something the old Cleveland fans can
net forget, if for no other reason than
the loss of Cy Young. He remained
with St. Louis two years and then

Young remained loyal to St Louis

then he decided to protect himself By
accepting a very catering offer thai
Boston had made him.

THE DYNAMITER.
He Must Be Man OF Many Parts
With Nerve and Goodness.

In an article on Dynamite; the Pow
er kntamable.' Samuel Hopkins Ad-
aDiS thus describes the man who han
dies the explosive and his ways:
The 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 embodi-
ment the explosive agent is something
of chemist, something of a quarry
man, something of an electrician, a
good deal of mineralOgist and above
all man of resource and coolneSs 1t
is he who does the exploding. The fac
tory gets notice from a railroad that q
contract is open for the destruction OF
a ledge Of rock which blocks their line
OF advance. Away goes the agent, with
his gripsack full of ready made de-
Struction, to look the thing over First
he draws upon his mineralogic lore to
determine the nature of the rock. If it
Is very hard he uses a high grade of
his explosive, which delivers a quick,
SCATTERING blow. In case of soft rock
the lower grade supplies a blast which
will produce wider effect although x
will not break the dlslodged rock into
such small pieces. Next as quarry
man he considers the nature of the
ledge and the indicated assures or
veins and plans his drilling according
~. Then he must attend TO the drilling
of the holes, the tamping of the charge
and-here his electrical knowledge is
called for-the arrangement of the bat
teries. After few blasts he gives the
railroad company his estimate. and if
1t is accepted he may oversee the job
himself.
''Often he meets his rivals on the
ground. Then comes the tug of war
Tricks of the trade are many and not
all of them scrupulous. Where many
agents are gathered together it seems
TO be point of honor with every man
to handle his particular article with
the utmost apparent carelessness,
while he manifests a shrinking timid-
ity toward the products of his com
petitors. This is to impress the out
slider. So the agent will toss about
twenty-five pound package of dyna-
mite like SO much meal. kick it. drop
1t over fences or down lodges and gem
orally maIIreat it. If the dynamite is
fresh this is all right, but occasionally
something goes wrong, and theory, to-
gether with the theorist. is blown to
atoms in practice. Theoretically q
high explosive should detonate only
when set off by means of a illuminate
of mercury cap. and some of the safe
ty explosives apparently live up to
this. But anything with nitroglycerin
in it is best trea ted with considera-
ton, for nitro is Il very uncertain
quantity"

THE DRAGON FLY.
Sinauiariy Adapted to Its Life Of
Aerial Piracy.

No one could fail to be struck with
the singularly perfect adaptation of the
dragon fly's structure to life of aerial
piracy. The four wings are large and
in proportion to their weight enormous
ly strong. Each is supported by Won
derfully arranged network Of slender
ribs, which give the necessary rigidity
TO the thin, transparent membrane
forming its basis. The muscles by
which the wings are moved are mass
i've and powerful and are so arranged
among themselves that the animal is
capable of steering its course with an
unerring accuracy which any bird
might envy. In this power it is largely
aided by marvellous keenness OF
sight, for in addition to the two great.
gorgeously colored compound eyes
which make up SO much of the head
tho insect possesses three smaller sim
pie" eyes. making five eyes in all. The
prey when overtaken is seized and de-
voured by means of powerful, sharply
toOthed jaws.
An animal which lives such an ac-
tive life naturally requires a very per-
feet breathing apparatus. and this is
amply provided by system Of holes
on the sides of the body which open
into an elaborate network of air tubes
supplying every part of the system.
The air in these tubes is constantly
renewed by the regular compression
and dilatation of the body by special
muscles.-Chambe Journal.
