 AN ODD FACT ABOUT GUN-COTTON.
 When gun-cotton or other high explo- sives are freely exposed upon an iron an vii and detonated, the explosive leaves a deep and permanent impression upon the surface of the metal with which 1t was in contact. The impression produced by the exploding mass is an almost exact copy of that face of the explosive which was in,contact with the metal. This is best observed with gun. cotton, for, from the nature of the material, it can be shaped according te fancy, and such fig ures and designs as one wishes ncsn be stamped upon its surface. Thus if a disk of gun-cotton, on the face of which the letters "U $. N." and the date 1884" are indented, be detonated, it will be found that the letters and figures will be reproduced in the iron and, most singular of all these phenomena, they will be in- dented in the iron jusi as they were in the gun-cotton.

The Albuquerque Citizen publishes the following anent the reports of outlawry in the territories, published in eastern newspapers: "In no portion ofthe United States are the laws more vigorously enforced than in New Mexico. The Territory has compulsory school law; train robbers upon conviction, as senten
 ced to be hung; no one is allowed to carry lire arms, except travellers passing through the Territory; wife beaters are sent to the penitentiary; a strict law re- garding cruelty to animals is enforced; 1; the age of "consent" is fixed by statute, and is fully as severe as that of any other State Tn the union; common drunk ards are jailed, and the saloon keeper is mulcted in damages if he sells to con- mon drunkard after being notified by any one not to do so. The Sunday law of New Mexico is fully as sweeping in its provls- ions as those of Connecticut. In addition to all these Territorial laws, the United States has swarm of inspectors of every sort constantly in the Territory, and be- ing anxious to make fees, they gel nearly every body indicted at nearly every term of court. Laws This Territory has more laws than were given to the child ren of Israel by Moses It is governed with arod of iron by imported officials.
