Noise and Flame Did you over stop to consider what a blessing will be bestoed On human ity whon the present movement for safe and saue. Fourth of July fchrystal izes public sentiment id to abolishing the present enfttdtu of noise and flame, with its sacrlflcbof hutnun life hud its' useless loss of rtfdpert "bjr'flrc. " ri There is much'tb'bo'domrtoellmiriatol the belief th4t "only'by sonie'barbar-j ibus 'diSplay offlrc rind smoko, to ear .nothing of the rierve'raekiug noise'' of me jja-ic yearn, can wu snow our patriot ism. JDhe experience of the cities that ,ha veined fesfton iu the mutter of us- king rcd;llrc-rid powder has proved so pleaWiiig tlifit there is little likelihood' of.tuelr ever going back to the old way of- allowing every small boy to menace the lives and property of others, just to demonstrate that ho is true amorican. , Looking at tho matter from tho standpoint of the lire underwriters, it seems tho height of follcy to pass laws and ordinances rogulating the storage of every kind of combustablcs and prescribing the amount of powder or gasoline a dealer may keep, yet per mit any one to shoot firecrackers, can non, Homau Candles, etc., at will. Last year the lire loss so far as tho records on the subject show, churgablo to Fourth of July celebrations amount ed to $1,140,035:00. Wo mean that in tho amount reported up to tho second morning af tor the Fourth. It Is safe to say that ut least a hulf million nioro was not roportod. When we take into consideration the number of lives lost and the in juries resulting from the barbariouB and murderous features of the Fourth, it is no wonder that there is a huo and a cry that it is tirno to make a change. A careful record of tho killed and In jured for tho past ten years will open nlmost any one's eyes. They include only tho accidents reported up to tho same hour of tho morning of the second day aftor the fourth. From 1900 to 1000 tho total dead is 537; from 1000 to lOOOHhe total injured is IJO.r.lO. When wc take note of tho tremend ous enthusiasm this National holiday seoms to arouse, It sooms odd, that people do nottlcnow moro about fire works and such things. It Is safo to Bay that outsldo of tho moio namo flro orackers, rockets, Roman candlos, pin wheels, otc., tho average poisons Idea of what they aro handling Is us , crude as a grnmmor-school boy's con ception algebra.

Wo do not manufacture our llro crack ers. Through all her wais and trou bles China has maintained her mono poly on tliisiudustry. When you light a bunch of crackers bear In mind that thoy have traveled many thousands of miles. We make nearly every thing oIbc but not this lino of goods. Tho chemical ingrcdlimts of tiro works are almost unknown to all but tho makers. Chlorate of potush, on of the highest explosives known, to 9 denco, has taken the place of gun P lwder and as this substance will ex2 piodo through light friction, it is more ddltigerous than dynamite. The larg est cannon crackers contain two-thirds ounce of chlorate, one third ounce of sulphur, t,nd a small amount of chnr OQil.,,Last Fourth of July one of thj-'se "murderers" exploded while Ubdena man's arm, killing him almost Instantly and driving his watch from hU vest pocket Into n telegraph polo to the depth of one inch. Toy balloons look innocent enough, blit they aro dangerous, not to the ouo who sends them up, perhaps, but tho torch of shavings and rosin which generates the gas that inllates them blazes from nine to twenty minutes. Tho paper balloons very often take fire iu mid-air and tho lighted torch may fall and ignite a shingle roof or pile of rubbish. Last summer Louis ville, Ky,, and JeffersouvHle, hid., had several fires from this origin, tho balloons having boon sent up from Louisville. Tho small torpedo contains wafor of chlorate of potash, and gravel, while the largest variety contains chlorate phosphorus, and chloride of autimoney. Ouo manufacturer is us ing fnlmi nate of inurenry, wJi Ich makes the explosive power almost an great aadyaamlte. These noise makers have ben,reaponHlble for many dcathsund accidents, and have .also turned valu-. able properties into ban-fires,, cawBed ;roo)jrlby being, exploded, ,on..:opeji collar gratings,, thq paper wrappings faliinif in a burning condition orub-. blab aud packing material in the buVe BJnt. A now kind of tire works, known n A "nan of-a-gun" has recently made' its appearance, and it would Kectn as though it tried to live up to its name on uU occasions. It is made of pieces of chlorate of potasht tied together with a fuse, aud makes about twenty explosions when stepped upon. It is particularly apt to ignite the dress of any lady who may happen to tread upon tho abominable thing. As it is usually exploded on tho sido walk, there Is great liability of pieces fall ing into uir ways or through cellar windows, and setting tiro to tho rub bish usually found in such places. The prettiest Tiro works aro tho least dangerous. Mines, fountains, flower pots, aud sparklers are very beautiful, and few pooploor buildings are burned by them. Beware ot tho whistling fire works, as these eontaln picrato of potash and will oxplodo by slight frict ion. A wisely drafted and well enforced qjtv ordinance, backed by uu unmis takable public sentiment, will prevent much of tho rowdyism, masquerading as patriotism which iu other years has mount den' h, injury and property loss. Tho wisdom of prohibiting tho sale of high explosives and noise making con trivances has beon demonstrated to nuipy people who had como to regard tho Fourth of July as a painful period oi heathenish uproar and who aro gratoful for tho rolief they found in a "dqbrutallzed" celebration. With the barbarities dominated frqtn the celebration there is an oppor tunity to mum up u sentiment for n proper observance of the greatest pa triotic day of tho yoar. An observance which will bo sane, safe and fitting, in hooping with tho roal and high signi ficance of July Fourth. IIUKTllUKN UIIUIICII.
