Special TO Tho Washington Herald.
Lynchburg. Va, Aug. l3-After raging
for nearly sixty hours. the fire in the
Southern Railways new and uncompleted
tunnel tonight seems to be slightly di-
minished, this condition probably being
due TO the fact that the northern end
OF the tunnel is almost closed up. Not
half as much smoke was issuing from

day.

been drilled through to the top. and steps

The repast commenced with green
tea served in small glasses. The Gus
tom of preparing this Is peculiar to the
country. To the principal native guest
is given the honor of making the tea.
In this case it was Raisuli, who, being
under British protection, had been in

a little mint was added. A small guam
tity of the connection was poured into
a glass, slipped and poured back again
into the pot. This process was con-

favor was reached.

PRISON Irvine PLANT MAY
Observation-Disclosures

Topeka, Kansas, Aug. 19.-The
prison twine plant is in danger OF
being abolished. The farmers Of
Kansas do not patronize it as the
officials think they should. More
than fifty per cent Of this years pro-
duct is still on hand and the harvest
is over. 1t will have to be carried
over until next year.
The prison directors will probably
try new method of marketing
Irvine first. If it doesn't succeed,
then the plant will be closed down
for good.
1.-The prison Irvine plant was estab-
lished to protect the Kansas farmers
from exorbitant prices from the
harvester trust said Ed. Mulaney,
of Mill City, director of the peni-
Tertiary, today. THAT the plant
has kept down the price Of twine
there is no doubt. The farmers
were very glad of it and hailed the
prison plant with glee. But they
continue to buy Irvine of the trust;
they don't patronize the prison
plant"
The records show that the harvest

MAKING; FIREWORKS: L / |. S,
Some Pyrotechnic Products Must
!. Dry In the Open Air.
TRYING FOR NEW DESIGNS.

Stats Of Artists Continually Devising
Color Schemes to Be Worked Out In
Fire-Ths Construction of the Set
Pieces-Work Of the Chemists.
The first step in manufacturing fire.
works is the making Of the cases, or
shells, as the cylinders or other recep-
tacles in which the explosives and the
chemicals are placed are called Prac-
tically all Of these are made of innu-
merable sheets Of tissue paper pasted
and rolled together until the thickness
required Is attained. Most Of these
cases are made by machinery and are
delivered as wanted to the places
where they are to be filed or charged
with the materials that have been pre-
pared. All the charging Is done by
machinery except in the big shells that
throw forth sets Of stars of varying
colors. In these each "star" has to be
placed In certain position so as to
explode in just the right way at the
proper instant.
Out of doors In pleasant weather the
long lines of fuse-"quick match" they
are called-are made. These are wound
on reels six or seven feet across. Their
basis is loose cotton cord covered with
various highly infiammable chemicals.
"Quick match" roman candles and a
number of other pyrotechnic products
cannot be dried by artificial heat. They
must lie in the open air until the mois-
ture used in mixing the chemicals
evaporates.
All the year around the artists on
the staff Of the pyrotechnic manufac-
turers are taxing their brains design
ing color schemes to be worked out in
fire. Outside Of the big set pieces
which are much in vogue, great deal
OF attention is given to rockets
bombs and rocket bombs. OF which
there are innumerable kinds. When
the artist has evolved some striking
color effect he turns over his painting
to the chemists, whose task it is to
combine various combustible ingredi-
ents so as to reproduce what the
painter has put on his canvas. The
race between the art department and
the staff chemists is unending. 1t is
the boast Of the chemists that they
can duplicate In their burning colors
any combination Of paints that can be
presented to them.
These colors are impaired by the
heated vapors Of certain metals. So
dium, for instance, gives yellow
light. calcium red. strontium crimson
