KEGS THAT BLOW UP,
They Look Empty and Harmless, but
They Are Full of Danger.

Anto Colman, a veteran dynamite
man, is perhaps one of the oldest of all
the old-timers and has been looking
afer high explosives for the past
twenty-five or thirty years. He has been
on the most of the big jobs in Massa-
chusets and in many parts of New
England and has had many hair
breadth ESCAPES and exciting adven-
lures. Mr.. CoIman is about 20 years
old. and was born in Maine.
Dynamite and the blasting powder
which we have to-day is much diff
eren from what it used to be in the
days when 1 first started in the BUSH
ness" said Mir. Colman, land l am not
as well posted on everything as | might
like to be. but there are some things
about handling powder that when a
man learns them once he never forgetS
as long as he lives, and no matter what
kind of powder is used or how much the
style changes it is all the same; they
will still be careful and watch their bus
mess nightly close. OF course, of all
the explosives nitroglycerine is the most
dangerous and the hardest to get along
with. 1t has as many moods and is as
spoiled child or woman who wants
her own way.
Il never got over my great respect
for this explosive, and even to-day I
treat it with great Difference. and will
be as gentle and as peaceful in it's pres
ence as any tyro. A man can never get
any experience in handing nitroglyc-
crime: the more he handles it the less
he is liable to know about it. For he
realizes more and more how uncertain
it is.
why even the kegs that nitroglyc-
crime comes in are white elephants on
a mans hands for they are mighty
hard to get rid of. L tell you The wood
has been so thoroughly saturated with
the stuff that it cannot be burned and
they can't be left laying around loose,
for some one is sure to come along
them and bang something into them
and off goes the roof.
Il remember a fellow out in the wes-
tern part of the State, several years
ago, who came along with hammer in
his hand. He sat down on an empty
key and playfully am
used himself by tapping the slaves
with his hamer. l saw him and ran
to a safe place and tried my best to
warn him by shouting, but it was no
use: the key finally blew up with a loud
report and the por fellow fingered
in the hospital about two weeks be-
fore he died.
Il am even more afraid of these emp
ty nitroglycerine kegs than am of the
explosive itself or of any other kinds
of powder or dynamite. You can al
ways tell when to be careful when the
real stuff is around, but if some one
happens to leave an empty key or bar
rel in the way you might not know it
until you had dropped crowbar or
sledge hammer into it or tipped it over
and then, after you found it out you
would be in no humor to tell anyone
of your discovery.
1.-THE only way to get rid of those
empty kegs or barrels is to take them
out into an open field and fire a pistol

UNDERGROUND WORKERS.
Nearly Four and a Half Million People
Who Delve in the Earth for livinq.

According to a recent computation
made in France there are 4,355, 900 per-
sons of both sexes who spend their
lives procuring from the earth such
indispensable products as coal, metals
and salt as well as others like prec-
ious stones, which cannot be classed
among other necessarieS. Most of
these toilers spend their working
hours far below the surface. Not many
years the treatment which thousands
of them received, and particularly the
women and children who toiled in the
deep coal mines in Great Britain, be-
came a public scandal. The adoption
or humane laws led to change in the
dissraceful conditions under which
the world have now pleasant exist
ance compared with that which they
they worked and lived. The miners of

ers are in the gold mines, and prac-
tically all are negroes under white
overseers. The worst thing about
their life is that the Beers or the
Transvaal have never consented to
suppress the liquor saloons near the
mine. The Transvaal Government
has drawn large revenue from these
saloons by means of a heavy license
tax. The result is that most of the
black miners have spent a large part
of their earnings in drink, and many
murders, robberies and other crimes
have occurred.
thousands of black men also work
| in the deep diamond mines at KIM
berly. The most peculiar feature of
| their employment is that during the
term of their contract they are prison.
ers. They live inside a large COM
pound surrounded by a high board
fence on which guards are mounted
| as on the walls of Sing Sing Prison.
| Every morning they are marched out
to the mines and every night they are
marched back again. Inside the COM
pound are the rude cabins in which
J they sleep; and here and there are
shops where they may buy everything
| they require. Liquor, however, is kept
away from them and so the years spent
| In the mines are far more profitable
to them in every way than is the case
among the gold miners.
The United Kingdom has over one
tenth of all the subtraennean work
ers of the world. They are mainly en-
gagged in the coal and iron mines of
| western and central England and south
Scotland and in the tin mines of Corn

have now reached great depths and
the day IS not far distant when some
of them will be abandoned, as
it will be cheaper to import than to
sink to greater depths for mineral
The United Kingdom has nearly twice
as many miners as there are in the
United States. Germany also gives
work to more miners than this country
employs; and yet this country turns
out great deal more iron and Goa
than either of these kingdoms. The
reason why we obtain far greater
product with q much smaller mining
force is that we use a great deal of i'm
| proved mining machinery; so thai
though we pay the highest wages tbs
cost of mining is less in this country
than i'll most European lands.
