when Gay
read the article was dying in Washing

Gay rcad the article and asked the
foreman il he had any private place
where he could lock up the type to which
no one but himself had access. The fore
man said he had. Gay babe him tie up
the type, lock the galley with this article
in his cupboard and tell no one what he

appeared in The Tribune the next morn.

some of the Pe%cuIinritics of This
Dangerous compound.

Whether dynamite cxplodcs easily OF
not Is apparently a moot questions; at
!cas: it is one that dynamite workers are
not agreed on among themselves, accord.
ing to Cleveland Moffctt's report in St.
Nicholas Of b conversation he took part
In.
Farther down the road, he writes, ]
came to a railroad track where a long
freight train was standing on n siding.
Some men were busy here loading a cal
with clean looking wooden boxes that
might have held starch or soap, but did
hold dynamite neatly packed in long, fat
sticks like huge iirccrackcrs. Each box
bore this inscription in rcd letters: "High
Explosives. Dangerous" ! looked along
the train and saw that there were several
cars closed and scaled, with a sign nailed
on the outside. Powder. Handle Care
fully"
In this case powder" means dynamite,
for the product of a dynamite factory is
always called powder. / think the men
feel more comfortable When they use that
milder name. There was powder"
enough on this train to wreck n city, but
nobody seemed to mind. The men laugh
ed and loiterod. They might have been
laying bricks for any interest they show
ed.
l asked one of them IL it is considered
safe to haul carloads of dynamite about
the country. He said that some people
consider it safe, and some do not. Some
railroads will carry dynamite, while 9TH
erS refuse it.
Suppose n man were to shoot n rife
ball into one Of these cars" l asked do
YOU think it would cxplode?"

group was positive it would explode. Con-
cussion, he declared, was the thing that
sets off dynamite. Another knew Of cx-
pcriments at the works where they had
fired rifle balls into quantities of dyna-
mite and had only concluded that some
times it exploded and sometimes it did
not.
Then n third man spoke up with an air
of authority. You've got to have a red
spark" he said, "to set off dynamite.
I've handled it long enough TO know.
Here's an experiment that's been tried
They took an old fat car and loaded il
with rocks. Then they fastened a box OF
dynamite to the bumper and let the cal
run down n steep grade, bang into an
other car anchored at the bottom. And
they found that the dynamite never ex
ploded unless the bumpers were faced
with iron. 1t didn't matter how much
conclusion they got with wooden bump
ers, the dynamite was like that much
putty, but as soon as a red spark jumped
into it ont of the iron, why. off she'd 60"
Then he instanced various cases where
powder cars had gone through RAILROAD
wrecks without exploding, although boxc.
Of dynamite had been smashed open ant

BALL LIGHTNING.
Rare Phenomenon Described ny .
Weather Bureau Observer.


Every schoolboy mas seen pictures OF
what is called bill lightning. 1t is a very
rare phenomenon, and no mcteorologist
pretends to understand It. Professor Da-

pearance of luminous balls, emit to be
q foot or so in diameter, moving ut a
moderate velocity and passing about
among objects near the ground, remain
ing visible a number of seconds and ON
monty disappearing with an explosion.
No satisfactory explanation has been Of
fcrcd for this phenomenon. Careful OBJ
servation should be made Of it,"
Another metcorologist calls it n very
rare form of lightning. He says that a
vivid flash accompanied by n violent ex-
plosion seems to project n brilliant bomb
10 the earth. Upon striking the earth the
bomb may rebound several times before
It splits up and disappears. He adds that
no satisfactory explanation has been Civ
on Of this singular form OF electrical dis
charge.
A short time ago there was a display Of
ball lightning near Cumberland. Md, and
a short account was given Of il in n local
newspaper. The strange vagaries Of ball
lightning are so seldom witnessed that
scientific men have sometimes expressed
doubt that there is any such thing. 1t
has as yet been found very difficult 10
form a theory about it that will cover all
its peculiarities, particularly as regards
shape, color, slow and erratic movement
and finally explosive effects.
All reports Of ball lightning that are
well described are welcomed by meteor
ologlsts, who hope by accumulatlng eVi-
dence to some day attain n better ldea OF
this curious phenomenon. The latest OK
pericnce reported is from the pen or hohr

bureau, who writes to The Monthly
Weather Review OF an e2pcrienc" with

few yards above the mizzen truck, and a
moment later he saw a ball OF IRE the
size Of n mans head detach itself from
the cloud and sail quite l~eisurely to the
miz2en truck. 1t struck this object and
exploded with n deafening crash, sending
a shower OF kissing sparks over the rig
ging and deck.
When the boy rcgained consciousness,
the right side OF his body was paralyzcd.
