Some very interesting experiments
on the remarkable explosive ''schnebe-
lite" were recently made at Argen-
teuil, France. The brothers Schnebe-
lin, one priest and the other lieu
tenant in the French artillery, are the
inventors. The chief ingredient Of
schnebelite is potassium chlorate, the
dangerous properties of which have
been modified so that powerful and
safe explosive has been obtained. Tho
new powder is made in three forms
for military rifles for sporting guns
and for mining purposes At the re-
cent tests at Argenteuil the Able
Schnebelin prepared his explosive in
the presence of n number of spectators,
and afterward ground the powder in
a coffee mill and struck it with ham
mer without exploding it. Heat
ignites the powder only at $40 degrees
Fahrenheit. The explosive gives off
little smoke, though it hardly COM
pares with the so-called smokeless
powders in this respect. The test in
the quarries near Argenteuil showed
that the explosive is especially good
for blasting, as the impact of the drill
will not set off an unexploded charge
remaining in the drill hole.

in the Durham field. The coal Is btu.
minous and used for gas and steam.
Mr.. Mcconnell put the coal into q
glass apparatus which was heated in a
bath to temperature of from 100 de-
grees to $50 degrees. From this the
occluded gases were pumped INTO a
holder and afterward analysed and
measured. From one colliery the coal
was found to contain occluded free
hydrogen, marsh gas, ethane, and
other members Of the paraffin series
of hydrocarbons as far as pentane.
Crushing the coal to powder and sub
jecting it to n temperature of $50 de-
grees under reduced pressure, it still
retained free oxygen, the higher men,
bers of the paraffin series, and less
quantity of olefnes in the occluded
state. The experiments seem to indi-
cate clearly that coal dust is readily
ignited because of it's retention of the
occluded hydrocarbons

books we had Mrs. Barbauld's first
lessons, "Come hiiher, Charles, come
to mamma"
The school must have been a very
much ''go-as- you-please" sort of place.
So far it conformed to the highest
ideals of the best modern systems.
But 1t had rewards and punishments.
l have now life of William Tell
which was given me as prize. My
brother Nathan had Rasselas for a
prize and my sister Sarah had a silver
medal ITO the most amiable," which
l am sure she deserved though the
competition extended to the whole
world.
But these were the great prizes. In
an old desk, of which the cover had
been broken off, in the closet at the
left of the fireplace, were number of
bows, made of yellow, pink and blue
ribbon. When Saturday came every
child who had been good through the
week was permitted to select one of
these bows, choosing his own color,
and to have it pinned on his clothes,
under his chin, to wear home. If, on
the other hand, he had been very bad,
he had. a black bow affixed, willy
nilly. hardly dare to spoil this page
with the tale, but there was an awful
story that a boy, whom l will
call Charles Waters, unpinned his
black bow and trod it in the dirt of
the street. But hasten to add that
in this innocent community no one be-
lieved this dreadful story. Indeed it
was whispered from one to another
rather as an index of what terrible
stories were afioat in the world than
with any feeling that it could possibly
be true.
One sin I certainly committed at
Miss Whitney's school. But alas, do
not know what it was, and never did.
Only this l know. We were all too
street alone. Fullum, the hired man,
came for us at IL and again at in the
afternoon. One day, when Fullum
came at noon, he found me seated in a
large yellow chair in the middle of
the school room. l was reading a
book with perfect satisfaction. So
soon as Fullum appeared l was lifted
from the chair and my things were
put on. When we were in the street,
Fullum said, "What have you been
doing that was naughty, doctor?" I
told him, with perfect sincerity, that
had done nothing wrong. But this
he did not believe. He reminded me
of what I then recOllected that that
yellow chair was always punishment.
| had certainly never seen anyone in
it before-unless it were Miss Whit
ney herself-excepting the sinners of
the school, placed there for punish
ment. But alas, it had not occurred
to anyone to tell me why was put
there. and as my own conscience was
clear have not known from that day
to this what my otfense was.

New YORK, March Err G.. Dun &

different branches of industry, and
many mills are stopping because Their

larger number are starting with or

The demand for cotton goods is fairly
large, but with reduction in prices OF
some grades and the accumulation OF

years $50 per cent, though trans

about 40 per cent below the average.
There is more demand for such wool
as is needed in the manufacture OF
underwear, dress goods and worstcd
suitings, but fine feeccs are almost
unstable, and carpet manufacturers
buy sparingly, though about half their
machinery is active.
Wheat, cotton and pork have de-

Polly Did 1t.

It is very seldom that that rare old
bird the parrot. gets credit for rem
dcring the world, or mankind, indi-
vidually, service. 1t is generally
looked upon rs sort of amusing nuis-
ance. But at times the parrot can
rise to an occasion and perform an act
of inestimable service, as the follow
ing pretty little story handed down
through the ages will show.
1t appears that the Greek Emperor
Basilius had condemned his son Leo
to death on the false accusation of
two trusted courtiers that he had
formed plot against the life of his
father. The empress, in her sorrow
and anguish, tried her utmost to melt
her husbands heart, but in vain.
On the day before the execution
she sat surrounded by her ladies, be-
moaning her sons dreadful fate. A
favorite parrot which occupied a cage
in the empress apartment was re-
moved by her orders to n lonely spot
in the grounds of the palace. because
she could not endure its chattering
and screeching in her grief and de-
spair.
Not long afterwards the emperor
entered the park and seated himself
on bench. He had not been sitting
long when he heard a plaintive voice
uttering the words, ''Oh! Leo, my
son, my son. The emperor started up
and listened, and again the voice was
heard to say, "Oh. Leo, my son, my
son." followed by heart-rending cry.
1t was the parrot, which had heard it's
unhappy mistress repeat nothing but
these words during the last few weeks.
Deeply affected, the emperor has
tened back to the palace and immedi-
ately ordered his son to be set at lib
erty. Not long afterwards the mat
ter was cleared and Leo's innocence
cstablished.-Harpcr's Young People

morning when her little boy appeared
in the kitchen and asked her for some
thing to eat. He seemed content
with her Eyes, in q minute" and went
back to his play. About ten minutes
later she hurriedly hunted up one OF
his favorite cold cakes, and cllling
him, said: 'Here, take this and go to
Mrs. BIS and tell her that would like
to have her take tea with us at
o'clock tonight" The child trotted
off obediently, and, though it was
some distance up the street, he soon
came back, and gravely returning the
cold griddle cake to his Mortified
mother, said: "She didn't want this,
but she says she'll come"

French Boys Go to Fruit Schools.

One more "fruit school, has just
been established in the French Savoy,
ut Grecy-sur-Aix. These schools are
private, but they receive from the
government an annual subsidy of 1900
francs each. There are ten of them,
nearly all in Eastern France; and each
has no more than ten or twelve pupils,
who are taught practically how to
cultivate and husband fruit, and es.
pecially how to make those exquisite
French cheeses, which are sold
the world. Most Of the
men are destined to become foremen
in private farms, where the industries
of fruit raising and cheese making are
carried on upon an extensive scale.
