SKELETON IS FOUND
Friend Ran Across the Bones
Of indianapolis Man on
California Desert.
IDENTIFIED BY WATCH,

indianapolis, Ind, April 1O.-The
skeleton of Worth Merritt, formerly
well-known indianapolis business man
has bee n found in the sands of the i'm
perial desert in Southern California
near the Mexican border by Robert
Mccain, one of his friends.
Merritt disappeared from his ranch
near San Diego nearly two years ago,
and members of his family were I'M
able to get any trace of him. 1t was
feared that he had been murdered and
robbed, as he had considerable sum
OF money when he left home on a
prospecting tour.
Mccain happened to run across the
skeleton, and he identified it as that
of Merritt by remnants of his clothing
and his watch. Merritt was the son of
George Merritt, who was in the wool
en-mill business here for many years.

EXPLOSIVES.
How They Are "Set of" and How
They May Be Handled.


There are two ways in which an ex-
plosive may be set ofr-by burning and
by detonation. The burning process is
progressive from one particle to an
other, as of fire in a CRATE, only infinite
iy more rapid. This process Is adapted
to gunpowder, requiring, as 1t does, a
very short time for the burning up of
the explosive body. The other form Of
explosion, the decorative, being at
once throughout the mass, Is untitled
for use in guns which would be smash
ed to pieces, but is adapted to shat
tering or breaking purposes, such as
blasting rocks In mining operations and
bursting charges in shells. torpedoes
and submarine mines. Substances of
the latter sort are termed high explo-
sives. Some examples may be given
gerous explosives may ordinarily be
handled. For instance, considerable
quantity of gun cotton. such as pure
cotton treated with nitric acid, may be
set afire and will burn quietly, but If a
sufficient mass be set afire the heat and
pressure on the surface Of the burning
body will cause the whole to be ex-
ploded. A torpedo filed with wet COM
pressed gun cotton will not explode If a
shell from cannon should penetrate II
and burst in the mass Of gun cotton
Even nitroglycerin will burn like oil In
small quantities, and a stick Of nitro.
glycerin may be set on fire without dan.
ger of harm.-St. Nicholas.

It's Refusal to Work and What Miaht
Have Happened.
You may be interested to hear of a
thing which happened to me in Brit
tany last summer. l had to sign some
railway transfers before the nearest
British consul who was at Brest. I
locked up the papers and railway
stock in a Breton cupboard as high as
the ceiling and very solid. l kept the
key in my pocket.
When my cousin and l were ready
to start, took out the key, and 1t
would not open its own cupboard The
servants came in turn and tried in
vain. We had to miss our train to
Quimper. which was our first stage to
Brest. Now, our village locksmith was
very rough and ready. so the next
morning l said l would try the key
myself once more before he perhaps
ruined my lock.
The key fitted perfectly, the cup
board opened easily, we got the pa.
pers, and we went. But, imagine. we
found at the station placards posted
up telling of the awful wreck of the
Brest train the day before. and 1t was

been but for the ohstinacy of the key
We saw the carriages all fallen into

these buttons reached Washington.
Mitchell is here to attend the con-
ference of governors and others at the
White House. beginning on Wednes-

ment in his behalf in Illinois, and,
therefore, will not discuss it. 1t is
declared by his friends that he would
not, under any circumstances, accept
the proposed nomination.
Roger Sullivan, the Democratic
leader of Illinois, is quoted as saying
that he will make Mitchell the Demo

FOUND WOMAN BODY
Philadelphia Police Have a
Mystery to Solve.
IT LOOKS LIKE SUICIDE
Bottle of Poison Was Found Near
Body, But Footprints of Man Cause
Police to Suspect Woman May
Have Been Carried There.

Philadelphia, May ia mystery
that savors OF more than the ordinary
surrounds the finding of the body OF
a well-dressed woman on clay bank
IN the extreme southwestern section
Of the city The body was that OF
a rather striking woman of the blonde
type. apparently about thirty-five
years of age. -.
Two men coming across the brick
yards from the Point Breeze Oil
works, on. the Schuylkill river came
across the body, which lay with one
.oot in a clay pond. Beside the body
lay a bottle that had contained car
collie acid, and it was taken for grant
ID that the woman had committed
suicide but when the police began an
investigation they could find no foot
prints made by woman that would
show how the unknown made her way
over the muddy ground to the pond.
They did find prints OF mans feet
and the suspicion that the woman
nay have been carried to the place
was strengthened by the fact that the
body lay carefully covered by the coat
belonging TO the wOman'S suit or
black cloth. A gray straw turban was
pinned in place on the mass of light
nair. which was not greatly dishev-
eled.
The point where the body was found
is far out of the way of any ordinary
traffic but people living not far from
the scene report having heard, a cab
or carriage drive by, apparently going
in the direction OF the open brick
yards, where the body was found.
