per man to hold the story" until De-
cember 81. Apprehension that the news

caused the paper to which the secret
was intrusted to make 1t public at this
time.

an eye on the immense network Of af-
fairs In which he has been master for

CLIMATE AND CONSERVATION.

We are to-day learning the truth that there is no particular climate for con- sumption. Wherever can be found pure air-the less moisture in it the better there will the sufferer from tuberculo- sis be able to fight his disease, some times to a successful finish, if he can at the same time obtain the proper rest and food.
 Two generations ago this doctrine would have been hooted at as the de- fusion of madman, yet it is the truth. The mountain sanatoria of Switzerland the pine woods of Prussia, of Canada and of New York, the ice fields of Alas ka bear witness to it. Tuberculosis is stopped by the pure air of all these varied climates; and it has been ae- cident for more than design, experi- ence far more than theory, that foundl this out.

It is Sometimes a Very Difficult Matter
 to Buy One.
 The American custom of glancing over the morning paper as you sip your coffee at breakfast goes with you abroad, but 1t is no simple thing al- ways to get a morning paper. On coming down to breakfast the first morning in Edinburgh, I found there was no paper to be had but, thinking 1t was a simple matter to buy Scots- man on the street. I went out on Princes street and walked three blocks without the sight of newsboy. ''Where can I get the morning Scots- man?' I said to policeman. He thought for a moment. "Weel,' said lie, there's a great news shop aboot three blocks up, and ye might find one there." I followed the direction and found myself in large news distribu- ting depot. There were stacks and stacks of newspapers and magazines all about. q would like the morning s Scotsman" said. The man in charge looked bewildered. 'Ill see" !" he said, If we ave one" He fumbled around a little while, and then went back into the rear of the store for fully three minutes. At last he came back, saving. "We haven't one." Well" I said. "this Is about the strangest thing I have seen. Can't get the morning pa- per here in Edinburgh" No" he said, 'yeIl find 1t diffeecult." 'What do they publish papers here for. any,
 way? I rejoined. Do they want to keep them out of the hands of the people? Don't they want people to read them? Do they print papers to keep the news secret? He bridied at once. T want ye to understand" he said, "that the Scotsman is not publis- ed for the general publeek; it's publish ed for the subcreebers,"
 The Scotsman, you know, probably ranks next to the London Times In my country publishers want to have their newspaper read. They want to sell all they can. Thev didn't try to keep them out of the hands of the gen. eral publeek.' Can you tell me where can get one, for want to see the morning paper though perhaps l shall have to get letter of introduction to buy one?" "Weel," he answered. there's a woman about hundred wards from here that takes the Scots- man. She might sell you hers,' I took the direction carefully, found the wo- man who took the Scotsman-she kept a thread and needle store-I bought her copy, and reached the hotel half hour late for breakfast, which had ordered before going out on the difficult quest of buying a morning paper in the great city or Edinburgh.-Boston Watchman,

EXPLOSIONS OF DUST.

Small Particles That Have Caused
 Great Disasters.
 Coal is the carbonized remains of tree mosses. Oddly enough, these mosses were the big forefathers of the moss we know as lycopodium, which in a powdered state is used to produce flash signals. This will help to give an idea of the intensely inflammable nature of coal dust,
 Some of the best coal in the world is cut from what is known as the Merthyr four foot seam, and this seam is one of the dustiest in the world. It is a terrible fact that over 1,600 men have lost their lives on this seam in the last half century.
 Some years ago one of the inspectors of mines conducted a number of ex- A disused shaft 15O feet deep was chosen for the purpose. Samples of dust from different collieries were col lected for the purpose. When two hun dredweight of dust was emptied down q shaft and charge of gunpowder fired the result was startling.
 Huge tongues of flame sixty feet in height shot up from the mouth of the shaft and enormous columns of smoke rose high in the air, forming a great black pail over the scene of the ex- plosion. On the other hand, when high explosives were used no effect at all was produced on the dust.
 But colliers are not the only workers who have to dread dust dangers AL most every kind of dust which is com posed of infammable material will ex- plode when touched by a naked light. Maltsters are often heavy in this way for malt dust is shockingly explosive. One of the biggest disasters of this kind in recent years was the complete de- struction of the premises of ths lspwich Mating Company. These were six stories high, 700 feet long and 50 wide and they were completely gutted by a malt explosion, which set fire to them. There were 10000 quarters of grain in | the building at the time, and the | damage was estimated at G50,000. Messrs. Whitbread suffered in simi- | lar manner, large building near the l Barbican used for grinding malt hav- ing been badly damaged. In this case the cause of the fire is said to have been the spontaneous combustion of the malt dust which was suspended in l the air.
 1 The careless housemaid who uses the contents of the sugar basin to light the fire knows that nothing burns more easily than powdered sugar. Proprie- | tors of large swestmeat factories have learned that there is danger from this source.
 In 1898 sugar explosion took place in a Boston factory. It originated in a room where marshmallows were being made. These sweets are coated with finely pulyerized sugar, and the atmos- phere was hot and dry, and laden with this finely divided dust, Two girls were badly hurt and the premises fired by the explosion.
 In the manufacture of linoleum nc unprotected lights are allowed In tho mixing department. This is on account of the great danger of exploding thu cork dust floating in the air.
 Additional danger in linoleum mak- ing is that the mixture of cement ant cork dust has the unpleasant property of spontaneously if left in warn place. It is therefore, customary tt mix the material 8 sackful at time il
