One of the experiments made by
those whose business it is to test the
strength of dynamite, gun cotton and
other explosives is to place fresh
plucked leaves between two plates of
panel steel and explode cartridges on
the upper plate. The recoil in such
places is so great and sudden that the
upper plate is driven downward with
such force and rapidity as to catch ex-
act impressions of the leaves before
their delicate ribs have time to give
way tothe force of the blow. This
novel method of engraving is one of
the wonders of the century.

For the LIGHT.
A MOTHER LOVE.

She sits by the window
In her old arm. chair,
Her cheeks are wrinkled.
So gray is her hair.
Every footstep she hears,
Her dim eyes light with Joy,
As she peers in the darkness
Can it be her boy?
All, no! tits not he,
Her golden haired child
Who was like his dear father,
So gentle and mild.
She kisses his picture;
She falls on her knees,
And prays for protection
For her boy on the seas.
Oh why does he tarry
When her heart doth yearn
For her dear sailor lad,
But then, he'll return.
It's the same old story;
Her boy lost at sea,
Tho the mother diSbelieyed il.
Murmuring, he'll come back to me. -
But one morning they found her
In her accustomed place,
All care had vanished,
There was a smile on her face.
Relief came ~ ios''
She he gone to her by;
She was w,uty u wa'v.ng-
But now all was Joy.

TO-DAY'S EVENTS.
CRISP NEWS CONCERNING THE
IMPORTANT OCCURRENCES
THIS DAY.
A Young Queens Birthd ay

The HAGUE, Holland, Aug. 81
The young lady, whose 10Th birth
day will be celebrated with great
pomp throughout Holland to-day,
entitled Queen Of the Netherlands,
for the style "KingdOm of Holland"
was borne only from 1906 to 1915,
when Louis Bonaparte was King,
is Wilhelmina, daughter of the late
King William III, and Of his
second wife, Queen Emma, Prin-
cess of Waldeck and Pyrmont. The
mother of Queen Wilhelmina is
Queen Regent during the minority
of the youthful sovereign. AL
though there have been only three
Kings of the Netherlands, all
named William, their ancestors,
the Princes Of Orange, descendants
of William of Nassau, the illustri-
GUS patriot and champion Of Dutch
political and religious liberties in
the sixteenth century, held the
office of Stakeholder without inter-
ruption except from 1861 to 1872
and personally conducted all the
affairs of foreign policy and mill
tary administration.
No royal family in Europe has
produced men of equal ability in
government, war and diplomacy,
TO these, princes-the first William
of Orange, who was assassinated at
Delft, in 1854; his sons, Maurice,
the most eminent soldier of his
time, who died in 1925, and Fred
erick Henry, who, until his death
in 1647, during the Thirty Years
War, raised his country to the
highest pitch of prosperity and
power; and lastly, his great-grand-
son, who became King William
III. of England, Ireland and Scot
land. These were Stockholders, or
Executive Presidents and Cap
tains.General of the Seven United
Provinces-namely, Holland, Tea
land, Utrecht, Friesland, GronIn-
gen, Gelderland, and Overyssel.
OF the Kings, in the nineteenth
century, William II. was distin-
guished soldier, whose victory
over the French at Quatre Bras
facilitated that of Wellington at
Waterloo. The House of Nassau
claims as high antiquity as any
now reigning; but the present
young Queen is the last Of her race
who could inherit the crown, I'M
less she marry and have Children;
since the succession has been for
mally renounced by Adolf of
Nassau, Grand Duke of Luxem-
burg.
Wilhelmina has been educated
so as to feel herself true Dutch
woman, and willingly puts on the
quaint old-fashioned dress of the
provincial farmers, wives, with
their golden frontlets and lace caps,
so wonderful to see in many a
market town.

By Our Democratic Contributor.

The figures of the last general
election may be safe enough to rely
on to show party strength, but
they will not do to bank on for
men running on factiOnal plat
forms; if the vote for the Cleve-
land electors at l5,406 as against
the combined vote of only 1858 for
the Republicans and Populists
shows that the 18th Congressional
district is, under ordinary circum-
stances safely Democratic, there
are always counties like Bexar
that will knife a nominee. The
Hon. T. M. Paschal ran far behind
the Democratic ticket in Bexar and
to this county it was mostly, if not
entirely, due that Mr.. PaschaPs
vote fell behind that of the Cleve-
land electors. Following is the
Congressional vote:
Hon. T. NJ. Paschal .......... 1880
Hon. Mr.. Terrell -. ........ 7,292
Hon. Mr.. McMinn ........... 6,474
Which with a scattering vote OF
% only left Mr.. Paschal Al votes
ahead of the opposition, and all
must concede that there is differ
ence between Al votes against 1928
which Democratic electors had
over their opponents. Had Mr..
Terrell succeeded in gaining from
any cause whatever 1919 Demo-
cratic votes, there would have been
a tie between him and the Demo-
cratic nominee. If Mr.. Noonan is
as popular as ever, and undoubted-
ly he is, there may be a defeat OF
the Democratic candidate alone
from the action of Bexar county,
where the Judge has an abundance
Of strong friends among the
STRAIGHT DEMOCRACY.
