Pullman sleepers. models of palatial

out of 5000 in England ever dreams Of

course, quite proper to the whole 5000
to do so. But it is quite unnecessary.
Some people think that by being pre-
scented at court they get invited to state
balls and concerts and to entertainments
given by the PRINCE of Wales. There, is
a great mistake in regard to this. Here
is where the error is. No one can be III
vited to state entertainment unless he
or she has been presented at court. Pre-
sentation is a sine qua non. But it is not
the only thing necessary. There are
other considerations which have to DO
taken into account. l don't fancy that
more than one person out of 100 who are
presented at court ever gets an invitation
to a state ball or concert at Buckingham
palace, or to Prince of Wales garden
party at Marlborough house
The other ninety-nine might have been
presented, SO far as being asked to state
entertainments is concerned. For AnIeri-

after the drawing room they viii be

a New Kind of Powder.
From the Ne,o York Times.

LONDON, May 29.-The new rifle powder
has ben invented. | have touched it. ham
died it, even tasted it. Moreover, it is the
invention of newspaper man-one of tue
staff of the Standard, Mr.. S. j. Mackie
1t is q cotton powder, white, capable Of
being compressed and fired with illuminate
of lead, the lowest and safest detonator
known. Five-and-twenty grains of it will
give results more than equal to fifty grains
Of the best black powder-that is to say,
where the fifty grains would give range at
given elevation of 200 yards, the Mackis
powder will give a range Of $50 yards.
:, Mr.. Mackie has an ingrained distrust of the
war Office, and has not yet decided to
bring his powder directly before
them He will probably let a COM
pany do that sort of work And
the powder is absolutely safe. You may
throw handfuls of it on an open fire, and it
will only burn with a pale blue flame. You
may wet it till it cakes, and it Will still give
good, if not the best results; you may keep
It for years in any climate, for there is posi-
lively no element left in the powder which
can change through heat or moisture; you
may subject it to any temperature below
the point of boiling water without affecting
its composition, though beyond that point
its immunity from danger is non-proved,
which it well may be, seeing il is of no
practical Importance. 1t is not absolutely
smokeless, but it gives off light blue va
por, much like THAI from the end of good
cigar, and Mr.. Maekie rightly claims
that this is an advantage, as
the vapor is not dense enough
to affect the aim, and it enables general
who is ON the lookout for it to see where bis
troops are engaged. 1t produces heat
waves of coursa hat 81 must any powder,
black or white, and it's heat waves are visl-
bic so that they do not allow the officers and
men engaged in the firing party to suppose
that the heat waves do not disturb the

powder seems to me to get over the difficult
tics of the problem that has been engaging
the attention of experts for several years
But the joke of the thing comes n mere
The powder was invented in 1873! Al
that time Mr.. Mackie was com
mercially interested in blasting powders
and other explosives used on a gres0
scale. He found this powder out by sorI
of accident, or rather by following series
of ideas suggested In the ordinary course Oh

powder at the time, and the cartridges
made from it were never usedu A caSIai
