High Explosives.

There are certain explosives of high
power which, when heated, burn quietly
if freely exposed, or if confined explode
only at the spot where heat is applied
without the whole mass taking part in
the explosion. Nitroglycsrol, dynamite
gun cotton, picric acid and the new
German military powder are examples.
This is said to be because they are bal
conductors of their own explosive wave.
If, however, the same substances are
subjected to violent shock by the ex-
plosion in their midst of initial charges
of mercury illuminate, the shock seems
to affect all the molecules of the explo-
sive at once, and the whole mass of the
latter explodes with enormous violence.

The Pearl Oyster.

Very few people are aware that the
pearl oyster is not in any way like the
oysters which we eat. 1t is of an entire
ly different species, and as a matter of
fact the shells of the so called pearl oys-
ters are of far more value to those en-
gagged in pearl fishing than the pearls.
There are extensive pearl fisheries in the
gulf of California, and some of the finest
pearls have been taken from those wa
tiers. In 1881 one pearl-a black one
was sold for $4,000, and every year
since that time many pearls have been
taken from the beds in the California
gulf valued at over $1,000 each.-Chica-

Small Fortune Between the Cracks.

A cigar dealer was recently compelled
to move from his down town stand,
which he had occupied for So years, be-
cause of the demolition of the old build
ing.
He packed his belongings with many
a sigh of regret. When he had got his
things all out, he turned to the work
men, who were waiting to begin tearing
down the building, and remarked in a
rather sarcastic tone:
"Well, boys, you may have all you
find in this old trap"
The workmen began on the old floor,
which had been worn into hollows by
age. 1t had not been replaced since it
was originally laid
One of the men ripped up board with
his crowbar, raising cloud of dust
When he got it out of his eyes, he saw
something shiny in the crack.
He picked it up, and it proved to be a
dime. Further investigation revealed
the fact that the crack was lined with
silver.
This was an incentive to the workmen.
They piled their crowbars with remark
able energy for men poorly paid. In this
instance they were amply rewarded.
In every crack of the floor silver dimes
were found. Some of them bore dates
of nearly half century ago. The men
gathered the coin in handfuls.
The cigar dealer, in speaking of the &C.
currence, said that he hadn't the slight
est idea that SO much money could be
lost through carelessness and poor
floor even in 30 years.
"But it won't happen again." he said.
"When heard of it, l Immediately gave
orders to have my new store refoored
with hard wood, and no cracks, at my
own expense. New York Herald.

Useless Purchases.

Two eminent French gentlemen, who
were great friends, used to relaV an
amusing story of their impecunious
days. Neither fame nor fortune had
come to them, but they were always
hopeful. the years had weighed heavi-
ly enough upon Jules, however, for him
to have become entirely bald. One day
Alphonse met him witha beaming coun-
tenance and cried gayly: "What do you
think, Jules! l have been buying q
strong box!" "Then, Alphonse," re-
piled Jules firmly, II shall buy hair
brush. "-Argonaut.

Roots of all trees draw large quanti-

five months it carries its foliage.
