Grnpowder.

The explosion OF gunpowder is divided
into three distinct stages, called the iRni-
ton, inflammation and combustion. The
ignition is the setting on. fire q the trst
spreading of the fame over the surfsce OF
the powder from the point of ignition
Combustion is the burning up Of each
grain. The value Of gunpowder Is due to
the fact that when subjected to sufficient
heat 1t becomes gas which expands with
frightful rapidity. The 80 called explosion
that takes place when match Is touched
to gunpowder Ia merely chemical change,
during which there Is sudden evolution
of gases from the original solid.
1t has been calculated that ordinary
gunpowder on exploding expands about
5000 times or fills space this much lar
ger as gas than when In solid form.
When this chemical change takes place in
closed vessel, the expansion may be made
to do work like that of forcing O pro-
jectile along tho bore of the great gun or
test tube In the line OF least resistance.

twistinss OF the tail. They even climb the
stairs like the two legged inmates, and
again, when urged by the whim, take the

Thence from amid hanging crcepers and

shouts peer down upon the passerby with

rho n1uraerous Kea.

Scientists have been some time studying
the habits of the bird known as the kea,
or the mountain parrot, OF New Zealand,
which has acquired the remarkable habit
of attacking sheep and tearing open their
bucks by means OF its sharp and powerful
be.k for the purpose of abstracting the
kidney fat, which appears to be esteemed
as luxurious diet. It h,.s been suggested
that this peculiar habit or instinct was
developed by the bird getting the fat from
tho skins Of sheep that had been slaugh-
teretl, but this solution Is not very salts
factory, AS there appears nothing to con-
ncot the fat on the skins of sheep with live
animals. .lt
A more probable solution Of the origin
of the habit is as follows: In tho billy dis
tricts of New Zealand there is great
abundance of white moss, or lichen, which
exactly resembles lump of white wool,
at the roots of which are found small
white fatty substances, supposed by some
to be the seeds of the plant and by Others
to be grub which infested it, and these
are favorite food OF the kea. Probably
the bird, misled by Its resemblance, COM
menced an exploration in the backs Of
sheep, and this, proving satisfactory, orig
mated the new habit. In any event, it is
certainly one Of the strangest and most
peculiar instincts to be found in the whole
range OF natural history.-Nature.

remarked by the rough backwoodsmen
that the French ferTymau" had limo

they had only vague idea of the meaning
of political exile
General Count Bertrand Clausel, O fol-
lower of Napoleon, was another colonlst
who, feeling rather lonesome In the will

where he followed gardening. He drove
his market wagon into town and himself
sold the vegetables with the ''greatest
courtesy, according to the local chron-

was dethroned to mako room for Napo-

a WISE OLD HEN.
0sed the Goose a. g Boat and Watched
"a Her Adopted Babies,


The following remarkable instance, OF
che communication of ideas among the
lower animals Is narrated by Rev. @.
Ctway:
At the -four mills Of Tubberakeena,
near Clonmel, while in the possession Of
Mr. Newbold, there was goose, which by
some accident was left solitary, without
mate or offspring, gander or goslinas.
NOW, 1t happened, as is common, that the
millor's wife had set number of duck
eggs under hen, which In duo time were
tncubated, and of course the duoklings,
as soon as they came forth, ran with nat
ural instinct to the water, and the hen
was In sad quicker, her maternity urging
her to follow the brood, and her instinct
disposing her to keep on dry land.
In the meanwhile up sailed the goose,
and with noisy gable, which certainly
(being interpreted) meant Leave them to
my care, she swan up and down with
the duokiings, and when they were tired
with their aquatic excursion she CONSIGNED
them to the care of the hen.
The next morning down came again
the duoklings to the pond, and there Yves
the goose waiting for them, and there
stood the hen In her great illustration. On
this occasion we are not at all sure that
the goose invited the hen, observing her
maternal trouble, but it is a faot that, she
being near the shore, the hen jumped on
her back and there sat, the ducklings
swimming, and the goose and hen after
them. up and down the pond.
This was not solitary event. Day
after day the hen was seen On board the
goose, attending the duoklings up and
down In perfect contentedness and good
humor, num- bers of people coming to wit
ness, which continued until the ducklings,
coming to days of discretion, required no
longer the joint guardianship of the goose
and hen. New York Witness

CARDS 1000 men aged 90. 9Be OF them .live

"a per cent live to age 80 and per cent

Quincy, OF Tousilitis, and How It Should
BE Treated.
Quinsy, or tonsilitis, is an acute inflam-
nation of one or both tonsils. The infem-
nation Is commonly very "ectiye," caus-
ing great pain and ending In the for1na-
ton of matter.
Children, and especially young adults,
are most subject to the disease, for it is in
them that the tonsils are most fully de-
veloped and most prone to take on inflaln-
nation The glands gradually become
smaller In middle life and have more OF
loss completely disappeared In those who
have reached old age
The first Indication of trouble is usually
chill OF chilly sensation, such as many
people have come to recognize as sign Of
having caught cold This Is followed by q
little fever, with dryness and Stiffness
in tho throat, and little pain on swell
lowing.
The pain. which rapidly increases, is
continuous, but is greatly aggravated by
the chewing and swallowing of food On
looking into the throat the swollen and
Redeemed tonsil is readily seen. When both
tonsils are affected, they may often be
seen pressing against each other and seem
ingly blocking up the throat completely.
Sometimes the trouble may-apparently
at least-bc cut short by early treatment,
but usually the Inflammation goes on to
the formation and discharge OF IN abscess.
A person with tonsilitis should live ON
milk and broths- Indeed, there Is no
temptation to take solid food, not only
because Of tho pain in swallowing, but be-
cause tho appetite is lost
