Persian styles of Writing.

Persian writing is very difficult, and
even the most cultured people seldom
master it completely. The highest Off.
GERS of state are not ashamed Of p~actic-
ing. in their leisure hours, the art Of ca
ligraphy. and a good handwriting is
something 10 he proud of indeed. The
shah will show tu this day. with pardon
able pride, a series If letters lac has sue
ceeded in forming exceptionally well. In
the Persian mind their early masters Of
eligraphy rank side by side with their
tabled hero Rustum, and even ahead Of
their national poets. There are three styles
Of writing Ia vogue-thc kurance, tho
nastalik and the shikaste-while the
slikaste-nastalik is a sort Of business
shorthand composed Of the two Latter
styles. The kurance uses the characters
employed in the Koran, whence the
name, and Is obsolete. as far as practical
purposes are concerned. The other two
STYLES show more flowing and graceful
outlines. The Persian has a delicate ear
for rhythm and prosody, and a mistake
in this respect rarely ESCAPES him.-The

New and Terrible Explosives.

There is 10 end to the perfectly d. Nit-
zeal competition of the military powe.>
of Europe in the discovery of new chem
ical agents for the destruction Of man
kind. 1t is reported that the Russian
minister for VI has just concluded a
series Of experiments of Il new explosive
compound, which bids fair TO outdo the
qualities of melinite, roburite, and all
other explosives whatever in its applica-
ton to all the present uses Of gunpowder.
This new and murderous composition is
destined, say many persons, To revolu-
tionize the existing system Of ammuni-
ton.
The new explosive is the discovery of \
Russian engineer, and has been christ
cnel Sleetover. Its strength is equal I'd
that Of pyroNyline, and has the immense
advantage of being ten times cheaper
than any ordinary villainous saltpeter,
Another great superiority which il pos
sesses over all the known explosives Of
the dynamite class is that when fired its
force does not strike downward, hut cn-
tirely in a forward direction. 50 that 10
can be used for all the purposes Of can
non and muskGt charges L. which orli-
nary g%unpowder is now applied, without
any damage whatever to the weapon from
which il is discharged. II is stated, in
fact, that bah cartridges loaded with il
have been fired out Of cardboard barrels
as a test without the least injury TO the
latter. So satisfactory indeed have been
the experiments that it is reported IN.
minister Of wal is about To- have a special
factory built for its manufacture. The
composition Of the new compound is, Of
course, a deep ecret.-London Times.

Derailed Freight Accident.

CHICAGO, Ills, October 20.-A sim
gular and serious accident occurred on
the Chicago and Northwestern road
last evening, near Geneva. A Council
Bluffs express was running on
parallel tracks to those on which a
large freight train ran in an oppo-
site direction. Some mishap caus-
ed the fourth or fifth car of the
the freight train to jump the track,
dragging the others cars with it. The
derailed freights smashed against the
engine of the passenger, badly injur-
ing it, then crashed through the
train, killing Engineer Sanborn of
passenger train and express.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, October 90
Last evening a number of striking
switchmen, formerly employed on the
Kansas City, st. Joseph and Council
Bluffs railway, surrounded the house
of Edward Gore and Reagan, break
ing the windows and firing pistols.
Every window in the house was
smashed in, and Gore was injured by
a rock. A squad of police arrived on
the scene too late to make any ar
rests. III feeling was engendered by
Gore keeping as boarders, a number
of nOn-union switchmen, who have
taken the places of the strikers.
