Not Picket Employers’ \\ (irk«. •‘COLORED COLORS.” How Mineral Hue« Are Enlivened by the Addition of Coal Tar Colora. The denomination of “colored col ors” may sound paradoxical, but as a matter of fret mineral colors are fre quentfy met with of late whose dill and little productive character is ren dered more I;try and richer by an u<K dition of coal-tar colors. In general, no objection 1 an be mude to such a pro cedure. says he Male- Zeitung. if colors sufficiently fest to light arc chosen, is "< !l possible nowadays. But very often this is not done. Thus the eosines used for carminette are very fugitive; likewise coloring with fuehsinennd an iline blue fader in the light. If one wants to employ artificial organic col oring matters for fining, faster ones should lie employed According to M. Bottler, the rather fast rhodamines, next methylene blue and meldola blue, which are very fast, deserve a prefer ence. Against the use of ponceau, coecines and scarlets, which for the most part are not inferior as regards fastness to the cochineals, whose place they have tbken. less objection can lie raised. Since it has been established by the above-mentioned observations that for coloring varieties of carmi nette. velvet ted. purple, cinnabar red (vermilion) and chrome red such arti ficial organic coloring matters are also employed as are liable to fade quickly, this fact should he given sufficient at tention in practice. Carminette is fre quently used, prepared with turpen tine and English varnish, as a carriage color; likewise vermilion and chrome red. A BRAVE INVENTOR. StrikiiiK Characteristic« of the Re markable Man Who Invented Dynamite. Alfred Nobel, the remarkable man. who invented dynamite, is thus de scribed by Henry De Mosenthal in the Ninteenth century. “Physically weak, of a nervous, high ly strung and exceptionally sensitive disposition, he was endowed with a strong- will, unbounded energy and wonderful perseverance; he feared no danger, and never yielded to adversity. Many would have succumbed under similar circumstances, but the succes sion of almost insurmountable difficul ties, the explosion of his factory caus ing a general scare and dread of the deadly compound he was making, the loss of his youngest brother, to whom Ire was devotedly attached; the conse quent paralysis of his old father, and his mother’s grief and anxiety could not deter him from pursuing his aim. “The coexistence of impulsive daring and sensitive timidity was a striking feature in his character. He frequent ly demonstrated the value and safety of his explosives with his own hands, although he was particularly suscepti ble to headaches caused by bringing nitrogylcerin into contact with the •kin. They affected him so violently that he was often obliged to lie down on the ground in the mine or quarry in which he was experimenting. On one occasion when some dynamite could not be removed from a large cask he crept into it and dug the explosive out with a knife.” NEW METHOD OF POACHING. It has long been the custom of the trades unions in this country and England, whenever a strike was de clared upon a certain piece or place of work, to send out pickets to warn workmen against accepting employ- ment there. A judiciai decision affect- ing this right lias just been made in England, anil the same rule of law may be made to apply in this conn- ! try. as the common law, which is es* I sent ¡ally the same in both countries, I may be held to apply, says the Chica- J go Chronicle. Before the case in question—Lyons vs. Williams—was decided it was gen erally understood that what was vailed peaceful picketing was legal. 1 hat is to say. that when a dispute was in progress between employers and workmen it was permissible for the latter to beset in groups the en trances of the works of the employ ers and endeavor to induce by’ argu ment and persuasion any’ newcomers to refrain from entering. This course was pursued in the case under con sideration. The plaintiffs applied for an interlocutory injunction, which "as granted by Justice North and confirmed by the qourt of appeal. They then applied for a perpetual in junction. which "as granted by Jus tice Byrne and confirmed by the court of appeal. The defendants then took ihe preliminary steps for an appeal to the house of lords. That appeal has now been withdrawn. The English law, therefore, now is that strikers may not watch or beset the estab lishment of an employer with the ob- ject of dissuading other workingmen from entering his works, but may do so only for the purpose of communi cating or obtaining information. The ruling of the court of appeal was a very great disappointment to the Mailers of the unions, and their final decision not to appeal against it is regarded as an acknowledgment of the hopelessness of their case and as a most significant victory for the em ployers. In England, where the game and fish laws are much more strictly observed than in this country, the “poacher” on forbidden waters, who is too anxious to escape discovery to spend the time nec essary to catching fish with a rod and line, will diep a dynamite cartridge into a river hole and after exploding it will scoop up a bagful of fish, which have floated to the surface from the concussion. An Italian officer. Maj. Michelini.* who has been investigating the qualities of bullet and rifles, has discovered that fish can bo killed more easily than iven by the dynamite car tridge. The Italian rifle, which is but .256 inch in diameter, proved very de ficient in stopping power at the battle of Adowa. Nevertheless at short ranges the very high velocity of the bullet gives rise to a powerful explosive ef fect. Maj. Michelini one day fired one of these guns into the water at an angle of about 45 degrees. A dead fish al most immediately rose to the surface. On examination tio wound was'discov- erable in the body, the death being due entirely to the hydraulic shock arising from the impact of the bullet with the water. This view was amply confirmed by further experiments, and many fish were killed by the blow of the bullel on the water exactly as if by an explo sion of a dynamite shell. The effects of the hydraulic shocks seemed to be sufficient to kill all fish within two feet to two feet six inches of the point of the impact. Sensible Government. The government of Belgium ha? is- rued an order that every newspaper in the country is entitled to free use of every railroad. The business of news gathering the government regards a« of great importance to the develop ment of the nation. The governments following this sensible and up-to-date view will find a free press of even more use than a standing army. London’s Population. Pay for Their Cofflan. London has a population of 4.250,- 000, equaling the combined popula tions of Paris, Berlin, St. Petersburg and Rome. It appears that when Tommy Atkins arrives n India he has one rupee per month stopped out of his pay until 15 rupees have been collected for a coffin. This ¡5 rupees is invested in the regi mental soda-water machine, and should he «lie the machine provides him with a coffin and buries him decently; but. should he survive, when he leaves In dia he receives back his 15 rupees and his «hare of the profits9f soda water.— N.
