LID DOWN IN WINCHESTER.

The lid" which had been a bit IL
secure for some time, went down with
bang that could be heard all over
Winchester Sunday, when Chief OF Po,
lice Doran notified hotels, restaurants,
drug stores and other places not to sell
tobacco of any description, chewing
gum and souvenir postcards under
penalty of being arrested. Profes'
sional and business men out for a
stroll ia the afternoon found it impos'
sible to buy cigars and cigarettes any
where. Only registered hotel guests
were allowed to buy, and in restaurants
men had to purchase something to eat
to secure tobacco. Pool and billiard
table establishments have been warned
against allowing youths under II years
old to play games.

ANSWER TO ALARMIsTs.

The forensic guns of the House Of
Representatives we're trained yesterday
on war alarmists. Representative
Hull, of Iowa, started the proceeding
during the pendency OF the army ap-
preparation bill by denounciug a
Washington attorney, who declared IN
an interview published in paper that
the army was in lamentable condl-
ton OF unreadiness for. war.
Mr.. Hull spiritedly declared that it
was crime to permit such allegations
to pass unchalIenged and observed that
there were more military critics in the
United States than in all the rest of the
world.
Mr.. Hull said that the government
had been for some years accumulatlng
reserve ammunition; that is, nearly
Is, 900, 900 rounds for small arms, all
that the country needed to accumulate
for public defense, was already in re-
serve and more could be manufactured
as rapidly as needed. He said that
$50, 900 improved Springfield rifles and
an ample supply OF Krag-Jorgensens
and other makes we're on hand.
Mr.. Tawney, of Minnesota, chairman
OF the committee on appropriations,
declared that if this country was not in
condition of preparedness after spend
ing an amount almost equal to the
bonded Indebtedness OF the United
States ut the close OF the civil war and
FIVE times as much as the cost of the
Panama canal for preparedness, then
IF we ever will be prepared, it will be
when our nation is bankrupt and at the
expense or our national credit. -
Mr.. Douglas and General Keifer, OF
Ohio, also spoke in defense OF the
army.

THE EXPLOSION ON THE della
WARE.

As was stated in the Gazette, eight
men was scalded to death on the
battleship Delaware off Cape Hatteras
yesterday. They were trapped in one
of the detached frerooms of the battle
ship and their escape by the ladders and
ventilators was cut off by dense clouds
of scalding steam. The ship was on her
way to the Norfolk navy yard from the
West Indies. One man was so badly
scalded that he will die.
The meager details in the wireless
dispatches tell OF one Of those horrible
accidents that every now and then oc-
cur aboard American warships. The
Delaware was making good speed up
the coast having been detached from
the Atlantic fleet and sent to the Norfolk
navy yard for repairs, which could not
be done on the drill grounds.
At 9:20 yesterday morning, when off
Cape Hatteras, the explosion occurred.
Three backheads on boiler No. 5, one
OF the immense battery OF steam gen.
orators required to drive the 10000
ton sea fighter, exploded. There were
only the nine men mentioned above in
/ the freroom at the time. The bodies
OF all the victims were horribly scalded
by the escaping steam, and several oi
them who tried to climb the ladder to
safety we're literally roasted as they
clung to the hot rungs of the iron es.
cape.
When the accident occurred fire
quarters we're sounded, but there was
no excitement. The work OF reliei
went forward as speedily aspossible. Il
was found that the ship was not seri'
ously crippled, and that she would be
able to make port. The wireless was

While the Cost Of LiVing

has been going up during the last twenty
years, the cost OF ELECTLC LIGHTING
has been cut two ways. Consumers pur-
energy, the unit of electric energy be-
ing the watt. The rates for electric

and at the same time GREATER LIGHT

VALUE of the WATT has been in
creased and the COST OF the WATT has
been decreased. Tho modern tungsten

SPHERIClTI OF THE EARTH.
"ParaIsx" Bet Against II, ard He Lost
His WAGER

The straighteSt canal in the world is
in England and runs from Firth, in
Cambridgeshirc. TO DenverS Sluice,
twenty-five miles away. It was here
that years ago Il decisive experiment
was conducted 10 prove the sphericity
OF the earth. At that time, says "High-
ways and Byways In Cambrid@cShirc,'
deluded gentleman, who called him
self "ParallaX." was ObSesScd with thu
notion that the globe was n fat disk
and used to go lecturing with great
vigor on the subject. After these lee
lures lie invited questions, none of
which was able TO shake his belief
When asked, for example, "Why does
the hull of ship disappear below the
horizon while the maStS remain Wis
ible:" ne would answer. because the
lowest stratum Of air is the densest
and therefore soonest cOncealS objects
seen through it." Finally he showed
his whole hearted belief in his absurd
views by laying a heavy wager that no
one would diSDrOVe them. The stakes
were deposited in the hands Of judges,
and the trial, under agreed conditions,
took place upon the New river, as part

central cross would appear above the
other to an observer looking through
a telescope leveled from the crosstree

as one. ''Parallax" declared that he
did see them so. but the judges unani-
mO.isly decided against him. and the

DEADLY MINE GASES.
Their Action Upon the Flame OF the
Safety Lamp.

Safety Lamp.
The safety lamp. Il heavy metal Ian
tern shaped object with circular
globe of heavy plate glass. is the only
light other than electricity that can be
safely carried into Il gaseous mine.
The lamps are lit before they are
taken into the mine and, in addition,
are securely locked. that no accident
or ignorant intention may expose the
open flame to the gases of the mine.
Over small sOOty yellow flame
which gives Il light less bright than
that of an ordinary candle are two
wire gauze cones fitting snugly inside
the heavy globe, and it is through
these cones that the flame draws the
air which supports it. The presence OF
black damp. or carbon dioXide, can
easily be detected. If not by its Odor, by
the action Of the flame, which grows
dim and, if the black damp exists iii
any quantity, is finally extinguished.
White damp. the highly explosive gas
which is most feared. has, on the
other hand totally different effect.
In the presence of this gas the flame
of the safety lamp becomes pointed
and as the gas grows stronger the
flame seems TO separate from the wick
and an almost invisible blue cone
forms beneath it. If the miner con-
tinucs to advance into the white damp
he will pass through line in which
there are nine parts of air to one part
gas Ghe explosive miXture), and the
lamp will instantly register this eX-
plOsiyc condition by sudden crack
ling inside the gauze and the eXtin-
gushing Of the flame. Were 1t an open
lamp the explosion ignited by the
fame would sweep throughout the en-
tire workings, carrying death and de-
structiOn before il, but by the con-
struction Of the safety lamp the ex-
ploSion confines itself to the limited
area within the gauZc cones. and I'M
less the lamp is moved suddenly and
the fame is dragged through the GauZc
Mt the Instant that the explosion Oc-

tend beyond the gauZe.-AtlantiC.
