moments hesitation Joe raised his
hands above his head and dived from
the bank and with two or three quick
strokes under water he came up several
yards ahead of his pursuer. The man
had dashed into the water without
realizing that he could not swim and
Joe was ahead of him and over his
depth now.
AS Joe calmly climbed the opposite
bank after his refreshing bath the half
drowned ruffian was being pulled from
the water by his companion, who had
secured the clothes and followed as fast
as possible. Awfnl threats of vengeance
were poured on Joe's head from across
the water when the ruffian recovered the
use of his lungs aud the volley of stones
that came nearlI Gross the river was
appalling. Joeeoolly occupied himself
in wringing the water from his clothes
and in shaking his fist at the men and
returning some of their threats.
When he had rested awhile he pre-
pared to start for home, which must

Early Use Of Gunpowdsr.

War destroys, and at the same time is
the incentive for the creation of new
things. War and iron are inseparably
linked together The discovery of gun
powder caused complete revolution in
the manufacture of iron. The mixing of
sulphur, saltpeter and coal as toy had
been known for long time. Hence, to
speak of the discovery of gunpowder in
the fourteenth century only refers to
the application of powder during that
century for the purposes of war. To
credit the Monk Bertold Schwarz, or
Black, with the discovery of gunpow der
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
in 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 gunpowder,
The invention of field guns is credited
to the Chinese Emperor Vitey, or Wut-i,
who lived 140 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 in 1147. 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 Of metal cannon. Marcus GRACIOUS,
who lived A D. 1204-1261, describes
gunpowder as a mixture of two pounds
of coal, pound of sulphur and siz
pounds of saltpeter. Iron Age.

Wear GOlOshes During Thunderstorm II
You Are Afraid.


You Are Afraid.
The one thing which a woman most
dreads-barring of course, mouse and
being out of styles thunder shower.
Many most estimable women, of charac-
ter and force, who can lead great cru
sades and revolutionize society, 60 all
to pieces at clap of thunder, and
good many men, too, for that matter.
1t is not agreeable to be struck by
lightning. Nor is it at all necessary.
There is sure preventive-as sure as
it is simple, inexpensive and always ac-
cessible-a pair of rubbers. If woman
will simply put on pair Of rubbers
when the lightning begins to fash and
the thunder to roar, and will stand on
the floor so that she touches nothing
else, she will be as safe as if she were
sealed in glass cage.
Rubber is a nonconductor Of electric
ity, and If the lightning has to 60
through sheet of rubber to get at you
it will leave you alone and take some
thing else. In other words, when you
have on pair of rubbers and are not in
contact with anything, you are perfectly
insulated.
This is not theory merely. 1t is Q
fact proved by innumerable experiences.
A pair of rubbers has saved many life
in thunderstorm.
Last summer Horace W. Folger Of
Cambridgeport, Mass, was on pilot
boat in Boston harbor, when thunder
shower came up. He was ON deck wear
ing rubber boots. but steadying himself
with one hand by wire cable from the
main topmast. Lightning struck the top
mast, shivering it into splinters. Down
the cable went the current. Folger was
knocked unconscious. When he recover
ed, he was full Of aches and pains, but
he pulled through. If it had not been
for the rubber boots, the current would
have passed entirely through him. As it
was the current could not get through
his boots, so it passed down the cable.
1t might be we'll to add that pair Of
rubbers to be effective against lightning
must be sound and whole. Do not put
ON an old pair with a crack in the toe
because electricity will get out of a very
small hole when it is cornered, and a
pair of defective rubbers will do you no
good. New York Press.
