Bee folios neatly hound by Morchouse & Co. , Council Bluffs. The laundries use Domestic soap. J'ullliifi 'Ilium InCri I.Inc. General James B. Weaver made one of his flying trips to Council Bluffs last week and wns closeted for a whole evening with n number of the party leaders. He had learned of the determination that existed among some at the local populist leaders to put up a county ticket this fall. Instead of fusing with the democrats , as had bcpn the first Inten tion , and the main object of his visit was to nip the scheme In the bud If possible. It Is related by one ot those present , who for ob vious reasons does not care to have his name mentioned , that the general raked certain individuals over the coals pretty warmly and gave strict Instructions that hereafter the populists In the Ninth congressional dltsrlct should pay no attention ta anything except to secure Ills election ; that would be .all they lud any time for. As dictator for his party he gave It out cold that ony one who advo cated the idea of putting up a county ticket would bo considered a traitor to the populist party. The talk In which ho indulged caused a sensation among those who heard It and had two sorts of effects. Those who believed In all around fusion before were strengthened In the belief , while those -who wanted to pul up populists to be voted for at the count } election had their wrath raised by Lelnp yanked lip nnd lectured like a lot of school boys who had been caught clmblng over th ! fence nt recess to steal green apples. Atnoni populists ot this lattr stripe It Is the genera opinion that Weaver did not help his case an ) by his talk , nnd the democrats who bellevi In btamllng up for democratic principles an still standing around waiting for a chanci to stick a pin Into his congressional boom 01 the sly. > o Jiiuiborer.

Their meteoric Ufa or rather death , In Its various fiery phases Is more or less familiar to all , but few arc the facts popularly known as to the trade that yearly produces millions cf dollars' worth of scintillant beauty truly as mys terious an art as the alchemist's ot old Many thousands congregate each night of the performance at Courtland beach to see the gorgeous pageantry , splendid acrobatic specialties and other features Incident to the . "Last Days of Pompeii , " hut II Is not pre suming to Bay tlie greatest interest centers In the fireworks display that terminates each performance , and surely Interest will not I be decreased by an explanation of the causes producing such effects the blowing away , as It were , ot the dense smoke , that so mysti fies the fiery art Back of the huge sceneries and buildings at the Pompeiian park are several workshops , j where a large fore ; of .Messrs , Pain's ex- j perlenced men are daily engaged In prepar ing fireworks designs for the forthcoming ex hibitions. Not all the fireworks arc made here , as many come direct from the Lone Island factory , but what the workshops did not reveal -was made up by a trip through the big Iron-sheathed magazine , where ths factory products are stored , Probably the most eccentric ot all fireworks Is the "water devil. " Each plec consists of two distinct parts , the propelling power , which Is represented by the cylinder , which Is tha fool. , and the effect , which Is the head. Theite two parts are set at an angle to each other so as to propel tlio piece In a zlpng path , The propelling fore ? Is the same in prlnclp'c ' to that which propels skyward the rockets. Skyrockets are among the most generally known of fireworks devices. There is a vast difference In the size of these , the smallest used at "Pompeii" being at one ounce size , while the largest Is six pounds. Tills large size requires a stick six leet long and one Inch square to gnido it In Its night. In or dinary rockets the stars are Independent ot each other , nnd when the paper cylinder bursts during the downward flight they fly In every direction. In the hanging chain and festoon rockets the stars are attached tea a string , but in such a way as to be burned before the stars have become extinguished. The parachutes to these rockelH are some times mede of silk , but usually ot Japanese paper designed especially for the purpose. When the rocket explodes the chain , vililcli has besn caretu ly rolled up BO a not to be come untangled , unrolls , and by Its fall automatically opens the parachute , causing the stars to float In midair. Bombs or shells are probably the most popular and at the same time most expen sive fireworks used , A description of the way bombs are manufactured was given In The Bee a few days ago. The tourbllllon or "table rocket" Is another Interesting plecj. It hisses like a rocket and sends out a shower of stars which assume the form of an umbrella. In the large size the stars nil an area from twenty to thirty feet In diameter , producing an exquisite anfi novel effect. No great display ot fireworks Is complete without Its set piece , or as U Is technically termed , "lance work. " Portraits , mottr/ts / , pictures ot buildings , In fact , almost sny- thliiK that can be drawn on paper can bo produced In tills way with surprisingly vivid effect , even to every desired color , An amount of prellincnary work Is required nlilch seems out of proportion to the time that the picture actually lasts , but the Impression left in tlio mind Is Ubtlng. The picture to be repro duced Is sketched by an artist on paper laid off In iquareu corresponding wltli bqimrea on the frame work upon which the lance work Is to be done. In the case of the designs given at "Pom- pell" the frame work Is usually 2G feet high and 20 feet wide , comprised of ten blocks , each 10 feet long and 5 feet wide , laid oft Into squares 1 foot each way. The artist , with a piece of chalk fattened to the end of a long stick , sketches the outline of the picture on the trame work and ilage corresponding spending to the sketch In his hand. Assist ants follow behind him nailing strips of rattan or bamboo over the chalk lines. The ten individual frames are then awed apart whsrc these strips Joined them logelher. A boy follows the stcnnd man und puts wlrti nails at Intervals ot tour or five Inches In all the bamboo and rattan tracing. Then another goes ovtr the Job with pinchers , clipping the hiad of each nail. Another nun follown with " 'ances" of various colors and places one on each nail , pine and the nail holding It In place. When the lances are all Bel and Klued in pl CJ a quick match la pinned over the upper onJ of each lance , connecting them all togethir at shown in figures. Thli pin penetrates a priming on ths head of each "lance , " which Ignites the instant the flro Is present. After all the lances ore in position nnd the fuse applied , the whole design is elevated Into Its position each frame being securely tied Into place , and fuses of each carefully connected with adjoining ones. When the design is to be presented the plc- ti'ro Is touched oft at two different points , giving an effect of every lance , being lighted at the same Instant. How nearly tills is EO can be judged from the fact that were a man to take one hundred feet of quick match used for this purpose , hold both ends In his hands and light one end , the fire would reach the other end before he could drop It. Gunpowder enters largely Into the manu facture of fireworks to serve for Ignition , but not for color effect. Several grades nnd qualities are used. One kind , called "meal" | io der , being manufactured especially for the purpose. In the manufacture of fireworks extra hazardous compounds nre avoided as much as possible , for nt the best the risk Is great. Many are the components used to produce the- varied results. Saltpetre , sulphur , I'arls green , Bodag.-cliarcoal , sawdust , cotton , mag nesium , stroncha , steel and Iron filings nnd other chemicals are used to produce the more common effects , while some of the colors and tints arc produced by compositions known only to the head of the great fireworks firm. jsv/xa IAKR sui'iniuii. Murk Harrington Make * JnterestliiR ( llisrr- \utliMiH for IIU VVeatlier Maps. WASHINGTON , Aug. 27. Mark Harring ton , chief of the weather bureau , recently re turned from a trip along the northwest shore of Lake Superior undertaken with the pur pose of the survey In order to complete the weather bureau maps showing the currents ot tlio great lakes. The professor was ac companied by-Mr. N B , Comber , the Inspec tor of the lake marine , work. The trip was made In a sail boat with a crew of three men In which the professor approached the shore ot Lake Superior and the Isle Hoyal. Owing to the character of the northwest coast of Lake Superior and the shares of tlio Isle Royal , which arc very rocky and steep , showing tlio occurrence of a very heavy surf , It Is Impossible for the current bottles used in tlie determination of the lake currents to be landed without breakage. In fact only one current boUle has been re turned from these shores and that in a deep Inlet on Isle Royal which the seas did not reach. Owing to the absence of Information to bo obtained In the usual way , Prof. Harrington was forced to rely on other methods such as the Indications of dry wood , the drift wreckage - age and the accounts of fishermen ; also direct observations ut the drift of floating objects , the distribution ot surface tempera tures , etc. Prof. Harrington reports to the secretary that from the Information ne has obtained he has made U possible to finally complete the scheme of surface currents for Lake Superior as shown on the map which ac companies the report. Many temperature observations were taUen durlng-the trip , ob servations which showed some Interesting tacts. It was found , for Instance , that the temperature of the ivater In Lake Superior Is very low nnd especially In the open lake , falling j-ometlmes In July % nd August to below 40 degrees. bottlemmil uf rinlnml I turned < lul.
