Is ll.cre Any "Four Hundred9"

One is glad to learn from SO good an
authority as Mrs. Burton Harrison, in
The Cosmopolitan Magazine, that the
existence of any real Four Hundred such
as are supposed to constitute the head
and front of New York high life is, to
say the least, very doubtful. The al
legged -Four Hundred are a Limited set
Of ultra rich Americans, =" who are put

II the absurd pedestaling, others take
henir~ yes seriously and accept the pub
.ic not &C and the fiattery as only the
due Of their superior merits. A woman
Of this latter division said not long
since, according to a story told by Mrs.
Harrison Really, now that society in
New York is getting so large, one must
draw the line somewhere. After this I
shall visit and invite only those who
have more than IS, 900, 000."
Such is thigh life" in America.
Perhaps, however, mere wealth is
getting SO common in this country that
the swell set will be obliged to find
some other way to distinguish themselves
from the ommon herd. In that lies the
real hope for society in this country. The
mere vulgarly rich will in time find that
they cannot draw the line anywhere on
the line of the millions. Wit, cultivated
brains, innate refinement, the gentleness
of manner and the beauty and goodness
that come from within outward-thes.
will in time constitute the genuine So
cial power in America. When that time
comes, the schoolmistress who possesses
these requirements will be more Of q

and her castle at Newport to recommend

rnrIr use of onnnowder.

War destroys, aud at the same time is
the incentive for the creation of new
things. War and iron are i~nseparably
iinied ~together. The discovery Of gum
powder caused a complete revolution III
the manufacture Of iron. The mixing Of
sulphur, saltpeter and coal as a toy had
been known Tor a long time. Hence, to
speak of the discovery of g%unpowder in
the fourteenth century only refers to
the application of powder during that
century for the purposes of war. TIC
credit the Monk Bertold Schwarz, OF
Black, with the discovery Of gunpowder
is incorrect. However, his ~investiga-
lions into the nature of powder and its
constituents for use as an applicable
force in guns produced a radical change
i'll the then customary warfare, and
from that standpoint Bertold Schwarz
deserves to be recognized as the pro-
moter of modern warfare.
Hundreds of years before Schwarz's
time the Chinese used g%unpowder.
The invention Of field guns is credited
to the Chinese Emperor Vitey, Or Wut-i,
who lived lao years before Christ. Dur
ing the eleventh century the Tartars
learned the use of gunpowder from the
Chinese. The Arabs acquired the knowl-
edge Of gunpowder from the Tartars
and are said to have used cannon at the
siege of Lisbon i'll I147. The Greek fire
was invented in 668 A. D., and besides
setting fire to the enemies ships and
cities was used to shoot leaden balls
out CT metal cannon. Marcus GRACIOUS,
who lived A. D. 1204-1261. describes
gunpowder as a mixture of two pounds
Of coal, a pound of sulphur and six
pounds of saltpeter. Iron Age.
