Snokeleas Powder Trials

Recently the Navv Department manufactured
at the powder works at Newport, R. L., two va
rieties Of smokeless powder. The base of both
these powders was pure gun cotton, which is
turned into celluoid and then reduced to grains
but they were differently treated IN preparation,
and yesterday they were subjected to tests al
the proving ground at Indian Head to deter
mine the exact effects OF the different treat
ments. six-!nch gun was used for the tests,
although the powder was really intended for
eight-inch calibers. The trial shots showed
that the different methods OF preparation OF the
same material produced very different results,
as one of the powders gave to the shot veloc-
ity of 2, 900 feet per second. with a pressure in
the chamber OF eleven tons, while the other
showed velocity of 1880 feet, with a pressure
of sixteen tons.

what the Electric People Propose to Do n
They Get Opportunity.
A special dispatch from Gettysburg, Pa,
says:
Gettysburg is we'll pleased with the three
commissioners appointed BY the Secretary Of
War to act for the United State. on this battle
field, and their first move is awaited with much
interest by both the trolley and anti-trolley
people.
The electric people are exceedingly DESTROYS
of securing a right Of way over the battle
field Of the first day and are blocked
solely by the fact that the owners Of
the land have refused to sell them this
privilege.
Should the bill allowing such corporations
the right Of eminent domain pass the legisla-
ture and become law they will instantly con-
denim the land and proceed to desecrats semi
nary Ridge. Consequently the friends of the
field say 1t behooves the commission to move
promptly.

The Good Templars.

The various lodges Of Good Templsrs are on
the alert to capture new members for their
order. On Thursday evening the hrst of =
series Of meetings of the "model lodge" or
training school WAS held in the rooms Of Morn
ing Star Lodge for the purpose Of e1emplifying
the unwritten work. This session was attended
by representatives Of nearly every lodge in the
District and BY visiting members Of other juris-
dictions. The lodge was called TO order by the
grand templar, the chairs fllsd by persons we'll
versed in the secret work OF the order, and after
the usual opening ceremonies two candidates
were initiated into the mysteries Of Good
Templary members Of the Morning Star
Lodge. The ritualistic work Of the order ives
fully exemplifed. These sessions will be con-
tinued through the present year, and 1t Ia
hoped that much good will result therefrom.

ed massacre, hundreds of them sought 10
efface the mark with aquafortis! the flesh
mortified, and they persisted. But this is
by the way.
An alternative to tattooing for the pur-
poses mentioned was scarifcation, which
naturally eommends itself to black people
4 thousand harmless substances may be
pricked into white skin to give color, but
we could not readily name one that would
show with sufficient clearness on negro.
Accordingly, reason taught him TO scarify;
a practice which not only raises the flesh
in monstrous ridges, if so desired but also
makes color, for the scars come out whitish.
So for as we know, the Kalmuks and their
kin, the Avars, alone used this custom
among peoples not black So the horrible
Disbursements which seem mere wanton-
ness and baIbaIism to missionaries and
such amiable folk were justified by common
sense in their origin, and still are, more or
less A negro of the West Coast, whittier
slaves and refugees drift from wide space
in the int rior, can name the tribe of any
individual almost at sight. A few, how
ever, come from such distances that their
marks are unknown. Not infrequently
they were captured so young that they
themselves can give no information. Such
case we noticed in a young women whose
breasts and shouder-blades were adorned
with rosettes in high relief, very neat and
regular.
Every race of Africa, including Arabs,
has its own device unmistakable, often
differentiated" by some token declaring
the clan, and even sometimes of the family.
Another Ineligible motive for savage
fashions is the wish to strike terror For
this purpose eccentric arrangement OF the
hair is very serviceable. Here we have
one explanation of those endless varieties
in hdirdressing which amuse and puzzle an
African traveller-that is to say, the orgi
nal motive. The Germans of old used this
artiice, as we know by constant references.
Tacitus mentions that certain tribes tied
their hair on knot in the crown of the
head, and let the ends toss about their
bodies, painted black, as we're their shields
and arms. Others, especially the dreaded
Catti. suffered the hair to fall over their
faces, impaired and unarranged, like that
of Skye terrier. An awful sight, indeed,
are the Catti, says Tacitus, in array Of
battle. All these people painted, of course,
There are countless savage fashions which
the most ingenious theorist and the most
learned student of anthropology cannot
explain Yet, guided by what he knows,
he cannot but fancy that there was a sort
of reason in each of them-we do not refer
to dress and such matters. The very
general practice of drawing certain teeth,
for example, may be associated with the
IDEA oil sacrihce. piackehluS thc tee'h
follows naturally from the Disagreement
caused by chewing betel, as any one can
understand who has seen white man
victim to that foul habit. And we may
imagine that filing the teeth was not alto
gether an unnatural consequence of black
ening them, since they take brilliant colOrs
after that process
