Dynamite Guns.

The last Congress IS made an appropria:
ton to purchase ship which would
have a high rate of speed, and which
would be armed by dynamite guns.
Should we succeed in procuring such a
vessel, it might secure Vi against naval
attack, even though we have no fortih-
cations. Lieutenant Za!inski, in New
York harbor, demonstrated, by actual
experience, the possibility OF safely dis
charging dynamite shells of any size,
through the use of compressed air for
propelling them. In this case it was
proved that projectiles, containing a
hundred pounds Of explosive native ma
terial, can be expelled from pneumatic
gun tube, with great accuracy in range,
the shell exploding on striking the water,
or any other sub tancc. There is ro
reason why five hundred pounds could
not be used as safely as one hundred
pounds. A swift cruiser, armed with
these guns and shells, might he a terror
to an attacking feet, for 10 other nation
has as yet utilized the dynamite gun. 1t
is curious that we have been the first to
originate warlike inventions; the Dahl
eren gun was the first Of the great ord
nance attempted by any nation. But this
mighty pro ectilc, as we thought it, is q
mere baby to the giant ordnance Of
Great Britain and the continental na-
tions. We first tested monitor, which
was copied. and resulted in. the creation
of new class of iron-clads in all the
foreign navies. A successful dynamite
oun or guns, or a swift cruiser, also
would be initiated and surpassed by the
French, English and Germans. But
what pity it is that human ingenuity
should be wasted on these death dealing
missiles! Surely the day will arrive,
when, by general consent, wars will come
to an end.-Ds',orest.

An EXpensiYc Pin.

One fine day Scrigglesvillc man came
to town with a pailful of CLAIMS, which
he sold. Then washing out the pail care
fully he had gallon of molasscs poured
into it and started for home. Feeling
the weight of his burden he put stick
through the pail and hung the pail over
his shoulder.
Presently, jogging along in an alb
stracted fashion, the Scrigglesville man
espicd pin in the road, and being of a
frugal turn he stopped over to pick it up.
This seemed to the molasses t. be as
good chance as it could tinl, and it
promptly stepped out of the pail and
walked all over the back of the Scrig-
glesville mans neck.
Good heavens!" CAPPED the Scr gges-
man, as he struggled to his feet and
viewed the devastation wrought upon
the scenery, "a gallon of molasses for q
pin" ."--Rockland (Ms.) Courier-Journal.

they will approach to within few feet

Collecting Postage Stamps.

The mania for collecting postage
stamps seems to be gaining more ground
than ever in France, writes the Paris
correspondent OF the London Telegraph.
Among the most famous collectors in
France is q man who has over million
postage stamps preserved in l3O richly
bound vo 'umes, and another who keeps
two clerks employed in classifying and
arranging his enormous collection
Added TO this, there are in Paris about
$50 wholesale films employed in tn,
trade, and one of the best known of
these has lately offered from e2O to $40
for certain stamps. Tuscan postage
stamps dated before 1850 will be pa d
for at tie rate of e5 each, while stamps
from Mauritius for the year ls47 fetch
$50, and French stamps of 1919 are
quoted at e1 each.

LIVING AND DYING.

Finding to-day hard task done
Finding moral conflict won;
An answering glow the setting sun
Ones warm heart giving
Companionship Of those we prize,
Or cen one glance of love-lit eyes
And this is living!
Stealing away an unshared grief,
While naught but weeds compose the shear.
Unsightly bots upon the leaf
Our care belying;
The sky o'ercast when day begins,
Loving the one another wins
Ali this is dying!
But death itself to life must yield,
And 10! Heavens portals are revealed;
The Kings great register unsealed-
Oh, Joy supernal
Shows US as what we strove to be,
And love has turned for US the key
To life eternal!

The Vest as a Lung Protector.

Mr.. James Hess makes q sensible sug-
eestion in the Herald of Health, when he
calls attention to the absurdity OF our
present curious habit of wearing cambric-
back vests while the fronts are OF a
heavy mater al and sometimes wadded,
and urges the propricty of protection 1or
both sides of the lungs. The habit, OF
course, has grown from the belief that
the outer coat is sufficient protectloS Tor
tn, back. while the chest needs warmer
covering. on account of the coat being
open. But it seems a disproyal OF the
reasoning that the first unpleasant sensa'
tions of clillness are the so called creep
ers" running down the spine: Even
when the warmest woolen material IS Sc
lected for a suiting, the tailor, unless
otherwise ordered, will invariably make
the back of the vest of some thin t1imsy
material like cambric or silk, though nc
NAV deem it alvisable to pad the front
with cotton wadding. There is no proper
reason why the back of the vest should
be made so insufficient. The front may
be made uncomfortably thick, and still
fail to protect the lungs unless the back
is made equally thick and warm. In front
they ore protected about FIVE times as
much as in the back by clothing, ribs.
flesh, muscle and fat. In the back the
lungs come almost to the surface, ana
therefore need more protection. Mr.
Hess asserts that it has been his custom
for two years past. and that many gen.
tlemen to whom he has mentioned the
matter have had their vests made with
GOOD, warm backs. and after winters
trial are quite enthusiastic over the
change. They have passed through the
entire winter and spring without once
taking cod, which is the best evidence
in support of the thick vest back propo-
sition, that could be adduced. d.-Popuiar

Special to the Globe.
NEW YORK, April 1.-The feature of the
stock market to-day was the strength of Pa
cific Mail and Union Pacific, caused by the
belief that settlement of the Transconti-
mental rate war had been practically effected.
MIR. Huntington of the Southern Pacific said
nothing was done at yesterdays meeting, but
the heavy buying to-day by insiders was taken
to indicate that favorable action would soon
be taken. The rate war among the Granger
roads caused some weakness and free selling
of st. Paul and Northwestern, but the firm
ness of the general market prevented any
bad break. 1t was announced from Boston
that Union Pacific net earnings for February
increased $685. 900. This was considered IA
vorable showing, particularly as a big de-
crease had been expected. The alleged set
Element Of transcontinental affairs, was the
bull card of the day, and served to hold prices
steady. The market was
HE'LL FAIRLY ACTIVE
by the cliques until just before the close. 1t
was announced that the Granger roads made
the same cut rates apply on Montana and
Idaho business via Council Bluffs as via St.
Paul. This extension of the fight was what
had been anticipated. 1t started bear raid
on the Changers, which carried prices down
y point. 1t was represented that the feeling
among the Granger roads was very bitter, and
a long and severe fight was predicted. In
sympathy with the drop in the Changers the
whole market sold down, Union Pacific and
Pacific Mail each declining point. One Of
the weakest stocks on the list was Western
Union. Russell Sage was quoted as saying
that it was a sale for points. Gould was re-
ported as being bearish on the whole list
The market closed rather weak, and the senti-
ment of most traders favored the bear side.

Lawson wired Schwartz & Dupee that
Woorischoffer was great bear on coalers
and predicted break of 20 points in Lacka-
wanna ultimately. He also said Gould had
turned seller and was advising that stocks
were good for 10Q2j points break.
Orr, Crittenden g. Comes had a dispatch
over their wire which said: A combination
is being gotten up by the large holders in
Union Pacific, Atchison and Southern Pacific
to buy enough of the Pacific Mail stock to
stop the belligerent course of that lively COM
petitor.
Union Pacific net earnings for February
