HOW DYNAMITE BLOWS.
Can Go Up AS Well AS Down in Ex-
pIoson.

Dynamite does not exert its force
downward with more vitality than in
any other direction, the popular be-
lief Notwithstanding. The average
school boy and a host of grownups
are possessed of the conviction that
dynamite tends to wreck that be
meath it and leave objects to the side
or above it virtually intact. This pop
ular belief is based no doubt, upon the
fact that if stick of dynamite is laid
upon a rock and discharged, it will
shatter the stones, whereas a heavy
charge Of gunpowder has virtually no
effect. This striking difference ad-
mits of an easy explanation in theo-
ry. General Abbott fired charges OF
dynamite under water within an up

right iron ring carrying measuring
devices on its sides. He found that
he force of the explosion was SUD-
stantiaEly the same in all directions.
Gunpowder consists of carbon and
sulphur ground fine and intimately
mixed with some other substance
(such as nitrate of potash) capable OF
yielding enough oxygen to burn both
the carbon and the sulphur. 1t is the
exceeding rapid burning of what are
known as its particles that causes the
explosion.
Dynamite differs from powder in
that powder can be burned; dynamite
either can be burned or detonated
Dynamite burns rapidly when lighted
by flame, but it does not actually ex-
plode under these circumstances, so
long as certain conditions are fulfilled.
A certain kind of jar or shock, such
as that produced by a proper full
inmate cap, will explode the dyna-
mite.
An explosion never really is in
stantaneous. When either powder
or dynamite are exploded they pro-
duce an enormous amount of gas rush
ing rapidly from expressive center. Dy-
Mantle having the greater force, the
gases naturally exert powerful in.
huence upon any object upon which
they rest.
Were dynamite and powder explod-
ed under the same conditions, there
would be a marked difference in the
effects. In cases of dynamite eXplo-
sions the gases may be contained in a
space not one-thousandth part as large
as that of the powder and therefore
the force is correspondingly greater.

ICE KEEPS OUT COLD.

Refrigerator cars are KEEP: cool in

is just as much danger that vege-

there is danger in summer that
they will spoil with the heat, and
for a while it was held to be more

now the same thing that keeps out

In the liJle city of WaycrOss, Ga,
Mr.. Loomis proposes establishing a

featuring plant that has been IN
disuse fer some time, which he re-
CARDS as available for his expert

paper-m making machinery, and if there
are 10 setbacks the mills may be
in operation before frosts come.
Three mills will thoroughly test the
availability for making paper of veg
etable pulp that may be obtained
from the fiber of the cotton plant,
from sugar stalks and also the long
fiber of he wild banana plant, which
grows in abundance in the Waycross
soil. II may be that in these mills
tests will be made of the availability
of the waste of the lumber mills

SAYS PORT READING
ITALIANS SELDOM
SEE ACTUAL MONEY
Priest Has More
Evidence in
the Case
THE PADRONES

Further evidence regarding the
treatment which the Italians receive
at Port Reading has been secured by
Rev. Columbino Galassi, pastor of
the Italian Roman Catholic Church
in this city and Port Reading. The
priest now has fifteen men and more
have volunteered, who will take affi-
davits as to their treatment and who
are willing to appear before the
grand jury to tell their story.
One of these men, according to the
priest, will swear that he paid sos
to secure a position on the Port
Reading docks. Others, the priest
says, have paid from $50 to SIS for
a job. Another man on the list will
swear, according to the priest,e that
he is charged 81 month regularly
for rent in the shanties provided for
the Italian employees although he
does not live in the shanty.
Rev. Galassi has in his possession
little checks marked $50 or "25"
which are said to represent money.
The Italian laborer, the priest says,
goes to the store of the padrone and
is given credit for $40 worth of gro
ceries and 81 for shanty rent, He
receives these checks" in the place
of money. 1t is declared that wheth-
er the man has used up all these
checks or not, the $40 and "a are
regularly deducted from his pay en-
velope before he receives 1t and CIV
en- to the padrone. OF course, if he
has used more than the $40 worth
during the month, the additional
amount is charged-that Is the man
is given more checks SO that among
the italians in Port Reading real
money is said to be scarce article,
nearly all the business being done by
these "checks" handed out by the
padrone and practically the only one
who handles actual cash, is the
padrone himself.
The priest Is determined that his
people shall be relieved of this slav-
cry, as he calls it, and be given the
money 70 settle the bills themselves,
also that they be allowed to live
where and how they please without
being charged for the shanty rent.
When all the evidence is complete
1t will be put up to Assistant Prose-
cutor Stricken and laid before the
grand Jury.

AN D

But for his being able to keep on
the surface of the water until aid
arrived, Morris Miller, of 266 Da-
wilson avenue, would have drowned
in the Perth Amboy ferry slip at the
foot of Smith street, shortly after
II o'clock this morning. After gain
ing the boat, Mr.. Miller forgot some
thing he had left in the waiting
room of the ferry house and tried
to get back on the bridge of the
gangway. The boat pulled out sim
ultaneously and he fell between the
dock and the craft, being engulfed
in the suction of water caused by
the boats departure. Chief Engi-
neer Fred Kukuk, of the tug Ash
borne, rescued Mr.. Miller as he was
becoming exhausted.
Mr.. Miller was going to Totem
vile and had been waiting for the
1905 o'clock boat. When the
craft arrived he stepped aboard
without taking a bundle which he
left in a seat in the waiting room. He
did not think of the package until
after sitting down in the mems
waiting room. He rushed, to the
stern of the boat and, though it was
starting he made q leap for the
bridge of the gangway. Just then
the boat and the dock parted, and
Mr.. Miller went through the vacant
space down into the water of the
slip. He disappeared and then came
to the surface and began to swim.
Life preservers were thrown to him
from the boat, which had reached
the end of the slip before it was
known the man was overheard. In
the meantime Mr.. Kukuk had heard
the cries of man overheard, while
standing on his tug, just north of the
slip. Taking off his coat he made
for the scene, leaping up on the
spiles of the north wall of the slip
and diving to the man in the wa
ter. He aided him until a passing
skiff was hailed and came up in the
slip and took aboard both men.
Mr. Miller was then taken to the
tug, where he donned dry clothes,
and recuperated from his exhaustion
