CONCERNING DYNAMITE.

Several 5.iiiio:, Ioel:s-s z-.res.cd l., Its
Manufacture IN the CnIted states.
Very few people have a correct idea
Of what-dynanite is. of what it is made,
and the uses to which it is pat. TO the
French belongs the honor Of its discov-
cry and its practical use.
Nitro-glycerine is the force OF all high
explosives. Dynamite is the name most
usually given to these explosives,
though other names are sometimes used.
Dynamite, says the Detroit Free
Press, is simply nitro-glycerinc mixed
with various ingredients. Nitro-glycer-
me is made by mixing sulphuric and
nitric acid with sweet glycerine, the
same that is used by the ladies to pre-
vent chapped hands. Mixing the acids
and glycerine is where the great dam
ger lies in the making of nitro-glycer-
inc. The miXing-tank, or agitator, as
it is called by dynamite makers, Is a
large steel tank, filed inside with many
coils of lead pipe, through which, while
the mixing is in progress, n constant
flow of ice water is maintained. This
flow of ice water is used to keep the
temperature of the mix below eighty
Eve degrees, as above that point it
would explode, and hole in the ground
would mark where the factory had
been. The nitro-glycerine is stored in
large earthenware tanks, which are
usually sunk in the ground to guard
against blows or severe conclusion.
The other ingredients for making
dynamite are: Nitrate of soda, which
is found only in Chill, carbonate of
magnesia and wood pulp.
Dynamite is put in paper shells
usually one and quarter inches in
diameter and eight inches in length,
and weighs about one-half pound to
each shell or cartridges It has largely
taken the place of black powder for
blasting, as it is many hundreds of
times stronger and consequently more
economical. It is used chiefly in mining
all kinds of ores, coal and rock and
submarine blasting and railroad build
ing. Without it's aid many railroads,
especially those crossing the Rocky
mountains, could not have been con-
structed; without it He'll Gate in New
York harbor could not have been de-
stroyed, and without it the miner, at
prices now paid for mining ores, could
not earn his bread.
Dynamite will not explode from any
ordinary fall or jar; it will burn with
out explosion and freezes at forty-t two
degrees, ten degrees above ordinary
freezing point. The bomb of the an
archist is made of metal or glass and
filed with pure nitro-glycerine ar
ranged so as to explode by severe con-
tact with any hard object. These
bombs are, of course, never made by
reputable dynamite factory.
Five or six millions of dollars are in
vested in the manufacture of dynamite
in the United States, and its use is con-
stantly on the increase. The fumes of
produce intense head
ache, which can be cured by taking a
very small dose of it internally.

It Is to Be Found In the Reflection That
There Are Worse Climates
Which is the very hottest region of
the globe is disputed warmly sometimes
by travellers. The thermometer will not
decide in the sense we refer to, says the
London Standard, because local condi-
tions have such great influence on our
feeling of misery Those who have
been quartered at Alden would not al
low that any spot on this upper earth
can be more awful than that. But un-
fortunates who have dwelt in Scinde
mock the terrors of Alden. Visitors to
Bushire, in the Persian gulf, talk light
" of Scinde; and Russians assert that
there are districts in central Asia more
terrible than all three. One would in
cline to believe them also, if only it
were proved possible to live through a
summer in heat more cruel than that of
Scinde, for instance. Americans also
put il a claim for their great desert.
One thing IS assured-that the famous
Sahara does not approach any of those
mentioned. In some parts of Scinde
necessity taught the inhabitants ages
ago to invent an apparatus for cooling
their rooms, which we were glad to
adopt under the name s'windsail.''
AS for the actual heat in the severest
climates, persons otherwise trustworthy
will give astounding reports. We have
heard responsible officers of the old In
dian fotlla avouch that they have seen
the glass register 200 degrees in the sun
at Bushire. It was long time .,
however, and there lies their excuse.
Perhaps $50 degrees has been recorded,
for brief space, under peculiar cir
cumstances. But when 160 degrees is
passed every fraction becomes horribly
perceptible. Ten degrees above this is
not uncommon. The coolest place to be
found at Shikarpur sometimes has been
14O degrees. But 40 degrees il the
shade may be regarded as the tempera-
ture of the very hottest climates in the

In Naples the city treasury is not only

Immense burdens laid upon them by the

The MornIitx of Athans.

The city in Europe which makes the
best showing, so far as morality is
concerned, is Athens. Within the
memory of the present generation,
there has been no single matrimonial
scandal that has taken place in the so.
ciety of the Grecian metropolis, and the
latter is about the only capital in the
world which is absolutely without any
chronique scandaleuse. The Athenians
marry young and remain taltnfuI TO
their marriage vows. This is not alone
on account of principle. but is also at
tributable in a measure to the almost
entire absence of the demi monde. What
little there is of the latter in Athens is
exclusively of foreign origin.

a Scientist Thinks PhosphoresceDt Glow
Will Supersede ELECTRICITY.
1t seems hard to believe that in n very
few years the incandescent lamp. which
we now regard as in many respects an
almost perfect light, will be regarded
as crude malxeshift, which mankind
availed itself of while science stood on
the threshold of the discovery of the
perfect luminant. Mr.. Tesla has shown
in his experiments an ideal form of
electric lighting which would transcend
in luxury and convenience our present
system of electric lighting bv incan-
descent lamps SO tar as the latter tran
scends the oil lamps and tallow dips
used by. our near ancestors. Every
drawing room would become an electric
field in a continual state of rapidly alter
mating stress, in which the occupants
would live, experiencing no unpleasant
effect whatever, while vacuous tubes
or phosphorescent globes and tubes
without care or attention, would shed
a soft, diffusc light of color and intensi-
ty arranged to suit the most luxurious
fancy. Mr.. Tesla's watchword is that
the phosphorescent glow is the light OF
of the future: he hints at artificial au
rorse spreading from the summit OF
towers of hitherto..undreamt height, and
he has, at all events, got as far as pro.
