Drilling a Rock.

From the Lowell Citizen
For rhythmic and unerring surety of mo-
ton commend me to three sturdy fellows
boring hole in piece of rock. Maybe
you have never watched ledgemen drilling
rock, so that you cannot exactly realize the
physical skill necessary to do this thing,
the long practice of hand and eye required
for it, One man sits upon the rock which
is being drilled and holds with his hands
between his knees, the drill which is to
pierce the rock. Two companions stand
above him and relentlessly raise and let
fall their heavy hammers upon the drill s
head. at hairs breadth from his fingers.
deviation of fraction of an inch
would mean a broken wrist or q manned
hand to this man. He does not seem to think
of it, or of the ponderous hammers crash
ing through the air over his very head.
Before each stroke of the hammer descends
he has to turn the drill in the hole. so that
the stroke Will not bear twice In the same
place. for the hole must be bored round in
order to insert the dynamite stick. The per-
feet accord. the perfect rhythm Of the mo-
lions of the three has fascination.
Were they machines these men could not
keep stricter tipe in this unending turning
of the drill under the ceaseless falling
blows. 1t is music. rude and primeval If you
will. but music to an ear alive to musical

this harmony of successive falling blows,

THE GASOLINE DANGER
Effort Of the Washington Fire Depart.
ment to Minimize Risk.

L iom the Muiuclpal journal ana Engineer.
AS part Of the great scheme of the fire
departments of the country toward the pre-
vention of fire, the regulations governing
the storing Of inflammable materials such
as gasoline and kerosene, play an impor ant
part While recognizing the need Of these
oils In private and commercial use, the on-
Ject of the departments Is to SO regulate
their storage that, as far as possible, dan
ger from fire will be eliminated. The Off
ctals of the Washington, d. c., fire depart
nent are especially anxious to eliminate
all danger from oil fires because Of the
small size Of the force, which is not large
enough to handle too great a blaze. al
though its efficiency cannot be questioned
When Robert w. Dutton became chief of
the department he recommended that one
of the foremen of the department be ap-
pointed assistant fire marshal to assist
Marshal Bieber. During the past year and
half these officials have visited every
hotel and apartment house and have re-
ported to- the Commissioners on each case.
Numerous changes have been effected in
many Instances. Daily visits made to
are carried out. No one is allowed to keep
inflammable oils for sale If any portion
of the building is occupied for dwelling pur
poses. Kerosene may be kept on such
premises in limited quantities. A vigorous
campaign has been begun by the fire de-
partment officials against gasoline, for they
consider it the duty of fire department off,
cials to do what they can to prevent as
well as extinguish fires. Gasoline, In the
opinion Of the Washington fremen, is more
dangerous than gunpowder, and is one of
the most common causes Of fire known.

JEWISH SLAUGHTERERS.
Hebrews Here Say the Methods Are
Not at All Cruel.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Jews in this city were positive yesterday
that there must have been some mistake in
the newspaper reports that Agent Tuft of
the Colorado Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Animals had sworn out warrants
for the arrest of several rabbis. alleging
that their methods of slaughtering cattle
are cruel
1t is generally believed here either that
the slaughtering was not done in accordance
with the Jewish law or that the charges
were made by some one hostile to their
faith.
That is the opinion of DR.. Joseph Silver
man. rabbi of Temple EMANUEL The
charges say that cattle are suspended by
one leg, with only the head touching the
floor, for long time before being killed,
and that their eyes were gouged out and the
animals otherwise tortured. DR.. Silverman
said that he was sure that no such things
had ever been done by an authorized slaugh-
terer of the Jewish faith.
IF such things happened he said, they
were done by some imposter who posed as
a 'shochet,' or authorized slaughterer. They
could never have been done by any one
connected with the faith, because the laws
on slaughter are clearly defined, partly by
Mosaic law and more explicitly in Rab-
binical law. The law states that no knife
with a nick on it's surface shall be used and
that If such an instrument is employed. the
duiIiidl hlllSu Will II sildli IiOl Dc uSeueu
proper for food. 1t provides that before
killing the animal the slaughterer shall pass
its blade along the edge of his fingernail to
detect hicks, and that no animal whose flesh
has been cut or lacerated shall be killed for
food.
ut is an error to suppose too, that the
rabbis kill the animals personally. Very
few do so, but license an official slaughterer.
This man is allowed to officiate only after
he has passed a very rigid examination as
to his knowledge of the laws of slaughter,
and he is under oath to follow them i'm
plicitly. The laws are observed very strict
ly. If the laws of slaughter are observed, l
cannot see how a charge of cruelty could be
made, nor how 1t could be said that an ami
NAL was left hanging by one leg for long
time. The animal as a matter of fact.
scarcely, If ever, hangs for more than twen-
ty or thirty seconds. When the knife has
been inspected and everything is all ready.
a hook is inserted in one of the hind legs of
the steer. A man holds its head down
while two others, by means of pulleys.
quickly hoist up its hind legs. Then, with
out delay, the slaughterer cuts its throat"

in our daily lives We should have op-
portunities to express the feelings and
sentiments tfat are in our hearts. Today
very few give the labor movement credit
Tor the sentiment that 1t does possess. But
tell you now that every effort we have
made to get more pay. more rights and
more time for ourselves has been that We
might enjoy the blessings of our family life
and give to our people that which Is high
and good and noble.
81 nere is not today any other associated
movement that has done so much for the
uplifting of men as the labor movement. 1t
was the much-abused labor organizations
that took the children out of the shops
and factories and put them in their homes.
AND l say there is nothing you have done
In your whole history that reflects more
credit to you than your contributions 10
the Printers Home which was established
by the International Typographical Union
in Colorado Springs.
AS you know. it is the custom of the
people of the United States to commemo-
rate the deeds of the soldiers of the civil
war. l ask you why they should always
be called heroes If those men who died
giving their lives for the rights of labor
are to be srigmatized 'hobos?' You live
your lives well and do your duty by your
fellow-man and you will be heroes. 1t is
better to know how to live than to know
how to die.

In thinking of your dead" said Mr..
Livernash, remember that they were
humble men, working men, and, above all
else. union men. In being humble they did
right. for honest humility is indeed a
virtue. 1t Is well also for. us to remember
that they were working men, for whatever
may be said about the dignity Of work,
we know that the world often forgets that
labor Is the excellent thing 1t is depicted to
fe. We are SO forgetful. and nowhere
mere so than In this prideful capital of
ours. So let us remember the honest toll

Well for you to remember that. Organized
lator today holds the highest place 1t has

ahout. And in this action what did they
doI They simply assisted in applying the
principles OF justice to the working world
and saw to it that morality was brought
to the aid of toll. So in this hour we must
remember to be grateful to this little band
