SMOKELESS POWDERS.
The Different Tests Applied TO Them and Some
OF the Varieties.

There is soon to be a competitive test OF
smokeless powders at the Sandy Hook
Proving Ground The powders which arc
intended for trial are samples from the
Peyton Powder Works of California, the
Leonard Smokcless Powder Company of
New York, and composition of Maxim,
the ordnance inventor and student of
aerial navigation.
The army ordnance officers are very anX-
ious to secure good smokeless powder,
and in the last year have made rapid pro-
gress in attaining satisfactory result In
fact, contracts We're made with the manu-
facturers of the Peyton and Leonard pow
dcrs for 5000 pounds, which composition
was purchased for the 30-calibre magazine
rifle. An additional order of 10000
pounds for the Peyton powder has now
been awarded.
About % varieties of small arms smoke
less powder have been received at the
arsenal near Philadelphia, and subjected
to various tests and analyses.
In the coming test at Sandy Hook the
three powders sent for trial will be fired
for velocity and pressure, particularly with
reference to uniformity.
The required muzzlc velocity for 30
calibre magazine rifle is 1000 feet per sec
ond. on which is allowed a mean variation
of 20 feet per second in twenty consecutive
rounds. The maximum pressure, as
measured in ten consecutive rounds, is
limited to 3S, 600 pounds per square inch
Samples of loaded cartridges before fir
ing will be subjected separately to heat,
moisture, and cold. Under these tests the
velocity is allowed to vary 100 feet per
second from the standard previously de-
termined, with a mean variation of 30 feet
per second, and the limit of maximum
pressure is raised to 5000 pounds.
The three samples will also be subjected
to d stability test, which has been found
quite reliable in determining the keeping
qualities of smokeless powder. One gram
| of powder is exposed to temperature of
$50 degrees Fahrenheit in a closed test
| tube containing piece of potassium
iodide starch paper. The test is considered
satisfactory if no discoloration of the
paper is shown before at least fifteen min
uteS exposure.
There will also be a test as to the cor
rosive effect of the powder on steel and
cartridge metal, the residue left in the bore
of the rifle on firing, facility of machine
leading, and the determination of the

Poe's Grave.

There has recently been noticeable IN
crease in the interest taken in Poe and his
early history in Baltimore.
The authorities in charge of the church
in whose grave yard Poe was buried have
been receiving letters from different parts
of the world asking for photographs of
the grave and seeking whatever personal
information they can obtain. The search
for autographs has increased.
Visitors from abroad and from this
country make their pilgrimage to the
cemetery as one of the first objects of in
terest in the city. The number of these
daily visitors to the poets grave is grow
ing all the time A French painter, who
came to Baltimore recently, gathered seve-
raj ivy leaves and sent them by mail to his
friends in France A Baltimore man
who once called on TennysOn was told by
the poet that his strongest desire to visit
America was in order that he might pay
his respects to the grave of Edgar Allan
Poe.
Poe is buried in the graveyard of the old
Westminster Presbyterian church. which
stands on the southeast corner of Fayette
and Green streets The grave, however.
is kept in very good condition. 1t is in
the most conspicuous corner of the grave
yard, which is surrounded by Il brick wall
surmounted by an iron fence. Through
this fence the monument easily can be
seen. The place is in the heart of the
city. Lines of street cars intersect at
that point and opposite is one of the
schoolhouses now being used as the city
college while the new city college is being
constructed. On the other corner-also
opposite the monuments one of the
grammar schools.
1t is especially fitting that the public
schools should be standing sentinel, so to
speak, over the poets grave, for it was
the public school teachers of Baltimore
who, after years of hard work, and, final
ly, by the cooperation of George W.
Childs, raised the funds which paid for
the monument.
Poe was buried Oct. 9, 1S49. His
grave was unmarked for years, and in
1865, the school teachers took the matter
in hand. By entertainments and collec-
tions they secured 1927. %. There the fund
remained for several years more. Finally,
in 1875, an appeal was made to George
W. Childs, who made up the $1,000. On
Nov II, 1875, the marble memorial was
dedicated in the presence of n large atten-
dance, the school children being in the
majority

in about one minute.
Recent firings with the Peyton powder
increased the temperature from SO degrees
to 1876 degrees, and it was found that the
powder, if subjected to a heat OF 2S9 de-
grees, would boil, but would not explode
At 1913 degrees it exploded after % sec

A test to which all smokeless powders
have been subjected, but which prolongs
the results beyond the principal test at
Sandy Hook, is that of sun exposure. 1t
takes Sc days. Two samples are placed
in shallow trays with glass bottoms, and
protected from the weather by means of
sheet of glass.
There are many varieties of smokeless
powders, among them being the samples
presented by Albert Smith of New York
City and H. p. Wiedig Of Newark, n. D.,
but only the three samples named will be
tested at Sandy Hook.

Some villainies only stir the blood,
while Others bring it to the boiling pitch.
We refer particularly to those sharks who
enlist the confidence of some poor fellow,
who is willing to work and either hasn'
a chance or wants to better it, and having
got his attention and his money send him
to some far part of the country in search
of good job and good wages. These
cannibals have little to fear, for having
got their dupe into some unhealthy part
of the world the chances are that he will
die there and if he returns will be too poor
to bring the swindlcr to justice. Just
now report comes from Panama that hun
dreds of craftsmen have been sent there by
"sharpers" who promised them work at
lucrative wages. The fact appears to be
that no kind of labor is in demand there
except negro labor and that is paid just
enough to maintain existence. Many of
the intelligent white men that are there
can't get even negro labor to do and are
starving to death.

The greed of England and of Russia, for
territorial ACKNOWLEDGEMENT regardless of
everything else is what leaves such an
outrage as the reported Armenian mas
sacrc to go unpublished. Turkey herself
finds almost her existence dependent upon
this rivalry between the selfish policies OF
the two nations anxious to control the
great east and make it tributary. Tur-
key can thus do with impunity what she
would otherwise be punished for. Thus
she does not make any real attempt to
restrain the Kurds, who are rabid Moham-
medans and incorrigible robbers. The
Turk winks at the depredations committed
by them upon the defenccless Armenians
50 long as enough is left for the Arme-
mans to pay taxes to the Turkish govern
ment And this shocking condition of
things is allowed to exist because England
is trying to keep Russia out of the Medi-
terranean sea and Russia is trying to
grab all she can of eastern territory.

Parkhurst is so striking that many clergy
men will feel tempted to attain similar
distinction without adequate cause. AT
a meeting of Portland clergymen Monday
evening, the Rev. Mr. Wilson said he
thought Dr. Parkhurst is not an ordinary
man, and may rather be likened to one of
the old prophets than to an ordinary
preacher. He felt that the average ordi-
nary preacher would get along much bet
ter if he confined himself to the gospel of
the Lord Jesus Christ than if he branched
out too much.
