..... a.. .r1AT EXPLODED.
A Bartenders Experience Under Fire OF a
Fusillade Of SeItzer.

A Bartender's Experience Under Fire OF a
Fusillade Of Seltzer.
"Do you know" said Billy Clark, of
the Grand hotel, to Cincinnati Times
Star reporter, as big seltzer bottle
fixed and two or three men on the out
side elevated a foot each on the railing
and looked on, that these seltzer
water bottles will explode easily?"
And the three men each put a foot down
on the floor and moved slightly away.
Sometimes just the temperature of the
hand will do it, the warm hand, placed
against it while bringing it from a cold
room, or sometimes while lifting it one
will strike it against the counter and 1T
will explode and the metal top will be
driven with great force by the gas.
One time, while at the Gibson, refused
to give a man drink. He took it very
much to heart and went away vowing
he would get even with me. l had
turned about as he went out and had
my back to him. Suddenly there came
a sound like a pistol shot. | tried to
turn around and couldn't, and L was
sure the man had carried his threat
into effect and had shot me. Directly
following that explosion came another
and another, and there was a rapid suc
cession of explosions. Then l knew
the man had opened a regular fusillade
on me, and yet was riveted to the spot.
1 could not stir. I thought had been
paralyzed by a bullet. Come to find out
one of these seltzer water bottles in the
far end of the counter had exploded
and the concussion had started the
others, until all had exploded that were
on that shelf And the man had gone
away and / never saw him again. But
[ never will forget my experience OF
that night, when l was sure had been
shot"

NEW MOTIVE POWER.
Two Great railroads May adopt
Electric fraction.

Chicago, Dee. The use of cleo
tr,ctv a. the motive power OF cross
ing the mountains is being thoroughly
investigated by both the Northern Pa
cit c and the Great Northern Roads I,
with every probability of is early
adoption. The change, if mrde, Will
be in the interest of economy in opera
ton. The coal consumption is SO
enormous in the mountains that the
railways would be glad to adopt cleo
trio traction if the electrical engineers
could prove the economy OF it.
A steam railway expert from one of
the largest electric manufacturing
companies has recently spent several
weeks Investigating the possibilities
of electric traction on the Northern Pa
cihc IN Washington.
The Great Northern's motive power
department. has al3O given great deal
of tention to the problem. The North
ern Pacific crosses the Cascade Range
by the Stampede Pass through the
Stampede Tunnel, while the Great
Northern, which form .Ily had switch
back in Stevens Pass, now uses the
Cascade Tunnel at the same point
The coal consumption Of both roads
through the mountains is very heavy.
The Northern Pacific is very fortunate
in having it's own coal fields on DO h
sides of the mountains. 1t has mines
on the western side of the Cascades IN
the Carbon RIVER district. about 35
miles southeast of Tacoma. Its prlnci-
pal mine is at Roslyn, on the eastern
side of the mountains, few miles
from the Stampede Tunnel. The Great
Northern is not so fortunate in it's coal
supply in the mountains. 1t buys
great deal of coal from the Northern
Pacific Along the Northern Pacific on
the Great Northern in the Cascade
country, there are great many water
powers which coul1 be utilized in
generating electricity.

The German government was the first
to begin active work of dem olshing its
buildings. A large force of men began
to tear down the Prussian railway ex-
hib t, which was one of tre first install
ed. Director Of Works Tavlor stated to-
night that the first Of re Exposition
buildings to fall before the onslaught of
the wreckers will be the sock barns.
Of the exhibit palaces the Horticultural
building probably will be the first Sc
lected for razing, and as all of its perish
able exhibits will be removed in q short
time, it may be less than a fortnight be-
fore wo,k on it is begun.
As for the 9th r exhibit buildings.
they probably will stand all winter, as
it will be fully 80 days before they are
cleared of their contents. They will be
turned over to the wreckers as fast as
emptied.
