DYNAMITE.

The basis of this modern explosive is
nitro-glycerine, which is prepared by
adding successive small quantities OF
glycerine to n mixture of one part OF
nitric to two of sulphuric acid. The
mixture is kept cool during the opera
ton, and when the process is finished,
the mixture is poured into water, when
an ambercolored fluid separates, to
which the name of nitro, glycerine has
been given.
The explosive properties Of the fluid
thus prepared are well known, and the
fearful results it has produced ut Aspln-
wall, Sln Francisco, Sydney and else
where have been the subject OF genera!
comment. NJ. Nobel, in consequence
OF these accidents, began a series OF eX-
pcrIments, which led finally to the dis
covery OF dynamite, in which the dan
gers attending the use of nitro glyccTine
are greatly reduced or entirely removed.
In the Improvement of NJ. Nobel, the
nitro glycerlne is mingled with tlne
clean silica or sand, in such proportion
as to form a substance having the ap-
pearanCe OF moist coarse brown sugar.
In this state it can only be exploded by
| a percussion or decorating fuse; but NJ.
Guyot, French chemist, has shown
that the nitro-slycerine may soak out
from the mixtu.e with sand, and, satu,
rating the paper of the cartridges and
| boxes rcassumc the state IN winch II Is
readily exploded by blow.

The movement to reduce the price of
butchers meat is rapidly extending in
England.
The grave Of the first Englishman who
ever lived in Japan has been discovered
near Yokohama. His name was Adams;
he married IL japanese lady and died
about 1920,
lT IS stated that more people have
been executed in France during the last
twelve months than in any year since
1913, when the episode of the hundred
days between two restorations sent so
many persons to the eallows.
The ex-Empress Carlotta, of Mexico,
believes, in her insanity, at the Palace
OF Lacken, that she is a Wild beast and
she throws herself with indescribable
ferocity upon anybody that enters her
room.
Mr.. HowARD's princely residence,
Chateau de Beaurcgard, near Versailles
for which the Emperor Napoleon gave

established in Paris.
Swiss papers say that the ordinary
trains are not sufficient for the increased
traffic caused by the unprecedented

The Germans are talking of celebrating
the I'd OF September, the anniversary OF
the capture of Sedan, US day of nation

TnE Countess Edla, morganatic wife
of the King of Portugal, is described as

The annual report on murders, sui
cides, and deaths in the Madras Presi
dency gives some curious facts, and in
dictates the immense proportion of vol
lent deaths in British India. There
were during the year, in this single
Presidency, POS murders, 100 homicides,
1907 suicides, and S,456 accidental
deaths. OF the latter class, 5000 were
by drowning, PAT by wild beasts lin most
cases tigers, 5S5 by snake bite, etc,
This list affords some idea OF the nature
of the perils to which human life in In
dia is exposed.
A PECULIAR accident happened in
Rednitz Bavaria). A merchant of ma
:erial for basket makers had great
quantity Of willow switches slowed away
in cellar. Going down to fetch some,
his remaining away too long seemed
strange, and another person went to
look for him. This man did not return
either, and two others went down. All
four were killed by gases created by the
fermentation of the green willow
switches. The air was purified by proper
means, and the men carried out, but all
attempts to restore them to life were
without avail

The Roman correspondent of the vi.
tramontane journal, Germania, writes
that 1t has been settled that the next
Papal election shall not be held on
Italian soil for fear of undue Italian in
huence, but under the protection of a
catholic great power, presumably
France, The paper cites the election
oil Plus the Seventh in 1900 at Venice,
and under Austrian protection, as a pre-
&c jent: The Vienna Votksfrcund, Car
dinal Rauscher's organ, confirms this
statement, adding that it would be ex-
tIemely hazardous to proceed with an
election in Rome in the midst of the
agitation which would be sure to follow
the present Pope's death, and under
dlctation of Italian bayonets. The Volks-
trf''td claims both for the Pope and for
the Cardinals after his death, the right
to alter the established custom of delay
ing the election till nine, or in reality
thirteen days after the Pope's death.

4 Great Aquarium.

The Geological Gardens at Brussels
contain something which is without a
parallel in Europe. 1t is an immense
aquarium on u novel principle. In Il
large artificial cave, which contains Il
number of winding passages, Is adorned
with stalacttcs, and is altogether quite
as interesting as it it We're natural, be-
sides being drier and more airy-in this
quiet and cool retreat are fitted up a
number of glass reservoirs, lighted by
gas. Jets above, and supplied with an I'M
usual variety of hnny inmates. Stand
ing before one of these reservoirs, the
habits and motions of the fish can be
observed with perfect ease. The spec
tatOr, if at the bottom of u river, could
not enjoy better advantages Tor ichthyo-
logical investigations. Pressing his nose
against the glass, carp and bass Will
calmly seem to rub their sides against
it. Huge cells will glide sinnously out
of rocky hooks, and tlout it with their
tails; y sullen doS-iish, hideous to be-
hold, will stare at it with stolid mdltter-
cnce; and stupid fish Of diverse kinds
will pause before it in placid imbeclllty.
In other compartments seals and crock
odiles disrort, while certain tanks are
devoted to these curious creatures OF
the wave, which seem to be half flower
and half fish, and which have been bur
dcned 10y naturalists with most uDnatu-
raj Latin names Worcester Spy.

The MOSQUITO.

Nearly II hundred years ago James
Barbut, writing enthusiastically of the
perfect construction OF the mosquito,
says: 1t is impossible to behold and
not admire the amazing structure of its
sting. One undergoes with pleasure n
puncture that enables us to observe
how this piece OF mechanism acts" of
course the world contains few who feel
the pleas,Irablc emotions of the natur-
alist, when the poisonous sting follows
the irritating hum of the hated and
dreaded mosquito; still there are many
who will find very interesting II lengthy
article about it and its habits in u late
number of the Scientific 1merican. The
male mosquito lives a short, idle life,
doing little harm, and subsisting upon
the sweets gathered from flowers, hav-
ing a dainty preference for lilies, in
whose creamy petalled bells he pen
sively swings. The female is the noisy,
aggressive sex, and makes life burden
to those unfortunate mortals encoun-
tering her She stings them and
" brags about it, and, no, content with
her own evil career, every month de-
posts one hundred eggs in some cool,
damp place, thus multiplying and per
petuating her kind.

How Many Words We Use.

The latest editions of Webster's and
Worcester's dictionaries contain be
tween one and two hundred thousand
words. But, fortunately, nine tcnths of
these are seldom used. 1t is remark
able how small ~ 5 lection satisfies the
wants of the best writers and speakers.
An educated Enelishman, who has been
at a public school, and ut the university,
who reads his Bible, his Shakespeare, and
the Times, seldom uses more than three
or four thousand words in actual con-
versation. Close reasoners and thinkers
who avoid general expression, and wait
for the word that exactly fits their
meaning, and employ Il larger stock,
and eloquent speakers may rise to the
command OF ten thousand words. Mil
tons works are built up with eight thou
sand, and the Old Testament says all
that it has to say with five thousand, six
hundred and forty-two words.

The jew of Warsaw.

In the advance Of the French against
Russia, a Colonel, strolling in the sub
urbs of Warsaw, heard cries of distress
from Il house, and ntering to ascertain
the canse, he found four soldiers en-
gagged in plundering and i'll treating an
aged Jew and young girl. The ma
RAIDERS, not being inclined to relinquish
their prey, proceeded to blows =; but the
Colonel, who was an excellent swords
man, laid two of his assailants dead on
the spot, and drove the other two from
the house severely wounded; he him
self received slight wounds, and a ball
grazed his cheek. On the return of the
remnant of the French army, oppressed
with fatigue, want and disease, the worn
out soldier, i'll rags, sought the dwelling
of the jew, and with difficulty WAS re-
cognized, so completely changed was
his appearance. The Jew completely
furnished his wardrobe, and contrived
to send him through the hostile armies
to France

The Richmond Enquirer publishes the
following recipe to make u woman of
the period:
Take ninety pounds of flesh and
bones chiefly bones-wash clean. bore
holes in the ears and cut Oft the small
toes; bend the back to conform to the
Grecian bend, the Boston dip, the Kan
CARGO droop, the Saratoga slope or the
bullirog break, as the taste inclines :;
then add three yards OF linen, one
hundred yards Of rutfle, and seventy five
yards of edging, eighteen yards of dim
ity, one pair silk cotton hose with pat
ent hip attachments, one pair of false
calves, six yards flannel, embroidered,
one pair Balmoral boots with heels three
inches high, four pounds of whalebone
IN strips, seventeen hundred and sixty
yards OF steel wire, three quarters of
mile OF tape, ten pounds of raw cotton
or two wire hemispheres, one wire bas-
ket to hold a bushel, four copies of a
New York paper triple sheet), one
hundred and fifty yards OF silk or otl.er
dress goods, five hundred yards of
fringe and other trimmings, twelve gross
OF buttons, and a box of pearl powder,
one saucer OF carmine and an old hares'
foot, one bushel Of false hair frizzled
and tretted a la ma,ique, one bundle
Japanese switches, with rats, mice, and
other varmints; one peck of hairpins,
one lace handkerchief, nine inches
square, with patent holder. Perfume
with altar of roses, or sprinkled with
min" drops of the BLESSED Babv'' or
" Vest End" stuff the head with fash
lonable novels, ball-tickets, play bills
and wedding cards, some scandal, a
great deal of lost time and a very little
sage; add half grain of common sense,
three scruples of religion, and a modi
cum OF modisty. Season with vanity
and atfectation and folly. Garnish with
earrings, tinger-rings, breast pins, chains,
bracelets, feathers and flowers to suit
the taste. Pearls and diamonds may
be thrown in if you have them; if not.
paste and pinchbeck from the dollar
store will do. Whirl all around in a
fashionable circle, and stew by gaslight
for six hours.
This dish is highly ornamental, and
VIII do to put at the head of your table
on grand occasions, but it is not suita-
bic Tor every day use at home, being
very expensive and indigestible.

Causes of Suicide.

There is nothing more difficult for u
sane man to understand than why peo-
pie Will commit suicide. The problem is
rendered still more perplexing by the
fact that many suicides grow out of
causes which are considered the most
trivial. Only II little while ago there
was the girl who plunged into a watery
grave because she had warts, and the
man who hung himself because his wife
had her hair cut off in spite of his OPP
position; and now within few days a
West Virginia man goes out into his
barn and becomes his own hangman be-
cause his dinner isn't ready promptly.
As in these cases the victims must have
been enthusiastically endowed with
brains and with all so senselessly sensi-
tive that their lives would not only be
Il burden to themselves, but to every
body about them, it is as we'll, perhaps,
to count their taking of themselves off
the only "happy thought of their lives,
and for their benefit to make the dis
tinction Of justitiable suicide.

A gentleman living on Ninth street
hill was very much amused yesterday
evening at a regular pitched battle be
tween IL diminutive bantam rooster an 1
~ robin. The latter ventured into a
flock of chickens, of which banta was
chief, while they were feeding, evident
ly with the intention of satisfying his
own appetite. Not relishing the intru-
sion, banta went for him, bill and spur.
The robin evade his antagonist, and
went for him in manner that, for -
lew minutes, looked as though he would
get the best of it. Some unusual noise
occurred Just at critical moment in the
fight, and the robin flew Oft. One of
the eyes of the rooster was badly hurt.
Had the combat been allowed to pro-
coed. there is no doubt the robin would
have picked out both his antagonists
eyes, US they were what he seemed to be
going for every time.-Lafayette Ind.)
