gives OF enough heat to drive an
ocean liner, and two acres of the SUMS
surface would furnish power enough
to drive all the machinery in the world
now driven by steam. Its heat con-
centrated on a column OF ice two and
a fourth miles square and reaching
from the earth to the sun would suffice
TO melt the whole column in a single
second. In seven seconds more the wa
ter from the melted column would be
vaporized. What becomes of all this
heat and light, ask the astronomers.
With only one billionth part of 1t used
by all the planets, do the other 999, 999.-
999 parts go on and on into empty
space forever, at the rate of 1860
miles a second? Is the sun So prodi-
gal with it's heat that 1t uses only the
blllionth part to a good purpose?
And when will this terrific expendit-
ure of energy cease? Scientists know
that IL it were a solid lump of the
best anthracite coal burning under a
forced draft. II would not give OF as
much heat as at present, and that the
last vestige Of that lump would be
burned away In 5000 years.
The accepted theory of the source of
the suns heat Is that OF contraction.
1t has been shown that a contractio on
of twenty five feet a year In the suns
volume would account for all the heat
1t radiates. At that rate 1t would take
IL, 200 years for the difference to be-
come appreciabIe to the astronomer,

Lots of Room Needed.

It is curious fact that the invaria- ble first thought of a British jack tar when landing from a cruise is to get on a horse. For purposes of economy one animal frequently serves for two or three grinning sailor boys.
 Recently a sailor from the fleet of British war-ships that accompanied the Prince of Wales to Quebec ap- preached the keeper of a downtown livery stable and asked for horse.
 "For riding or driving? asked the liveryman.
 "We'n be goin' aboard of 'im,' re- sponded the sailor.
 "What kind of a horse do you want, " continued the liveryman, 'black, white, chestnut, sorrel-lively, or gentleT

James Knox Polk was rehecting upon the circumstance that half the people of the country, roughly estimated, pronounc- ed his name as it was spelled, while the other half called him Poke.

Wild Tribesmen.

William Jones, the noted anthopoloG
ist, who was in the fieli for the
Field Museum OF Natural HI tory uf
Chicago. The murder occurred at
the headwaters of the Cagayan riv-
er in Isbela province.
No details of the attack have
been obtainable thus far, but 1t is
supposed that the scientist was set
upon and killed by wild tribesmen
DR.. Jones has been in the Philip
pines two years investigating the
wild tribes on the island and pre-
pairing an exhaustive report of them
for the museum.
For several months he has been
studying the Ilongots. living among
them in the hills.

CHARLESTON BLIND TIGERS
To BE Enjoincd by the State Su-

Charleston, April 2.-The Post
states that, according to common re-
port Charleston is to be literally
blanketed with injunctions, and by
this process of law. under the nui-
sance provision of the dispensary
act, the violators are all to be reach
ed in course OF time. The State
authorities have found this a better
and more practical way of reaching
the violators than by the process
of jury trials, especially in commu-
mites where the jurors will not rem
der a verdict in accordance with the
evidence, on account of their preju-
dice. There is likelihood that Pat
Carroll will have company in the
county Jail before long, because 1T
is said that the restraining orders
of the supreme court are being vio-
lated by the dealers, and IL is the
intention of the attorney generals
Office to have the orders enforced

DYNAMITE EXPL0DES
UNDER NEW VIADUCT IN NEW
YORK CITY.
Great Damage Was Done, and Looks
as if the Outrage is the Outgrowth
of Minor Labor Trouble.

New York. March 31.-A heavy
charge Of dynamite, said to have
been placed by dissatisfied laborers
recently employed on the construc-
tfon OF the new steel viaduct over
the Hoboken Meadows was exploded
with a tremendous crash at 3:15
this morning, wrecking one of the
supporting pillars of the structure
and shattering every window in the
neighborhood for a radius of a quar-
ter of mile.
A number of persons are known
to have been cut by flying glass and
falling plaster, but no word has been
received of fatilities as yet.
The rumble of the explosion was
heard throughout Manhattan and
far into the Long Island suburbs and
FOR hours the various police stations
were busy answering inquiries as
to the nature of the explosion and
1t whereabouts.
AS soon as the source OF the de-
tonation had been traced the re-
serves from the Hoboken police sta
ton were sent TO the scene as were
number of ambulances from va
rious hospitals.
The neighborhood of Willow ave-
nue., where the explosion took place.
was thrown into panic and scanti-
ly dressed men and women rushed
into the streets in terror.
An 'estigation showed that the
charge of dynamite had been placed
at the base of one of the steel up
right supports and that the force
of the explosion had completely torn
1T from its concrete foundation.
1t is said that recently there had
been minor troubles among the
workmen employed in the construc-
ton of the viaduct, and that the
outrage may have been perpetrated
by some mal-contents in revenge for
fancied wrong.
The viaduct which had been two
years building, is a structure nearly
half a mile long, connecting Ho-
boken with West Hoboken over q
wide Idea of sunken meadows.
No estimate has as yet been plac-
ed on the damage caused by the ex-
plosion but 1t is believed that 1t will
amount to several thousand dollars.

CHILDREN AND ALCOHOL.
Scientist Says Drink Habit Is Too
Easily FOrned.

New York. March 31.-Comment-
ing upon an article by DIR. Weber,
in the Deutsche Medizinische Woch-
enscrift. The Medical Record today
quotes the German scientist as CON
demning the practice pf allowing
young people still in the formative
to partake, no matter how casually,
of intoXicants.
Enough of the physiology of al
cohol Is known nowadays" says DR..
Weber, "to state positively that the
use of alcohol can have only delet-
erous effects upon an organ.
'It is. therefore, the duty of the
physicians to warn parents of the
danger of giving alcoholic drinks
to children on such occasions as par
ties, birthdays, etc, as the habit may
be very easily engendered."

OIL BOAT BLOWN UP
And Twelve Members of Crew Loose
Their Lives.

Marseilles, April 1.-The French
tank barge Jules Henry, in the oil
trade between Philadelphia and
Cette. blew up this morning and
was practically totally wrecked
Twelve members of her crew were
killed and many others wounded.
A representative of the Veritas
agency, accompanied by the second
officer, was inspecting the vessel In
the course of their work they enter
ed the tank hole. Immediately after
ward there was tremendous ex-
plosion. The entire deck of the
barge was lifted and the forward
portion of the ship wrenched off
twenty men of the crew, at work
painting and repairing, were blown
into the air.
Great sheets of fire shot up from
the vessel and in few seconds she
was enveloped in flames. Six badly
burned bodies have been recovered
from the floating wreckage and a
number of the wounded men were
brought ashore. The other missing
ones undoubtedly perished. The
agency inspector and second officer
were blown high into the air. They
are still alive, but not expected to
live. 1t is presumed that oil fumes

after MANY YEARS
A ROMANCE OF THE CIVIL WAR
ENDS IN
The Marriage of Man and Wo-
man After Half q Century Had
Passed Away.

Chicago, April 1.-Letters writ
ten by tender hearted invalid girl
during the civil war to cheer the
heart of wounded soldier she had
never seen. form the foundation of
a romance which has found its cul-
m1nation after many years.
The climax comes in a wedding at
Oak Park, the contracting parties
being Mrs. Anseline Gum. widow,
writer OF the letters, and Captain
Seldom Nj. French. OF Denver, who
received them. The captain Is 81
years of age, his bride 65.
When youth of nineteen CAPTAIN
French Joined the 12th Iowa regi-
ment, and went away to war. Mrs.
Gum, then girl OF II, was an in
valid, confined to her home in a
small Iowa town.
The girls in the town decided to
do something to help the war. and
it was finally arranged that each
should select the name Of a wound
ed soldier, write to him and en-
"A lot was drawn. and the invalid
girl drew the name of Captain
French who was at the time suf
fering from a wound in a Southern
hospital.
At the close OF the war the two
lost trace of each other, and both
married. Captain French and his
wife moved to Denver and the girl
whom he had grown to think of as
sister became Mrs. Gum, and a
resident of Austin. A few years
ago the captains wife died.
Three weeks ago Captain French
came here for a visit. Prevailed
upon to recount some OF his expert
ences in the war, the veteran told
of the unique correspondence he
had with the girl he had never
seen. He was astonished to learn
that the writer of the letters was
a widow and lived only few blocks
away.
CAPTAIN French decided upon an
Immediate call at the home of his
wartime SISTER" The friendship
which long had lain dormant ripen
ed into love and wedding was ar
ranged.
The couple Immediately after the
ceremony departed for Pittsburg
Landing, Tennessee, to attend the
annual reunion Of the National AS
sociation Of Survivors of the Bat
tie of Shiloh.
