Securite, the new nameless explosive,
Is the invention Of Herr Schoenweg, and
has been used in Germany for two years
past. II is composed OF a nitrated hydro
carbon in combination with certain oxi-
dizing agents, which is rendered fameless
by the addition of a certain proportion OF
an organic salt. II emits spark in ex.
ploding, but this spark is harmless, not
possessing sufficient energy to explode
infianmable gases or coal dust. By the
action OF the organic salt the spark is
almost instantly extinguished. In the
tests mentioned. the fameless ssecurite''
was exploded in vessels containing the
slost highly explosive mixture of gas and
air, aud, In some cases, this combined

Unusual storage Of Life.

From the facts at our command, there
Is evidence that individual storage of life
may be far greater than the vast ma
jority of people either expect or hope for.
The mean duration of life in England
may be taken at Al years. But we have
instances upon instances in which this
storage of life is doubled, and some in
which it is tre5led. recently had, in
the consulting room, at the same time,
three gentlemen, whose united ages
reached the total of 1862 years, or over 81
years each, and each with a fair promise
of from four to five years of life at least.
/ also, within the present quarter, saw,
on the same day, two gentlemen, whose
united ages gave 1856 years, or an aver
age of 90 years each. / have seen, and
carefully examined physically, woman
who had attained the age of l05 years,
and who lived afterward for three or
four years; and once conducted an au-
topsy of man who had passed his 03d
year.
There was nothing in the social condi-
ton of the individuals concerned that
could of itself account for such an I'M
usual storage of life as that which they
presented. Two of those specially re-
ferred to were men of the highest class
OF mental power; the other has come
down from one of the oldest of the noble
families of Europe; fourth has fought
his own way from the lowest position to
one of aff1uence and power; while the

Tn, Voice o. Niagara.

In an article on Niagara Falls, an
evening paper observes anent the mighty
roar of It's waters One can never forget
the effect Of listening to this mighty
voice for the first time, nor Is It an I'M

The roar Is positively musical they say,
and few years ago distinguished
American organist spent long time IN
studying il. and trying To learn the meas
ure and compass Of its tones. lie iinaliy
came % the conclusion that the deepest
tone made by the falling cataract was
that which would be produced by an
organ pipe about 100 feet in length, ana
of pro, nrtionate dimensions as organ pipes
are nio,le. Now. 100 feet, which Is
about the height of the falls this varies
from 100 feet to nearly 1870 feet, IL much
longer Than any organ pipe is made, and
the sound emitted BY such a pipe would
not be sensible TO us as musical sound.
Therefore our ears could not apprehend
the music Of the deepest tones; and as
our ears are at fault. we give this deep
tones music such discortiant epithets as
noise and roar.
This story. according to one account,
seems incorrectly stated. The organist
in question suggested sound not nearly
three octaves below thirty two feet 9,
