birthstone can be produced IN fine quality

Gun-CottOn Ia Warfare.

A new use has been found for gum
cotton. Hereafter it is to be employed
for disabling guns OF the enemy, and is
10 take the place OF the spike and the
srmorer's hammer. A slab Of kun-cotton
simply laid upon the muzzle OF a gun
and detonated, so Injuries and detorts the
weapon as to render it practically useless
for friog, while iD the case of muzz'e.
loader il at ones precludes any attempt
to load the gun. The old plan, it may
remembered, OF rendering an enemy's
guns useless after storming battery,
was TO spike them by driving nail into
the vent or touch hole, snd then, In the
event of the attacking party being
driven out OF the battery again, or retir-
ing, the weapons could not be used
against them, at any rate for time. The
rapid injury Of gun by means o! gun
cotton in the way now suggested will
prevent the cannon ever being employed
again. This is not the first application
that has been made of guucottou for
purposes of destruction before the eDe.
my. A new body Of men called cavalry
pioneers, first created by the Austrians,
and now adopted in the British army,
are TO employ charges Of gun-cotton in
similar way for breaking railway lines
aud destroying bridges quickly. The
trooper, mounted on strong and rapid
horse, ia provided with belt containing
a few pounds OF compressed gun-cottob,
and on arriving at railway he dismoun,s
and places charge upon one OF the rails.
The gun. cotton il detonsted with fuse,
and the result is that half a yard Of metal
ia sent flying over the next hedge.
Probably not more than 90 seconds are
necessary TO work the mischief, but the
man is up aud away before the explosion
can take place.

Faces and Strings.

Did you ever see a gutta-percha face
and did you ever amuse yourselves with
pinching il one way and pulling il an
other, and seeing what different expires.
sions it will put on? When you cease
pulling and pinching it, IL returns TO the
same face il was before.
Now your little faces are softer than
gutta-percha, and they are full OF little
strings called muse es; and the little
muscles pull them one way, and pull
them another, Just according to your
feelings. Sometimes you feel grieved OF
sad, and the little muscles pull your
face into very doleful depression, and
we know by looking at you Just how you
feel. Sometimes you feel pleased or
merry, and the little muscles pull your
faces into smiles and dimples.
But often there are wicked passions at
work at the strings. Anger pulls, and
oh ! what dissgreeable look the face
puts on in minute. Pride pulls the
strings, or vanity, or envy, or discontent,
or deceit, and each brings it's own ex.
preston over the face.
The worst OF it il, that when these
passions pull very often, the face does
not return to what 1t was before, but
the muscles harden and retain that ugly
expression. BY indulging in evil pas
sions, people may work their faces up
into such awful faces, that sometimes
when you meet msn in the street you
can tell, just by looking at his face what
his character is.

: One Of the Highest Mountains.

According TO recent geographical sur
yeys, it seems that the AcoDcagua Peak
il the loftiest of the Andes range, and
the highest in America. II Is one hum
dred miles east of Valparaiso, aud nearly
in latitude 80 deg. 30 min. south. Ia
actual height IL not accurately known.
hut the measurement made by NJ. Pissis
aud other noted scientists make 1t reason
ably certain that the elevation Is between
%. 400 and 23. 900 feet above the waters
OF the sea. 1he French explorer made
it 22,422, or four miles and !, ,302 feet
over, which would be 99S feet higher
than the snowy summit of Chimborsz,.
rs Humboldt measured the latter, whep
In 1902 the great German made his
famous ascent OF that mountain with
Bonpland to height of 1926 feet.
Aconcsgua, seen from the Cnilian ees'
port Of Valparaiso, Is shown only as .
peak, towering above the other heights
of the Andes at distance OF one hun
dred miles or more inland, toward the

extinct volcano, but the best examina>

APPRoPos of Lord Leitrim's murder,
the Daily News (London) remarks: at
is curious that almost all the more vio-
lent crimes which mark Irish society are
perpetrated in districts in which there is
a strong infusion Of English and Scotch
blood. Tipperary, where the soldiery OF
Cromwell were settled, has been the cen.
ter and headquarters OF the most brutal
outrsges. Kerry, which is almost purely
Celtic, is as peaceful as Kent or Wilt
shire-perhaps more 80. Ulster, where
the Scotch and English settlers abound,
is the most violent and turbulent of the
provinces. The mixture Of the Saxon
and Celtic blood seems to produce a VIC.
lent and inHammsble compound possess
irg dangerous qualities from which the
separate elements are free.
