LYDDITE,

Anything that will kill more men in war than other things have been in the habit of killing is interesting, and therefore the efficiency of the Lyddite shells thrown into Omdurman by the British artillery will attract much at tention How efficient they were is in dicated by the fact that 11S men were assembled in an iron mosque beside the Mahdi's tomb when Lyddite shell fell among them, leaving only twelve alive. Lyddite is manufactured from the principal ingredient of all coal-tar oils, carbolic acid. This is treated with nitric acid, the resulting product being picric acid, a terribly. explosive sub- stance. The powers of picric acid were well known, but difficulties in handling prevented it's use until the inventors of Lyddite solved the problem by fusing it and so increasing its power ten fold. There were many risks, but they were overcome, and fused picric acid or Lyddite, can now be easily handled. Burnt openly, Lyddite vanishes quick ly, with bright flame, but without violent explosion. It is only when con- fined and exploded by detonation that its destructive powers are exhibited. The shell in which it is packed for bombarding purposes is a, fairly long, conical one. It has a very thick base, to obviate danger of explosion from the concussion of firing, and carries it's fuse-hole at the nose. When the shell is fired, and arrives at its destination, the Lyddite explodes with an action so violent as to destroy adjacent objects more thoroughly, and for a larger area around, than any other explosive known, weight for weight. So terrible are it's effects that during the trials at Lydd-from which place the explosive takes it's name-no person was allowed within an area of eight hundred yards from the point at which the projectile was to burst. Within four hundred yards, so violent were the vibrations produced by the explosion of a large shell that many solid objects, such as
 masses of masonry, were reduced to
 dust.
 The Spaniards can thank their stars
 that the United States didn't throw Lyddite at them. That which was thrown hit them and damaged them enough.

we travelled several thousand miles al- together, most of it on foot, and when we got a chance to ride on a railroad We thought We were in great luck. Gondolas, or gravel cars with blanks put across them for seats, were con sidered luxurious accommodations for the enlisted men; rude hunks three feet deep, in box cars, were eagerly seized by the regimental officers, while if the general and his staff managed to get hold of a freight caboose they thought they were travelling with the very highest degree of luxury.

NOT .ENO UGH OUINTNE?

Several reasons have been given for the severe and prolonged illness of many of the soldiers who went to Cuba, and now we are told that they didn't have quinine enough. Dr. W. B. Pritch- ard says that much of the fatality from pernicious malarial fever in Cuba and elsewhere has been due to the fact that a great many of the surgeons, especial ly the volunteers from the New Eng land and Northern States, were not familiar with the heroic treatment nec- essary. They gave three and five, and sometimes ten, grains of quinine every two or three hours, when they should have given twenty grains at a dose, or even more, until the disease was check ed. To those who have practiced medi- cine North and South, and who are familiar with the difference between the malaria of the South and the so- called, or it may be actual malaria of the North, this statement possesses a peculiar significance. It also explains the frequency of relapses and the in creased virulence of the malarial poison from a prolonged stay and uncontrolled development in the system.
 Probably most of the malarious sol- diers think they have had enough qui- nine, but perhaps they haven't.

Blue surah was the material of dress shown below, whose arrangement was entirely novel. The lower parts of the sleeves and the yokes of bodice and skirt were cream lace over blue silk, and the front of the bodice was draped in surplice fashion, it's back being sim ply shirred at yoke and waist. In the upper part of the sleeves the silk was shirred full, and above this were fluffy ruffles of blue and black

three or four weeks. It has been the rule with boards of health generally throughout the country to refuse re- lease from isolation until one culture at least has shown that the bacill are no longer present in the throat. But in- Vestigations carried on in the Boston Health Department showed that very nearly one-third of such patients, if re- leased on the evidence of a single nega- tive culture, would still retain diph- theria bacilli in their throats, and would be, therefore, still source of possible menace to the public health. The new regulation requires two con- secutive negative cultures for the re- lease of diphtheria patients.

less elaborate, a fashionable touch of dressiness could have been added by means of bows. These are used freely, in new and in old ways. One ingenious bow combination is in black satin with corded edge. Each bow is of butterfly order. The connecting pieces by which the bows are strung together are mar rowed at their joining with the bows, are to be pulled out wide between the bows, and must not be drawn tight, but should be allowed to bag and curve: A tiny butterfly bow at one end goes under the chin. The connecting band passes about the throat, coming in front again and going under the first bow on it's way to the left shoulder. Under this shoulder Is the second bow, a little larger than the first and with dropping end. Under the arm and down the back goes the connecting band, to end at the opposite hip little to the front. Here is stunning rosette bow. Around the waist runs the band till the rosette bow is again reached, where is another rosette to match the other. A long end falls from the last rosette and is finished by a little bow that waves about.

It is rather surprising to read that in a city like Pittsburg Pennsylvania, where every quality of real estate has 8 money value, there should be twenty pieces of realty for which owners can- not be found. The properties in ques- tion range in size from 5x60 feet to COX 120 feet, and are located in eight diff ferent wards. Altogether they aggre- gate over two acres Some time in the past titles to these lands must have been in existence, but what has become of the titles or the persons in whom they were vested is what neither the city nor county officials have been able to discover.

HILL TRE PRESIDENT PREVHNT IT ?
1t Is quite difficult to arrive at any

pie are In possession OF the charges
not from Democratic sources alone, but
from the soldiers In the army and from
those Repu ubliean newspapers aud Re
publican statesmen who are prone to
tell the truth even when that truth

All the people demand is to hnow
the truth. This is both reAso BAble sEd
just, aud in refusing to grant this de
mand President Mckinley assumes the
responsibility OF shielding the guilty
and in assuming tina responsibility he
cannot escape the odium that Ia be
lieved to attach TO those whom b,
shields.
Whatever admiration he gained In
the conduct of the wAr-whRtever re

The simple aud effective method of
teaching English 70 the children OF Ital-
fans. Portuguese, Polish and German
Jews used Ia the north end schools Of
Boston might profitably be adopted by
other cities which are obliged to face
the fact shat within their borders are
thousands of foreign children who know
nothing Of tire customs, institutions ca
language Of this country. A writer in
the Boston Transcript thus describes the
method:
The children. within "a few days after
their arrival, are sent to the public
schools, US IA rule without compulsion,
and here they are first OF all taught the
English language. 1t is done by a sys-
tenn Of object lessons The teachers Ia
the elementary rooms are young women,
as men would not be patient enough to
accomplish the best results
The teacher may point to her eye and
say, This is my eve, " repeating II sew
sral times and requiring the pupils to
repeat it in unison. Other portions Of
the body are pointed out in q similar
manner, and then familiar objects in
the room are in the same way brought
to the attention Of the children.
Later. when they have made sufficient
progress in the language, it becomes de-
HirAble to teach the different lenses. To
accomplish this, a boy or girl il directed
20 run slowly round the room, when the
teacher and children say in unison,
THAT boy is running" repeating the
sentence several times. The boy is then
told 70 halt, and the teacher and pupils
say in unison, "That boy did rum"
again. That boy is standing still. "
"That boy can run, THAT boy is
walking, THAT boy walks fast, " II
can walk, II can run, III did walk, -
etc
These and other sentences, as they
are spoken, are written ON the black
board by the teacher, and the pupils
write them on their states. Thus they
are taught the language and taught 70
