His Good Fortune Fatal.

1t is possible to livelong in melancholy
and to die swiftly from JOY. So 1t has
proved with Paris carpenter named
Fermet. He had worked for years In
a chronic state of melancholy, aggra-
waited by want of money, and all the
circumstances seemed to point to a
long continuance of this condition Of
things when suddenly and quite out
side the poor fellows expectations
there came to him the news that he
was the possessor by bequest OF
$4,000. Fermet almost went frantic
with delight. His nerves stood the
recurrence of thrills all day, but IN
the evening he got among the Long
champs cafes and was relating his
luck for about the twentieth time when

MORE VICTIMS 70 sAyxrY
POWDER ACCIDENT LIST

Five more victims of alleged
safety explosives have been added to
the already long death and accident
list AZ result Of experimenting with
a new explosive on the Western
Pacific railroad, now in course of con-
struction in California.
The tragedy occurred while blast
ing compound termed Aspo WAS being
tested mixture composed large
ly Of chlorate of potash, and exceed
ingly dangerous Lecause so unstable
and treacherous. Explosives Of such
nature, authorities declare, should
only be handled by chemical experts
with laboratory care and appliances.
AS result Of this and other recent
accidents from chlorate Of potash
explosives, the public is warned Of
the extreme caution necessary in ex-
perime nting with them.
OF the five victims in this instance
one, the foreman in charge, was bad
ly injured while protesting to the
demonstrators OH the danger involved.
They laughed at the idea, declaring
the compound could not be exploded
by means of q strong cap or denator.
Heavy damage suits have been threat
ened in consequence.
1t is emphasized that premature ex-
plosions in the use of explosives made
with chlorate of potash are due to
the instability of such MIXTURES, par
ticularly after they have been exposed
to atmospheric conditions or acted
upon by moisture, rs they are ex-
trcmely sensitive to friction after
having taken up moisture and drying
out again.
Similar reports of fatal tiles are
current, Avoca, Pennsylvania, being
the scene Of a disaster with just such
an ex plosive on April /, besides other
recent explosions of serious nature.
If rules governing and licensing
the manufacture of explosives We're
enforced here as in Europe, the ex-
ploitatioh of freak explosives-the
great majority of which contain
chlorate Of potash as basis-would
be prevented, and many deploring
accidents avoided.

And Then He Felt Bad.

An actor without funds managed
in some way to get a second class
ticket on line of steamers running
between Seattle and San Francisco
The voyage between these two points
consumed the better part Of three days
and in view of the fact that his
finances were at low ebb, he solved
the question this way: The first day
out he slept all day to keep from
eating, and remained up all night
to keep from sleeping. The second
day he took physical culture exercises.
On the third day he could stand the
strain no longer, and went down to
the dining room and ordered the
best meal on board the boat. While
eating this meal he could see in his
minds eye picture Of cell in the
bastile in San Francisco. After
finishing his meal he said to the
waiter: How much do l owe you ?"

Alsatian Bows.

One of the most fashionable acces-
sores to bridesmaids costumes at
present are the Alsatian bows for the
hair. These are especially suitable
for young girls, either for the occa-
sions of weddings or for evening
functions. They are exceedingly
dashing in appearance and yet very
simple, and are much more becoming
to young girls than feather or
aigrette ornaments, while they are
also newer though not more becom-
ing than the leaf or flower wreaths.
The bow goes directly in front, a
twisted piece of the material going
around the high coiffure as snood.
The bows may be made either of
gauze sprinkled with crystals, gold
spangles, ETC., of liberty satin or vel
vet to match or contrast with cos
tune, or of cloth of gold or silver
The bow is quite large and very

BIO RED ROOSTER
IS A DOC FIGHTER


1t is not often that barnyard fowl
attains neighborhood popularity, but
such is the case with large Massa-
chusetts red rooster belonging to
Charles Davis Of 44l5 st. John ave-
nue.. A few weeks ago Mr.. Davis
was attracted to his barnyard by the
whines of hslf-grown setter pup he
is training. He found that the dog
had been driven into corner, and
was being savagely attacked by the
big cock, and before he could interfere
in behalf of the pup it had been pret-
ty heavily marked by the ROSTERS S
spurs.
Since that time Red as he has
come to be called, has become a
neigilborhood bully, and refuses to
allow pigs or dogs to come within the
grounds under his rule. Curiously
enough, dogs will not fight back,
but actually run from his assaults.
As for game cocks, he has probably
tlirashed more of them than any other
bird in the city. Kansas City Jour

THE BIG BROOCHES ~
ARE ALL The GO

Big brooches are all the go-real
big ones, such as were worn two gen.
erations ago; only, with the excep.
tion Of the cameo pins, they are more
gorgeous affairs. The modern big
brooch CLEANS and sparkles or is a
sheet Of vivid color. There is MOTH
ing demure about it it is a strik
ing, effective ornament.
Most Of the big pins hold single
semi precious stone. The stone makes
the brooch, for the setting is simply
a narrow rim about it. Transparent.
stones arc not, as rule, backed
with setting, as this detracts from
their appearance.
Amethyst and topaz seem to out
number other transparent stones used
for these big brooches, such rs garnet,
peridot, aqua mari ne, etc. Well cut
topaz pins CLEAN like living fire,
the amethyst pins glow with more
subdued light.

Where Amber 10 Found.

Santo Domingo is one of the few
places in the world where amber
occurs in any quantity. The bulk
Of the supply comes from the vicinity
Of Konigsberg, on the Baltic sea.
There 1t occurs in the lower oligocene
and appears to have deposited origi-
nally in glauconitic beds of clay,
which WAS afterward eroded by wave
action and the amber distributed,
though much of it is taken from beds
in which it WAS originally deposited.
Amber is simply fossilized rosin,
derived apparently from certain con-
ferrous trees. Tho conditions under
which 1t occurs in Santo Domingo do
not appear to differ substantially
from the Baltic sea coast. II is found
near Santiago City, associated with
Ignite, sandstone and onglomerates.
These beds probably belong to the
oligoccne formation and are found
containing amber Mt number of
places on the northco,lst, M we'll as on
both flanks Of the Monte Cristi range.
II also frequently occurs in the
streams flowing through these beds.
The amber Is usually found in ovate
Jumps, from the size Of q pea to
mans fist, often hAttencnd, dull on
tho exterior, being covered with .
kind Of brownish crust. -MAxwell's

day afternoon, resulted in a score of :

umpire gave decision that he found
later to be wrong and then tried to
reverse it, Canon wouldn't stand for
the reversal, claiming that it was
contrary to the rules Of the game.
The same thing came up here yester-

action Of Canon in the previous game,
would not allow reversal CT the
decision Of the umpire. Disagreeable
