Dust Now Recognized
as Powerful Explosive

1t Is more or less generally well
known that all dust accumulatiOns rep
resent q menace Of no mean proper
lions Dust Is explosive and many
mills were wrecked by this mysterious
power before the real cause was I'M
derstood. In a mine, for instance, the
explosion taking place in one cham
Der was carried to the next and 30 on
until the explosive force swept through
the entire mine and the workings
were wrecked completely. 1t Is only
within comparatively few years that
II was ascertained that this march OF
destruction was conducted through the
subterranean passages by the accumu-
lation of dust on the walls and In the
crevices. Now this Is avoided by q
coating which Is sprayed on and which
prevents the dust thus treated from
exploding. In the case Of grain mills
the damage done by these mysterious
bursts was particularly severe and the
government agencies have been giving
considerable attention to the study Of
these mysterious blasts. In the course
Of some experiments 1t was found pos
sible to drive an automobile engine by
the use of finely powdered corn dust.

Dire Punishment for
Man "Mute of Malice"

@Mute of malice" Is legal term Of
considerable antiquity, and applies to
prisoners who on being arranged In
court refuse to plead. In recent
Dublin case, counsel said that to seek
q verdict of this kind nowadays was
only an "absurd formality."
But once 1t was not so. Then pen
atty was terribly severe. Here is an
instance as late as TAO. A highway
man, who pretended to be dumb and
refused to plead at Kilkenny assizes,
was tried as to whether he was mute
and lunatic by the hand of God or will
fully So" On being found mute OF
malice" he was sentenced to be
pressed to death, decree which was
carried out in the market place.
"As the weights were heaping on the
wretched man" (says an account) The
earnestly duplicated to be hanged,
but 1t being beyond the power of the
sheriff to deviate from the mode of
punishment prescribed In the sentence,
even this was an indulgence which
could be no longer granted to him.

Montana and the western portion of
Minnesota have the most severe win

northern New England and the noun
tain sections of northern New York
have weather conditions nearly ap-
preaching those in the sections first

tain districts have severe weather
over somewhat longer periods than
In the sections previously mentioned,
and heavier SHOWS may occur, but
usually the temperatures are not so
low during periods of intense cold as
occur in the lower levels Of the states

Alaskan Natives Erect
Buildings Over Graves

The natives of Alaska are much
given to superstitious beliefs, witch
craft and ghosts, and as rule they
are dreadfully afraid Of the ghosts
of the departed, so that the section
OF land given over to the DISPOSE
ton of the dead Is held in great rev.
erence. The dead one, with all his
personal effects, such as skins,
blanket and trinkets accumulated dur
ing life, is laid away and is gener-
ally safe from molestatiOn, although
occasionally some member Of the
tribe may become so depraved as to
remove some of the goods if he can
do so without detection. Frequently
a small house Is erected over this
accumulation, so that in the course
Of time the burial ground comes to
take on the appearance Of minia-
ture village. In some parts this has
taken the form of an annual cere-
mony and on a certain day Of the
autumn many persons may be seen
erecting these houses over the rest
Ing place of their departed relatives.
