picturesque than the operations. The
generals ana officers would arrive in

sound of jangling bells. Such medley

A The Explosive of the Future.

The explosive of the future is un-
doubtedly blasting gelatine, the latest
invention of Mr.. Nobel. Already on
the continent the manufacture of this
new agent has assumed important d.
mansions, though here, owing to the
stringencv of the climatic test imposed
by the Government, it's position is as yet
scarcely established. Many of the
later operations of the st. Gothard tun-
mel was carried out with pure blasting
gelatine, and in Austria, the richest of
all the European countries in mines ex-
cept Great Britain, the factories where
dynamite was formerly made are now
given OVER to its manufacture. It is
simply dynamite, base actif, contain
ing SO per cent. of nitro glvcerine, with
base of per cent. of collodion wool,
that is itself an explosive, in the place
of the inert kieselguhr. AS blasting
agent it is more homogeneous than dy-
Mantle, and on account of it's elasticity
is less sensible to outward impressions,
while in handling or cutting the car
tridges there is no less Of material as
sometimes occurs with dynamite. It's
further advantages are that the gases
after explosions are lighter and thinner,
and leave no dust. developing at the
same time more considerable power.
Taking the power of dynamite at 1000
and nitro glycerine at 1,141, blasting
gelatine is represented by the figures
1856, in addition to which superiority
it is capable, unlike dynamite, OF re-
tanning it's nitro glycerine when brought
into contact with water. Sir Frederick
Abel has kept it for year under water
without it's undergoing the slightest
chemical change. It is satisfaction to
reflect that. so complicated and delicate
is the process required for the produc-
ton of this new explosive, it is never
likely to be made by unskilled persons
or concocted in back shop in Bir-
mingham.-Cornhill Magazine.

PERIODICITY OF CRIME.

There are strong evidences to warrant
the theory that at stated periods frenzy
seizcs upon certain people that leads them
TO initiate the radical or criminal acts OF
one another Thus there is truth in the
title the Geographic editors give to their
dispatches when they record romantic
escapades Of foolish girls and boorish fell
lows under the general head of " The
Eopement Mania" 1t really does APP
pear as if these silly opponents
amount to frenzy of mania, They
certainly follow each other with remark
able rapidly Even if it is. mere romantic
imitation, it may be none the less mania
Suggestion Of new crime, it is well
known, often comes from commission in
the first instance Thus it is now deemed
exceptional if one cspec ally startling muir
der stands upon the recent record alone
for any great length OF time. In the ma
jority OF instances it is followed by several
other murders in the same country Of
about equal atrocity. 1t is more reasonable
to attribute this fact to suggestion than to
claim, as some fanciful theorists do, that
there are certain conditions and combina-
tons of influences beyond the control OF
man that at certain periods incline them to
homicidal crime If there was anything
thinkable in the superstition, it would
need broader basis than the fact that
few great crimes are almost invariably
Committed with but small intervals OF
time. For, if exterior conditions thus
actuate men. there would be far broader
evidence of it, and a great number of
human beings would be subject to them.
In the matter of incendiary crimes, 1t Is
statistical fact that they closely follow one
another, after great lapses Of timein which
incendiarism is comparatively unheard
Of 1t will occur to the thoughtful,
therefore. that the sequence of such
crimes is due to the fact that one great
incendia-y act suggests to other criminals
the commission of like acts. There is,
then, nothing unnatural in what we term
the g mania " or frenzy periods. They are
simply the result of silly imitation, love of
temporary romantic notorie.y in the case
of elopments, and the suggestion to COM
NIT crime TO men ready to work i'll
upon their fellow-men for the sake Of
plumber In the case of suicides, which
certainly do develop in groups, it is the
same cause in another form, the suggestion
to the disappointed and despairing to fol-
low the example Of one of more courageous
OF more rash

ASSESSED VALUES.

In another part of this paper VIC present
two interesting tables, prepared by the
RECoRp-C MON with infinite care, and
drawn from official sources The larger is
an abstract of interesting statistical features
of the reports OF County Assessors as made
to the State Board of Equalization, relative
to personal property possessions for the
last fiscal year The effort to procure full
statistical reports from county officials
never has been successful in this State.
The laws have from time to TING been
made more stringent and mandatory. re-
quiring the officers TO report details, but
it ever happens that some neglect their
plain duty. Thus. since the birth of the
State. we have never had statistical re-
port from Assessors that was entirely up
to the requirements of the law. The
present report, as will be seen at a
glance, is no exception The omis-
sions in some respects are amusinsly
absurd IS well rs provoking. The aggrc-
gates are not, therefore, possible TO be made
relative to certain classes OF property
However, the total value Of all taxable
property listed is TO be found in the smaller
table, which is of chief interest, and will be
made the subject of some comparison, in
the future, with the reports of former years.
The lesser table shows the total assessed
value ot realty and improvements. the total
OF personal property, Of money, Of railroad
properly diyisible between counties, and
the sum total of all values for taxation.
The table also shows the values us equal
lied by local boards, and as finally settled
by the State Board of Equalization, and in
what counties the latter body raised or
lowered he assessments, and The result of
such action i will he seen that The STATE
Board increased The values 81, S36 S7l. Of
