lO came to consider the explosion
one of the luckiest things that
had ever occurred in his work
shop. Its happening so soon after he
reached st. Petersburg he looked upon
as particularly fortunate, because this
gave him time to follow the new trend
of thought along which his mind had
been DETECTED by such knowledge as
the unexpected outcome of his expert
ment had disclosed to him. The ma
terial he had used as a catalytic agent
was a new substance which he had
read of in a scientific r&view and he
had purchased a small quantity of it
In London. If such a minute portion

gan to see that man with an APP
parently innocent material in his waist
coat pocket might probably be able to
destroy a naval harbor, SO long as wa
ter and stone were in conjunction.
There was also aapoSsibility that a
small quantity OF oZak, as the stuff
was called, mixed with pure water,
would form reducing agent for lime
stone and perhaps for other minerals,
which would work much quicker than

Indianapolis, May 2O.-Private Sec

HUGGED SWEETHEART AND
BROKE COLLAR BONE

Winsted, Conn, Nov. 1S.-From
Killingsworth comes the story of how
James Brokett, while kissing his
sweetheart, Miss Hattie Leonard,
goodnight, Friday, fractured his

tune, because, he says, Samuel Leon
ard shouted from his bedroom:
There Is ar other night coming. why
don't you let Hattie go to bed?
She's got to make butter tomorrow.
Brokett started to leave and on the
landing embraced the girl. He slip
ped on the frost-covered porch and
both went tumbling to the bottom.

hitch up team and take the young
mar to doctor.

a peanut vine with many character
istics of the sweet pea. Last sum-

pea flowers on those of the peanut
vine, with the result that the latter
shows stems and blossoms resembling
that of the sweet peas. The peanuts
are unusually large and fine.

ator, especially if he or she be

More Mighty Tremblors

The daily papers come to us
with an account of another mighty
earthquake, felt all around the
globe, but whose chief damage is
confined to the almost total des-
truction of the towns of Chilpanc-
lingo and Chilpa with a combined
population of 10000 in the state of
Guerrero, Mexico, which occurred
on Sunday night. There has
been very perceptible tremblings
of the earth every day since then
which was felt here on Monday by
some of our citizens. Great loss
of life occurred at Tixtla, where
the streets are strewn with dead.

Mrs. Gostze Returns.

Mrs. A. G. Goethe, who has
been spending the past ten
months in North Dakota with rel
%atives, returned Friday. She was
in the country where the fuel fa-
mine caused such hardship the
past winter. While there was but
little suffering in the immediate
neighborhood where she lived,
there was great fear of it. and
families doubled up to save fuel,
stores, churches and school
houses were closed on account of
the lack of fuel. The snow be-
gan in the middle of November
and never let up until the first of
March. Trains were blockaded
on branch lines for months and
on main lines for weeks at a time.
People burned oats, corn and the
seeds of weeds that fell from the
thresher after being separated
from the grain. Mrs. Goethe in
describing the intense cold of that
country said that the frost on the
window panes was so thick it
came out even with the sash in
the living rooms and little troughs
with Gems or buckets, were fasten-
ed to the inside of the sill, to
catch the melting frost and keep
it from running on the floor.
Mrs. Goethe and little daughter
Vestal are very glad to get back
to Saratoga once more.
