DISCOURSES ON DYNAMITE DY-
NAMICS APROPOS THE TAFT
DEMONSTRATION.
Editor County Record

Editor County Record
l see your correspondent from Taft
has given very good account of the
experimental dynamite work in ditch
blasting and blowing out stumps.
But find that varying conditions
will give a variety of results IN
blasting out a canal, for it is only in
big bitches or canals that explosives
will help economically. 1t is too ex-
pensive for common plantation
bitches, or even small stumps, but
will hasten the determination OF
large stumps, although somewhat ex-
pensive. A hole is bored in the
ground with a common 2-inch auger
about 8 feet slanting, so as to get
near the tap root of the stump; put
in the hole 4 or 5 half-pound charges
of the dynamite, set fire to fuse
and run! Fifty or sixty yards is gen.
orally a safe distance. These car
tridges cost 9 cents apiece. | think
it would greatly assist in digging
canals or large bitches through
swamps or hard ground.
Trees, ,stumps, roots, etc, would be
torn out and the remaining loosened
earth shoveled out by hand. A COM
mon Pinch auger hole 3 feet deep at
intervals of 18 or 20 inches, for a
distance of perhaps 80 or 40 feet,and
one half-pound cartridge inserted to
the bottom and filled with earth in
each hole, then explode the middle
charge with a lighted fuse, and the
whole number of charges appear to
explode simultaneously.
But the ground was sandy at Taft,
in that mud and water, and the holes
seemed to cave in somewhat, so the
dynamite did not get deep enough
and the result was a rather shallow
excavation at some points. When
the ditch or canal is to be a WIDE
one, two or more parallel lines OF
holes are to be bored to certain dis
tances and exploded.
Some of the people said there were
two kinds of "din-na-mite" ,one kind
would explode downward and the
other would explode upward; so |
would suggest that for ditching we
had better use the kind that eXplodeS
downward and let it root out an en-
cavation. especially when the caving
sand prevents getting the charge
deep enough. ! don't know what
kind they had there that day, but If

ward. it was worse than kicking
mule, for mud and water and general
debris flew upward to the tree tops
and fell in showers all around; so We
must watch and don't get behind the
kicking kind, for it will tear up
things. Some called it "din-na-nllte'
some said it was dynamite, but |
think it must have been dy-na-
mighty from the dynamic power it
displayed.
| hope the company will harness
it and make it dig central canals
throughout the level stretches of the
miles and leagues of that pine for

his fields into the central canal, for
that level land will never wash out,
nor wear out till the sand rots. That
section has a great future!

Many Norwich people take their lives in their hands by neglecting the kid neys when they knew these organs need help. Sick Kidneys are responsi- ble for q vast amount of Auffering and i'll health, but there is no heed to sui fer nor te remain in danger when all iiseases and aches and pains due to weak kidneys can be quickly and per- manently cured by the use Of Deans Kidney Pills. Here is a Norwich citf- xen'a reorganization.
 Patrick FJ. Fitzgerald. S6 Mechanic Street, Norwich, Conn, says: ' can recommend Doan's Kidney Pills as a reliable kidney remedy. When they first came to my attention 1 was hav- ing considerable trouble from pain and iameness across the small of my back and through my kidneys. When read about Doans Kidney Pills. I felt sure. they were just the remedy I re- Quired and their use proved that was right. Loss than the contents of one box removed the 1ameness of my back, drove the pains away and regulated the passages of the kidney secretions. My advice to any person suffering from kidney trouble is to procure Doan's Kidney Pills at N. D. Sevin & Sons Drug Store and give them fair trial.'

THE JAIL IN FUTURE

The most successful snusSlers in all countries have been women, and they have not been women of low de- gree It Is true thar their respecta- bility and ability to pay fines have made the courts somewhat tolerant of them; and it is likely true that they take the risks because there have been two chances to one of not being caught and getting the goods and jewels in fros, but when Mrs. Hi1l, wife of a Brooklyn horseman, brought into this country a sable coat valued at SS,0O0 with an idea that if caught there would not be any more severe penalty than n fine which her husband was amply able to pay. she was not aware that a new rule had been established and the prosecutors and the court were just waiting to make an example of a Representative of her sex to check this business.

TIE NEW AIR FIRE ALARM.

The new fire alarm system is styled the ~Air Alarm" Its basis consists of n small hollow wire of copper alloy, one-eishth of an inch in diameter and containing a tiny insulated wire
 The hollow wire acts as conductor for the air. whose expansion causes a fire alarm 10 sound The tiny wire is known as the trouble wire. If for any reason the hollow wire is cut or broken, the result Is that an electric circuit is also broken. which causes the little wire to send trouble alarm to the headquarters of the alarm company. Fire headquarters hears nothing. unless there happens flo be a real fire at the time the wire breaks, or is cut.
 Loops of this inconspicuous hollow wire are strung around the ceiling or carefully concealed behind the mould inE of the rooms. houses and buildings to bo protected. the loops ending in a detoctor. which consists principally of a disc containing delicate dia- phrasm-
 If fire starts in a room. the air in tho hollow tube expands under the in- fluence of the heat and operates a sensitive diaphragm In the detector, causing it to close an electrical cir cuit which sets in operation all the marvellous fire alarm machinery.
 An the older systems are held large ly defective. due to the use of what Is known as a "ther1nostat,' placed mt intervals on the ceiling. These are constantly exposed to the effects of the air and the electrical contacts be- come oxidized. or clogged with dust and when needed fail to operate at all or only after a raging fire is in full blast
 Briefly. the new system scores it's main success in the principle that the best way to solve the great fire haz- ard problem of the day is to deal with ineipient fires instead of conflagra- tions.
 The new system gives an almost in- stantaneous alarm. If a pair of cur tains catch afire. or even a newspaper, an effective alarm is given within ten to forty seconds. Moreover another alarm is rung on box outside of the building, which also indicates the ex- act location of the fire. Thence the alarm goes on and directly into the fire headquarters, where the exact To- cation Is also announced.
 From beginning to end the system Io altogether automatic. This elilni- nation of the human element also ellm- mates the danger of error.
