SAN Francisco, July 23.-Advices
, just received here go to show that Sulli-
van and Ashton had a very cold recep-
ton in Honolulu. John L. and COM
pany performed there on their way to
Australia. The missionaries Of the
island exerted all the influence at
their command to keep people away
from the Sullivan show. So well
did they succeed that Jack Bar
nit, in introducing Sullivan and
Ashton, said that there was in his
opinion just about enough money in the
pouse to pay for the cigars John L. and
himself had smoked during the day.
The next day Sullivan gained the ad-
miration of large collection of street
urchins by scattering handfuls of silver
coins in the streets for the native young
sters to scramble for. GODDARD is sure
to challenge Sullivan on his arrival in
Australia, say those here who know the
Barrier Giant" The colouials think
SO well of big Joe that purses will no
doubt be hurled at the famous pair.

WASHINGTON. July Palm a report
to the Treasury Department in regard
TO the seizure OF large quantity of
prepared opium by Inspector Noyes
and other custom officers at the
port Of San Francisco, in February
last, Special Agent Irwin commends
the work Of Mr.. Noyes and
suggests, in view of the importance
of the seizure that he be literally re-
warded.. In reply Assistant Secretary
Spaulding wrote that, while the depart
ment fully recognizes the work of In
spector Noyes in the case, it does not
appear that any award can be made to
the officer making the seizure, inasmuch
there is an informer in the case who
has submitted the certificate of the court
as to the value of his service.

TIE TWO LOVES.
George Edgar Montgomery.


Love is often deaf to those
Who love her deeply;
Deaf and blind as death may be
To grief or gladness.
All, that Love should hold heart
At best but cheaply!
Such heart as none can lure
10 cruel madness.
Love. alasl is born of earth,
And drifts snpinely.
Now she finds a bitter Joy
In vulgar measure;
Now she sings with open throat,
And sings divinely,
Passion-sweet in all her dream,
In all her pleasure.
OH when Love meets Love in guise
Supremely tender,
Just as crystal song meets song
In perfect blending.
Then She scars among the stars
To her surrender.
There IN neither pain for her
Nor ending.

cupied a very large old house, but
lived only in one room. All the other

noble ancestors and buried beneath
heaps of dust and cobwebs. He lived
On the cheapest kind of bread with
tea which he bought himself. In the
winter he sat in his room dressed in a
heavy fur coat, with thick felt boots
on his feet, in order to save wood and
coal. He was sometimes for months
without a servant to do the rough
homework for him. When he had a

great fortune is claimed by a sister,

Experiments with Ammonite Show that
1t can be Han lied Safely.
Additional experiments and observa-
tions upon ammonite to confirm
the first opinions regarding its safety
and its power. Direct application of
heat or conclusion fail to explode it.
Atmospheric changes exert no infu-
ence upon it whatever. 1t has been
tried in a large number OF the most
dangerous coal mines in England
without igniting the gases which were
known to be present at that time. A
mixture of coal gas and coal dust was
not exploded by it. even when no more
than two inches of tamping was used.
The safety tests have been so thorough
and satisfactory that the railroads of
the United Kingdom accept ammonite
as freight without the usual restrictions
placed upon explosives. and it even
meets the requirements of Sir George
Elliot for perfect security, which is
saying agreat deal. Ammonite con-
sists of an intimate mixture of S19 per
cent OF ammonium nitrate and 81 per
cent of neutrality-suspicious. The
manufacture is extremely simple and
practically unattended with danger.
Being free from CELEBRATES it is not liza
BILE to decomposition or spontaneous
combustion. Having no picric acid
or chlorinated derivatives of hydro
carbons in its constitution it yields no
injurious Or corrosive fumes among it,
products of combustion.
Tests made in England on July 9,
showed that it has great strength. a
%projectile oftwenty-nine pounds weight

from the muzzie by u l~ive-gramme
charge, a. against 2S9 feet by a similar
charge of No. dynamite. and 1856 feet
by an equal weight of gunpowder.
Notwithstanding this, ammonite has
been proved of value in comparatively
soft material. Experiments are in
progress. however, to secure if pos
sible a high efficiency with this ex-
plosive in hard rock work. While the
security claimed for ammonite is high

bered that it is commonly 1.-The unex

that ammonite possessed a special vir-

its manufacture, which would enable
it to be made upon the spot where it
was needed by any one having even
a meager knowledge OF chemistry. and
