EARLY MORNING AIR.
It's Invigorating Effects Largely Due,
It Is Said, to Dew.


Most people at some time in their
lives probably have risen early enough
to experience the bracing effect given
by filling the lungs while dew is still
on the grass. So far as analysis goes
the composition of early morning air is
not different from that of air at any
other time It is we'll to remember,
however, that during the passing Of
night to day and of day to night sew
eral physical changes take place.
There is a fall of temperature at sun
set and rise again at dawn, and con-
seQuently moisture is alternately be-
ing thrown out and taken up again,
and it is we'll known that change of
state is accompanied by electrical phe-
nomena and certain chemical mani
festations also. The formation of dew
has probably therefore far more pro-
found effects than merely the moisten-
ing of objects with water.
Dew is vitaliZing not entirely be-
cause it is water, but because it pos
sesses an invigorating action due part
ly, at any rate, to the fact that it is
saturated with oxygen, and it has been
stated that during it's formation perOX-
ide of hydrogen and some ozone are
developed. 1t is not improbable that
the peculiarly attractive and refresh
ing quality which marks the early
morning air has it's origin in this way.
Certain it is that the bracing proper
ty of the early morning air wears off
as the day advances, and it is easy to
conceive that this loss of freshness is
due to the oxygen, ozone or peroxide
of hydrogen, whichever it may be, be-
ing used up.
The difficulty of inducing grass to
flourish under tree in full leaf is well
known and is generally explained by
saying that the tree absorbs the nour-
ishing constituents of the soil or that
it keeps the sunlight away from the
grass and protects it from rain. 1t is
doubtful whether any of these expla-
nations is true, the real reason most
probably being that the vitalizing dew
cannot form upon the grass under a
tree, whereas, as a rule, both rain and
light can reach it.
Dew is probably essential to the well
being of both plants and animals to
greater extent than is known.-New
York American.

A Modern Cannery.

A modern cannery is marvel Of me-
chanical ingenuity. After the fish is
cleaned automatic machines do nearly
all the remainder of the work, even in
some instances filling the cans with a
motion for all the world like that of
two human hands, one holding the can,
the other crowding it full of raw fish.
I shall not attempt to enter into de-
scription of the machinery. The can of
fish is started rolling on its way, and
one has the impression that it contin-
ues to roll through machine after ma
chine, hardly touched by human hands.
1t rolls into the cooker and out again
even rolls itself into a bright colored
label, and finally somehow rolls into a
packing box, ready to be loaded in the
car waiting at the door.-Ray Stannard

Real Fame.

Ex-Vice President Levi P. Morton,
who takes great pleasure in his estate
on the Hudson and makes common
subject with his neighbors of agri-
culture and the raising of cattle, was
once identified, to the amusement Of
a Washingtonian, by his agricultural
attachments.
The Morton carriage was whirling
through the village street one after
noon quite near where the Washing
tonian and a farmer were stand
ing.
That's Vice President Morton, isn't
it," inquired the Washingtonian.
'sVice president nothing!" was the
reply. ever heard Of Morton's cows?
Well that's Morton"'-Philadelp

Attention
Farmers!

Why remain in the North and
stay indoors six months in the
year consuming what you raise
during the other six months?
Go south where you can work
outdoors every month in the
year, and where you are pro-
ducing something the year
round. If you are a stock rails
er you know your stock are
"eating their heads off" and,
besides, have to be protected
from the rigors of winter by
expensive shelter. Cost of
production determines place of
production, and Alabama and
Florida can produce beef and
sheep cheaper than any other
state, and must become the
center of a great industry al
ready begun. Economical
stock feeding requires the COM
bination of both flesh-forming
and fat-forming foods in GER
tain proportions. Alabama
and Florida contain millions
of acres of unutilized cheap
range, and these lands when
cultivated produce in abund-
ance the velvet bean and cass-
ava, the first a flesh producer,
and the latter a fat producer;
and they are the cheapest and
best fattening materials known
to the world. If you are inter
ested and desire further infor-

A DYNAMITE LADEN GAR
Bumped by a Switch Engine With
 Disastrous Results.

Bay City. Mich, Sept. 13.-Clarence D. Hopper and Roy Bculcher. switch men of the Michigan Central road were instantly killed by an explosion of dynamite in q car in the yards of West Bay City today. Robert Robin, en- gineer; William Nolan, fireman, and Joe Craicle. conductor, were injured. the latter so severely that he may die. All the trainmen arc residents of this city.
 The explosion occurred aus the switch engine was making up the train. The engine backed down upon several cars. the first containing thousand pounds of dynamite, a. consignment of Lee Metford rifles and quantity of reduced charge shells for indoor rifle practice, and it is said the force with which the engine struck the eXplosive-laden car exploded the dynamite. Another report has it that one of the shells exploded and set off the dynamite.
 Hopper body was badly mangled- A big hole was torn in the ground by the explosion, a score of freight cars were demolished and nearly 300 houses in the vicinity suffered from broken windows and several were so badly wrecked as to be uninhabitablc. The shock was felt three miles from the scene

ANOTHER MAGNETIC POLE.
Found Near Skagway, Alaska-The
 Compass Is Useless There.

Palo Alto. Cal, Sept. 13-SaInueI Jackson Barnett. assistant professor of physics. has returned to Stanford uni versity after several months spent in survey work along the Alaskan coast. Prof. Barnett left here last May to take charge of a party sent out by the United States coast and geodetic survey to make accurate surveys of the northern country along the coast line. The party made special investigation in the peculiar magnetic disturbances which have made navigation difficult in certain localities. Near Skagway these disturbances are very severe. the de- fection Of the needle being so great that the compass is rendered useless in that vicinity. It was found that this strange state of affairs was due to the abundance of magnetic rock in the locality. This rock is present in immense quantities on Douglas island and on the mainland and near SkaS- way it is especially abundant Prof. Barnett says that there was almost a perfect magetic role at that point. He will prepare a full report on the subject for the government.

WICKED SLOT MACHINES.

Topeka. Kan. Sept. 13.-Information has reached the state house that the anti-slot machine law is being violated in several counties of the state. It is said that the local authorities in Wy andotte, Crawford and Sedgwick have made no attempt to enforce the law and that slot machines are almost as thick there as ever. Several other counties are also permitting them to TuE. Under the law it is q misdemeanor 10 'harbor" a slot machine, punishable by a fine of S100 and a thirty days sen teilce in jail. It is made the duty of the sheriff to destroy all slot machines by burning or otherwise. It is hinted that in some of the counties the officials are getting q rakeoff for letting the ma chimes run. Any citizen can make com plaint to the county attorney against the owners of these machines, and if that official refuses to prosecute he can be busted for malfeasance in office.

DETAILS GIVEN
Explosion on the Deck of
 the Olympia
THE OFFICIAL STATE.'FNI
Of the Smuggling ofAlcohol Resulting in the Death of Two Men and the Injury of Others.

Norfolk. Va, Sept. 13.-Lieut- Com nander Van Dozer. executive officer of the cruiser Olympia today gave out an official statement of the fact attending the explosion of a barrel of alcohol on the cruisers deck last night, caus- ing death to Marine Corporal Yerkas of Philadelphia, the fatal injury of Alp prentice Seifert and the serious injury of Third Class Master at Arms Caster and Apprentice Shavey, in addition to burning the cruisers forward awnings and awning supports. The explosion resulted indirectly from the smuggling of alcohol into the navy yard by mem- bers of the cruisers crew. The state ment says:
 .'The entire crew of the Olympia was returning aboard after forty-eight hours shore leave, when five gallon water beaker full of alcohol was dis covered in the forward turret. The executive officer at once ordered thorough search oi the ship and yard in her vicinity, to find any other spirits that might have been smuggled- As the cruiser is in dry dock, all the small boats were lined in rows along the wharf near the dry dock Between two of these boats two men were found. One of them fled and escaped in the darkness. The other was placed under arrest. Where the men were hiding was found full barrel of alcohol, which had been preached. It was. by order, carried aboard the Olympia to be emptied into the alcohol tank on the after deck. This tank being full, the barrel was carried. forward by Corporal Yerkes, Seifert. Spavey and Custer. In the meantime the crew was called to quarters and every man was accounted for.
 While the men were in line answer ing the roll. the detachment with the barrel began pouring it's contents into a tank on the port side of the turret- They had scarcely begun when. in d manner yet to he ascertained. the fumes of the spirits became ignited . and exploded with terrific force Both ends of the barrel were blown out. followed by a torrent or burning alco- hol that spread in a flood of flames over the forward deck Yerkes was struck in the head by a stave from the barrel and fell into the burning mass and was roasted to death. The other three men were also struck by flying fragments of the barrel, but were away lllt CSIltSI O1 liiS fire and thus two of them escaped fatal injury. but Seifert was horribly burned and so injured that he cannot recover.
 "It was at first thought that a tank of smokeless powder had exploded, and the crew for a moment broke ranks, but in a second recovered from the suGdenness of the shock and turned with a will to save the injured and eXtinguished the fire. that was already gaining headway on the cruisers deck. This done. the injured men were hur- ried to the marine hospital. where this afternoon it was stated that Seifert could not live through the night but that the other two would recover"
