Terrible Fata of a Chicago Laborer Who
xrell Into a Pit of Slack Lime.
, Wtrick Kane, shod carrier, fell into a
{L'. of flack limo he was preparing at the
yard of Robert Borland, plasterer, and
died a time ago. Ho was a stalwart
Iriihm«fM yean old, and possessed
record ornnbroken good health, but on
the day the accident occurred be com
plained of a sick headache. At the
close of the day's work bis employer
asked him tb prepare some lime for the
next day’s work.
Kan® at fint declined on the plea that
he wbb ill, bnt was finally persuaded to
resume work. None of the laborers
were shoot the yard when Sane began
working the lime, and bis employer went
back to the office to calculate estimates
on some jobs in hand. About 7 o'clock
Kane, who felt weary and tired, leaned
heavily on the mixer with which he was
stirring Dp the lime. The plank on
which be stood bad been thrown care
lessly across the comer of the box His
weight-tamed it over, and before he
conld regain his balance or otter a cry
for help he fell foil length into the boil
ing, babbling lime.
He esnk down, no^mrt of his body es
caping contact with the burning liquid
except liis left arm and the upper port of
Ilia face. Kane was a strong man, and
though half blinded by the specks of
lime that dashed np from the box, and
suffering horribly from the mouthful of
fiery Uqnid he had swallowed in hia
fatal plunge, he crawled slowly out.
staggered a few paces and then fell pros
trate on the sand heap, where he waa
found a few rainntes later by his em
ployer.
From his shoulder downward the lime
had eaten into his clothing and was slow
ly making its way through the flesh of
the unconscious man. The soles of his
boots had dropped off, and his trousers,
from the knee down, hung in shreds
from his slowly consuming limbs. The
skin on the upper part of his right arm.
which was bared to the shoulder, had
been burned away, and the muscles and
tendons had succumbed to the destroyer.
The nails of the fingers had dropped
off almost immediately after coming into
contact with the lime, and the hand was
tightly clinched, as if to conquer the
maddening pain. The liquid crept slow
ly bnt relentlessly through his shirt, eat
ing its destructive way and frightfully
scorching his chest and back. The man
was a mass of burning flesh and lime,
and when Borland, his employer, found
him on the sand heap the fatal lime had
effectually done its deadly work.
Borland rushed for the hose pipe, and
attempted to cheek the progress of de
struction by deluging Sane with cold
water. Then, despairing of the man's
life, be carried him to bis buggy, with
the Ume eaten clothing still clinging to
bis body, and drove the injured man
home. For a week Sane hovered be
tween life and death.
None of the sufferers seen by Dante
during bis jonrnny through the Inferno
could ever have endured the awful agony
experienced by the dying hod carrier aa
the Ume fairly scorched its way through
his longs. The sears on hia body and
limbs were hideous enough, bnt all
chance of recovery was destroyed by the
awful fire raging within.
Sane bore bis sufferings with the
fortitude of a stoic. No word of com
plaint ever crossed hia Ups, and be (bow
ed no sign of the great agony he felt
except to lay bis uninjured band on his
bosom and murmur, "My heart is burn
ing away." The fiery flnid released him
after a week's suffering, and Sane passed
away unconscious of the approach of
death.—Chicago Herald.
Else trie Light Figures.
NeW York state has 183 electric light
stations, with 23.681 are lights, 252,649
incandescent!, engines of 88,783
hone power, with • capitalisation of
823,247,000. The nearest approach to
New York state Is made by Pennsyl
vania and California as to amount of in
vestment, although Pennsylvania in
other respects la tally equaled by Ma
chnsetts. Enormous aa are these figures,
it is not to be forgotten that they fall
,short of the actuality aa regards the
electric lighting industry cf the whole
country.
There are probably from 75.000 to 100,-
000 arc lights in isolated plants in mills,
factories, pnbtic buildings, etc., and
probably over a mUUon and a half to
two mUlion incandescent®. Of these iso
lated plants there are about 4,000. Out
side of the Halted States there are in the
whole of North America, not forgetting
Mexico. 114 central stations, with a capi
tal stock of 83.500,000, .operating 9,771

-JUry L. Bitter.
A Philadelphia Hero.
A man came to the conclusion that it
ran an act of moral cowardice to tip a
.vaiter in a restaurant. The cowardice
ay, he argued, in being afraid of the
Tatter's scorn at the apparent parsi-
nony. He determined to be morally
wave thereafter. The opportunity came.
3e finished his dessert and the waiter,
n the customary manner of solicitude
issuined by waiters when the customer
.ooks good for an ample tip, placed his
.-offee before him. He weakened a trifle,
but resolved to brace himself. He drank
his coffee somewhat more deliberately
that, usual, hoping to attain a state of
mental composure, bnt as the time ap^
proached for disappointing the attentive
negro, who already saw in his mind’s
eye a big round shining coin, the brave
man grew less eqnal to the deed he had
resolved to commit.
He handed the waiter a greenback in
payment of his bill and dallied with the
finger bowl while the waiter went to get
the change. The change came back on
the silver plate, two quarter pieces ly
ing, as usual, a bit aloof from the rest
of the change. The man's eye sought
that of the waiter as he tremblingly
reached for the change, and he beheld
on the negro's face an expression of ex
pectancy almost realized. With a diffi
cult simulation of calmness he succeeded
in grasping all the change, including the
two qnarter pieces. Daring not to look
at the waiter's countenance, he hastened
from the room looking as if he had com
mitted a crime. “I felt so, too," he said,
as he related the incident afterward,
“and I won’t subject myself to that feel
ing again for any consideration. I conld
feel that waiter’s glance of contempt
upon my back.”
A woman finds it quite easy to be mor
ally brave under such circumstances.
Why is it so?—Philadelphia Press.
Steel dewelry.
Steel trinkets are likely to be the rage
next winter. An artificer of steel jewel
ry named Le Long baa made a hit with
coronets, brooches, necklaces and gar
lands of steel beads mixed with artificial
pearls. The false pearls are to the steel
what cream is to overdrawn tea. They
soften it and are not pretentions. Via
tors to the Exhibition of Industrial Art
at the Palais de lTndustrio can see these
elegant brooches in. steel and sham
pearls at prices varying from lOf to *0t
There is a garland of wild roses price!
at l,500f. it is meant to be worn at a.
fancy boll by a lady personating an iron
queen.—London Troth.

A simple attachment ia now used in
connection with an ordinary alarm clock
which will light a cooking stars or boil
a kettle at any time it to set to. A kettle
of water can thus be placed on the star*
before going to bed and made to boil just
berore the #!«per to awakened by the
ringing of the alarm.—New York Com
mercial Advertiser.
A Mlaa of Beeswax.
No one has ever been able to give an
authentic account of how snch enor
mous quantities of beeswax came to be
deposited on the beach near Nehalem.
Specimens are found along the beach in
various places, bnt it to most plentifnl
near the month of Nehalem. As the sea
shifts the bore pieces of it are washed
ashore, and large quantities are found
by plowing in soma of the low land near
the beach. There are spots where the
see has never reached in the memory of
the oldest settlers, and which are cover
ed with a good sized growth of spruce,
where deposits of the wax may be found
by digging.
Specimens of the wax may be found
at tile boose of any settler on the beach,
and to all appearances it to genuine bees-
Several tons hare been unearthed,
and one man shipped a Urge amount to
San Francisco once, for which he re
ceived 8300. In quality it to as good aa
any in the markfet. and baa retained its
familiar odor through all its rongh usage
and age. It is supposed by some and so
stated that it came from the wreck of a
Spanish vessel over a century ago.
Others ray it came from a wrecked Chi
nese junk. These traditions in regard
to the wrecks come from the Indiana
and are not reliable. It to possible this
beeswax to really "lost treasure” which
people are digging for on the Nehalem.

Pat Your Hoad Into Hot Motel.
It is'more or less true that the naked
hand may be plunged with impunity
into molten metal. M. Bouligny, who
made a special stady of what he called
the “spheroidal” state of bodies, proved
on his own person that it is possible to
plunge the hand into molten metal and
yet sustain no injory. The theory to
this: The hand of the operator having
been carefully moistens 1 wish a very
voUtile liquid, such os alcohol or ether,
to to be plunged rapidly into the molten
metal; for some cases the natural hu
midity of the skin may do as well. The
moisture to thrown by its sudden con
tact with the metal into the spheroidal
state, and there to therefore no actual
contact between the hand and the metal,
but a thin layer of vapor to interposed
between them.—Chatter.
