N.wYork Chicago ianrrancuco, him Expert Says Gasoline and Benzine Vapor is an Invisible and Pow refill Death Agent. A large number of lives were lost by the explosion of a 250-barrel tank car of gasoline near the Santa Fe freight offices in Ardmore, Okla. Ac cusing in the afternoon of Septembei 27, the explosion shook down many buildings and threw burning gasoline in every direction. By 6:30 p. m. the fires were under control. The prop erty damage is estimated at $500,000. It was necessary to place the city un der martial law, owing to the excite ment caused. A spark from a hammer is said to have caused the explosion, as two workmen were repairing the leaking tank car. Both were killed "It is safer to handle dynamite than it is to keep gasoline or benzine in a dwellinghouse or factory," said C. Al bert Gasser, chief of the Bureau of Combustibles of Newark, N. J., in Safe ty Engineering for August. These in flammable fluids are equally danger ous, wherever handled or stored, un less handled properly. "The vapor of benzine and gasoline is not visible ordinarily, and herein lies the danger," Captain Gasser added: "If it were a cloud of dust you could see it and get out of the way; but it is a part of the very atmosphere and you cannot see it. Depend upon it, however, the va por is all about you, a danger which threatens death, although an invisible agent." Charles E. Worthington, of Boston, discussing the dangers of gasoline, in Safety Engineering for September, ob served: "It is in the 'migrating' qual ity that the greatest hazard of gaso line or naphtha lies. Most explosives require fire to be brought to them, but naphtha searches out the fire. It will run in a stream along the ground, fol low down a stairway, seek out a crack in a floor at a considerable distance, and finding the fire flash it back until it reaches the point where the mixture of air and vapor is explosive (that point always exists somewhere) and ignite the vapor upon the surface (the equivalent of igniting the material) Instances are vry numerous of this occurring at distances exceding 50 feet, in many cases approximiating 300 feet, and as concerns those under 50 feet, almost innumerable." Owing to the characteristic of gaso line vapor just mentioned, it may be that the Ardmore explosion was caus ed by the striking of a match, or by a flame from some other cause, some distance from the tank car. The prin cipal comment at the moment is that gasoline is as dangerous as dynamite under certain conditions. Minn. Bu'. letin. The sixth and last of the Lyceum attractions will be at the Hub theatre Tuesday March 7, and the board for reserved seats will be open at Lutz's drug store Monday morning at 9 o'clock. With the delightful entertainment of the WeatherwlJX Brothers still m mind, readers will welcome this com ing attraction, with regret only that it is the last of these splendid num bers that the lyceum committee has provided for the entertainment of the people. AVhen the WeatheiKvax Brothers vere told that Schildkret's Hunga rian Orchestra was to follow them as the last of the numbers they said "the best is yet to come." Schildkret's Hungarian Orchestra, Samuel Schildkret, director, is one of he best known organization of its kind in America. Mr.Schildkret has ippeared widely on both the Chau auquas and Lyceum course for more than 9 years yast, everywhere greeted with a degree of enthus.asm seldom tendered a musical organi zation. . The Schildkret Hungarian Orches tra is probably more widely known today than any other Hungarian ur hestra in this country. As a di rector, Samuel Schildkret can get as much music out ot six men as many iirectors will get from an orchestra ; of ten. . , Mr. Schildkret and his orchestra 'rst became knowi during the Vorld's Fair, Chicago. The members lad then just recently come to this ountry from their native land and Lheir work was attracting consider- ; able attention when, through Mrs. ; hotter Palmer, chairman of the vo i man's committee of the world's fair, j .hey Were engaged for the Columbian ; jxposition. Mr. Schildkret and his : men have not only played at the home of Mrs. Potter Palmer but al : so at the homes of Mrs. Marshall J Field, Mrs. Harold McCormick, and other widely known social leaders. While in Washington, Mr. Schil. ! dkret played at the Washington Park Club at an event attended by Miss Alice Roosevelt. Later on he was invited to play at the Roosevelt Longworth wedding, but was unable j to go on account of other engagements.

Explosives are solids which, under certain conditions, suddenly change into heated gas occupying many times the original space of the solids. Ordi nary gunpowder., when fited, turns into gas, of which the volune is 4,000 times as great as that of thil powder. No wonder the bullet in 5&nt of it leaves the muzzle of the rifle in a hurry. fi'f Today there are ores, even hun dreds, of different llferts of explosives known to science. Some, such as lyd dite, require a very"considerable shock to exDlode them. Otherjsuch as ni troglycerin, are fearfullydangerous to handle, for a tew extra degrees of warmth or a very slight jar is suf ficient to turn them instantly into gas. Of the latter type there is nothing quite so unstable as iodide of nitro gen. It has to be made in alcohol. WThen allowed to dry it appears as a brown powder, and so unstable is this powder that a tourn with a leather will set it off. The experiment has been tried of leaving a tew grains upon a table mixed witn a lew grains of sugar. The first bluebottle that flew on the table and began to crawl among the grains caused an explosion. The mere jarring of the air by a loud shout or a heavy footstep is suf ficient to detonate iodide of nitrofe-n, and it need hardly be added that no one in his senses would attempt to make this terrible stuff. To do so in any quantity would be equivalent to committing suicide. .Nitroglycerin is not so dangerous as fcnis iodide, but ata temperature of nnlv 100 flpfrpfia t.haMs. verv .

M. HARDIN SOLE 1348 Union Square AGENT HICKORY, N. C. Concerning the Dolomites. The fairyland about Cortina is fa miliar to thousands of English tour ists as "The Dolomites." Dolomite, a rock compounded of carbonate of lime and carbonate of magnesia, takes its name from the French geologist "Deo dat de Gratet, Marquis de Dolomeiu," who epent his time in 1789 and the following year, while his countrymen were busy with revolution and war, in visiting this and other Alpine dis tricts. He first mentions this kind of rock in 1791, and the word "Dolomite" first occurs in a pamphlet of 1802 de scribing a tour of his in the Alps about the St. Gothard and the Simplon. The curious point, noted by Mr. Coolidge, is that the marquis seems to have paid no attention to the dolomite rocks in the neighborhood of his own home, Dolomeiu, near Grenoble. London Chronicle.

Ice for architectural purposes is used with wonderful results in north ern countries. Probably the most remarkable building constructed wholly of ice was the palace built on the Neva by the Czarina Anne of Rus sia. Large blocks of ice were cut and squared with great care and laid on one another by skillful masons, who cemented the jointo with water, which immediately froze. The build ing, when completed, was 66 feet long, 17 fest broad and 21 feet high. It was of but one story. The facade contained a door surmounted by an ornamental pediment, and six win dows, the frames and panes of which were all of ice. An elaborate balus trade adorned with statues ran along the top of the facade, and another bal ustrade surrounded the building at the level of the ground. The ground was further adorned with a life-size figure of an elephant, with his mahout on his back. A stream of water was thrown from the elephant's trunk by day and a flame of naphtha by night. A tent of ice contained a hot bath, in which persons actually bathed. There were also several cannons and mortars of ice, which were loaded Send for sample payable to Hickory copies. Record.
