Rafael TroZ2i warmed his giant pow
der once too often at the Port Orchard
stone quarries. Tho premature explo-
sion which followed blew the work
man into atoms. and might have
proved fatal to many others. Trozzi
who comes from Italy, was in the en-
ploy of the Seattle Bridge company in
the quarries. His body was brought
to this city by number of his coun-
trynlen. who are employed with him.
A peculiar feature of the affair is
that whom Tro2zi went into the air
through the sudden impulse of the
giant powder he had in his pockets
about 500 in gold. When he was
found the money in his clothing, to-
gethcr with n $50 gold pioca which
had lodged deep in the branch of a
tree about 80 feet away, amounted
10 just 500 50 his friends are still look
ing for the other 81. 1t is said that
the remains wore brought to this city
in very small package.
Tho explosion occurred when no one
was Watchin" the movements of TroZ-
ri. but he had been known to warm
his giant Dowder before using il. and
it is said had often been warned of
the danger of this practice. The pow
der was to be used in blasting ont
stone in the Quarry.--Seattle Post-ln'

Environment and Genius.

1t appears that n child born where
he could first Willingly open his eyes
upon noble square, framed in by
palaces whose lrescOed and scllp-
tured fronts should face in gardcneG
spaces a lovely fountain with groups
OF beautiful statuary glimpscd through
the leaves and waters, ought to feel
the impulse to creative art far more
than child that first looks out on
a barn and a hen house, with a pump
in the foreground, and n woodshed
struggling along in the middle dis
tance, and some cattle emerging from
tho backgrounds or on an empty vii
lage street, athwart a dOorNarl with
the Mondays wash hanging out in it.,
Yet the chances Immensely are that
the farm-born or vllage.born boy will
feel the divine influence which will
not visit the soul of the city-born; o.
II city-birth is not wholly alien to the
creative will. that II shall stir in the
spirit of some hoy born in mean
house, on back street. or over a
shop. and not in the heart of hoy
born in n palace ON a noble square.
AS yet, no one can say why this should
be, though no one can deny that il is
so. and we venture with much modest
misgiving a theory which will not
perhaps hold halfway, if so far as
that.-W. ID. Howells, in Harpers'

Habits of Southern Quail.

''In the wooded parts of the South
the quail in January are found among
the trees and saplings, because they
find more food and shelter there, but in
February they return to the fields, and
during this month all of the quail shot
will be found In the open," said George
G. Johnson, of New York. who has just
returned from Southern hunting trip.
The reason for this" continued Mr..
Johnson, sis that young grass is sprout-
ing in the fields and the quail are very
fond of the new shoots. Just at this
time all the quail shot have their
crops filed with young grass, which is
both succulent and nOurishing. There
is not a great deal of cover in the fields,
and the birds are very wild, running
ahead of the dogs in the field and scat.
tcring badly when flushed. In few
weeks though, they begin to mate and
grow very much less cautious. WASH

ENRICUlNG THE SOIL.

In growing clover for cnriching the
soil the only benefit derived in that
direction is the nitrogen gained by the
clover. The ground will also require
potash, lime and phoSphoric acid,
which must be supplied in some man
ner, but potash and phoSphorlc acid
cost only about one-third the sum re-
CURED for nitrogen. and that is why
clover is 50 valuable in the system
OF rotation of crops ON the farm.

SUESOILINl,

Good results have been obtained by
blowing tn" land following with sub.
soil plow, and then running Il roller
over the land. Land so treated stands
the drought better than it does when
simply plowcd and not rolled, for the
reason that when the soil is hard Il
large quantity of water flows off. If
plOwed and rolled the soil is first
lOoscned and then compactcd. absorb
ing the moisture slowed in the lower
soil which is brought to the surface by
capillary attraction. If the soil is
drained the warm air enters. and the
land receives more moisture from the
rains of summer.
