OXYGEN USED TO CUT STEEL.
Little or No Finishing Required After
the Operation.

A stream OF oxygen is the knife that
cuts metals. The operation Is per-
formed by means of blowpipe with
two nozzles, of which the first delivers
an fgnited jet of mixed oxygen and
hydrogen, and the second is a stream
or pure oxygen. The pressure Is reg
ulated by gauge attached to the oxy-
gen tank. The oxygen hydrogen flame
and the stream of oxygen strike the
same part OF the metal which, after
being heated by the fame, is rapidly
cut, or rather burned through by the
oxygen, the temperature being raised
TO 1900 or 1,400 degrees Fahrenheit
by the combustion Of the metal. The
cut Is as smooth as q sheared cut and
requires little or no finishing. Armor
plates can be cut in one twentieth the
time required for mechanical cutting;
and the sharply localized heating prob.
ABLY causes less strain than punching
anu shearing develop. If oxygen costs
two cents and hydrogen twothirds Of
cent per cubic foot, the cost Of cut
ung an iron plate four-fifths Of an inch
th-ck Is about seven cents per running
loot, or about half the cost Of mechan.
lcal cutting. Special machines are
constructed for cutting various OBJ
1ects. Finally there Is a universal ma
chine, which can be arranged to make
curved and polygonal cuts of any pat
tern in addition to the simpler cuts
erected " the other machines. A
special form of this universal machine
Is exceedingly useful in taking apart
machinery and steel buildings. 1t Cd.

TERRIBLE BOILER EXPLOSION
Kills Eight Men, Their Bodies Being
Frightfully Mutilated.

Eight Workingmen were instantly
killed, nearly a score of others more
lor less seriously injured, and thou
sands of dollars worth of property
damaged by the explosion of boiler
in the York, Pa, rolling mill. The dead
are: John Cheney, York; Benjamin
Bremen, Harry Seachrist, Paoli Puci.
Alfred Struck, John Salesman, and
Edward Fittler, Marietta, Pa. A res
cue party was quickly organized and
search for bodies was instituted. Am
balances from the York hospital were
hurried to the scene of the explosion,
but owing to the number of dead and
injured delivery wagons and other
cOnveyances were pressed into service
in order that the injured might be
rushed to the hospital.
While the injured were being
looked after tho bodies of the dead
were being carried from the ruins Of
the building. Most of those killed had
their heads and limbs torn from their
bodies, and were so badly mangled
that Identification was almost an i'm
possibility. The mill had been closed
down for about week and two score
of men were engaged in making re-
pairs to an engine. The men were
working close to the boiler and when
the explosion occurred its effect was
awful. The shock was so terrific that
1T demolished large portion of the
mill and sent heavy pieces of twisted
Iron and metal in all directions
The plant of the Broomal, Schmidt
& Steacy company, located near the
scene of the explosion, was badly dam
aged, and horse which was stand
ing three hundred yards distant from
the mill was Instantly killed Box
cars on the railroad siding adjoining
the mill were torn to splinters.

EDISON ENTERTAINs FARMAN
Shows the Paris Aviator a Little
Scheme of His Own in
AerOplaneS.

The famous inventor Thomas A.
Edison had Henry Farlnaa, the avia-
tor, as a guest at his laboratory in
Orange, n. J., to show him a flying ma
chine whicL he has invented. Edison
explained fully the principles on which
his invention is based. These are said
to be those of the gyroscope, or uplift-
ing fan, and the foreign aeroplanist
was greatly impressed. He declared
thae they embodied far better ideas
than the ma shine which lie had
brought FROM France for his exhibit
tons in this country.
Farman's manager, MacMechen, Of
st. Louis, is busy looking for new
financial backing for Farman's tour
Of the country, as originally planned.
Farman said he would be glad to give
further exhibitions over here, but I'M
less the funds were forthcoming short
~ he would return to France.

MYSTERIOUS Green.

To those who believe in the influence
of color the shades of green afford an
interesting study, not only because of
the large number of green things
found in nature. but the scale of greens
is so varied.
Green is, or was, the chosen color OF
Venus or the Scandinavian goddess
Freya and should be worn upon Fri
day, her name day.
The color has always been consider
ed mysterious in its influence All
green creatures, such as snakes or
birds, are weird, and people with what
are known as green hazel eyes need
to be carefully considered, and among
clairvoyants green stands for intellec-
tua1 power, just as they speak of the

started at a. M. on the sixth floor
of the Phipps power building at
Duquesne way and Cecil alley threat

and without waiting for ladders to be
erected firemen were rushed on eX-
prees cars to the burning offices, but
for which the flames would soon have
been beyond control.
Half-clad guests of hotels who fed

Attacked While in Cut.
The train was a spec.a al bearing nom
union men to the Blocton mines under
guard of soldiers and deputies. On the
outskirts of the town the engineer sud
denly saw a log across the track. and
at once a fusillade was fired into the
train The engineer did not stop. but
let the pilot throw the log from the
track and put on full speed The place
where the attack was made was in a
cut, the ground being on a level of the.
lower part of the windows. The, assail-
ants from the rocks above poured down
a murderous fire directly into the win
dows, and at the engineer. Practically
every window in the train was broken.
and shots struck all parts of the en-
CINE and cab.
Dogs Put on the Trail.
The train proceeded to Blocton and
the dead and injured were returned to
Birmingham. Dogs were hurried to
the scene and took trails through the
woods directly to the union head
quarters. Eight negroes were arrested
in the afternoon and other arrests are
expected. Governor Conner held hur-
ried conference with Lieutenant Colo
mel Hubbard commanding the militia,
and another company was hurried to
Blocton.
More Strenuous Action Demanded,
The trouble has caused widespread
indignation and a general demand is
being made that more strenuous action
be taken looking to the preservation of
order. Governor Conner has not made
a statement on the situation so far.
While no disturbances have been re-
ported in the district other than
the Blocton affair the situation is re-
garded as the most grave since the
Inauguration of the strike over month
ago.

The disaster was caused by misun-
!derstanding of orders by the crew OF
the southbound limited car of the
Western Ohio Traction road, which
while running late at high rate of
speed, crashed into the northbound
limited car. Both the cars We're due
here at 6:1S p. M, but as the soutn-
bound car was late, orders were given
TO pass at a siding about two miles
north of here. The impact of the two
cars was so terrible that but one of
those on the cars escaped injury.
Many automobiles from Piqua and
Sidney were rushed to the scene and
conveyed those injured to an impro-
Ivised hospital at the Shelby county in
urinary and to their homes in Sidney
and this city.
Worst Wreck on the Line.
The wreck is the worst that has oc-
curred in this section of the state in
many years. While rounding slight
curve each motorman caught sight of
the approaching car. Bailey, who was
a new motorman, tried to jump from
his car and was killed. The two cars
came together with such force that the
impact completely telescoped the
southbound car. in which the most of
those killed and injured were passen-
gers.
