RETALIATION BY
 THE SALOON MEN
All Minors Who Attempt to Buy a Drink Will Be Arrested-One
 Caught Yesterday.

George Bromc. said to he t9 years old. was arrested yesterday by William Widmer, special officer who has been looking out for the interests of the sa- loon men in their efforts to retain their licenses and refrain from selling liquor to minors Brome was arrest ed in a Washington street saloon and Widmer will swear that he saw him attempt to purchase intoxicants.
 Since the revocation of three licenses several weeks ago the saloon r1en have taken steps to see that their bartend- CTS do not. intentionally or otherwise. violate the law by selling to minors. They have become so strict of late that it is almost impossible to purchase a drink in Phoenix unless one has a fine growth of white whiskers. The only way for a man who has passed his majority by but d few years to get wet nourishment is to bring along the certificate of his birth.
 Widmer says that he saw Brome try ing to buy drink. He asked Brome how old he was and says Brome re- piled twenty though he afterwards confessed to one year less. Brome was placed in the city jail and will re- main there till Monday unless he finds some one who will go on his bond.

THE REIGN OF rERPsIcHoRe.

Terpsichorean gracefulness, which for long time threatened to become a lost art. is again coming into its own. incidentally, it is elbowing and pushing the other arts aside in a way that, to say the least, is very un- kind.
 A few years ago Americas knowl- edge of dancing was confined to the dreamy waltz. which gave young men an opportunity to put their arms around young girls. Two-steps and quadrilIes were fairly popular. and later on the barn dance made it's re- appearance.
 In the past year or so, however. dancing has undergone more changes than the automobile. From mere whirling about the room, it has be- come a science of movement, express ing all the emotions of human nature.
 Isadora Duncan. for instance. has established a Morse code of move ments. Two steps to the right can be made to represent a child crying for it's mother. Two to the left may be a mob shouting for vengeahce. A few movements of the arm may mean love or ecstacy. It all depends on what one wishes to read into It.
 Then Genee came along with other varieties of dancing-a whirlwind Of poetry Later came another dancer. whose speciality is initiating the sinu- ous movements of snake. And all these. undoubtedly. are but forerun- Bers. After while we shall have srlendid limitations of an airship in action and of firemen sliding down the pole making ready for a fire. The field is illimitable.
 Even the president and Speaker Cannon have taken to the idea At the White House dinner they are re- ported to have executed several steps of an oId-fashioned hoe down" These steps. according to the latest fashion. may have had all the cryptic meaning of an Ibsen drama.
 If this great rhythmic movement continues, it may be quite possible for the insurgents and regulars of the future to dance their battles, thus at one stroke doing away with disagree able noise, adding to their own grace. and presenting spectacle that will delight the eye and save the ear.- Washington Post.

MILLIONS OF POUNDS
 OF EXPLOSIVES

Oe hundred and fifty manufactur | ing plants in the United States are
 producing 800. O.oO0.o0O pounds of explo- sives annually. In the days of the
 old Kentucky squirrel rifle the only explosive manufactured was black gum l powder. In the dark days of the ,civil | war. days were darker because of the rolling black smoke of gunpowder
 which marked fields of battle. miles beyond the thunder of it's guns. Today this old charcoal -saltpeter- sulphur explosive, whether in battle field or coal mine. largely has passed , its usefulness. When the Spaniards were using the high power. smokelcss nitro powders against United States troops in Cuba and the Philippines oc- casionally panics struck our men. whose every shot with the old, black explosive marked the firer for the hidden riflcmen, whose weapon not only left no smoke. but which hent it's jacketed messenger of death to an enormously greater range. says the Chicago Tribune.
 At some period of his life almost every man in civilization and out of it has been interested in explosives. To make the use of explosives safe has been problem for generations. and with the new high explosives that have come into the; old field of black powder the problem continues un-' Solved The fact that substance is explosive defeats the end of safety. But in a recent primer on explo- sives as used in the coal mines of the country the geographical survey points out that -safe" men, with Knowledge of the substance which they are using. should make approach to this end safely.
 Without knowledge of that which he may be working. the chemist occasion ally has blown himself and his labo- ratory to atoms-sametiiBg not yet too late in scientific research to oc- cur. The miller. working in the dust of his flour mill. knows the dangers that may exist in flour dust when combined with oxygen from the att mosphere and fire applied. The ruin wrought in Minneapolis from flour dust explosions in 1878 has it's place in history Sawdust. sugar dust, soap dust and coal dust are mighty agen- cies for destruction 1T only ripe TOT the rapid combustion possible to them.
 It was the discovery of nitroglycerin which brought about those new high explosives which have done so much to place black gunpowder among the back numbers of explosives. From the nitric acid base many powerful ex- plosives have been evolved in many forms.
 Pure cotton fibre. as placed on the Christmas tree to represent snow. is highly fnflammable. as scores of cele- brants have erason to know. But this same purified cotton, when dip ped in nitric acid under certain con- tiitions and dried, becomes the deadly gun cotton, almost without any phys ical change that may be marked by the eye or sense of touch. In prac- tice a little sulphuric acid is added to the nitric acid, the cotton is

RAIN WAS GENERAL
 IN CENTRAL ARIZONA
A Good Rise in the Verde Is Expected,
 to Follow it.

! The glorious rain that Phoenix en-
 ioyed Friday afternoon and night
 would have been more glorious had ! it lasted longer. but as the news | comes in from other points. it is, to say the least, very gratifying as it is. and was of incalculable benefit to the [ country generally. There was enough | to give the valley a good wetting and the reports are that there was more
 rain all around than here in Phoenix. Ben Yeagcr. who is with the Yeager
 sheep bands near Congress Junction, telephoned yesterday that an inch and a half of rain fell there and in- sures fine range conditions for some time to come. The grass had started on the deserts even without the rains. and was coming up nicely even if a little late The danger was that it
 would burn up again right away. but
 the rains insure d good growth of vegetation before the hot weather Lambing is practically over and shear
 ing has begun. The lamb crop was
 not a banner product. by any means
 but it was pretty good for an off year, much better than had been feared some time ago.
 News came from Flagstaff that the
 precipitation there amounted to 2.12
 inches. snow and rain together. From Jerome Weather Observer Jesunofsky received advices that 2.50 inches fell at that point. and on that informa-
 ton it was predicted that there would
 be d rise of from two to four feet in
 the Verde and the lower Salt last night or this morning. An inch of rain fell at Granite Reef and from that point one can see snow on the Four Peaks. There was a good rain at Roosevelt and through all that section. and presumably east of there. Though there was no unusual inflow at Livingston yesterday, it is expect ed there will be some rise soon and the water is gradually getting a little higher in the reservoir. having gained a tenth of a foot in the preceding twenty-four hours. It is now at the highest point yet reached. little less than 122 feet.

I washed. reduced to pulp while wet. and afterward pressed into sticks and dried at low temperature. Nitroglyccrin is produced by run ming common glycerin into a mixture of nitric and sulphuric acids of the stronger tests. the mass kept cool, and a steady stirring process maintained until the admixtures arc brought up te grade as one of the most powerful Of all explosives. The substance is a dense liquid which when pure is colorless. In ordinary use. however. it is pale yellow and to some extent poisonous, whether touching the skin only or it's fumes breathcd at close range. one drop of the explosive sticking to the end of a finger will produce a violent headache in the person unused to it. Most workers with the stuff become more or less immune to these disagreeable features of the poison externally. though to take it into the mouth would be dan gerous.
 Years ago. when shooting wells with nitroglycerin in the oil regions. this explosive was responsible for so many accidents that it's manufacture and use were forbidden by law. Stories without end have been written and told of it's vagaries. Dropping d common key upon a. can of it on some one occasion had blown lives and property to kingdom come, while again horses are said to have run away with a wagon body filled with it, smashed the wagon-and nothing doing in the explosion line.
 But this new nitroglyccrin was of such use as a high explosive that the manufacturer set about reducing it to safer form. This was brought about by reducing llquor to solid by using dope" Black powder has been used as an active dope: rotten stone as an inactive solidifier. At the present time. however. a standard dynamite is composed of 40 per cent nitrogly- cerin. i4 per cent nitrate of sodium. Is per cent of wood pulp and 1 per cent calcium carbonate.

HELEN ROBINSON LEFT
 BEHIND HER s2,880
Strange. Case of Woman Who oisap-
 peared Last Wednesday.

Searching parties beat the brush yesterday in the neighborhood of Six Points in an effort to find Ellen Tor gerson the Swedish woman who dis appeared from the home of Mrs. Kucher Of Madison street She was last seen at the Burris residence on Grand avenue where she went to in quire about rooms.
 An envelope addressed to the woman and received several days after she disappeared was opened yesterday by Marshal Moore. As was suspected the envelope contained the womans bank book on the Illinois Trust and Savings bank. of Chicago. It showed a balance of sls2S TO In addition there was a New York draft in the envelope for s20O. This money. in ease the woman fails to appear nor her body is found will be forwarded as she directed, to her sister in Sweden.
 The entries in the book show that the woman. was in Chicago from Au- gust 25, 1899 when a first deposit of $500 was made. tU January 1910 She had evidently been d hard working woman for there were regular monthly deposits of small amounts and few withdrawals sIn ninc years she in- creased her original capital of s140O to s26ll. and after that withdrew more than she put In. On March r. of tho present year she wrote tn the bank for the s200. draft and also for her bank book which had doubtless been left at the bank for balancing The woman came to Phoenix on the 18th of this month so must have written for the money almost immediately
 The Torgerson woman is supposed to have been seen last at Six Points woman answering her description visited the Burris home on Grand ave nue last Tuesday and asked for rooms She was told that they had none. She returned Wednesday. the day on which she was last seen. and this time cid not enter the house as she seemed frightened by the dogs.

put up in stick forms from sevcn- eighths of an inch to two and half , inches in diameter, and eight inches long. The dynamite stick freezes any
 where from 70 to 8 degrees and the stick must be thawcd thoroughly
 through in order that it's full explo- sivc effect may be obtained.
 It Is in thawing dynamite before open fires or in leaving it in the sun. where it's nitroglycerin element drains away from it. that much of the dan
 ger of dynamite has risen. The nitro
 glycerin. leaking from a package of the solid sticks, may spread over sur faces subjected to fire. friction or blows. which may explode it. The ad- vice of the geological survey experts is {, to keep all such dynamite cxplo- sives in separate magazine. from which just the quantities required may be taken as needed. The range of temperature of such house should not fall below ,: degrees nor rise above go degrees Fahrenheit.
 While d great deal of dynamite is fired in non-gaseous coal mines by use of powder fuses of various kinds. it is recommended that detonating caps be used and fired by electricity to ignite the tamped explosive.
 This detonating cap is brass cyl inder about the diameter of a lead pencil. filled with illuminate of mer- cury. This illuminate within the cap is one of the most powerful explosives known. and is produced by pouring mercury into strong nitric acid. after ward decanting it into common alco- hol. After apparently violent reac- tions gray. crystalline powder is deposited This is washed carefully to free it from acids. after which it should be kept covered with water until 1t is ready to use. The water may be taken from it with alcohol and while still wet with the liquor iti may be put into the detonator shell. though at all times the utmost care must he exercised even by the expert who handles the illuminate.
 Yet where these caps are used at the end of powder fuses, men have
