Early Use Of Gunpowde,.

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 a complete revolution in
the manufacture of iron. The mixing of
sulphur, saltpeter and coal as toy had
been known tor 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-
tious 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 =
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 CT metal cannon. Marcus Graccus.
who lived A D. 12O4-1261. describes
gunpowder as mixture Of two pounds
of coal, pound Of sulphur and six
pounds of saltpeter. Age.

RazorS of Ancient DAYS.

If man at the very beginning was
hirsute, when did he afterward yearn to
get rid of at least portion Of his hair?
That brings US down at once to shaving.
At first the hairs on the jaws and chin
must have been plucked out singly.
Could a process of this kind, carried
out during immeasurable periods, have
produced comparatively beardless race,
as are our Indians? If man shaved first
with she'll OF bit of flint, his suffer
ings must have been intense. Prehis-
toric men in Great Britain, Ireland,
France and Italy used bronze razors, for
we find them today. Generally these
razors had tang, with hole in the
tang, so that they could be suspended.
The razors are rounded on the edge and
resemble in shape those of the Chinese.

OLD "JlM CROW"
How Rice introduced This Unique Char
acter to the Stage.

How Rice introduced This Unique Char
acter to the Stage.
In the early twenties Thomas Dart
mouth Rice first entered upon bis theat-
rical career by doing little negro bits, =
between the acts of plays, says the
writer in the Boston Herald While in
Louisville the theater at which he per
formed looked out back upon an old
stable yard, around which there was
constantly lounging an old. decrepit
slave named Jim Grow, who was SC
frightfully deformed as to appear inhu-
man. His left shoulder sloped off from
the neck iD way that would indicate
that the bone had been inverted. His
lower limbs were dreadfully distorted,
the left knee being huge bony knot
larger than his head, which caused him
to move about with a pitiful, yet ludi-
crous, hObble.
This forlorn darky was in the habit
of grooming a queer old tune, and desig-
mated the close Of each verse by taking
a peculiar STEP 'roclin de heel. " Rice
closely watched this unconscious per
former, and conceived the idea Of pro
ducing a similar stage character, which,
he felt assured, would take" wonder
fully. Accordingly, he made up precise
ly as the original and appeared upon a
Louisville stage singing a score of hu-
morous verses to the air-slightly
changed and quickened-of the poor,
wretched cripple. The audience received
this innovation with bursts Of applause,
encoring him a dozen times the first
night. And TINS Jim Crow" jumped
into fame and Immortality.

BLOOD SPOT IN ITS PULP.
The "Mike" Apple Thought 70 Commel
orate a Murder of Long Ago.

A peculiar species Of fruit is the
mike apple. 1t has fair skin, an
excellent flavor and is extensively prop
agared in the vicinity Of Norwich, Conn
Each individual apple exhibits some
where in its pulp red speck, like a
tinge of fresh blood, and thereby hangs
a strange legend.
The apple obtains its name from Mi
cab Rood, a farmer who lived upon the
outlands Of the Connecticut town in the
eighteenth century. The son Of Thomas
Rood, one Of Norwich's S early settlers,
Micah titled his fertile acres with all
the zest of youthful ambition.
But Of a sudden his habits changed.
He grew idle, restless and incorporate.
He lost all interest in both work and
worship. His cattle were neglected and
his neighbors stunned. Some attributed
the change to witchcraft Others hinted
at insanity.
Winter wore away, spring returned,
and the orchard Of Micah Rood burst
into blossom. On one tree, it was then
observed, the flowers had turned from
white to red. The superstitious neigh
bors wondered, especially as Rood seemed
drawn to this tree by some resistless
fascination. August came and the red
blossoms developed into fruit. When
the large yellow apples fell from the
branches, each one was found to con
tain a well defined globule, known
thereafter as ''the drop of blood -
The freak Of the apple tree deepened
the mystery Of Micah 5 behavior Con
lecture followed surmise, and soon it
was remembered that during the pre-
vious fall a foreign peddler had passed
through Norwich and had spent the
night at Micah Rood's. He had never
been seen again. Some one suggested
that the young farmer had murdered
him for his money and buried the body
under the apple tree.
Search was made for the body Of the
stranger, but in vain. Nor was any
trace of his stock found among the
possessions Of the unhappy Micah. If d
load Of crime rested upon the conscience
of the suspected farmer, it never forced
confession from his lips. His farm
drifted gradually to decay, and, too
broken down to reclaim it, he wander
ed about town, disordered in mind and
body.
He died in 1928, but while the blood
spotted apple continues to grow his
name and history win be perpetuated.
