One From Nebraska.

Mrs A. p Croft hans us h c"py Of the
Catoctin Clarion, published at Thurmont,
Maryland, and called our attention to an
item which looks Odd to wcsteIner. II is
Of record breaking corn husker. The
young man who made this record huskcd
l3 barrels (G5 Lrshels) of corn "bcsidcs the
nubs' and did his work we'll Says the
paper "lhis is hard to beat" Yes, that's
certainly something wonderful. While We
are not informed as how many bushels of
"nubs,' he huskcd, tie IS bushels of corn
would be boys work in the Gieat West.
What would the Maryland farmers say to a
man husking 130 bushels in eigh. hours and
twenty MINUTES, without shoyeling. That's
up in the "iccord" class in these parts
OF course these huskers don't count the rows
in every ear or dig out the silk between
them. Our cattle are not iussy and cal the
"nubs" with evident relish and the few hun
dred bushels scattered about getting to the
CRIB is eaten Ivy the ducks and geese and
turkeys and chickens and quails and prairie
chickens and snowblrds. The west lives
and lets I've and has plenty left.-Colcr dgc,
Neb., Blade
THE above comment is taken from the
Coleridge, Ne1 Blade of last week and re-
fers to an item clipped by us from the Union
Bridge Pilot We know great things are
done in the West, but the Blaole should in
form itself rs to how many bushes constitute
a "bcrrel' in Maryland. The Blt1e says,
"13 barrels, IS bushels" Please to uo'e that
in this locality 10 bushels constitute barrel
in ears, which would be 1870 bushels, plus
the nuhs for the Marylandcr per day. To
make the above as great as it appears, we
would reckon the 139 bushels Ms shelcd corn.
which would be equal to q barrels and 8
bushels in ears in Maryland. Great is the
Vest and the stories thereof.-ED

EueZ Canal Explosion.

Details nave come 10 mana ol tue
methods adopted when the steamship
"Chatham," which recently sank in the
Srez Canal with load of dynamite on
board, was removed by blowing up the
vessel. Some curiosity has been e1-
rressed as to tie way in which the de-
tonatlon of this large amount of high
explosive was made at once certain and
safe and we are indebted to an Egyp-
tian paper published on the day after
the removal Of the wreck, for an accur
ate description Of the greatest explosion
Of dynamite en- record. The steam
ship "Chatham," when it took fire and
was scuttled in the Suez Canal, had on
board about 100 tons Of dynamite, as
well as supply of Decorators. The
blowing up If the ship was accomplish
ed by means of large mines. each con-
tanning 800 pounds of explosive and fit.
ted with the proper electric fuses, One
of tho mines was placed by divers in
the hold in which the cases Of dyna-
mite had been loaded, and the Other
mine was lowered into the hold con-
tanning the decorators. Cables were
led from the mines to tie shore, where
they were connected to two Of the tele.
phone wires on the banks Of the canal.
The firing station was located thee
miles from the sunken wreck, and af-
ter the circuits had been tested by
sending small current through cleo
trio resista nee fuses, the mines Were
fired. An enormous column of water
and debris Immediately arose, and as
ccnded continuously for five seconds,
the estimated height Of the column be
ing over 1900 feet. The report cf the
explosion reached the fling point in
sixteen seconds after the firing key had
been depressed, and 1t was noted that
the report was not particularly loud.
The earth tremor, however, was felt
almost simultaneously, in fact, while
.4e firing key was still depressed. Al
though half a minute after the explo-
sion the greater part of the debris had
fallen, the air continued for over two
minutes to be obscured with what look.
edlike mist. Although telephone wires
were torn from the posts opposite the
explosion, the blast was not sufficient
to throw down the posts themselves.
The water of the canal oyerfowed the
surrounding country for thousand
yards in every direction, and fragments
{ the ship were distributed over a cir
lie of 1860 yards in diameter. The
enormous downward thrust Of the ex-
plosion was shown when soundings
came to be taken over the spot where
The ship had lain. Here was found a
huge hole, 70 feet IN depth. This is
the greatest explosion Of dynamite ever
recorded, the nearest approach to it
