STRUGGLE NEAR PRECIPICE.
Soldier Attempts to Hurl Officer Out
Into Space.


GENEVA, March I, 1918.
A terrible struggle took place near a
predpice Of 5000 feet, on the south slopes
OF the Bernina range. between an Ital-
ian officer and a private.
An Italian custom house patrol. under
the command Of Lieut.. Roccia. was visit
ing the Alpine posts in the Vaiteline on
the Swiss frontier. when the offiNr had
to reprimand a soldier named Cell. This
man determined to have revenge.
When the patrol was away on other
duty Cell attacked his officer on a lonely
Alpine pass and attempted to throw him
over the precipice. A long struggle fol-
lowed, the men being Of about equal
strength and unarmed.
The officer, to save his life, bit through
an artery in the wrist OF his subordinate.
who collapsed, owing to the loss Of blood.
Soon afterward the patrol arrived and
carried Cell to q hospital in the valley,
where he recovered.
The military court, which has now tried
the case at Milan, took into consideration
Of the soldier, and, above all, the refusal
of the soldier, and above all the refusal
Of his officer-victim to prosecute, and sem
fenced Cell to six months Imprisonment.

Happy Jack Squirrel likes the snow.
He always has liked the snow. 1t
makes him feel frisky. He likes to
run and jump in it and dig little holes
in 1t after nuts which he hid under the
leaves before the snow fell. When his
feet get cold all he has to do is to
scamper up a tree and warm them in
his own fur coat. So the big snow
storm which made SO much trouble for
Unc' Billy Postum just suited Happy
Jack Squirrel, and he had q whole lot
of fun making his funny little tracks
all through that part OF the green
forest in which he lives.
Happy Jack didn't know anything
about Unc' Billy Possum's troubles. He
supposed that Unc' Billy was safe at
home in his own big hollow tree fast
asleep, as he had been most OF the
winter Happy Jack couldn't under
stand how anybody could want to sleep
own business, and Happy Jack had
learned a long time ago not to worry
about other peoples business. SO he
frisked about this way and frisked
up to the tops Of the tallest trees and
down again. just Tor fun and because
he felt SO good.
Sometimes he would stop to rest:
Then he would sit up very straight and
fold his hands across his breast, where
they would get nice and warm In the
fur OF his coat His beautiful, great
gray tail would be arched up over his
back His bright eyes would snap and
twinkle and then he would shout just
for Joy. and every time he shouted he
jerked his big tail. Farmer Browns
boy called 1t barking. but 1t was happy
Jacks way of shouting, and this is
what he would say:
I love to romp! love to play!
I'm happy, happy all IL, the I'd day! ,,..,

and 1 guess I'll see II I have left any

He scampered over to another hollow
tho tree as only Happy Jack can. and
whisked In at the open doorway OF the
hollow. Now. Happy Jack had been IN
that hollow tree SO often that he didn't
once think Of looking to see where ne
something that was soft and warm!
Happy Jack was SO surprised that he
didn't know what to do for q second.
And then all in q fash that something
soft and warm was full OF sharp claws
and sharper teeth. and an angry growl-
ing filled the hollow tree.
Happy Jack was So frightened that
he scrambled out as fast as he could.
When he was safely outside he grew
very angry to. Think that any one
should be in his storehouse, even if it
was an old one. He could hear a very

Preventing Misfires in Dynamiting

Mistires are expensive. They waste
dynamite, fuse, caps and labor. They
necessitate extra labor and care to
fire the load without risk.
Never investigate a mistire soon.
Let it stand an hour or two.
). Sometimes the powder train in a
fuse is broken or damp, but the cotton
of the fuse burns slowly for few
minutes or perhaps an hour until it
reaches dry powder-then away goes
the blast.
But the most frequent cause OF
misfires is defective printing; i. e.,
the placing of the detonator leap or
electric fuze) in the dynamite cart
ridge.
The Iow-freezing dynamite used in
agricultural work is purposely made
difficult to explode, to make it safer
to handle. It will seldom explode
from spark or fret must be shock
ed-strongly. And the force OF the
explosion depends largely on the
kind and direction of the shock wave.
The chief explosive elements in
dynamite are held in absorption by
the wood flour of the cartridge and
are evenly distributed throughout its
whole length.
Therefore the shock wave required
to detonate the dynamite to the best
advantage, is one that travels length
wise of the cartridge.
A shock wave travelling sidewise
across the cartridge may detonate it,
but not with maximum efficiency.
Poor detonation produces smoke,
partly exploded gases, and a weak
explosi on in general.
Correct detonation produces little
smoke and the strongest possible ex-
plosion of the consti tuents of the
dynamite.

the wires as either is likely to cause
a misfre. sFs5a
When punching at the hole in the
cartridge start as near the upper end
as possible and still leave room for
the hairpin. rs
Be sure to point the hole at an
acute angle so as to insure the shock
wave travelling through as great a
length of the cartridge as possible.
While the cap or electric fuse never
put it so far in that it is nearly
through to the other side, because in
this position the shock wave would
shoot out of the cartridge and produce
only partial or no explosion.
By following these directions, you
will avoid misfres and secure max
imum possible efficiency and safety.

passed through the upper end of the
cartridge, the same as the hairpin
wires or they may be tied with string
to the upper portion of the cartridge
if they are too long to pass through
the cartridge readily.
This method of printing is quick,
easy and efficient. It insures length
wise travel of the shock wave, and
also leaves the head of the cartridge
free to lamp against and provide
cushion of dynamite and paper be-
tween the tamping rod and the deton-
ator.
Never lace a fuse through car
fridge. 1t is likely to set ire to the
cartridge before the cap detonates,

CORRECT PRUNING OF A
DYNAMITE CARTRIDGE.

l. The detonator should be No. 6
or stronger-whether it be a cap or
electric fuze. This detonator con-
tains a charge of illuminate of mer-
curry, is easily exploded by a spark,
heat, or pressure, or light shock.
Dynamite is quite safe to handle,
compared with detonators. Don t
drop them, hit them, nor carry them
in your pockets. Don't carry in the
same wagon, box or building as is
used for dynamite, because their ac-
cidental explosion would probably
detonate the dynamite.
