BURNED ALIVE IN OVEN
Fate of Worker in Paris
Factory.

George Munce. a Briton employed
in Paris, was recently cremated alive
in an oven used to reduce refuse to
manure at the Medium works, st.
Ouen. 1t is not clear whether he
had fallen asleep or was cleaning at
the far end of the oven, but the other
men, forgetting or not knowing that
he was there, let down the iron door
and set fires going at full blast.
Three-quarters of an hour later his
absence caused dreadful suspicion
to seize the men. They banked
down the fires, pulled open the door,
and discovered close to it heap of
charred remains. Munce had made
frantic endeayors to release himself,
for with his scraper he had bored a
hole in the wall of the oven several
inches deep before being overcome
by the heat. AS the oven took 30
minutes to heat to combustion point
his agony must have been prolonged.

LIKE A CHARIOT OF GOLD.

Most Of the automobiles that fly
around through the streets of New
York are painted in fairly quiet col
orS, the only exceptions to this be-
ing the occasional one seen that is
either all red or white. But there is
one that fairly outshines, or rather
outglitters, these nowadays, in the
case of big runabout that is COM
pletely covered with some sort of
gilt-bronze paint that is as loud az
the average show wagon in a circus.
At night when It's lamps are lighted,
and particularly late at night, when
the streets are rather dark, az this

DISSOLVED GAS.

.aceUvlene is now careIully purl-
fed, washed and dried and stored IN
cylinders in dissolved form, safety In
using the compressed gas being thus
insured. Cylinders of any desired
size are filled with such porous alb
sorbent as asbestos or special char
coal cement, making explosion IN the
cylinder impossible, and the porous
material is then soaked with a fixed
quantity of acetone, volatile or
ganic liquid having the peculiar
property of absorbing % times Its
own volume of acetylene at atmos-
pheric pressure and 60 degrees f.,
and a greater proportion at increased
pressure. In practice, the acetone
is so regulated in quantity that the
cylinders contain ten times their
own volume of acetylene for every
atmosphere of pressure. The CON-
preston being ten atmospheres, the

remarkable story:
"One evening was quietly sit

written, was: Opera, by all means.
Then | asked What operas | re-

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.

For the past ten days an unpre-
cedented condition has existed in
the financial world. For the first
time, perhaps, in the history OF the
United States practically every
banking institution in the country
has discontinued the payment OF
currency to its depositors, except
in limited quantities.
The condition originated, where
periods of financial depression
usually do originate, in stock
gamblers panic i'll Wall street. A
heavy slump in the values OF the
various industrial and railway
stocks, amounting in some in
stances to fifty per cent, preclpltat-
ed the panic and caused trouble
to some of the large Eastern banks,
where these stocks were held as
securities against loans.
The real trouble, however, seems
to have been caused by the banks
in the great financial centers, eth
er from loss of confidence or fear
of run by their depositors, lock
ing up in their vaults millions
of dollars in currency which is
usually at this time of year flowing
from the north and east to the
south, for the purpose of moving
the cotton crop.
As is we'll known, the smaller
banks of the country keep their
surplus funds, beyond the cash
necessary for the daily transaction
of business, deposited in the larger
banks of the cities. This is done
so that a depositor in country
bank may send his check to St.
Louis, for instance, and the party
receiving it in st. Louis will depos-
it it in a bank in his city, from
which it is returned to the coun-
try bank for payment. The latter
then sends to the St. Louis bank
a check on the bank in St. Louis
in which it carries its deposits. If
this policy were not followed,
everyone RENTING money to dis
tant city would be compelled to
buy postoffice or express money
orders. In like manner, when a
country merchant ships cotton to
Little Rock or St. Louis, he attach
es draft to the bill of lading, de-
posts them in his local bank,
which sends it to its Little Rock or
St. Louis correspondent, as these
banks are called, where it is col
lected and deposited to the credit
of the country bank. And when
the country bank needs currency,
it simply orders this correspondent
bank to ship certain amount to it
by express.
But when the eastern banks,
which are the source of the money
that buys the south's cotton, re-
fused to make shipments of money,
the St. Louis banks could not get
it, the Little Rock banks could
not get it from St. Louis, and the
Conway banks could not get it
from Little Rock. AS a natural
consequence, the local banks were
forced to discontinue the payment
of currency to its deposit0rs.
How long this condition will
exist, no one, unless it is the east
ern 6nanciers, knows. The daily
papers report that conditions are
growing better each day, but so
far the tension on the actual mon
ey has not been released.
1t is a matter for congratulation
that the local depositors have SO
readily grasped the situation and
have so cheerfully met the enforced
conditions. In the end it may be
a benefit, in that it will force the
holding of large amount of cotton
that would perhaps have other
