The following experience of the

description just what the powder will
do. A quantity was prepared. and,
laboring under the impression that it
was sufficient protection to have the
powder merely damp, the writer was
molding it INFO a pellet, when a small
portion of it exploded, scattering the
rest in all directions, and, as it subse-
quently proved, loading the room more
effectually than could the most in
genious practical joker. Any one en-
tering the place in the course of half
an hour was sure to explode some of
the powder If he stepped heavily on

It is Time Now to Begin Work on
Christman Gift For Mother

There is nothing particularly allur-
ing in the title of nitrogen iodine to
the seeker after amusement, but until
he tries it the reader cannot realize
how much innocent fun can be had
from preparing and experimenting
with this curious compound.
The ingredients should be obtained
ready mixed by the chemist, being
merely a little strong ammonia and d
few drains of iodine. The mixture is
both harmless and inexpensive
Allow the stuff to stand for half an
hour in a saucer. and then pour off the
ammonia. Wash the brown powder
that remains by pouring several
changes of water gently over it, and
finally mix the powder with half an
ounce of water and pour into small
bottle. The powder must be kept un-
der water. The peculiar property of
the compound is that it is inert while
wet, but most easily exploded when
dry, a jar of the foot on the floor or
the touch Of a feather being sufficient
to detonate it. In small quantities of
a grain or less such explosions. while

TRAINING A CUB.
Long Apprenticeship Necessary to
Earn a Diploma For a Deep Sea
Pilot.
BY 70. MAYO.

There is no training or industrial
school that can fit boy to be pilot.
His diploma must be won by hard
work, exposure, risk of death and an
intimate acquaintance with all the
rips" "guts" and shoals" for 100
miles along the coast from the particu-
lar spot where he intends to practice.
Yet in spite of the long apprenticeship
and the danger of the work it is not
difficult to keep up the supply of deep
water pilots. Every time an old sea
dog retires or is swept overheard in
the course of his work there are 100
of boys ready to step in and try their
level best to fill his place.

A PERSONALLY
CONDUCTED" RUNAWAY
A Story With a Moral For Uneasy
Youths.
BY C. S. w.

Mr.. Pi1ineas Bulge sat drumming on
a table in the library of his substantial
and comfortable home on Brooklyn
Heights. He was stoutly built gen.
tleman of medium height. with a merry
twinkle in his eyes. and a frank and
engaging expression of countenance.
Just at that moment, however, there
was a vague look of anxiety or eXpec-
fancy on his face. which his naturally
contented, happy go-lucky disposition
could rot wholly conceal.
Presently the door bell rang and a
servant appeared and handed Mr..
Bulge a card inscribed:

and very reluctantly enters into COM
pounds with others.
The nitrogen iodine forms an excel
lent example of the latter case. SO
loosely is the nitrogen combined with
iodine that the slightest jar will sep
arate them with explosive violence.
In organic chemistry, where nitrogen
enters largely into animal and vege-
table compounds, the structure of such
compounds is maintained by the con-
tinuous renewal involved in animal and
vegetable life. When life ceases the
nitrogen at once begins to free itself
and rapidly promotes decay.

threateningly swinging his heavy club.

sung out short, thick-set man, who
at that moment came along, swinging
a lantern.

and Harry were bowling merrily along
towards Albany, snugly ensconced IN

the thick-sat conductor and a Surly-

ended, however, and the hard work
began, for Frank and Harry We're COM

they went along; and the sour-loOkinS
brakeman seemed to take special de-
light in putting them through the
MILL as he termed it.
There was little chance for sleep or
rest between stations, and when the
train finally rolled into the East AL
bany yard th- next morning the two
lads were a sorry-looking pair, with
blistered hands, aching bachs and eyes
smaring from cinders and dust.
Here they left the caboose and their
friends, the thick-set conductor and
surly brakeman, without a word Of
goodbye or regret, and FASTENED across
the railroad bridge to Albany. When
they reached the ether side dapDer,
gray-haired gentleman, who had
alighted from a westbound train sew

the following message was speeding
over the wires to Brooklyn:

Mr.. Phineas Bulge:

But all that Mr.. Bulge did when he
read these words was to smile grimly
and put the message carefully away in
