wine as q product Of normal grape

cussed as to whether it would be prof
fable to extract the cocoanut water
for the sake of it's cane sugar, but as
this amounts to only one-tenth per
cent the process would not be COM
mercially successful in spite Of the
water being a waste product. Even
If the water contained per cent OF

amount would be improbable. The

DYNAMITE EXPLOSION IN JERSEY :
ICITY THROWS MANHATTAN ISLAND
into FEARFUL PANIC AT NOON TODAY

Scores of these people were caught

showered over the entire lower end

of these sustained only slight injuries,
first reports II ade to police head
quarters included a number Of serious
accidents.

falling plateglass and a workman OF
a new skyscraper was shaken from
the roof of the building upon he was

The fierce shock was felt worse at

Building, the Customs House and
practically every big building in the
lower end of the island suffered
the Battery to the post office. was
sprinkled with broken glass. The
police say that the lac of fatalities
was little short Of miraculous.
The shock of the explosion set off
fire alarms throughout the lower part
of the city and numerous accidents
resulted in a half dozen simultaneous;
calls for police reserves all Of which
added to the confusion In the
midst of the excitement number of
horses, stung by the falling glass, be-
came unmanageable and the traffic
squad had a busy few minutes in the
badly congested streets.
At "a late hour this afternoon the
cause of the explosion had not been
determined.

Tho Retort Legal.

'Sometimes the law seems unjusr
for the reason that it isn't compre-
hended," said a Judge. Take the case
Of the woman prisoner before Sir Ed
ward Coke. This woman appeared in
court with her hat on. The judge said
sternIy:
IA woman may be covered in
church, but not when arraigned in
court Of justice
ITO this the woman replied:
eft seems singular that / may wear
my hat in the presence Of God, but
not In the presence Of man.
"And she would appear, in her legal
ignorance, to have got 1ae better OF
the argument until Sir Edward Coke.
retorted:
"Tt isn't singular at all. Man, with
his weak intellect, cannot discover Sc
crets known to God. and therefore In
investigating truth the court must see
all obstacles put aside. Accordingly
It is fitting that the prisoners hat be
removed and with It the shadow that
it casts on her face"
