Explosions Are Daneerous.

Chief of Police Lowe desires to call
the attention Of children and parents
to the fact that the exploding of fire
crackers or fireworks Of any kind on
the Fourth Of July should be care
fully guarded. Just now everything
is as dry as finder. and should a IRE
start, the consequences would be
severe. A good plan would be for the
children to confine their shooting Of
fireworks to the parks on the out
skirts Of the city, and the immediate
danger will be lessened to a great
extent.

Rainfall and the Cotton Industry

+
The amount of rainfall and the develop
ment of the cotton industry in any region
are intimately connected The first proof
of this rather surprising assertion is
found IN the continual endeavor of in
ventors to devise means of giving to the
air of cotton spinning rooms proper and
sufficient degree of humidity. But a de-
ficiency of natural humidity cannot be
perfectly remeded by artificial means.
and it is fact well known to all cotton
spinners that the product of the spinners
is considerably Increased by the constant
presence of large amount of moisture in
the air The moist climate of Normandy
has made that province the chief seat
of the cotton industry in France. and
for similar reason Manchester has be-
come the center of the English cotton
manufacture. In addition to a moist at
mosphere, the cotton industry requires
abundance of water in its visible form.
Cotton mills are always located on or
near streams and are provided with ca
pacious reservoirs.
Hence the great diminution in the rain
fall of the Manchester district which has
is a valid cause for alarm. Hesketh has
collated the records of rainfall made
between 1850 and 1908. He finds that the
mean annual rainfall was thirty-six
inches between 1860 and 1886. but only
twenty-seven and one-third inches be-
tween 1885 and 1908. The observed shift
ing of one of the branches of the gulf
stream is suggested as possible cause of
this great decrease in rainfall which
threatens the industrial prosperity of
Manchester and the surrounding district

What He Found Out.
From the London Globe.

An Italian journalist, Signor Tommaso
Giloni. has just had some disagreeable
experiences. DESTROYS Of knowing some
thing OF the lunatic asylums from with
in. with the object of ameliorating the lot
OF the insane. he presented himself at the
gates OF the Cimarosa Asylum and asked
for an audience Of the King Of Italy.
The attendant showed him the door, and
then he ran afoul of the police. and in the
end found himself informed in the asylum
The doctors examined him. and. finding
him far from tractable, administered an
emetic. Then they gave him a shower
bath and next vaccinated the enterprising
journalist. After that they held con-
sultation in the presence Of the 'lunatic'
whose bona fides they evidently suspect
ed-and brutally but unanimously agreed
that the only treatment in such a case
was trepanning for a cancer on the BRAIN
BY this time Signor Tommaso Giloni
thought the best he could do was to con-
fess. This he did. and found himself at
the police station. The magistrate, how
ever. released him, observing that he
thought the doctors had administered
SUFFICIENT punishment.

1899 the walls We're kept solidly sealed
up. When entrance had to be made for
the purpose of adding another sahcoph-
agus to the rows within, great difficult
ty was entailed in forcing the strong ce-
ment.
Queen Victoria changed the old order
by substituting stout doors for the wall
ed-up entrances to the mausoleum, while
electric lights were installed in place of
the old hand lanterns. Visitors now
can lcok within the tomb from behind an
iron grill. which stretches across the
narrow front of the vault.
At the further end, past the silent
stretch of collins, they may see stone
communion table and reredos, both splen-
didly carved. Beyond these objects the
chamber is unadorned
The chapel was fitted with bier,
which mechanically was raised through
the floor and silently sank out Of sight
when the moment came. The body of
Edward VII was placed upon a stone
table in the center of the burial room.

THE FIRST RICKSHAW.
American Suggested the Glorifed
Go-Carts in Japan.

From the London News.
Twenty years or SO ago when railways
in Japan were yet few and motor cars
undreamed of the common method OF
travel for natives and foreigners alike
was the rickshaw.
Horses were scarce and Of Indifferent
quality, tine bicycle had hardly made its
appearance in the far east, SO practically
the only means of getting about the coun-
try away from the main line of the rail-
way between Toxic and Hiogo was in
the modified perambulator which Is
known all over the world as the rick
shaw.
There are q number of versions OF its In
vention and to whom credit should be
given for it. the japanese themselves
claim it for a paralytic cid gentleman of
Kyoto. who some time before 1S0S, find
ing his palanquin uncomfortable. took TO
a. little cart instead. The usual foreign
account adopted by Mr.. Black. the author
of Young Japan" is that an American
named Goble, half cobbler and hais mis-
sionary. was the person to suggest the
idea of a glorified go-cart somewhere
