In the development of rapid transit
along the lines at trolley cars and
automobiles, the problem of flying
dust has been immeasurably intensi
fled and confronts all lovers of clean-
liness. Ordinary broom sweeping
simply stirs it up to settle again on
floors and furniture. The vacuum
cleaner has not yet developed to the
point at which its constant use is
commercially expedient. An endless
procession of floor oils and sweeping
compounds has therefore come upon
the market, some of which are not
hazardous, but others of which are
already demonstrating their ability to

Pires in the United States, accord-
ing to some recent oracles, are caaaed
by over-insurance, beniine, and poor
business. When a building becomes
feverish from any of these causes, a
lighted match will raise its tempera-
ture to the point of combustion, which
need not be higher than 106 degrees.
Pires sometimes happen in tbe night
and then they are more of a nuisance
than a visit of a poor relation from
the country. Where is tbe American
citizen who has not been compelled.
at least once in a lifetime, to get up
in the middle of the night, dress him-
self in a plug bat and a bed-sheet, and
grope bis way blindly down tbe smefce
SUed stairs with his mother-in-law
clutched under ooe arm and the citv
directory in tbe other? When a Ore
occurs where a lot of people are em-
ployed and a hundred or more are
burned to death, a lot of new build-
ing laws have to be paased. and this
is not so easy as It looks, because
buildings hereabouts are only safe for
their occupants after they are burnt
down. The human barbecue, some
where among tbe ruins, are tbe conn
try's most useful martyrs—they give
their Uvea as evidence that more build-
ing laws are needed! Other coeatrte* , „ w

A duplicate of tbe shotgun which
Col. Theodore Roosevelt took with him
on his African trip, a gun constructed
exprenly for him by an American
armorer, is on display at the manufac-
turer's exhibit in tbe Manufactorer'a
Palace at the Panama-Pacific Interna-
tional Exposition, San Francisco. The
gun coat its illustrious owner S360,
end its beauUful design, graceful
lines and wonderful inlay work would
Justify the expenditure to any lover
of fine pieces. The stock is elabo-
rately band carved, the barrels and
lock are hand engraved, and the lock
is inlaid with a hunting scene in gold.
The barrels are of the finest Krupp
steel. Before suiting on the trip the
ex-president wranto the makerar "I
really think it l^pe most beautiful
gun I have ever seen. I am almost
aahamed to take it to Africa and sub-
ject it to the rough treatment it will
receive."
The left barrel is choked and tbe
right open. It is cored to shoot either
buckshot or a single ball.
In a group in this Palace are dis-
plays by four of the world's greatest
manufacturers of sporting arms, which
form an exhibit which attracts hun-
dreds of sportsmen. Each display is
in charge of a firearms expert.
Penrf Culture a New Industry.
Among the interesting exhibits ot
the Japanese in the Manufacturers'
Palace at the Panama-Paciflc Interna-
tional Exposition is a demonstration
of tbe methods and results of pearl
cultivation in tbe far East. Tbe dis-
plays of this cultivated product, show-
ing hundreds of pearls which until
pearl culture was plated on a com-
mercial basis a few yeara ago would
bare been tbe possessions of royalty,
will delight my iorer of beautiful
gems, and tlr- met nods of production
will prove interesting to aay ob-
server. Though pear, culture has be
come a thriving industry la Japan, at-
tempts to reproduce it in other parts
Mast Rapid Photaflraphe Ewer Taken.
The most remarkable set of speed
Pbotograpbs ever taken are a part of
the war department's exhibit In Ma-
chinery Hall at tbe Panama-Pacific In-
ternational Exposition. San Francisco.
They are pictures of a shell from a 12-
inch coast defense gun in flight, tbe
set including the various phases of
tbe flight beginning just as tbe great
projectile pokes Its nose out of the
muzzle of the gun.
The pictures were tnken with n
lens having an exposure period of
one five-thousandth of a second, this
being the fastest shutter ever manu-
factured. The exposure at the proper
time ia the flight of the projectile
was made by brnking an electric cir-
cuit in a wire stretched across the
trajectory at the desired point and
connecting with the shutter.
One picture shows the shell half-
way out of the muzzle before any
■moke and gas has escaped. Another
was taken when the shell was twa
feet from the muzzle hut bidden by a
heavy ring of smoke. A third shows
j the shell in flight a hundred feet from
the muzzle. The photographs are so
perfect and the exposure n rapid that
scarcely aay blur Is perceptible. They
were taken at Fortress Moaroe. Va-, un-
der tbe direction of Cape F. J.
