EXPLOSIONS CAUSED BY DUST Investigation Has Proved That Grain Is by No Means the Only De structive Agent. When tlio bureau of chemistry of the Unltoil Stntp depnrtmont of ngrl culture started Investigations with the object of reducing fires nnd explosions caused by dust In the grain elcvutors nnd mills It was not long before the experts renllzed these fires and explo sions were by no means confined to the grain business. These dust-cxplo-slon Investigations nro having n wide Influence, which has extended to many Industries. Aluminum dust, starch nnd even fish meal, a by-product of fish canneries, have all been found susceptible to the conditions which produce disastrous explosions. The latest development goes to ( prove that the mysterious -"blowi sncks" so well known to firemen nre In J some cases caused by dust. With the knowledgo of this fact as a guide mnny fatal nccldents may ho avoided. Hie firemen of America find the mat ter of sufllclont Importance to war rant their co-opcrntlon with the de partment of agriculture In n study of preventive methods. Tho subject was taken tip by the National Firemen's association at their twenty-second annual convention at Peorln, III. Engineers engaged in the dust-exploslon Investigations rep resented the department of agriculture nt the meeting. EYE HAS GREAT SENSITIVITY Wonderful Human Organ Capable of Adapting Itself to Any Possible Circumstances. On entering a dark room after a! stay In the outside dnyllght the eye Qt onco begins to Increase In sensi tivity. At first this Incrcnso appears to bo slow, but after five minutes the In crease Is quite rapid, tho cyo acquir ing a sensitivity several hundred times Its Initial value. After 30 min utes' sojourn In the dark tho sensitiv ity still Increases, but more slowly Uian before, nnd after 45 minutes or nn hour the maximum sensitivity la reached. Tho final sensitivity varies slightly with different people, but In fully ndnpted condition the eye Is eas ily 0,000 or 10,000 times more sensitive than It wns at the beginning. These, facts are obtained from n study of the sensitiveness of the eye in the dnrk mado by Sellg Ilecht of Crclghton university, Omnha, nnd pub lished In tho Journal of General Thyslology. Sir. Ilecht's study goes to show that the Incrensed sensitive ncss Is duo to n reversible photochem ical reaction within the retinn, Involv ing n photosensitive substance and Its two products of decomposition. No Time for Interruption. However deplorable the fact may be, playing two-handed pinochle at 25 cents n hand Is one of the fnvorlte diversions of commuters between this city, Now York, Atlantic City.

One uinn, who carries his pleasures ns well as his worries homo from work, was playing pi nochle In his library the other eve ning with a crony, when the butler entered and handed him a telegram. ITe returned It unopened. "I'll look nt It later." "Hut tho messenger Is waiting, sir." the butler respectfully remonstrated. The financier read (ho telegram. It snld: "Struck 8.000-lmrrel gusher to day. Everything line." "Confound you, Thomas, why did you spoil my game?" be cried. Ho didn't care nearly so much about tho fortune he bad made, as about tho 2." cents he was In danger of losing. I'hl'ndelph'tt Public Ledger. -::o:: Dr. II. C. Broclc. DontlBt.

T Two big programs will bo givon PATRON SAINT OF HATTERS Why St. Clement Has Long Been Ac corded Recognition by Makers of Head Coverings. St Clement Is known as the patron saint of hatters, because of his dis covery for the making of a compact fabric out of wool without pressure or weaving. The story goes Hint this devout priest, while on a Journey, be enmo footsore nnd tired, and, removing his sandals, sought rost by the roud side. St. Clement was soon disturbed by the blcntlng of Inmbs. Looking up, ho behold a fox that had Just seized ono of the helpless young sheep, ilo cleared n hedge Just In time to destroy the fox and roscuo the Iamb, In the process of which act he observed loose wool, which ho gnthcrcd and exam ined. The priest was struck by the sud den Inspiration thnt here was relief for his lacerated feet. Binding tho yielding wool on his wounds, ho was able to contlnuo his Journey. On renchlng his destination St. Clem ent roraoved the sandals from his feet, discovering Instend of tho fine soft wool a pleco of unfinished cloth, seemingly so Ann and thick that he couldn't pull It apart, lie called tho matted material "felt." This accidental knowledgo of tho priest caused the basic prlnclplo that underlies tho men's hat Industry. November 23 hns been named St. Clement's day and Is a red-letter day for the hat manufacturers of many countries. WAS THE FIRST CINDERELLA Egyptian Maiden Said- to Have Seen the Original of the Old and Popular Story. About 700 years B. C, there la said to liavo lived a maiden, who, though not called "Cinderella," was undoubt edly tho person represented In the popular fairy talc, says tho Montreal Ilcrnld. It was during tho rulings of ono of tho twelve Egyptian kings that tills beautiful eastern girl, Ithodopo by name, came under the notlco of the then known world. Hhodopo had re markably small feet. Ono day, whllo bathing In a river near her home, nn eaglo Is said to have swooped down nnd, plnylng tho part of the fairy god mother, snapped up ono of her sandals which was on the bank. Carrying tho little shoo off In his beak tho bird Is reported to have dropped It Imme diately In front of tho king, and, nnt urally, the little sandal soon uttracted royal attention. Struck by Its size so small, and tho daintiness, too, the king vowed ho would find out the charming possessor. Messengers were dispatch cd and tho country was scoured for 'the foot that the shoo would fit. At length Ithodopo wns discovered and tho shoe placed on her tiny foot. Af ter a triumphal conveyance to tho king's palace sho was inndo queen to her royal lover, "King Psammctlcus of Memphis." Speech Should Be Worth While. And when you have something to sny It's worth saying well. It's not Just that you say words. You must say thorn so they attract and convince. We nil use pretty much the snmo words but they sound so differently from tho mouths of different people. There nro books galore that are musty with unuso because what they sny Is poorly said. If tho thought had been matured Into small compnss nnd told In telling diction they should bo popu lar works. And it's tho some with speech. Some men have good Ideas, but they take so long to tell them .that people get tired. Sometimes they even get weary before tho mnn begins tc spenk. The world wants what you know, but It Isn't willing to wnsto time listening to mere words. girls of charm, and talont, dressod in and mako good. fJIrla rtr-l,0t, ,!. i UHflff 13 UOnC, TUey Will mOKO thO big by this versatilo company on tho sec EPWORTH ASSEMBLY But Two Larger Gatherings of Its Kind in the United States !
