Parliament Buildings at ottawa, Foul

Which Caused Explosion.

{ Ottawa, Ontario.-An explosion
(which wrecked the plant of the Gen
{ eral Explosives company of Canada
near Hull, Quebec, killed 10 person.
and injured 80 others.
The force of the explosion was ter
rife. The country for miles arount
was laid waste and many small build
ings in the city of Hull, on the sid,
nearest the scene Of the explosion
were flattened to the ground
A baseball game was in progress
short distance from the powdei
works. The teams were playing the
last inning, and when a fire was seeI
in the small buildings of the powder
plant, the crowd began to swarm III
the hill to get a better view of the
blaze.
Warning of the danger came to the
onlookers in two miner explosions
soon after the fire got well under
way.
A shower of sparks and fragments
of the wrecked building fell among
the spectators and there was a sour
rying out of what was considered the
danger zone.
Crowd Uurged to Move Pack.
Three of the baseball FAM aware
of the possibility of danger when the
main magazine was reached, pleaded
with the crowd to go still further
back, and many of them needed the
warning. The others, apparently en-
ioying the element of danger in the
spectacle, stood within 1000 yards
of the burning buildings. They were
kept on the qui vive by the detona
tions which sent showers of burning
brands in all directions. The base.
ball game broke up and the remain.
der of the spectators and the players
rushed up to join the baseball crowd
at the fire.
1t was then the main magazine ex.
ploded.
There were two stunning detona
tions. Everything within radius OF
mile and a half was torn and shat.
teFer.
Giant trees were snapped off close
to the EARTH barns and dwelling
houses were converted into kindling
wood, and even in ottawa, four miles
from the scene, hundreds of plate.
glass windows were broken.
The scene where the crowd from
the ball ground stood resembled a
battlefield. Headless, armless and
legless bodies were lying about
among scores Of unconscious forms
10 the few who retained a flicker of
consciousness, it appeared as though
more than 100 had been killed
The silence which followed the
final death.dealing blast was more
terrifying than the cries and means
which came with a return to con.
seriousness of the badly injured.
The terrific shock brought thou
sands of terror-stricken persons to
the scene. Some thought it was an
earthquake, while others cried out
that the comet had struck the earth
Hundreds of chimneys were toppled
over and there is scarcely whole
light of glass left in the northeastern
section of the city.
The first call for aid from hospital
and police came from the section of
the city nearest the magazines. There
1t was found that 40 small residences
had been shattered and many in,
jured persons were imprisoned in the
wreckage,

Buying Insight

There are a number of fruit ranch
promotion schemes in several sections
of the West which the cautious investor
would do we'll to investigate thoroly be-
fore wasting his money on them. We
refer to tracts which are being devel-
oped by men non too scrupulous and
advertised as ready to bear at the
end of five years, when inspection Of
the tracts reveals the sorry fact that not
only were poor and cheap trees set out
to begin with, but they have not been
properly pruned or cultivated during
the five-year period.
Before investing in any such fruit
ranches the prospective buyer should
not only inspect first hand the condi-
ton of the tract which is later to be his
at from $500 to $500 per acre, but
should inquire with even greater pains
into the financial standing and reputa-
ton for integrity which the men back
ing the scheme have with bankers and
other conservative and reliable people
in the community. If a fellow has his
senses with him he would not become
engaged to a woman a thousand miles
away without seeing her, or buy a horse
insight on a stranger recommendation.
He should use as much judgment in
buying a fruit ranch.

Pushing Foreign Trade

For many years the state department
has been endeavoring to make the CO.
operatihn of our consuls in foreign
countries more valuable as an aid for
the extension Of the foreign commerce
o. the United States. There is no
question but that there is a very large
and profitable field for American ex-
ports, manufactures as we'll as agricul-
tural, but the great prosperity and con-
sequent home demand has tended to
keep American manufacturers too busy
selling goods within the borders of the
United States to make them very
anxious for trade abroad. They have
not entirely overlooked the foreign part
however, and there are indications that
they are preparing for a great extern
sion of their export trade. This is
shown to some extent by the demand
for the Daily Consular and Trade Re-
ports, issued by the government thru
the bureau of Manufactures. This lit
tie publication contains a great deal Of
interesting as we'll as valuable informa-
ton for American business men. An
item published in a recent number will
give point to this assertion. 1t is from
Consul P. Merrill Griffith, of Pernam-
buco, and in order to show the interest
that American business men feel in
foreign trade opportunities, the para
graph is quoted, as follows;
The brief notice published under
Trade Opportunities in Daily Consular
and Trade Reports of August 20, 1910,
requesting that catalogues pertaining
to certain goods of American manu-
facture be forwarded in order to com
plete the files of this office, was effective.
The first mail from New York,
arriving September 10, brought 1870
pieces Of mail, including letters and
catalogues, and this number, if this is
a fair indication, will treble and per-
haps quadruple. The immediate re-
spouse to this brief, but particular
notice, together with the constantly
increasing commercial correspondence
at this and many other consulates,
demonstrates conclusively the present
active interest of American manufac-
turers in foreign markets and trade
extension"

Livingston A JOb-G etter

Representative Livingston, the vet
eran lawmaker from Georgia whose
long service made him a possibility for
the Craftsmanship of the important Com
mittee on Appropriations, before his
defeat for reelection, is one of the best
hustlers for patronage in the lower
House. How he does it no one seems
to understand, but he has a record for
finding jobs which many a republican
has had cause to envy. During the
closing weeks of the last session a
young woman came to him and said
that she had just been left a widow
with two small children and no means
of support. Wouldn't the congressman
please find her a place in the govern
ment service7 She was a total stranger
to Mr.. Livingston and didn't even live
in his state, but he is blessed with a
kind heart, so he told her to come back
the next day, and then he got busy.
When she returned he had found her a
place. How he does it," remarked a
colleague on the other side Of the
House, in telling about it, is some
thing I would like to find out; and he is
a democrat at that"

The Electric Fan.

Back in the early eighties DR.. S. S.
Wheeler, an electrical engineer Of New
York. was experimenting with a small
electric motor. In the course of his ex-
periments the doctor conceived the
idea that steamboats, might be run
with electricity if the %propellers could
be directly connected TO high speed
electric motors, doing away with all
the gears then in use In steam propul-
sion. With this idea In mind he had a
small crew propeller constructed and
fastened it to the armature shaft of
his small motor. To his surprise the
experiment resulted in a fine breeze of
cooling air which more than delighted
the experimenter, for the day was de-
cidedly hot. 1t is needless to add that
the experiments with screw propellers
ended right there, and the engineer
took up the study of the electric fan.
with the result that he Dol perfected
the device until it was a commercial
success.
