 WASHINGTON, D. C., August IT. Senator Washbnrn, of Minnesota father of the anti-option bill. inti- mated that he will not seek to call up his measure during the extra session, because. in his opinion, the financial question should first be settled. If later the bill should again be brought forward he said he would call up the substitute of Sen ator George instead of bis own bill because the George amendment was not revenue measure and did not need to originate in the house.

A Puzzllng Fact About Woods.

The problem has puzzled many why
two pieces of wood sawn front the same
section Of tree should possess very va
ried characteristics when used III diff
ferent positions. For example, a gate
post will be found to decay much faster
if the butt end Of the tree is uppermost
than would be the case if the top were
placed ln4this position. The reasolcls
that the moisture of the atmosphere
will premeate the pores Of the wood
much more rapidly the way the trees
grow than it would if in the opposite
direction. M~icroscopical examination
proves that the pores invite the ascent
OF moisture, while they repel its de-
scent. Take the familiar ease OF u
wooden bucket. Many may have nv
ticel that some of the slaves appear to
be entirely saturated, while others are
apparently quite dry. This arises from
the same cause the dry slaves are IN
the same position in which the tree
grew, while the saturated ones are re-
versed.-Chicago Herald.

A RAWhide Cannon.

A Syracuse man named La Tulip,
has invented q cannon known as the
La Tulip rawhide gun, of which great
things are expected. One Of the guns.
made by its inventor, was tested at
Onondaga Valley. It weighs in the
neighborhood of 400 pounds, while the
cannon of the same calibre in use by
the army weighs nearly 1900. Its pc
culiarity lies il its lightness and the
easy manner in which il can be trans
ported Across the breech it measures
about fourteen inches, and tapers to
about six at the muzzle. 4 forged
steel cone forming the barrelruns to the
full length, and is only three-quarters
of an inch In thickness. T~hen{comes
layer after layer Of the finest rawhide,
compressed until it has the strength
of steel. In fact, its toughness aud
staying powers are said to exceed steel.
The rawhide Is put on in strips cd1ed
aronndand around, and is severalinches
in thickness. On top Of this lie two
coils of steel wire wound 10 its strong
| est tension and then filed smooth. The
cap placed at the breech can be easily
removed for inspection of the rawhide
filling. The tests were pronounced
successful, and further trials will be
had. A hve-lnch bore will be con
structed as oon as possible. and when
mounted upon a movable carriage il
will then demonstrate whether 1t ear

THE HIGHEST AWARD.

Royal Baking Powder has all III
Honors-In Strength and Value 20
per cent. above its Nearest Conn
petitor.
The Royal Baking Powder has tho
enviable record of having received the
highest award for articles OF its class
greatest strength, purest ingre-
dients, most perfectly combined
wherever exhibited in competitor with
others. In the exhibitions OF former
years, at the Centennial, 1T Paris,
Vienna and at the various State and
Industrial fairs. where it has been ex-
hiblted, judges have invariably award
cd the Royal Baking Powder the high
est honors.
At the recent Worlds Fair the e.-
animation for the baking powder
awards were directed by the chief
chemist Of the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington. The chief chem
ist,s official report of the tests Of tho
baking powders, which was made Tor
the specific purpose of ascertainInc
which was the best. shows the leaven-
ing strength OF the Royal to be 100
cubic inches Of carhonic gas per ounce

baking powders exhibited, the next
highest IN strength tested contained
but 1873 cubic inches Of leavening gas.
The other powders gave an average Of
Ill The Royal, therefore, was found
OF twenty per cent. greater leavenIne
strength than its nearest competitor,
and foriy-tour per cent. above the
average of all the other tests. Its
superiority in other respects, however,
in the quality of the food it makes AZ
to ~tineness, delicacy and wholesome

ures.
It is these high qualities, knoxnand
appreciated By the women of the coun-
try for so many years, that have
caused the sales of the Royal Baking
Powder, as shown by statistics, to ex-
coed the sale of all other baking pow.
