FIRST RE-
INFORCED BUILDING.

To the music of escaping
steam, the steady chug-cug of
the great concrete mixer which
swallows stone and cement as
tho the. diet agreed with it, with
a swarm of skilled mechanics
everywhere in evidence, the first
reinforced concrete building
ever erected in Hendersonville is
now we'll under way.
Edwards & Blythe, the con-
tractors putting up the Peoples
National Banks new building,
expect to have the magnificent
structure completed about June
1st, if the weather continues
favorable.
The structure will be of re-
inforced concrete throughout,
walls, floors and roof and will
cost about $24, 900.
It will be. of course, abso-
lutely freproof. Architecturally,
the plans show a very handsome
structure, the banking house in
the center with a store room on
either side.

Ancient Ideas of Africa.

In medieval times Africa was an
unknown continent as well as Asia.
Until a few years after the discovery
Of Columbus no one had sailed around
1t. and it was quite genera. ly thought.
as it had previously been thought In
regard to Asia. that the African con-
tinent extended on and on indefinitely.
1t was supposed that far TO the south
was the zone of heat. in which no hui
man being could live. This was by no
means an unreasonable inference to
the ancients. They knew that the far
Their they sailed to the north the colder
it grew and that in the extreme north
was a region OF perpetual snow. They
also knew that tue farther they sailed
to the south the warmer 1t grew, and
what was more natural for them to
suppose that if they went far enough
in that direction they would come upon
lands that were parched aud baked
and upon seas that boiled. where moth
Ing could live but salamanders?

FATAL EXPERIMENTS

tAmerican News service.)

Paris, June 1.-THE interest taken
by Frederic Martin, an employee at
the Bicetre poorhouse, in chemistry
has proved fatal to the unfortunate
man, and has also led to disastrous
results to a too-confiding friend Mar
tin, who was 80 years of age. devoted
most of his leisure to the manufac-
ture of explosives, not, it must be ex-
planned with any sinister design: and
only five days ago he had let OFF an
Internal machine of his own construc-
tion on bit of waste ground. and
with infinite satisfaction to himself
Encouraged by. this experiment. he
bought an old shell, and yesterday at
ternoon he filled it with a mixture of
picric acid and nitroglycerine in the
presence of two of his comrades. who
considering the proceeding extremely
imprudent warned him of the risk that
he was running and then left the
room. The shell had been filled, and
it had still to be fixed, so Martin went
off and persuaded another of his COM
rades, Charles Honet. Il year or two
his junior. to come and hold it while
lie set 10 WOFk 10 CLOSE II. suddenly
a terrific report spread CONSERVATION
among the numerous tenants of the
poorhouse. The shell had exploded
Martins chest was broken in, and his
hands*were carried away. while Honet
lost an eye. sustained the fracture OF
an arm, and was bruised all over. Mar
tin expired in terrible agony in a few
moments, and Honet is in a very crit
ical condition.
The officials of the poorhouse say
that Martin was an excellent employe
He had been several years with them
and had given perfect satisfaction. He
was of a reserved and retiring char
acter, being probably engrossed by his
| chemical studies. AS his political opin.
| ions were of a very advanced type, a
report naturally got about that he was
experimenting with a view to an an
archist outrage, and, indeed, that he
was actually attempting mischief when
the shell exploded; but there is not the
slightest grounds for such a suppose
ton. The police authorities have con
ductetd searching investigation, and
they are quite convinced that Martin
only took an innocent interest in ex.
plosives.

June is the month of roses,
So they say.
But they also talked of blossoms
Due in May.
And of rainbow showers in April
Lightly tossed.
But each real demonstration
Was frost.
So when you sing of roses
And of June.
Be prepared for speedy changes
In the tune.
Yet be patient, though uncertain
Be the sky.
We may look for settled weather
