POWER OF EXPLOSIVES.
The Relative Force and Volume of Eek.
plosive Substances.

plosive Substances.
NJ. B1rthelot, the French chemist,
has given methods of estimating the
explosive force of different materials.
His method is to calculate from the
chemical composition of the explosive
the volume of the gases produced by
the explosion and the quantity of heat
developed in the reaction. He con-
ceives that the product of these two
numbers gives, within certain range.
measure of its explosive force In
this manner he has calculated the ex-
plosive force of a number of WELL
known explosive compounds and MKT
ures.
The following table is transcribed
from his figures. The first column of
figures indicates the heat developed
by the combustion of one kilogramme
(2.2 pounds) of the explosive sub
stance. The second column indicates
the volume of the gases disengaged in
the com bustion of the above-named
weight of the explosive, expressed in
liters Il liter-1.76 pints); and the
third column is the product of these
two quantities, which. as Berthelot
believes, affords an approximate estl-
mate of the explosive power of the
substance under examination:

Total .... sos, 154,73O $3.50, 621 900
1t will be seen that the total produc-
lion of gold was. greater last year
than in any f the six previous years
while the total production of silver
was less than in either 1885 or IS Sc,
but considerably greater than in
any of the other four wears covered by
the table. The fact that the produc-
ton of gold is increasing, both rel
atively and absolutely, and that last
year it was only Is per cent. less than
the production of silver, is calculated
to tranquilize the minds of those who
have been fearing gold fam inc.
According to the estimates of the
director of the mint, the value of GOLD
used in the industrial arts in 1886 was
$48 745, 1884, Assuming it to have
been $4,000. 900 last year, there re-
manned $57. O0O 900 for coming, which
was more than enough to replace the
loss by abrasion, etc. The continued
extension of the modern mechanism
of exchange is all the while both
cconomizing the use of gold money
and making a given supply more eff
fective, so that, after making due al
lowance for the increase of commerce.
the supply is no doubt as adequate as
it was Ten or twenty years ago. 1t is
true, however. that the production of
silver has for some years exceeded
that of gold, while its use in the arts
is estimated at less than half that of
gold, so that silver money has in
creased more than gold money.
In some respects DR.. Michels and
DR.. Kimball, director of the mint, do
not agree in their estimate of the
worlds production. The former places
the production of each metal in 1885
about ST.. 900. 900 higher than the lat
ter. DR.. Kimbalps gold estimate for
1885 is about 81 10000 higher than
Dr. Mic hels'. while his silver estimate
is about 81 100000 lower. For 1884
they agree very closely as to both
metals, and the same is true as to
1883. The differences are not very i'm
portant in view of the magnitude Of
the totals, aud tend to give us conf
dence in the general accuracy of both
authorities. And this confidence is
increased rather than diminished by
the fact that DR. Michels is BIZ
of the Cernuschi school. while
DIR. Kimball is not. According to both
authorities, this country produces
more of both metals than any other.

EDUCATING THE BLIND.
The System Employed IN . Leadfn
American Institution.

The System Employed IN Leadin G
American Institution.
Mir. William S. Phillips, who has
been connected for many years with
the Illinois Institution for the Blind,
at Jacksonville, has kindly furnished
the following information on the SUBJ
ject: In most schools for the blind
books in raised print are used. The
touch of blind persons is generally
so acute that they learn their letters
as soon as seeing children, and prog
ress in their work rapidly. The
work in school is about equal to the
oridary high school course. Pupils
are classified as in other schools. But
persons who become blind at the age
of twenty. for instance, must begin
with the alphabet as little children
do. They learn the alphabet and
pass on to where their attainments
would place them. Writing is taught
by tracing with a pencil letters sunk
into a stiff card. The form of the
letters is soon learned, and some very
cceditable writing is done in this
way. This manner of writing can be
read by seeing person only. The point
systems. Braille's and Waits. are used
by blind persons to communicate with
each other. The Wait system is more
generally used in this country. The
use of the typewriter is being tau ght
in the Illinois Institution for the
Blind. This may open new field.
The typewriter used IS soon mastered,
and some excellent work has been done.
Music plays an important part in their
education. Music is read tothe pupil.

they insist upon. No class OF people
enjoy music more thoroughly and
critically than the blind. The course
in music at the Illinois Institution for
the Blind is quite broad. Opportu-
mites are offered for orchestral study,
piano and pipe organ, vocal culture.
and thorough knowledge OF harmony,
composition, etc. Many useful trades
are taught in mechanical departments,
designed to make blind men self-su
porting. The main end to be sought
in the education of the blind is to fit
them to compete in as many ways as
possible with the more fortunate who
can see, and take them out of their
espondency and give them worthy
object to accomplish in life. = Chicago

From this table it appears that
nitro-gly cerine is by far the most
powerful of known explosives.
Papillion. a French writer on explo-
sives, speaking of it, calls it 1.-THE
ideal of portable force Berthelot
says of it: at burns completely,
without residue; in fact, gives an ex-
cess of oxygen; it develops twice as
much heat as gunpowder, three and
one-half times more gas, and has
seven times the explosive force,
weight for weight, and, taken volume
for volume, possesses twelve times
more explosive energy"
He adds: Theoretically, there is
but one substance that can surpass it,
i. e, liqueied protoxide of azote
(nitrous oxide) mixed with ether or
other liquefied carburets. These
mixtures range up to /, 400 deg. Of
heat, and their energy is expressed by
the number 1000. But it is
commercially impossible to obtain the
explosion of such mixtures formed
with liquefied gases, because it would
be necessary to compress these gases
into liquid form. and preserve them
in vessels Theoretically sealed, in
which form they must be mixed and
fired. '-BOstO7a BudgeL

A FAMOUS WOMAN.
Miss Maria Mitchell, the Astronomer,
and Her Career.

Miss Maria Mitchell, the Astronomer,
and Her Career.
A New England bank cashier at the
beginning of the century thought there
was something better for his girl than
absorption in fashionable society and
prospe citing for an eligible husband j;
so he bought telescope and other as
Economical instruments and fitted up a
modest observatory at his home. The
daughter, Maria Mitchell, soon took
an interest in watching the planets
and stars. and when she was eleven
years old she made an accurate record
of a lunar eclipse. That was nearly
sixty years ago, and from that time
until recently her business has been
the study of astronomy mathematical
and observational. From the age of
eighteen to thirty-eight she was the lie
brarian of Nantucket and during that
time her nights were largely given TO
the telescope. In 1847 she discovered
comet and did the remarkable work Of
establishing its orbit, for which she re-
ceived the gold medal from the King
of Denmark. She was the first dis
coverer of seven other comets, and
when she went to Europe she was the
honored guest of Sir John Herschel,
Sir George Airy and other famous
astronomers. When Vassar College
was established in 1856 5 she was made
the professor of astronomy. She did

might interfere with her study Of
astron omy. She is now, at the age of
seventy, still professor at Vassar, her
resignation on account of age having
been refused. She has received the
degree of IL d. from three different
institutions, and is regarded with re-
speet by the world of science.
Her career has been one to be proud
OF. AS worker in a department of
science, her life has been useful to the
world. and as a teacher che has given
for a prof table life to
scores of young women. She would
have been n noble character under
any conditions, but there is little
doubt that the foresight of her father
in giving bent 10 her mind is respon-
sible for much of her success. Just as
in the case of Darwin. the almost acci-
dental opportunity to go on the Beagle
voyage was the foundation of his great
work. One of the purposes of school
is to give the young mind an opportu-
nifty to find the best work. but it is
plain that this purpose is defeated. as
a rule. Boys are forced by circum-
stances into something, but girls are
left to fall into the conventional life
through lack of opportunity to deter

FOOD FOR HORSES.
How to Save at Least Twenty per Gent.
of Feed.

AS~S~oS
of Feed.
Perfect digestion and assimilation
require perfect health in the digestive
organs. Care should be taken in re-.
gard to stabling. Look after ventila-
ton and sewerage, and cleanliness in
every respect See that the molar
teeth are in proper condition to grind
the food. Grain swallowed whole is
never digested, hence the advantage
in cutting hay and grinding feed.
From my own experience l am salts
fed that feeding cut hay and ground
feed results in a net saving of at
least twenty per cent Companies and
organizations which keep hundreds of
horses. and even thousands, have
been obliged to study this part OF
their expenses closely, and they have
demonstrated beyond a doubt that it
is economy to cut and grind feed for
horses. have fed large number of
horses of my own, and have observed
how others feed, for many years. and
know it is the correct way to feed
economically.
/ usually feed equal parts by weight.
of oats, corn and wheat bran, and it
works admirably. Few horses fed
thus suffer from diseases of the di-
gestive organs. No doubt many who
feed corn to horses in summer, give
too much of it, producing acute indi-
gestion and collie. Cut feed is not
bulky, and is therefore more suitable for
the small stomach of the horse. When
horses are fed on cut hay they get
regular quantity and no more, but if
fed on long. loose hay they often have
all they can eat, possibly consuming
forty pounds per day instead of eight
or ten. Cut hay is far less apt to
cause irritation of the intestines and
arrangements of the bowels and
stomach. By mixing oats with dry
bran. you compel the horse to eat
more slowly and masticate better A
proper quantity of salt is an impor-
tant item. This can be best secured
by placing a lump Of rock salt where
he can have free access to it. 1t slim
ulates and promotes digestion and im-
proves the condition, not only by its
action upon the stomach. but also by
its Alternative action upon the blood.
Keep horses from exposure to cold,
piercing winds and storms. Fully
half more food is required by stock
not sheltered, and it is almost impos-
sible to keep young stock from being
''stunted. if not properly sheltered.
1t is economy. to say nothing about
humanity, to place stock in warm,
well ventilated quarters. Keep the
stable clean; feed cut hay and fodder. |
with moderate quantity of ground |
oats, corn. rye and wheat bran, and |
water no less than three times day.
Observe these rules and you will save
at east twenty-five per cent. This is
not theory. but practice. Cor. Ohio
