A series of heavy explosions at about
Z O'Clock Thursday morning caused
more or less speculation on the part OF
some OF the people who heard them,
but it was soon learned that the
sounds came from the Gravels." as
the shoal near the east bank OF the
river in front of the property OF the
Augusta Lumber Co. is called. and
were due to the blasting of some OF
the powders near the upper end OF
the company's boom and which kept
the logs from floating down as far as
the mill. There were five or six of these
powders and they were removed by
dynamite. How the powders came
there is not known. Hon. Ira H RAN
dali said yesterday morning in speak
ing of them that az years ago there
was a depth of 10 feet of water over
the spot where the powders lay. and
he vas at a loss to understand how
they came there unless some time IN
the past they had been bnought down
from the vicinity Of the Augusta dam
nv fields Of ice and dropped on the
spots which they occupied until the
dynamite shattered them.

Cheaper PROCESS OF DYEING
English Experts Have Discovered Ad-
vantaqes In the Use Of
Sulphur.

At the Huddersf1eld Technical col
lege, England. q discovery has been
made which, 1t Ia claimed, will revo-
lutionize the dyeing trade and obviate
the necessity of importing aniline
dyes. The plan is to utilize sulphur
dyes for dyeing woods and fabrics 9th
er than cotton, for which sulphur
dyes have been hitherto exclusively
applied, and the experiments have dis
covered that they may be used with
success for wool, silk, artificial silk.
hemp, and other flbers, which can be
dyed either separately or in combina-
ton. Sulphur dyes are cheap and
to the properties of milled cloth. Adj
ditional advantages claimed for the
new process Is that wool, silk, artifi-
cial silk and hemp can be dyed to-
gether In one bath. thereby saving the
cost Of separate dyeing and the cost Of
dyeing by the present two-bath proc
ess. Another economy that is eff
fected Is in regard to the use of steam,
as by the new process woods are dyed
at temperature of about 1870 degrees
instead of at boiling point, as under
the present process In this connec-
ton 1t is curious to note that the in
vention entails a reversion from costly
machines to cheaper ones The proc
ess is already in partial operation.
Materials that have already been dyed
have been subjected to all the ordi-
nary tests. which they have stood sat
isfactorily.

NO GERMS ON FIRING LINE
At Least Soldiers, Hourly Exposed to
Death, Have One Advantage
Over Civilians.

Trenches are healthier than bar.
racks or camps for soldiers, SO far as
infectious diseases are concerned De-
spite the hardships, cold, exposure, ir.
regular meals, strain of nerves, and
other wholly unhygienic conditions,
infectious diseases are usually at q
minimum, on the firing line. SO says
Col. Valery Harvard of the United
States medical corps DR.. T. w. Hill
of the Minnesota Public Health asso-
citation explains this seeming paradox.
In the barracks and camps the sol
diers have wide intercourse with each
other, and with civilians, thus picking
up whatever infectious diseases are
going about. Despite regular life.
good meals, discipline and sanitation.
the infectious diseases attack them.
But in the trenches they are compare
lively isolated, and since infected sol
diers are not allowed there, those on
the firing line have little chance to be-
come infected at all. Such injuries
as cold, starvation. strain can produce
are, of course. suffered, but Infectious
diseases are not included In this list.
Parallel cases in civil life are not un-
common, and everyone knows Of fam
lilies who live like pigs, yet are never
sick, while other families living under
apparently the best conditions are
more or less constantly infected with
one epidemic disease after another.
Careful investigation always shows
that the former escape. because they
do not happen to be exposed to infec-
ton.

A nI.onuerx ln steel.

A Sheffield firm has introduced
'Tirth's stainless" steel, which 1t
claims is nonrusting. unstainable and
untarnishable. This steel is espe-
cially adapted for table cutlery. as the
original polish Is maintained after
use, even when brought in contact
with the most acid foods, and 1t only
requires ordinary washing to cleanse.
It is claimed that it retains a keen
edge much like that of the best double
shear steel, and, as the properties
claimed are inherent In the steel and
are not due to any treatment, knives
can readily be sharpened ON Steel
or by using the ordinary cleaning ma
chine or knifeboard. 1t is expected
it will prove a great boon, especially
to large users Of cutlery, such as no
tells, steamships, restaurants. The
price of this steel Is about twenty
six cents per pound for ordinary
sizes, which is about double the price
of the usual steel for the same pur-
pose. It also costs more to work up,
so that the initial cost of articles
made from this new discovery, 1t is
estimated, will be about double the
present cost. but it is considered that
the saving Of labor to the customer
will more than cover the total cost of
the cutlery in the first twelve months.

Couldn't FOOL The DOG.

A citizen of Bangor. Me-, has a skye
terrier dog which has been taught to
take paper bag in his mouth and go
10 a restaurant after his dinner. He
goes TO the door of the establishment
and scratches the outside till he is
admitted. Then he trots down stairs
and deposits his paper bag on the floor
and waits patiently until some meat
is placed in it, and returns to his own
or.
The other day the restaurant people
placed some raw potato cuttings in
the bag instead of meat and twisted 1t
up as uspal. The terrier did not dis
cover the trick until he had reached
the outside door of the restaurant,
when he suddenly dropped the bag on
the floor, paved 1t open and found
out that he had been fooled. He could
not be induced to touch 1t until some
meat had been placed in the bag in
plain sight. when he took up his din
ner and trotted on with 1t.
