GlmpOJCdsr is evidently not disposed
TO be thrust from its long supremacy
without struggle TO lit itself for
modern requirements. The improved
powder employed ut krupp's factory,
with an equal pressure in the bore,
gives a greater velocity than ordinary
powder. Its smoke is said to be less
dense and to clear of more quickly.
1t IS brown, or, rather, chocolate col
ored-the same substance spoken of In
the recent trial OF Lieutenant Day as
cocoa powder. In sundry tests about
one. seventh less of 1t was needed than
of ordinary powder to produce given
results. Its merit is that of beginning
Its combustion moderately and steadily
and then, when the projectile has
started through the bore, burning with
great rapidity. This is exactly the
added virtue which has been wanted
in gunpowder, so that the new cocoa,
If it rulfillS expectation, is likely to find
abundant use among many nations.

Jtili-iBg Notwithstanding to the
CgpCdidu Manufacturer, a new scheme
OF utilizing the s,.wdust Of the Ottawa
River for the purpose of fuel Is pro-
posed! 1t is claimed that by a system
OF grinding the refuse into 4 uniform
Gneuess, mixing it with the Teiusa gas
tar from the Gas-hOuse. and compress
ing the substance into caHeS, fuel can
be made In every way superior TO soft
coal for open fires. SawGust rolls were
common forty years ago IN England
and Scotland, and were considered far
ahead OF peat and CRATE fire. The cost
of manufacturing this kind OF fuel Is
merely nominal, and II is expected that
it can be sold ut a very much lower
price than soft coal. The formation of
u company to give the scheme practical
effect is moOted.

Why DO LobSters Turn Red.-No
scientific reason has yet been given why
the shell OF the lobster becomes red on
being boiled. The general statement
is that the salts which go to make the
cu.uT in the shell undergo a chemical
change on being subjected TO the action
.cf hot water. But this is rather a
statement of fact than an explanation.
Not the lobster only, but all crus-
taceans. undergo a change of color
when boiled, but in the case OF fresh
water crustaceans the change is less
than in that OF the saltwater species.
Several lobsters have lately been caught
OF Il bright blue color.

The New Mexican RerierC announces
the remarkable discovery or VEN of
natural coke at Los Cerrillos by Las
Vegas man named Smart. who IS EN-
ployed in the Cerrillos coal fields as
the Superintendent or Las vegas
operating company. The vein OF coke
is three feet thick, and lies between
stratum of bituminous and anthracite
coal. Tie coke has the appearance OF
manufactured article. and burns
with a clear, bright light. 1t has been
tried in furnaces as being better, II
anything, than the coke made in ovens.
The theory of the phenomenon is. that
the vein was originally coal, and was
brought to a white heat at the big up
heaval hundreds of years ago. Water
coming IN contact with the led of
burning bitume cooled it off and turned
it into coke of the finest quality. This
is another wonder of the Western
World that has just come to the
knowledge of the people. Ii may truly
be said, that in every week OF the
year, some new source of veal tn has
been discovered on the great western
side of the continent. and there Is no
prospect that a limit TO these discoV-
cries will be reached In q century.
