The outside explosion theory was at

Possibly some of the discoveries made
by the divers may tend 10 that direction,
but even assuming that they are all they
are said to be, they are far from conclu-
sive. That some of the boxes of powder in
the magazine were intact is very far
from showing that the magazine did not
blow up. PROFESSIONALLY there is a
ssrong desire on the part of certain ele-
ments to have the outside explosion
theory turn out to be true. The eyplana-
ton of this in the case of the Cubans
domiciled at Key West is plain enough,
for it would be very likely to bring on
States and secure the freedom of Cuba.
But there are other elements that wish
the same thing, who are Influenced by
motives not quite SO evident. War is so

difficult to understand why anybody

More disquieting than anything that
the divers have discovered in their ex-
plorations of the hull ofsthe Maine are the
seriousness and sense of responsibility
which Senator Morgan manifested in his
discussion of the proposition to tack a
recognition of Cuban belligerency on to
an appropriation bill, Heretofore the
Senator has seemed to be spelling for a
fight. But on Wednesday he modified his
warlike spirit sufficiently to oppose going
to war indirectly. Evidently he has
begun to take war much more seriously,
and for the reason, it is to be feared,
that there is much more danger of it.

$l.30. American Book Company, New
York. Cincinnati, and Chicago This
new astronomy is designed to meet the
present requirements of schools and stu
dents for a practical and scientific text
book in this important and most inter-
esting study. OF the authors ability to
write an ideal work on the subject, which
should be at once simple, scientific,
practical, and interesting, there can be
no question. In addition to his former
work in the United States Astronomical
Observatory ct Washington. and as Direc'
tor in the Amherst College Observatory,
he is well known to che public as leader
of two solar eclipse expeditions, under
the auspices of the United States Govern
lnent, one to the west coast of Africa, and
one to Japan, and as leader of another
astronomical expedition to Japan, organ
lied by Amherst College.
The Illustrations are an important feat
ure of the book. Many of them are SO in
geniously devised that they explain at
glance what pages of mere description
could not make clear. They include
scenes from the authors own laboratory
and from his expeditions, diagrams, es
peoiaIly invented for this book, and repro
auctions from photographs by Barnard

cal photography The fine colored plates
are a particular feature of the book, ont

POWHATAN PIPES.
Made From q Peculiar Kind of Virginia
Clay and Made Sweet by Fire.

clay ana MADE sweet FIRE.
The old coasting captain was gazing
upon a crudely shaped red clay pipe
which he smoked at the end of long,
many jointed reed stem, while he filled
the ears of the observant Jerseyman
with its praises.
"If you want the sweetest pipe in
the world, he said "you must get one
of these. They are the original Pow
hatan pipes, made in POwhatan county,
Va, out Of a peculiar blue clay which
is found there in little nodules and fin
ished in a peculiar way.
1.-THE genuine Powhatan pipe can
never be found north of Baltimore, and
it is easier to get one in Norfolk than
in Baltimore. If you begin smoking
one, you will discard your meerschaums
and brier woods and smoke nothing
else. When it gets strong, you merely
put it into the fire and burn it sweet
again. The imitation POwhatan pipes
would crack to pieces if you try to burn
them sweet, but the genuine can be
thrust in safety right into the bright
Goals, although, of course, it is better
to let them heat more gradually"
Under the stimulus of this praise the
Observant Jerseyman sent TO a friend in
Norfolk for half a dozen of the pipes.
After time he received them, with a
bill for 10 cents for the pipes and So for
the trouble Of finding them.
IF you had not told me that the pipes
sold two for a quarter" his friend
wrote, Il should never have got the
right kind for you. went to almost
every tobacconist in Norfolk hunting
for them. Each one showed me pipe
which looked about the same as these,
but was only 10 cents. Finally, one
day, after L had about given up the
search, happened TO mention it to a
longshOreman. There is only one shop
in Norfolk, he said, where you can get
the genuine Powhatan pipe. That is a
little place down along the river front.
He gave me the address, and there I
found them
The observant Jerseyman has smoked
the Powhatan pipe many times since
then, and he still believes the old cap
tain's praise was warranted. On the
caution label which came about each
pipe it is said that the peculiar quail
ties of the genuine pipes are due to the
fact that they are finished by hand pol
ishing instead of a glazing, thus leav
ing to the clay all of its natural porosi-
ty and absorbent qualities,
