WASHINGTON, March 22.-Thc pro-
ceedings in the House during the COM
ing week will be more than usually
interesting, as it has made the Bland
Silver bill special order for three
days beginning Tuesday. Ordinarily
to-day would be devoted to the passage
OF measures under suspension of the
rules, but it is probable that the Army
Appropriation bill will be called up
and that its consideration will consume
the whole day. Unless the silver ques-
ton runs through the week, Friday and
the first two hours of Saturday will be
given up either to bills relating to pri-
vate claims or to the Naval Appropria-
ton bill. Saturday afternoon has been
set apart for the delivery of eulogies
on Representative Francis G. Spinola
of New York.
The Indian appropriation bill is 10
be taken up in the senate. The West
Virginia direct tax bill is the special
order for Tuesday. and the Senate has
resolved that Immediately after this
bill is disposed of it will consider the
Mississippi river and Colum bia river
improvement bills, involving an aggre-
gate appropriation of $4,000, 900.
Legislative business will be suspended
for several hours Thursday while the
Senate listens to eulogies upon Senator
Hearst of California. The most inter-
esting proceedings of the Senate are
expected to occur in executive session.
The Boring sen arbitration treaty is
pending, and action upon it will doubt

A TERRIBLE EXPLOSIVE.
Chloride OF Nitrogen SO Dangerous That

Chloride OF Nitrogen So Dangerous That
1t Has Not Been Analysed
The most unstable compound known
to chemistry, and therefore the most
explosive substance so far discovered, is
chloride of nitrogen, which probably
consists of three parts of chloride united
with one of DiS-ogen- It's terribly cx-
plosive character, which has SO far pre-
vented its accurate analysis, Is duo to
the fact that it is combination of one
OF the most active with one of the most
inert elements in nature. It is a VIOLA

gent taste. discovered by the French
chemist, Dulong, who lost an eve and
three fingers IN the operation. Fara-
day and Davy experimental on it few
years after its discovery, protecting
themselves with glass masks, which
were in turn shattered by explosions of
minute quantities of the dangerous
compound. Faruday was stunned by
the disintcgration of few drops which
he merely touched with piece of warm
cement. There is but little danger of
chloride of nitrogen ever being used for
purposes of deliberate destruction, as
appropriation on q large scale is prac-
tically impossible. Its explosive force
is not known, for the reason, according
to Pcarson's Weekly, that any attempt
to determine it would probably prove
fatal TO the eXperimcntcrs According
to some authorities, the more recently
discovered compound of hydrogen and
nitrogen, known os azoimidc, is even
more explosive than chloride of nitro
gen, but this substance is still too OBJ
scure for decisive Judgment to be
formed on the subject.

bandits in Corsica.

1t, seems that in Corsica you secure
your personal safety by keeping a ban
dit. In an article in the National Re-
view Basil Thompson explains that the
tax of supporting bandit is not with
out it's compensations. Bandits are o.
hidden power in the country. They
control the petty elections; they
menace those who are hostile to their
friends. Thus, while the existence Of
six hundred of them is real danger to
public security. it is no small advantage
to aCorsican to be related to q bandit.
You support, you pay, protect the ban
dit; and in return lie places his gun at
your disposal. 1t is an exchange of
services. ''lle has n bandit in the serv-
ice is a common expression. Are you
in debt? The bandit will gain you
time. Are you disputing the ownership
of property? The bandit will show
your opponent he is wrong. Have you

little iron ball is called the iinglet.'
When you shake the slcigh-bell it lin
giles. In making the bell the iinglet'
is put inside little ball Of mud, lust
the shape of the inside of the bell. This
mud ball with the jinglet' inside is
placed in the mold of the outside, and
the metal is poured in, which fills up
the space between the ball and the
mold. When the mold is taken off you
see n sleigh-bell, but it will not ring, as
it is full OF dirt. The hot metal that
the bell is made of dries the dirt SO that
it can be shaken out. After the dirt is
all shaken out of the bell the little iron
'jinglet' will still be there and will ring.
