WHEN A BIG GUN GOES Off.

Scientific Men. It IL Said. DO Net. Know
All That Takes Place.
Not one man in 10, 900 has clear
idea Of just what happens when a big
cannon is fired. The physical manifesto
tions are numerous Even professors of
chemistry and physics are stumped
when they want to differentiate all the
gases set loose and the peculiar effects
they induce. Tho puff Of whitish smoke,
the fash Of fire, the dim image Of the
flying projectile, the roar and the reooil,
are all familiar, but back of these is q
complex mass Of phenomena most be-.
wildering to the mind Of any but an
artillery expert.
First, the cubes, disks, hexagons or
irregular Jumps of powder are chemical
ly transformed into powerful. expand
ing gas the instant firing takes place.
Then there are innumerable byproducts
that even chemists do not understand
The explosion Of gunpowder is divided
into three distinct stages called the
ignition, Inflammation and combustion
The ignition is the setting on fire of the
first grain. while the Inflammation is
the spreading of the fame over the sur
face 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 it becomes gas which
expands with frightful rapidity. The
SO called explosion that takes place
when match is touched to gunpowder
is merely chemical change, during
which there is a 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
larger as gas than when in a solid
form. When this chemical change takes
place in closed vessel, the expansion
may be made to do work like that Of
forcing projectile along the bore Of
the great gun or test tube in the line Of
least resistance. The hardest work
gunner is called upon to do is to stand
the tremendous shock. The forces exert
ed by these gases in expanding seem TO
radiate in all directions from the can,
non, as ripples arc caused by dropping
pebble in pool Of still water. As .
matter Of fact it has been discovered
that these lines Of forces are exceeding
ly complicated affairs and play very
queer pranks about the cannon. As
result few people know just which is
the safest or the most dangerous posi-
tion for q gunner to take beside his gun.
In the case Of the great l3 inch guns
on our monitors q position back Of the
gun is much easier than one nearer the

A Last Look.

London. May 27.-Remarkably i'm
pressive scenes were witnessed at
Westminster from two o'clock in the
morning, when the arrivals commenced
of those anxious to view the remains of
Mr.. Gladstone. The line formed was
continually augmented by all classes
of people. from peers, cabinet min
listers, members of the house of COM
mons, military and naval officers and
clergymen to eostermongers, old and
young, until at six o'clock, when the
doors were opened, the procession COM
menced to stream past the catafalque.
The latter had lighted candles at each
corner and large gilt cross at it's head.
About 1900 policemen were engaged in
guiding the people, and by three o'clock
$4,000 people had passed the coffin.
London, May 25.-The pall-bearers at
the funeral of Mr.. Gladstone will be the
prince of Wales, the duke of York, the
marquis of Salisbury, the earl of Kim
berry, the earl of Rosebery, the arch

LEGAL UMBRELLA COLLECTOR.
How n Persistent Woman LAWYER
Forced Her First
Success.

Some imprOmptu remarks at the
woman's suffrage meeting in Washing
ton by a woman lawyer from Montana
told in a graphic style her story of her
early struggles and her success. She
was New England woman by birth,
ard went west to practice. She was
the first woman lawyer in the state Of
Montana, and for three years she didn't
earn one cent. Finally she went to a
merchant and asked him to permit her
to collect his bills. He told her she
might have all he had, as there was
nothing in them, anyhow. She replied
that she was not a beggar, but law
yer eager to earn fee, and after som Z
conversation he promised that if she
would come again he would hunt them
up and give them to her. She went
again and again without success, he
declaring that he could not be both
cred. Finally, with great show of
anger, he added: "You had better COL
lect my umbrellas it was raining
furiously-"I have not single one left.
Everybody borrows, and no one re-
turns" She asked who had them, and,
obtaining the information, quietly left
the store.
Proceeding to one of the handsomest
houses in Butte, she rang the bell and
told the servant who opened the door
that she was law student in a certain
office, and had been employed by Mr.. -
to collect his umbrellas, and he had d.
rected her there. The umbrella was
promptly produced. At the next place
and the next there were equally ready
responses, but some very mad people.
The very idea Of employing lawyer
to collect umbrellas loaned by friend
to friend in friendly way!
Sh ereturned to her employer and
laid three umbrellas before him, and
he was so angry that he swore, but she
earned her first fee, 50 cents, and was
happy.
Her perseverance secured her other
work from the same man, and, as min
ing claims are the basis of most legal
work there, she has since received
cases involving hundreds of thousands
CT dollars, and has received fees as
high as $4,000, with contingent fees
lands, whose value she has not yet
ascertained.-N. Y. Mail and Express.

naval strength in the Pacific ocean, or
we will fall behind in the procession Of
the nations of the century; and prob
ably fall behind for all time in the
! march of civilization and progress.
Our institutions are now being unex-
pectedly tested, and the republic is rap
idly rounding into an epoch which will
bring to our constitutional government
of the people veal or woe; an epoch
which might have been avoided, averted
or delayed by sound diplomacy. In the
very near future these views of states
men will be outlined in congressional
debate. At present the conditions and
environments are known only in the
confidential conferences of statesmen,
in the capitol cloak rooms or in the pri-
vacy of their homes.
Ever since the order went to Admiral
Dewey to attack the Philippine islands,
the eyes of our diplomats have been
centered upon the orient, and but little
thought has been given to the fleet in
Cuban waters, the flying squadron or
the land forces which have been mobil-
izing at the various designated points
of rendezvous. The horizon of the ma
tons they have scanned, viewing the
peoples who are avariciously grasping
for future ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Our most
able statesmen believe that for self-pro-
lection alone, and with no primary
spirit of conquest, we should obtain
and maintain foothold in the orient
This is regarded as seli-evident fact
which needs neither demonstration nor
elaboration.
1t is fact, not for moment to be
overlooked, that France desires to be
the strongest and greatest power in
southeastern Asia. France has long
coveted the Philippine islands. Diplo-
matically, if not forcibly, France will
object to the permanent conquest of
those islands by this republic. Even
now France is bristling up and prepar-
ing her navy for aggressive action.
But now that this country mas gone
forward there will be no backward
step. Our people have not generally
paid any special attention to the Phil
ippine islands, but our statesmen have
SLuOleu ana learned ali ABOUT them.
They lie midway between China and
Australia. They contain $4,000 square
miles; and the British islands contain
only $4,000 square miles. The land on
the Philippine islands is almost fabu.
lousy fertile. The population is s,ooo,,
900, which is almost three times as many
people as there were in the American
colonies when they struck out for lib
erty and independence. They are good
people, too. They are learning the art
of war and are winning their indie
pendence. They are fully aware of the
value of personal and national liberty.
They are but little, if any, inferior to
the people whom Gomez and Garcia are
leading in Cuba. It was a war necessity
The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1898-06-02

that this republic should capture the
Philippine islands. We will always have
and maintain there coaling station, if
nothing more.
No nation in Europe would under
take to thwart us except France, and
she dare not. Fra ice has the second
greatest navy in the world, but Size can
not use her navy to enforce any demand
upon this country without encounter
ing other navies. There may be some
naval demonstrat tons in Asiatic waters.
but the fleets of Great Britain and of
Russia will also be there. Those DOW
erful nations would rather see the Phil
ippine islands in our possession, or I'M
der our protectorate, than in the power
of any other coun try. >
Right there lies the core of the argu-
ment of diplomacy. Right there we see
the kernel of the diplomatic nut. The
possible possession of the Philippine is
lands by this country, as the result Of
war with Spain, has constituted the
strongest argument for peace with the
powers of Europe: and yet few of our
people have realized that fact. It is on
this account that Spain has been una BILE
to secure European concert to aid her
in defending her Cuban possessions.
The powers of Europe would rather see
those valuable islands under the stars
and stripes than to see them wrested
from Spain by France. And France
has been plotting to make just that
move upon the slightest pretext.
Beginning war for the preservation
OF peace at its doors, this republic has
really entered upon an era of conquest
and marked an epoch in history; an
epoch which would have made Wash.
ington and Jefferson shudder could
they have foreseen it.
SMITH D, FRY.
The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1898-06-02

The fleet of Admiral Sampson, the fly
ing squadron, the regular army and the
volunteer army do not constitute the
entire sum total of cur national
strength, nor of our national purposes.
Circumstances are running away be-
You'd the primary intent and purpose of
President Mckinley.
We have always maintained a fleet in
Asiatic waters, and our naval station
there must be maintained. Clrcum-
stances are such that we cannot afford
to forever withdraw our battleships and
cruisers from Asiatic waters. We can
not live in our own shell like national
snail.
When this country abandons the
Asiatic station, it will he time for us to
abandon Alaska, and when we aban-
don Alaska we may as well make ready
to abandon our Pacific coast states. In
brief, we must be one OF the foremost
nations of the world in every respect,
or we will sink out of sight and deserve
the sneers and snubs which have here
tofore been put upon us by the powers
OF the old world. We must be narrow or
we must broaden out.
To-day we have not a place in Asia
where we may stop over night and be
welcome. Because we are at war with
Spain there is no harbor open to US
along the eastern coast of Asia, and
there is no coaling place tor the ships of
our Asiatic squadron. The American
citizens who first face this fact must
do so with deep humiliation, but it is
true that we are not allowed to-day to
enter Asiatic harbors for food, coal or
any other of the necessities of life
which may be called contraband Of war.
Our humiliation is deeper when we
note and acknowledge the fact that our
republic is the only nation of the first
class that can be kicked out OF Asia in
this unceremonious manner. All of the
European nations have coaling stations
and commercial footholds over there.
But our naval vessels had to get out
and fight for foothold, or else steam
across the Pacific ocean 10000 miles.
When our people understand this fact
they will say unanimously that it is not
right.
From the beginning OF the Cuban war
the American republic has been sus-
pected by European nations OF having
sinister designs of conquest. There
was no such intention on the part of our
people, nor in the mind of the admin
istration. But circumstances have al
tered conditions so radically, and in
tcrnational developments have been so
marked, that it became necessary for
us to take possession of the Philippine
islands; not merely for the present, but
for the future. The war with Spain has
brought about this result as one Of the
unforeseen conditions of the times.
Some of our statesmen who have Bit
terly opposed the annexation Of the
Hawaiian islands now favor action on
that line. It is daily more and more APP
parent that we must have military and
