' THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 1891. WK 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 aiN lights, 47.719 incandescent!. with en gine capacity of 16.707 horse power. ~ New YerlrPusL And ym, although the past la put.

And If you vaguely note the change And wonder at it, oh, remember How often under as bee gray Still glows the unextingubhed ember! -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 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. —Tillamook (Ore.) Headlight. 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.
