EXPLOSIVE CoTToN. A letter from Berlin
in the Boston Courier unravels the whole mys-
terry Of the preparation Of Cotton as a substi-
tute for gunpowder:
"The preparation is said to be much strong
er than powder, and possess the great advan-
tage of not sollng the gun barrel. Professor
Otto, of Brunswick, has disclosed the whole
mystery; saying that as soon as he heard of it,
he went TO experimenting, and having succeed
ed in his researches, he publishes the results
Immediately, in detestaton of u scientific man,
who would make science vena All that is
necessary is to soak the cotton wool in tuning
nitric acid; then wash all the acid off by rnsing
the cotton two or three times in water, and dry
it. This is all. The cotton becomes as explo.
sive as gunpowder, and if fine and we'll pre-
pared, it will explode by being struck with q
hammer upon an anvil"

The LATE CAPT. McKAvETT. An inclden
concerning this brave man, who fell in the
stormng of Monterey, is thus related in the
Christian lntelligencer:
The captain was of Irish origin, and in early
childhood was left an orphan. He found friends
in the ladies of the Orphan Asylum Society, at
the head of which is now Mrs. Bethune. A
sprightIy, gifted boy, he made rapid improve
ment, and evnced so much promise that pains
were taken to secure him in proper season n
place at West Point. There he distinguished
himself, and graduated with the highest honor.
Immediately on graduating, he called on all
the ladies who had been his friends, to thank
them for their kindness and care. He used 10
say to them, he was unusually favored, for on
the loss ofone mother, he had found a number.
From that time he has frequently remembered
the institution by donation. How many has
this home of the orphan brought forward to
usefulness, and what numbers to influence and
distinction. It's history is one of blessings to
the young. May it long prosper.

MARINE DrsAsTER-G Great Suffering -LOss o.
Life. A slip from the Norfolk Beacon furnishes
as with the following marine disaster, attended
by great suffering, and loss Of three lives.
Schr. Direct, Caleb S. Briggs, from Balti-
mole, bound to New York, with a cargo of
corn, meal, iron and tobacco, went ashore dur
ing the gale of the 9th instant, on Egg Island
Shoals, [mouth of York River,1 bilged and
sunk The captain and crew sought safety in
the shrouds of the vessel, where having lashed
themselves securely, they remained with the
execution ofthe mate S. M. Lttefeld-who
was drowned in his effort TO reach the shore on
4 squaresal boom) for three days and nights
without attracting notice or receiving succor. -
On the morning of the fourth day, their situa-
ton being espied from the shore, 1.-THE thick
weather no doubt preventing an earlier notice
OF it, help was sent to them, which, upon
reaching the vessel, Immediately took the cap
tam and crew from the rigging. Previously TO
their being taken down, the cook, Asa Barnes,
died from exhaustion and suffering, and the
captain, no doubt, from the same cause, died
before he reached the shore The residue of
the crew, consisting Of John Davis, ELhean c.
Prior, and Richard Daugherty, suffered severe
ly, but have recovered so far as to enable them
to reach this port. The vessel and cargo is
now in charge of a competent person, we are
informed, who will make every effort to save
the cargo, which, when saved, will be shipped
to this port.

EXTRAORDINARY FEATs OF PEDESTRIAN.
Eaton, the English pedestrian, who performed
the recent feat ofwalking at Caledonia Springs,
several years ago in England walked quarter
OF mile in every successive quarter of an hour,
for the space of six weeks. On two other oc-
casOns he walked 100 miles in as many hours,
and in one instance 1898 half miles in as many
half hours. In 1917, he walked 5000 miles in
forty-two days, and soon after trudged along at
the rate of 81 miles a day for 90 successive
days Decidedly "tall walking" that, partcu-
larly in hot weather.

HEAVY RAINS AND FREsHETs. During
last week several very heavy rains were expe-
rienced in Washington county, Pa, which eau
sed the streams to swell greatly, in some places
oVeraowing their banks, causing much destruc-
tOn ofProperty. The bridge at Thomas Mill,
IN Nottingham township, says the Washington
Reporter, was carried away. Mr.. Williams
jured. A new, unfinished bridge, near Mr.
Moore's farm in Cecil township, was carried
of; and considerable injury was sustained by
the bridges on the Pittsburgh Turnpike. We
have no doubt that immense injury has been
done to the mill-dams upon all the creeks; as
to the fences they are swept entirely off all the
bottom lands in the creek valleys.

Correspondence of the Baltimore Clipper
WASHINGTON, Sept. !, 1916.

On Saturday night the store of Messrs Ryon
X Ober, on the corner of Louisiana and Seventh
street, was entered in a Clandesne manner, by
breaking the lock. The drawer contained four
or five hundred cents, but these the trespasser
refused to take. Gold and silver must have
been his aim, as the groceries were undsturbed,
and nothing missed by the proprietors.
The clerks in the several departments were,
yesterday and to-day, paid off in gold and sill
yer. Formerly they received checks, and got
them cashed at the banks but the Sub-Trea-
sury law has changed the old mode of doing
business, and introduced a new.
There is much sickness, principally bilious,
in this city. A great deal may be prevented
by being particular in food, and avoiding, as
much as possible, the suns extreme heat.
