STONE FLYS THROUGH
KNOT HOLE; KILLS l

Walla Walla, Wash, April &c.
c. Osborn, one of the blasting crew at
the Burbank quarry. went to a black,
smith shop to remain while blast
was being fired. H had sat down on a
bench and was talking with some 9th.
err men in the shop when the explosion
occurred
1t was one hundred yards away, but
one small stone, coming like a bull
let. shot straight toward the black
smith shop. 1t struck exactly on a
knot on board. knocking this out it
came whistling through the hole. The
next it encountered was Osborn S
head. He died at once.
E. S. Hennessy. the county coroner,
was informed by c. Mallen, in charge
of the blasting. that five hundred
blasts have been fired there, and the
blacksmith shop has been used every
time as a safety spot. Harry Phelps,
superintendent of the Burbank pro-
ject, who was in the shop at the time,
says Osborn sat foot in front of the
wall. and that shift in his position of
a few inches TO either side would have
saved his life.

STILL MYSTERY HOW
GEN. MORGAN ESCAPED

Columbus. Ohio, April 22.-Although
the tunnel beneath the call block
through which General John Morgan
and his men escaped from the Ohio
penitentiary November q, 1868, was
uncovered by workmen and thorough
ly explored, no light was thrown upon
the mystery of how the little band of
men finally escaped from the prison.
Beneath the cells occupied by the
Confederates and opening into the
walls were the scars of holes which
had been drilled to the tunnel. but as
the ssageway lies wholly within the
walls and the buildings it is not known
how they finally found their way to
freedom
Along the sides of the tunnel there
had been digging in several places,
could have been used as a connecting
tunnel. At one end of the passageway
which is an old air chamber, small
grating overlooks the prison ward,
and this is the only place through
which they could have gone.
In building the new penitentiary the
Morgan cell is to be preserved intact
as historical relic.
The escape has puzzled historians
for almost half century, and that the
prisoners walked out of the peniten-
tiary to freedom through the front
gate either boldly or aided and abetted
by officials of the institution was the
of authorities at the prison.

At the Murray.

Lambs Mankins certainly have
made hit at the Murray this week.
The presentation of this act requires
the entire stage, as the manikins carry
their own stage, audience and perform
ers. On each side of the stage are
regular boxes and these are occupied
by spectators who laugh and applaud
the performers in their efforts to
please. One or two get up and make
very vigorous demonstrations of ap-
prevail when the female manikins APP
pear. And one sporty individual in
the boxes smokes in way that sets
the audience in roar. When one
sees the wonderful manipulation of
these little figures it seems almost i'm
possible that the entire act is managed
by two persons. man and woman.
The closing act by the manikins is a
scene in which lighted ship is seen
going down the river and evokes the
hearty applause of the audience.

nection with this scene, but a rich re-
ward has been reaped. In the twelve
years that Ben Hur" has been before
the public profit of over three mil
lion dollars has been earned. The me-
chanical devices which Mr.. Hagan
employed in constructing this scene is
not new to the stage. In it's simpler
form it has been the backbone of The
County Fair" and many other plays
and has helped enrich the men who
staged melOdramas, with their accom-
paniment of storms, steamships, NOV
ing trains, life bridges and avalanches.
Such effects, however. are cheap illu-
sions, while the chariot race in Ben
Hur" as now presented, is acknowledge
ed to be the most thrilling picture ev-
err shown within the four walls of a
playhouse. 1t is race scene in which
the runner does not progress. 1t diff
fers from the horse races in such
plays as I'm Old Kentucky" The SUI
burban" and Checkers" where the
horses are ridden from wing to wing
In plays where the horses actually
cross the stage there is no need of il
fusion to give the appearance of move
ment, but in race like that driven by
the charioteers in "Ben-Hur.' where
the horses actually run but do not
move forward, there must be some me-
chanical means of deceiving the eye
to give the impression of actual pro-
gress. "Ben-Hur' is a mechanical
mechanical triumph. There is nothing
half done. The illusion is complete,
even in the whirring of the wheels
and driving clouds of dust that fly
from the imaginary floor to the hip
podroms.
1t is not behind the scenes that you
find the secret of .all this but down
beneath the stage in a wilderness of
dynamos. electric wires, windlasses,
shafts and wheels While the horses
are pounding out thunder on the stage
floor during the race, the under re-
giOn is like beehive. Electricians
run here and there. throwing switches
and giving signals. The men are tug
ging at windlass cranks. The signal
bells from which wires lead to the
stage above. keep up a constant din
one ring for one switch, two rings for
another and so on. Only two minutes
it lasts, but during those minutes the
tension in the under regions is greater
than in the audience, which is at first
stunned, and then torn into a perfect
paroXysm of cheers. All the effect of
the chariot race is not exerted upon
the nerves of those who pay to see the
spectacle. There are other men who
are paid to be there, who are worn out
with the terrific work of those two
minutes under the stage.

American Ingenuity.

The creative American stage me-
chanist is fast becoming the most i'm
portant parsonage in connection with
the worlds amusements. The strides
made in the last few years inventing
stupendous scenes have commanded
recognition heretofore denied. Up to
Il few years ago managers simply re-
hashed old plays imported from Eur
ope, until the firm Of Klaw and Erin
ger entered the field. Their progress
siveness worked wonders and today it
can be truthfully stated that their in
dividual efforts have succeeded in
eclipsing all foreign importations.

when Jarrett and Palmer presented
the BLACK Crook" and spectacles or.
iginated by the Kiralfy Brothers, the
only piece of stage mechanism that
the public marveled at was trap"
cut in the stage through which one
of the performers made springing
entrance. In those days a malodrama
called THE World" had a scene show
ing raft at sea, being dashed to
pieces by huge waves, which aroused
considerable interest. In 1885 thee

ton with the late c. B. jefferson,
son of Joseph jefferson, commenced
producing. Their first play, "A Dark
Secret" was brought out at the New
York Academy OF Music. One of the
scenes showed boats sailing to and
fro. II scored an instantaneous hit
and fired this progressive firm with an
ambition to attempt bigger things.

past fifteen years klaw and Erlanger
have stopped at nothing in the way
of expense in giving the American
public the biggest indoor entertain
ments possible
Twelve years ago their attention
was drawn to General Lew Wallace's
interesting novel "Ben-Hur." and nego-
tiations started towards dramatizing
it. General Wallace was like the man
from Missouri-he would not agree
to his work being dramatized unless
shown that the chariot race could be
as realistically presented as described
in his book. II is here the creative
American machanist showed his capa-

alcohol is there all right.

Alcohol is produced by the fermenta
ton of sugar. Potatoes contain starch
that may be converted into sugar by
the addition of malt and then fer
mented. The potatoes are steamed
until the starch is cooked thoroughly.
Then the malt is added. When the
starch has been converted into sugar
a yeast mash is added and the sugar
is fermented. What is left from the
potato mash can be fed to cattle. Elk
reriments have proved that the mash
has high feeding value.
Denatured alcohol is used for heat
ing and lighting, in chemicals, in
varnishes, in explosives and as fuel
for engines. For some years the tax
laws were such that alcohol was too
expensive as fuel for engines. For
this reason machinery has not been
adapted for using deDatured alcohol.
But it is coming into use.
The. United States Department OF
agriculture has issued bulletin
recently on this subject. Denatured
alcohol is being extracted from pota-
toes in other countries with success.
A distillery for this sort of work
might be conducted by farmers CO.
operative association or as private
enterprise. A plant with daily
capacity of eight thousand pounds of
potatoes would cost approximately
So, 600. This is larger, considerably,
than would be practicable for a CO.

the power for the gang pillow and the
engine on the farm before many more
years go by.
A bushel of culled potatoes is worth
fifty six cents. Turned into denatur-

seventy-two cents. The process of ex-

every farmer can carry on, but the
