Gunpowder has steadily developed as
mechan cal skill constructed better and
better weapons in which to use it, un-
until today it has reached perfection
of manufacture for various purposes
which allows its effects to be foretold
in 8ly weapon, even to the time it takes
a grain to burn and to the distance it
wiA drive shot.
Hoger Bacon's gunpowder was made
Of ssltpeter, sulphur and charcoal. Salt
petet is chemically called inter and is a
natural product found bedded in the
earth in different parts of the world,
chiefly in India and China. Sulphur,
too, is found in natural state III many
volcanic countries, Ink. Sicily, while,
as is we'll known, charcoal is made from
wood Or woody substances by heating
them almost 10 burning heat in an
alright vessel, thus drivi"g off every.
thing in them but carbon
Saltpeter, sulphur and charcoal aru
still the only ingredients Of the gun
powder in common use, although new
gunpowder made Of different materials
is undergoing successful experiment. A
mixture Of saltpeter and charcoal alone
would form an explosive, and sulphur
is added chiefly to make it plastic or
capable Of being pressed into cakes and
shapes. All three ingredients have to be
purified by the most careful chemical
skill before they are combined. Then
an exact proportion Of each has to be
measured out according to the kind Of
powder to be made
For the gunpowder generally used you
would find in every 100 pounds, if you
could separate the ingredients, 75
pounds Of saltpeter, Is pounds of char
coal and 10 pounds Of sulphur, but it
would be almost impossible to separate
the ingredients. for they are not merely
mixed together as You might mix pep.
per and salt. but they are ground and
rolled and stirred and pressed together
by special machines until they are al
most sufficiently united to form sim
gle new substance.
This mixing process is called tritu-
ration. and the powder is thus made
into the form Of big fiat cakes, called
press cakes, and then broken up and
screened into grains Of special sizes, or
ground to the fine powder used for shot
guns and revolvers. The large grained
powders are still further stirred together
until the grains become highly glazed,
and these are called cannon powders. A
lighted match may be held to grain of
cannon powder and it will be found al
most impossible to set. it on fire, but
once ignited it flashes off very suddenly

CHARITY OF THE SCHOOL CHILDREN
interesting Scenes This Morning
in the Public Schools.
TO AID TIL E NEED

This was the day appointed for the big
pound party of The Evening Star Santa
Claus Club If any one doubted it his
doubts would have been dissolved by the
sight of the school children this morning
heading for their different buildings, for
the most part loaded down with donations
for the relief Of suffering among the very
poor of the city.
1t is needless to say that the pound party
is big success. When an army of more
than forty thousand children take hold of
thing like that, with hearts full of sym
pathy for their less fortunate brothers and
sisters in the community, it is bound to be
a big success.
A pound party is an admirable institution,
in that the results Of concerted effort of
that sort are tremendous, while there is no
drain on any one. There are very few peo-
pie in Washington, outside of the actual
benefciaries of the charity, who are not
able to give pound of something's pound
of flour, few potatoes, a little sugar.
One person giving that way accomplishes
very little, but when a whole town be-
comes interested. and each individual feels
called upon to join in with the movement,
the pounds pile up into tons, just as a
heavy ST owfall is made up of the myriad
flakes falling singly. Last year. when the
general distress was even more pronounced
than 1t is this winter. the appeal for aid
through The Star pound party was an
swered in a way that surprised even the
most sanguine and enthusiastic, and for
days and weeks during the hardest part of
the winter hundreds Of destitute families
were comfortably provided for out of the
proceeds of that memorable outpouring of
charity.
This year a slight change was made in
tine arrangements, and the pound party
was held by the children of the schools
who make up The Evening Star Santa
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1896-01-10

the pounds, and the best part of it all,
frcm the standpoint of theoretical charity,
was the glow of happiness that comes from
we'll doing animating the hearts and minds
of the children as they deposited their lit
tie offerings On the teachers desk or in the
particular corner that had been designated
for the purpose. From the practical point
of view this good effect will be quite
equaled by the effect the groceries will
have on the empty larderS of the poor.
Its a great institution" said man on
a street car to a Star reporter this morn
ing. But it works in curious ways some
times. Now, my little girl had conceived
the idea that nothing would be as nice to
take as pound of granulated sugar. She
wouldn't listen to anything else and my
playful efforts to convince ner that lump
sugar would answer just well failed ut
terly. She got what she wanted, bless her
heart, ard bless the pound party, too, say
l for one, for it has taught my little girl
lesson that she will never forget as long
as she lives, l am sure, the lesson of gem
crosby and interest in the needs of Others"
Not all the pounds by any means were
taken to the schools Many people who
have not been inside school room for
years took advantage of the opportunity
to bring pounds of groceries and other
good things direct to The Star office so
that by afternoon there was a goodly pile
in the big room in the rear of the building
on the 18th street side, which had been
cleared and set aside for the purpose In
Cidentally it might be as we'll to say right
here that the doors of the room will not be
closed tomorrow, and any one, child or
grown person. who feels that he would like
