WORK OF THE DYNAMlTER.
Not the SafebIOwer or the Anarchist
hut the PrnfessfnnaI

Not the SafebIOwer or the Anarchist,
but the Pro9essional.
'Srhe finished type of the dynamiter
is the man who has had the ability to
rise and the luck to survive long enough
to graduate from the plant and become
an agent. In his best embodiment the
explosives agent is something of a
chemist, something Of a quarryman,
something of an electrician, a good deal
of mineraloglst and, above all, man
of resource and GOODNESS. 1t is he who
does the exploding.
"rhe factory gets notice from a rail-
road that contract Is open for the de-
struction of ledge of rock which
blocks It's line of advance. Away goes
the agent with his gripsack full Of
ready-made destruction TO look the
thing over. First he draws upon his
mineralogic lore to determine the ma
ture of the rock. If it is very hard he
uses a high grade of his explosive,
which delivers quick, shattering blow.
In case of soft rock the lower grade
supplies blast which will produce a
wider effect, although it will not break
the dislodged rock into such small
pieces.
Next, as quarryman. he considers
the nature of the ledge and the indi-
Gated fissures or veins and plans his
drilling accordingly. Then he must at
tend to the drilling of the holes, the
tamping Of the charge. and---here his
electrical knowledge is called for, the
arrangement Of the batteries. After a
few blasts he gives the railroad COM
pany his estimate and if it is accepted
he may oversee the job himself."-

The thirty days war between the
Central American States was ended
promptly and with apparent cordiality
on both sides, thanks to the offices of
President Dlaz and President Roose-
velt. The representatives of the little
warning republics came to terms on
board the cruiser Marblehead, and
added to the Peace of Portsmouth an
other pacific victory for the United
States. One article of the draft Of
terms provides for the reference of all
future difficulties to the arbitration of
the United States and Mexico.

In the course Of year a good many
churches in the United States are
struck by lightning. During the sum
mer resort season many people are
drowned. Numerous children have
stomach ache as the result of gustatory
excesses at Sunday school picnics Yet
we hardly believe that the American
Medical Association would favor the
abolition of churches, summer resorts
and Sunday school plcnics because Of
the mishaps incident to those institu-
tions, says the Chicago Chronicle. There
is hardly anything connected with the
life Of humanity which has not some
drawback or disadvantage. Only In
heaven-and perhaps not even there
shall we find roses without thorns. The
American Medical Association, follow
ing the lead and accepting the statistics
of certain pseudo-American newspapers
which evidently design to destroy the
Fourth of July as national anniver-
sary, demands that everything possible
shall be done ''in the way of legal re-
strictions OF Fourth of July celebra-
tions." In other words, the association
wants to stop the commemoration Of
Independence day. The excuse for this
demand Is to be found In the casualties
reported by the newspapers from which
the association takes its cue. Because
certain number Of people-a number
never yet positively ascertained-hurI
themselves on the Fourth of July, there
fore the celebration of that anniversary
must be abandoned. AS we have point
ed out In the beginning, this reasoning,
If applied generally, would put an end
to religious worship, to summer out
ings and to other forms Of recreation.
1t would also stop railroad travel, be-
cause people are killed on railroad
trains; 1t would mean stagnatlon for
almost all forms Of amusement and in
dustry, since some peril Is Incident to
all of them. We doubt whether the
American Medical Association would
care to accept the logical results Of its
own reasoning, because it would put
the medical profession out of business.
Many people die under the hands of
doctors; ergo, abolish doctors, The
conclusion is as fair In this case as 1t
is in the Fourth of July matter. But
the association probably did not inves
tigate the case thoroughly before pro-
judgment 1t was deceived by
the Anglicized newspapers, and instead
of confining It's recommendations to the
treatment of tetanus resulting from
Fourth Of July wounds it undertook to
condemn the Fourth of July itself. This
demonstrates the truth of the old adage
about the shoemaker and his last. So
long as the medical associations stick
to medical matters they are upon safe
when they venture further
afleld they are likely to make them
selves ridiculous.

never will employ her army or navy

may aid in making a debtor pay up.
European nations whose subjects are
creditors Of impecunious American re-

right Of European governments to use

The HowIing Old Blizzard.
How dear to my heart is the fierce howl
ing blizzard,
Which comes from the north like wolf
on the fold,
Predicted by Foster or some other wizard.
The charger of snow and the demon Of
cold;
How sweet to be caught in its grasp like
a feather,
And find yourself wrapped round tele-
graph pole;
Oh, how we adore, in this wild wintry
weather,
This blizzard that comes when you're
clear out of coal
This wild, whirling blizzard, the razor
edged blizzard,
The loud-howling blizzard fresh from
the North Pole.

CHAPTER XIX.

Early the following morning, while
Charles was at his breakfast, and before
the arrival Of his clerk, he was surprised
by visit from the Bishop of Denham.
The bishop opened his business stand
ing, saying he had no time to sit. 1t
appeared that he was trustee for some
thing or other, a very trivial affair, but
it touched the rights of the church, as he
solemnly worded it, and an action at law
was unavoidable; if his young friend felt
sufficient confidence in himself to do
them justice, he would see that he was
appointed leading counsel; 1t might be a
lift to him in his profession.
