A sane FOURTH

According to q Chicago dispatch
Saturday was a very ssne 4th Of
July. 1t says:
Thirteen deaths, 343 injured
that is the total of casualties in the
sanest Fourth Of July ever held in
the United States since tho use of
fire works became popular. The
property loss by fires due directly
to powder-flled inventions was but
$500; trivial when compared to
the heavy damage sustained in pre-
vious years.
There were fewer deaths in the
celebrations today than in any OF
the ,6 years that records of the toll
have been kept, with the exception
Of 1899, when but three lives were
lost. But in that year the number
that was injured was reported at
1914 or three times that Of today.
Since 1899 the yearly loss suffered
from fire works has ranged from
$50, 790 In 1902 to $724.515 in
1909.

One Of the most remarkable i'm
stitutions in the City of Mexico is
the Monte de Piedad or national
pawnshop. The monte is one of
the oldest buildings in the capital
having been built for the private
residence Of Cortes in 1920 and it
has been fortunate to escape tbs
hands of %restorPrs. II was acquir-
ed in 1744 by Count de Regla Ter
reros, who laid out $1,000 600 in
organizing the Monte de Piedad,
with the idea Of saving the needy
from the usury of the. ordinary
pawn broker. its C is attest
ed by its long history, and Mexi-
cans today can get une-third value
on their goods at u rate Of interest
seldom exceeding 3 per cent per
annum. If anyone fails to keep
up his payments the deposited goods
are sold, and any balance over the
sum advanced is handed to the
d~epositor.

OUR BATTLEsHIP MAsTS

A smudge of smoke on the hori-
zon, then two skeleton towers of
steel lattice work just above the
sky line.
A batteship! A United States
%Battleship!
Why? Because United States
b~attleships are the only, ones that
have masts of latticed steel tubing
towers that look as if they were
meant to tram crimson rambler
roses and q hundred or more feet
high.
Fighting tops are obsolete in the
United States navy. The men who
occupy the nests at the masts now
adays are unarmed. Their sole
usefulness to the ship consists in
finding the ranre for the gunners
down below.
The towers a-e made of thu lat
ticed steel so they will remain up
right although riddled with shots
from an enemy's ship. Shells may
pass through the network of tubing
until every strand is severed and
still the towers will stand.
The old steel masts with a single
support could be cut in two and
sent crashing to the deck with q
single shot from the enemy's gun.
The new masts are used as wireless
tower and for searchlight and sig
nal platforms as y ell as for range
finding.
The range finders, usually three
men,, pass canvas belts around
themselves in action. Otherwise
they might be thrown far aboard
by some sudden lurch. The top of
the "wastebasket" mast is like the
lower end of a clock pendulum
when it cores to swaying. The
ship leans over just a foot or two
maybe, the mast six or u dozen
feet.
When the guns are firing below
the c%oncussinn Gets the steel tubes
vibrating like q suspension bridge
with a crowd crossing. Sometimes
the vibration is so strong that the
range finders can't work. Then the
guns are stilled for a minute

SAFETY FIRST METHODS

The demonstration rai Of the u.
S. -ininR bureau arrived from
Ely by No. 8 yesterday and remain
ed intown until No. E came along
last night. The car was open to
the public last evening and E. L.
Steidle and WT. Riggs explained
the object Of the mining bureau in
sending out the cars and the use of
the apparatus carried in the car.
They also gave . demonstration
Of first aid to the injured and in
artificial respiration. A subject
volunteered for demonstrations. He
lay fiat on his back while Mr.. Riggs
treated him for a compound frac-
ture of the hip, broken arm and
broken jaw. When Riggs got
through the subject was barely able
to wink he was so wrapped in
handages.
Mr.. Riggs then gave a demon
stration of artificial respiration.
This was very interesting and a
good thing to put in practice in a
case of drowning. He gave. two
different methods Of producing
artificial respiration and impress
ed upon those present the necessity
of keeping up the treatment as long
as the subject was warm, as he
was not dead until he grew cold.
The treatment he said had been
kept up for six hours before the
subject showed signs of life.
Whenever the car stops at a min
ing camp, classes are drilled in the
nse OF the apparatus, and in first
aid methods. At Ely as men we're
trained. The Government has eight
IF these cars IN the road and sta
toned in different parts of the min
ing regions. The headquarters of
this al are at Billings, Montana.
Prof. Scrugham of the state uni
versity accom- anied the car from
Ely and went with it to Virginia
City where it will remain g few
days. Prof. Scrugham is making an
effort to have one Of these cars sta
toned at the state university. 1t
would be a great benefit to the min
ing communities to have a car sta
toned within easy call in case of
severe mining accidents, such as
fires or gas explosions. A united
effort should be made by the people
to have one of these cars stationed
in this state.
