Witnesses Before Coroner In London
Tell Of Seeing Human Torches of
Flame Rush Into the Street-De-
scription Of Terrible Scene.

London.-The coroner's inquiry into
the circumstances attending the death
| Of two women from terrible burns
| received in a hairdresser's shop in
| Great Windmill street, Piccadilly cir.
| Gus, has been held. Miss HObkirk.
saleswoman, aged twenty-five, visited
| the shop to have a shampoo, and was
attended by Nine. Leon Raffuer, the
proprietor's wife, and her daughter,
aged eighteen. Rectifed spirit petrol,
1t has been stated previously, was
used for the purpose OF quick drying.
An explosion occurred and the cloth.
| ing of the three women became ighit.
ed Terrified. they ran into the street,
| where the flames were put out by
| passersby, but then very serious in
juries had been inflicted. Miss Hob
kirk and Mile. Raffuer died in the
hospital, and Nine. Raffuer, whose
arm 1t has been found necessary TO
amputate, lies in a critical condition.
It was explained that in 1897 a wom-
an met her death under similar cir
cumstances and afterward the Lon
don County Council successfully prose
cuted a number Of hairdressers In the
West End for using petrol.
A graphic description Of the scene
following the explosion, was given by
Joseph Spalding, tailor's cutter, who

lie heard an explosion and saw Mile.
Raffuer coming from the front Of the
stairs in the passage. She was alight
from her feet to her shoulders. and
her hair was in flames. l passed my
left hand over her head TO extinguish
the flames and my right hand down
her back and pressed her gently to-
ward the door, where I was told that
she fell. | then rushed back and saw
a pillar of fire at the back OF the
stairs; that was Miss Hobkirk. She
was in a halfstooplng attitude.

tor of her chest. AS l went forward

Of NJ. Raffuer's who gave evidence
said an antiseptic was used for the
dr. shampoo of the women customers.
The Coroner WAS petrol used?"
u only know that what they used
was called antiseptic. Nine. Raffuer
used to give it to us in little tin"
'liow was this used??"-"A towel was
placed round the woman's shoulders,
cotton was placed in the ears, the hair
vas allowed to fall down and a little
OF the liquid permitted to fall on the
head. We then rubbed 1t into the
hair and dried the hair with towel"
How long does 1t take TO dry the

CRO.C|NEMATOGRAPH FEAT
Life of Active Microbes Recorded on
Films by Ultra-Microscope-
Value TO Science is Immense.

Paris.-Jean Commander, young
scientist, has succeeded in making
cinematograph records Of active mic
robes. This feat is deemed OF the
highest Importance as 1t enables their
movements and development to be
carefully watched by regulating the
speed of the cinematograph. He thus
explains his success:
1T is due to the use of the ultra
microscope. in which the lighting Of
the preparation to be examined is
done laterally. Infinitely small Or
ganisms, seen as dust, are visible
playing in a ray of sunlight because
they are laterally lighted. This meth
Cd has enabled savants to discover
great number of new microbes which
are invisible in an ordinary micros-
cope. however powerful.
The cinematograph apparatus Is
attached to the eye piece Of the ultra
microscope. and an uncolored drop OF
an infected animals blood is placed
between two strips Of glass. Focuss-
ing is extremely difficult. but when 1t
is accomplished thirty-two photo
graphs are taken in a second.
The magnifcation obtained after
projection is from ten to twenty thou
sand diameters. The ultra-microscope
renders visible objects the size OF
which is one-two-thousandth part OF a
millimeter."
Those present at VI. COmmandon's
demonstration at the Academy OF Sci
ence saw tripanosomes, which are the
microbes causing sleeping sickness,
as large as eels. rapidity rushing
among the red corpuscles of the blood,
and could see fatty globules, OF the di-
mension of a micron-that Is, one
one-thousandth of a which
form the nutritive part OF the blood.
Iondon.-Martin Duncan, who first
combined the use of the microscope
and cinematOgraph. says OF the lnven-
ton of VI. Commander: 1T means
permanent record Of the movements
of minute organisms. which can after
ward be studied in detail at leisure.
It's value to medical biological and
meteorological science can hardly be
exaggerated"

records as the circulation Of proto-

A BEE FARM ON CITY ROOF
Reading Mans Hives Yield Large
Amount Of Honey to Their
Owner

Reading, Pa.-Reading has a bee
farm" so situated that 80 per cent.
of the people in that part Of town even
do not know Of its presence. To the
busy bees all roads seem to lead to
this place, for they can fly so feet up
in the air, and still be able to reach
their home, without coming In con-
tact with humanity. At the foot Of
Neyersink mountain. in the northwest
ern section OF the city, lives julius
Wagner. On the roof Of his house
are many bee hives. Under the win
dow sills are q number OF holes lead
ing to a garret room. where there are
many more hives and where millions
of busy little workers come and go
day by day, bringing each time little
honey from some clover field, some
tree that Is in bloom or from other
sources, thus helping Julius Wagner
to conduct the most successful and
novel apiary in Berks county.
Mr.. Wagner made his start in Read
ing in 1867 with one hive. To this
he added hive after hive from year to
year, until to-day he has nearly two
score hives in the little garnet room
and on the roof and as many more out
in the country on the premises OF
friends.
Mr.. Wagner says the swarming OF
bees is unnecessary II the bee keep
er properly cares for them. You must
keep these busiest Of little laborers
supplied with lots OF work. The mo-
ment they find they have nothing 10
do and their little homelike cells are
filed with honey they get lazy and
swarming will follow. II you remove
their honey when the combs are just
about filed they will Immediately go
to work and refill them and not think
OF swarming
Mr.. Wagners little workers gen.
orally keep busy for about forty-one
days. when their tiny wings get tired
and they gradually die of.
Mr.. Wagner by careful breeding OF
the Italian bees. has been successful
In acquiring perfect queens. He has
had colonies that produced in one
season as much as three hundred
pounds Of honey.
