The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1902-08-16

ton Post gives a most interesting &C
count of some of their characteris-
tics.
The marmosets are full of mischiev-
Gus, playful ways, and are great
sources of amusement. They will
steal all the hairpins and knicknacks
from their mistress dressing table.
Then the lady calls forth pretty
display of conscience on the part of
her pets.
Upon discovering their pilfering
she puts her hands to her face and
shows signs of grief. The marmosets
watch her for minute and seem dis
turbed; then they apparently con-
suit together, and finally one goes to
their hiding place and brings back a
hairpin and lays II down.
The lady receives It, but still keeps
her face covered and seems to weep.
Then the other monkey will bring in
several more things. They climb up
to her in the prettiest way and try to
pull her fingers from her eyes to see
if this has had the desired effect. But
no, she weeps harder than ever, and
in an agony of contrition the marmo-
sets race off and fetch in all their
booty, whimpering softly and doing
all they know how to do to make
amends,
Then the lady smiles upon them
and praises them, and the little
creatures caper with delight. and
climb up and caress their mistress
with their tiny paws. After this they
are on their good behavior for sew
eral days.

Electric stimulation Of Plants.

Several methods of applying cleo
tricity to hasten the growth and de-
velopment of vegetation have been
tested in Germany. One plan is sim
ply to electrify the air about the
growing plants by passing current
through a system of barbed wires
from the points of which the cleo
tricity is discharged. Another way
is to submit the seeds to an electric
current before they are planted or
sowed. Both of these methods are
said to have given favorable results,
but the best plan yet tried is that of
passing feeble current of electricity
through the soil. A market gardener
near Paterson, N. j., is said to have
trebled the productiveness of his
beds of carrots, beets and other vege-
tables by sending through them a
current derived from the power cable
of a trolley line.

men sat on the cotton bales, but the
black mammies and the pickaninnies
stood along the track. They showed
their white teeth in hard grins, but
made no other demonstrations as the
president stepped from the train. He
was clad in hunting costume, around
his waist was buckled his cartridge
belt and at his side hung his ivory

Lebanon, Pa Nov. 14.-The explo-
sion of a large boiler in furnace No.
8 of the American Iron and Steel COM
pany's plant late yesterday afternoon
caused the death of four workmen and
about fcrty others were more or less
seriously injured.
The dead: Jacob Bricker, Walter
Turner j. Hissinger and VIM. Oakes.
The calamity is the worst that ever
occurred in Lebanon. The boiler ex-
ploded without warning and in an in
stant the entire place was black with
death dealing debris. The wreck and
ruin OF the nine immediate puddle
furnaces was complete.
Thousands of persons were attract
ed to the scene and weeping women
and children crowded about the place,
making frantic efforts to obtain It'd
ings OF their loved ones. The excite
ment was so intense, however, that a
considerable time elapsed before any
information could be given them.
Physicians were called from every
quarter of the city, and the hospital
ambulances and other vehicles were
hurried into service. Offices of the
works were at once converted into a
hospital, and a corps OF nurses from
the Good Samaritan hospital were
brought to the place. In this tempo
rary hospital the manned and scalded
were carried and given attention.
Some have their eyes burned out. 9TH
ers their hands blown off. Many of
them, it is believed, cannot live
through the day.
1t is feared the list of dead will be
materially increased when the ruins
of the nine wrecked puddle furnaces
are explored. The exploded boiler
was hurled high into the air, and
passed over the Offices, burging Itself
in the south bank OF creek, several
| hundred yards away.

New Orleans, Nov. 14.-President
Samuel Gompers, at the opening of
the American Federation of Labor
yesterday, delivered an impassioned
warning to the members of the or
ganization that the immediate future
OF trade and labor assemblies was Sc
riously endangered by the conflicting
claims Of jurisdiction made by differ
ent bodies. Unless such things were
approached in ealmness and handled
with moderation, he declared that la
Dor organizations of the country
would soon be involved in a conflict
which would, by comparison, dwarf all
the struggles in which labor organiza-
tions have so far been engaged. The
matter would, unless checked, he as
serted, come to point where laboring
men would fight with laboring men
from behind barricades, in the man.
ner in which men deal with their NOR
tai foes. His warning of danger and
his counsels of peace and moderation
met with hearty response from the
assembled delegates and wild APP
plause greeted the speaker as he
closed that portion of his annual ad-
dress in which he had pointed out the
perils which, in his opinion. will sure
ly come unless methods are altered
and altered soon.
