_.... KILLED IN HIS orrms.
Unexplained Accident to the President of
a Chemical Cmnpany.
NEW YORK, Oct. Sui—There was an ex-
plosion in the Arlington Chemical works
at 68 Palisade avenue, Yonkers, today
which killed Hamilton J. Andrus, the
president of the company. The building
is occupied by the chemical works, the
New York Pharmaceutical association and
the Palisade Manufacturing company.
Mr. Andrus arrived from his home at
68 Hawthorne avenue about 8 o’clock and
immediately went into the office. His son
accompanied him to t e works, also being"
employed there, but soon afterward left
his father. About 15 minutes later the
employees were startled by aloud report
coming from the office. The son was one
of the first to rush to the office. He found
his father’s body on the floor. It had been
almost decapitated and was dreadfully
mangled. The ofiice was full of smoke as
from powder or dynrmite, the furniture
in the office was shattered, and all the
windows in the buildings were broken.
The police were immediately notified,
and Captain Mangin and a detail of offi-
cers went to the scene of the explosion
from headquarters. Coroner Miles was
also summoned, and together they began
an investigation. They were unable, how-
ever, to discover the cause of the explo-
sion. The chemical company did not use
explosive chemicals.
It is believed that the explosion oc-
curred just after President Andrus opened
the safe. From this some think that an
attempt had been made to rob the safe
last night by thieves and that they insert-
ed an explosive which went ofl when Mr.
Andrus forced the door open. 'Another
theory is that the explosion was caused by
a bomb thrown through one of. the win-
dows by some enemy of President Andrus,
but so far as is known Mr. Andrus had no
enemies.
The police said there was no doubt that
a bomb caused the damage.
The dead man was 42 years of age and
well known in Yonkers. He was prom-
inent in Presbyterian church circles.
PROBABLY FATAL DIVE.
Awful Accident to an Aerial Bar Per-
former In Chicago.
CHICAGO, Oct. 22.——While the Dunham
family was doing its aerial bar act at a cir-
cus in the Coliseum, one of its members,
John, met with‘an accident which is like-
ly to prove fatal. Dropping from a bar 80
feet to a net below, his body turned too
much and he alighted almost full on his
head. The acrobat lay where he had fallen
and the attendants in the ring near by
picked him up, laid him in the sawdust
and called for a physician. An examina-
tion showed that the spine of the acrobat
had been severely injured. Although be
retained consciousness, he was unable to
move, and his lower limbs seemed para-
lyzed. A carriage was called and he was
taken to the Chicago hospital, where the
physicians regard his hopes of recovery as
small. ,
John Dunham and the Dunham family
have been well known to the public for
many years. The aerial bar act in which
he was injured has been'regarded as one of
great risk, but this is thefirst time in six
years that any accident has occurred. The
injured man is 28 years of age.

NIKOLA TESLA.
By his new method Mr. Tesla inter-
rupts a current Of electricity 00,000,000
or 80,000,000 times a second. The re-
sult is a brilliant white light, although
the vacuum tubes are disconnected and
away from the exciting coils. Mr.
Tesla, while making ‘his experiments,
sat in a chair between the tubes and
the coil and was photographed by the
light.
Heretofore the method of interrupt-
ing electric currents for the purpose of
producing vibrations has been mostly
by the commutator or vibrating arma-
ture of the Ru‘hmokorff induction coil.
By this method the Vibrations had to be
confined to a. narrow limit compared
with the waves made by the new
method. They rarely exceeded a few
hundred a second, although improved
by a rotating interrupter that broke
and connected the current, and until
Mr. Tesla made his discovery 100,000,-
000 vibrations a second was believed to
be beyond hum-an invention. Mr. Tesla
has taken out a patent on his new de—
vice, and 'it will be introduced at once
where it can be used to advantage.
MAKING OF PINS.
One of the Modern Machines Will Turn
Out 8,000 an Hour.
There is scarcely a woman living
who does not use -thc common and
everyday pin every day, more or less,
but few, however, ever think how it
is made. To complete a pin it has to
go through many hands before it is
ready for the consumer. It is a very
delicate article to handle, and the cost
of building the machines to make it is
the greatest outlay. The wire from
which these pins are manufactured is
specially prepared and comes to the
factory on large reels much like gi-
gantic cotton spools.
The wire is first turned on eight or
ten little copper rollers. This is to get all
the bend and kink out of it; in other
words, to straighten it perfectly. Af-
ter this preliminary operation is com-
pleted it is once more wound on a
very large reel, which is attached to
the machine that makes the pins. One
of these machines makes on an aver—
age 8,000 pins an hour, and some
large factories will often have thirty
or forty machines at work at one time.
After the pins are released from the
grip of this machine they are given a
bath of sulphuric acid. This removes
all the grease and dirt from them.
They are then placed in a tub or bar-
rel of sawdust. Pins and sawdust
are next taken together from the bar-
rel and allowed to‘fall in a steady
stream through a strong air blast,
which separates the sawdust from the
pins. But as yet they are pointless,
and pins without points would not be
of much use. In order to point them
they are carried on an endless grooved
belt which passes a set of rapidly mov-
ing files. This points them roughly,
and after being passed between two
grinding wheels and forced against
a rapidly moving band faced with
emery cloth they are dipped in a
polishing tub of oil. This latter is a
large, slowly revolving copper-lined
tub, which is tilted at an angle'of 45
degrees. As this revolves the points
keep sliding down the smooth copper
to the lower side, and owing to the
cOnstant friction against the copper
and each other receive a brilliant pol-
ish and finish.
They go next to the sticker, where
plane, in which are a number of stilts.
The pins catch in these stilts, and,
an apparatus which inserts them in
the paper. This machine is perhaps,
the most ingenious of all the beautiful
and complicated contrivances that
help to make and manipulate the pin.
It does all this at the rate of 100,000
pins an hour, and yeta single bent or
damaged pin will cause it to stop feed-
ing until the attachment removes the
chemist. The pins are then stuck into
the papers by the machine, which is
usually operated by a skillful girl,
and" then they are ready for shipment
to all parts of the civilized world
where the common but necessary pin
is a factor.-Dry Goods Economist.
