GRAFTON. From this also We get the
general effect which such an explosion
would produce on the surrounding
country. If pound of smokeless pow
der in exploding blows a hole in the
ground as large as the Heidelberg tun-
it does not follow that million pounds
would make a hole 100000 times the
diameter os the tun. Probably there
would. be a new Yosemite in the neigh
borhood of the explosion, but the force
of the explosion would lose rather than
gain with it's bulk. The terrific earth
waves spoken of would do most of the
damage. The devastation would be
awful. Nothing has occurred from
which one can draw a parallel to con-
vey an idea of the fearful ruin which
would ensue If the explosion occurred
near an estuary, tidal wave would be
created that would annihilate the near
by shipping and would cause disaster
greater than the famous Lisbon earth
quake. IN such an event the condi-
ton would be enhanced by the peculiar
behavior OF explosive waves near a
water course. An explosion under water

Af1ILLlON POUNDS OF CORDITE.
Uncle Sam Buys Enough SmOkeless Powder to Blow Up
the Earth.

The great success of smokeless pow
der during the taking of Santiago de
Cuba has inspired the government with
such regard for its usefulness in war
fare that 100000 pounds are to be or
dered to replenish our arsenals and
men-of-war. Smokeless powder is in
itself a very interesting commodity, but
when the immense mass contained in
100000 pounds is considered with re-
gard to what might be called its COL
lective capabilities, the interest in the
subject becomes cumulative. One is apt
to wonder where all of this highly ex-
plosive material is to come from; how
it is to be made and how quickly; how
far it will go towards equipping the
United States army; what its collect
i've force; what it would do to the land
scape in general if exploded all at
once.
Smokeless powder is approximately a
dozen years old. The first letters patent
for its manufacture were issued to a
Frenchman named Veille in 1885, A
number of different kinds have been
patented since then, but the one which
has given the most satisfaction in the
United States and Great Britain is

Golfers Opinion of Their DISPOSE
! ton.
Golfers Weekly: The problem of
! the Philippines, which has been left to
7 the commission for solution, cannot
but prove troublesome, because the
| two parties will approach it with con-
ficting interests and from opposite
points of view. The Spaniards will
wish to reduce to a minimum the scope
of our permanent connection with the
archipelago, and will strive strenuous
! ly to avert our permanent retention of
even the city and harbor of Manila.
| They would like to deprive us of any
! foothold in LuZon, and will endeavor
to put us off with a coaling station in
some other island. Should they be able
to persuade a single one of the preSi-
dents plenipotentiarieS to vote with
them, they would be able to rob us,
practically, of the whole fruit of Ad-
miral Dewey'S victory, but for the for
tunate fact that no arrangements made
by the commission will be valid unless
ratified by two-t thirds of our federal
senate. We take for granted that Mr..
Mckinley will appoint no commissioner
whose views of the magnitude of Amer
lean interests in the Philippines and
in the far east do not coincide with
his own. Surprising, then, that the
the retention of the whole archipelago,
or, at least, of the island of Luzon,
and supposing, also, that the Spanish
commissioners all vote against such a
proposal, we should find ourselves in
deadlock, which could be got rid of
only in two ways, namely, first, by a
second resort to the arbitrament of
war and, secondly, by an offer to pay
Spain reasonable sum to accede to
our proposal. There is, of course, a
precedent for such an offer on our
part. In 1S4S, although Mexico was
PROSTATE at our feet, and we could
have annexed the whole of its territory
by conquest, we voluntarily offered to
pay for its northern provinces a con-
siderable sum, of which the Mexican
central government stood in urgent
need. AS between a second recourse to
war and the sale of the Philippines
for an amount of money which would
relieve her pressing eXigencies, Spain
would not hesitate an hour, and it may
be that to a solution of this complexion
we shall come at last.

STORY OF PONCE.
Old But Pretty Fairy Tale Reto1d
In Golfers.

Edgar Saltus in Golfers Weekly:
Ponce is an old story today, yet still
a pretty one. In it's history is fairy
tale which has the merit of being true.
In the years when time went slower,
a page lounged through the leisures of
Ferdinand's court. He was young, i'm
pudent and abominably good looking A
princess smiled and beckoned That
was enough. There and then he was
sent to another world, to a better one,
to the tropics which Columbus had
found. He landed at Boriquen, assisted
with easy gallantry in eliminating the
natives, assisted also in gathering the
gold which they left. Between the lines
there are two decades. Meanwhile
Boriquen had been christened Puerto

MAKING CoRDITE.

produces three separate and distinct
decorations perfectly audible to the ear
of a person standing on shore. One
travels through the air, one travels
through the water and one travels
through the earth. 1t is a triple effect
which can become terribly destructive
by reason of this three-fold nature.
MIGHT LAUNCH A NEW PLANET.
Every one remembers how in Poes
Balloon Hoax the adventurous aero
naut, Hans Pfall, started his airship
on its trip to the moon by exploding
under 1t an enormous quantity of
gunpowder. The explosion hurled the
balloon high above the earth and as
far as the pseudo-scientists were con-
cerned gave a sufficiently good send
OF to the enterprise. One can imagine
something of the kind being done with
the million pounds of governmental
cordite. In short, supposing that the
great mass of the powder could be
confined properly in an immense
mortar and could be made to shoot a
great bullet into the sky, how far
would the missile travel? Doubtless
this could be calculated as far as our
own atmosphere is concerned; but haV-
ing once reached that upper region
where the attraction of the earth
ceased to exert it's influence, the mis-
sile would go on and on in the direc-
ton of the zenith until it happened
within the influence of some other
planet. AT any rate such a missile
would travel with amazing rapidity.
The muzzle velocity of cordite is 2400
feet per second in siX-inch gun, while
it's pressure on the gun barrel is Il
tons per square inch. Such a condi-
ton would be enhanced greatly in our
speculative mortar. The missile would
have gone about 80 miles during the
first minute of its fight and hence
would be already on the outskirts of
atmospheric effect. 1t would in fact
become shooting star drifting about
aimlessly i'll space until sooner or later
it came back to our own or drifted into
some other world
Allowing for various shortages in
handling, shrinkages, etc, one million
pounds of SmokelesS powder will load
approximately 1876 000, 600 Krag-Jorgen-
sen rifles. One million rifle cartridges
loaded with smokeless powder would
weigh three tons less than if loaded
with black prismatic powder. This
means that just so much less weight
will have to be carried by our troops.
The difference in weight and the CORE
spending difference in bulk serves
greatly to increase the capacity of the
magazines as WELL Even as it is it
will require 100000 pounds of the
powder to fill all the magazines of our
forts, men-of-war, and navy yards
The contracts for making the explo-
sive will be divided among the various
powder making firms of the country
1t will take these firms three months
to make the amount required. The
cost to the government will be so cents
a pound or 100000 for the whole duan-
tity. THEODORE WATERS

Rico. Incidentally the page had grown
old. Whether he regretted the princess
is problematic That he missed his
good looks is clear. In an effort to re-
cover them he took a trip. The story
of Eldorado had not yet been told. But
another story, equally, if not more Sc
ductive, was current then. 1t was to
the effect that somewhere nearby were
the fountains of eternal youth. In
search OF those waters he sailed. The
land which he reached was so rich in
flowers that he called it Florida. But
OF the waters not a trace. And yet,
may 1t not be that the legend of them
typified fame? For it was that which
he did find. His name was Ponce de
Leon, and it was he who founded
Ponce.

NO STATE CAMP FOR 1898.
Governors Decision Received With Re
 gret by Local Soldiers.


 gret by Local Soldiers.
 An order coming from the adjutant generals office announcing the fact that no state encampment would be held this year was promulgated last night. This decision on the part of the states chief executive was arrived at Wednesday evening after a long con- sideration of the question. He inspect ed Camp Haven iri company with As sistant Adjutant General Sanders, Gen. eral Frost, General Haven, Surgeon General Phillips, Major Rockwell, sur geon of the First regiment, and Lieu tenant McCook, assistant surgeon. General Hawley joined the party during their tour of inspection.
 In an interview with a Hartford Courant representative Governor Cooke said: "The newspaper stories have eX- aggerated the state of affairs. Many are sick, but all things considered, the camp is in better condition than I fear ed. It does not seem advisable to send fresh troops to camp this fall"
 No official announcement of the gov ernor's decision had been made at the armory last night. The men had all iSCto IIlC ilCWppopCl iCpo1lSs iloWCNClj and were in the main thoroughly de- jected The failure to be called out during the war aroused great regret, but this was largely lost sight of when the prospect for the annual state camp became known. The postponement was received with a half hope that camp might still be held the latter part of the present month.
 The decision of Governor Cooke de- stroyed this last hope, and the men have now only to unpack the cases and boxes collected in heaps at the armory Many of the men are pleased at the turn affairs have taken, but large number greatly regret that the camp of '9S has become a phantom.
