The IndustrinIs Spend Sunday Build

DES MONIES, Ia, May 6.--The eighth
day of Kelly's stay in Des Moines saw prep
arations for their final leave-taking under

began to be delivered at point below the
confluence of the Des Moines and Raccoon
rivers At 10 o'clock detail of three hun
dred men, mostly mechanics of more or less
experience picked out Of the army, left the
camp under the leadership of General Kelly,
marched three abreast TO the place where
the lumber had been delivered and began
working on the fiatboats. On the way they

afternoon the first boat was completed,

given for the first evidence OF the Kelly

Tomorrow most of the boats will be fin

ing Meanwhile a committee is going ahead
calling on the farmers and the people of
towns near the river to meet them as they
float down and supply them with food. The
prospects are that the river will be lined
with people and carriages all the way down,
as the country is thickly settled by pros
porous people. Kelly expects to reach OF
tumwa about ninety miles down, on the
evening of the second day, but he will hard
ly do so by the end OF the fourth day, ac-
cording to good judges. There are many
here who look upon the river journey as a
piece of nonsense and regard failure the
only possible outcome. Many Des Moines
carpenters assisted in the work of building
boats. The laboring men here have only one
desire, and that is 10 get rid of the army

Smokeless Powders.

The composition of smokeless powders
is kept profound secret by all the in
ventors and by the governments which
purchase them. Nearly all of them con-
sist essentially fgun cotton or other low
er forms Of nitrocotton, acted on by a
solvent, such as acetic ether or acetone,
which reduces the nitrocellulose to a Wis
cous paste. The paste is then rolled out
into sheets and the solvent allowed to
evaporate.
The sheets are left as a dense, horny
substance and are cut first into strips,
and then the strips are cut crosswise into
grains of any size, or the substance can
be left in strips or in fibrous form.
The French were the first to use smoke
less powder, and this they did in the Lee
bel gun. It is believed that this Vieilles
powder was made by mixing pieric acid
with the paste as above. This powder
was found rapidly to deteriorate and had
to be abandoned. The Germans intro
duced a smokeless powder in 1889, nj
trated gun cotton like that Of the French.
1t also was wanting in stability. A
first class smokeless powder must not
be too violenti in it's action; must be able
to stand extremes of heat and cold; must
not absorb water or deteriorate other
wise while in store. And it is a prob
lem to find suitable powders to answer
all these conditions. Amer

A young man and wife start out to-

Till Hillary set ye free again.
Next Septuagesima saith thee nay,
But when Low Sunday comes thou may
Yet at Rogation thou must tarrie
Till Trinitie shall bid thee marry.

Marriage comes in on the 18th of January
and at Septuagesima Sunday it is out again

Then 1t is forbidden until Trinity Sunday, from
