EXPLOSIVES.
Dangerous Substances That Are In

constant use are some that are more or
less dangerous from their explosive
properties, properties often entirely
unknown TO their users.

contact with an unllghted PHOSPHORUS

potash IL mixed with subnitrate OF bis
muth, the latter a remedy for indiges-
ton, will explode.
Iodde OF nitrogen Is highly explo-
sive and is often combined with other

Sal volatile and chloral hydrate are,
under certain conditions, as dangerous

cork pop out Of bottle while held In

also camphor, both highly inflammable.
No woman wearing celluloid combs or

ing umpire troubles. The continual re-
ports of unfair decisions of umpires
emanating from almost every city on
the circuit has caused him to keep
watch on those officials and look close
ly after their work. In speaking of
umpire difficulties, the president said:
"A player may go out and make err
rnr after error in a game, and the aver
age fan will overlook the fact, but when
an umpire happens to make one mis-
take out of hundred opportunities, he
is Kissed and abused miserably. My
sympathies are considerably on the side
of the umpire. No one ever roots for
him."
President Carson, despite the knocks
that have been handed to Umpire
Clark, has fun confidence in him. Car
son stated he believes that there is no
better umpire on strikes and balls in
the league.
