 "Iiberia has to-day become an un- known quantity.
 "The people that remained had conl- pletely degenerated, were unclothed and demoralized.
 Let me tell of an individual case which came immediately under my own observation. In 1S47, just about the same time that Liberia was declaring it's independence, Spanish shaver was captured near Havana by British war vessel and she had a carr of three hundred slaves on board, besides the little son, aged about 12 years, of the Chief of Kabenda, a few miles north of the Congo River. The father had given this cargo of slaves, valued at about $50, 900 in Havana, to the Spanish super cargo as payment for the lads educa- tion and he was to be h; lded over to the Jesuit order for that purpose and returned to his home in Africa in ten years.
 Capture by the English gunboat, however, knocked out all these plans, and upon the arrival of the prize and her CaptOrS at hiHSSlO1l, JdlIldlCd LIle boy was turned over to the London Missionary Society. They themselves undertook his education free of charge and prepared him for missionary life.
 After the young fellow, enjoying all the time the benefits of Caucasian so- ciety, had graduated through the schools at Jamaica, he was sent to England, where the finishing touches were put upon him. ending with a three years college course at Oxford. where he left a full fledged M. A, B. A.. D. D.. and don't know what besides.
 Having been ordained priest of the Anglican Church with much ceremony. he was sent out as missionary for the London Missionary Society back to his own country, where 1t was hoped he would accomplish great things and es- pecially be able to convert all the slave l dealers.

should leave for his part of the coast.
 T was on board the English man-of- war that took the reverend young chief to his home. During the passage of about ten days he performed most Zealously the duties of chaplain on board, but the young man had been al most completely spoiled in England, and to us young fellows he appeared about as impudent and overbearing a fellow as ever you would wish to meet. Arriving at Kabenda he was taken ashore and with his belongings turned | over to the chief who was an entire stranger to him. his own father having died a short while after the boy was | captured by tLe English gunboat. "We left him there and took up our regular cruise.
 "On returning after two months ab- sence the first canoe to come alongside with chick.--s and fruit for sale was padded by our l; te acting chrplain.
 "He had completely fallen back into the habits of his tribe. He told us his people had no use for missionary and had advised him to take tumble to himself and be a good African again
 "He took the advice of his people and parted his raiment among them. He 1 had given away all his clothes and kept only a silk hat for his own wear He made his appearance in canoe with | this Oxford plug hat on and white shirt for a pair of brooches, buttoned behind. while another of his company wore only the clerical coat and an old naval cooked hat on his head.
 Poor Bunghalow never got anything more from his English friends, as they gave him up for a bad job.
 "Once away from civilized influences and surroundings. he had quickly de generated back to the savage state. Had he remained in Sierra. Leone he would perhaps have done fairly well, but he was too young and inexperienced to be let loose all alone in this fashion. "I know of another instance where an African had been sent from Eng land under somewhat similar condi- tions, but bringing with him a highly cultured white lady (charmed with the prospects of missionary life) as his wife. In two years she saw his com plete dennoralization and return to complete heathenism.

must save your powder just as you must save your coal in the steam en- zine. Hence, these gun powders are so composed that, when ignited, they will drive the bullet along the gun barrel, gaining in power as it goes, but so nice ly balanced in explosive action that the last speck of powder is not utilized un- til the bullet has reached the muzzle and is about to leave the gun.
 Thus a gun is really heat engine. But, as I have intimated, the rending power of some of these explosives is so great that the bullet cannot, so to speak, keep ahead of it. Before the bull accumulated gases behind it have in- creased so much in volume as to over come the lateral resistance of the bar rel, and the gun bursts.
 You hear people talking of the dan gers arising from the handling of dyna- mite. never could see that it was very dangerous to handle, in the ordi- nary sense of the word at least. I re- member once taking a quantity of dy- namite out in the woods near my iron mine up the State and trying to ex- plode 1t by such means as might enter into any accident likely to occur in general handling. We did it as an ob- ject lesson to the men as much as for anything else. We burned it, threw big rocks at 1t and tried other ways of exploding 1t, but we couldn't make it go off. We use lots of 1t for blasting purposes, but we never have had an accident. Of course, it produces fright full effects when exploded in conjunc- ton with some other high explosive
 Nitro-glycerine, on the other hand, is to be feared at all times. I have heard of a blacksmith who placed one drop of it on an anvil and then struck it a hard blow with a hammer. It must have been a hard blow. It blew out the side of the shop and made a big hole under where the anvil had stood and the blacksmith did not even need burial. But even this is not to be com pared to iodide of nitrogen It's ex. plosive power is equal to 4000 feet g second. That is, if you laid train of it 4000 feet long and exploded one end of the train, the explosion would be transmitted to the other end of the train in one second. I don't know but that under these conditions the cunu.
 
 cause the other end of the train to be. come ignited even sooner than in one second. That speed is greater than the accredited velocity of sound, which travels at the rate of 1400 feet a sec ond.
 In fact, there are explosives of sucr tremendous power that no one dares make but very small quantity at g time, and I doubt if they have eyer been seen outside of laboratories have made them, drop at a time. But oh, how unstable them arel Actually, have made explosives of this nature which have gone off when I yelled al them. I simply placed a small dror on table and shouted at it.

execution except at close range, ana a few dozen shots thrown away made little impression on a ships magazines. With the advent of modern ordnance, however, with sixty-ton guns and cost ly charges, the necessity Of accurate fire became imperative, and ordnance experts set about devising come scien- tific method of finding the range at sea.
 The Fiske ange-finder is based upon the well-known principles of land sur veying with the transit and engineers chain. If the surveying party come to a broad river whose width has to be de- termined, base line is measured along the bank, and the angles which this line makes with a mark on the oppo- site bank are measured by the transit. Then, knowing the length of the base line and the two angles, the distance across the river can be determined by trigonometry.
 Applying this to the range-f1nder, base line is carefully measured be- tween two points ncar opposite ends or the ship, and over each point range finder, answering to the engineers transit, is permanently set up. If the telescopes of the two finders are simul- taneously converged upon the same point on a distant object (slip, fortress or city) the observers will be in possess

ern States are trying their bestto
 start colonies of negroes in Mex
 J ico, but thus far they have not N met with very 1attering success.
 In discussing the recent aban- donment of one of the colonies the so ciety overhauled the reports and the experiences of the men who struggled their mightiest less than fifty years ago to found a great negro republic in Li- beria and gradually bring all of Africa under it's influence.
 Ine republic of Liberia on the west coast of Africa must be considered as one of the greatest philanthropic move ments in the history of the world. The members of the Episcopalian church, both in the United States and England, poured millions of dollars into the scheme. Negro youths of both sexes were taught trades and also the arts and sciences. Houses, stores, schools and churches were built for them. In fact, a city was brought into existence in a fertile country for their benefit. They were supplied with all needed utensils and machinery.
 For few years the projectors of the enterprise maintained white people there to train the negroes for their new duties. During this preparatory train ing and building up things went splen- didly.
 When the day came for the negroes to assume the direction of affairs and start out as a nation tn --ngliSh Gov ernment loaned them $500,000 and guar anteed independence to the new repub- lie It seemed as if everything must go we'll with the venture.
 Concerning the result of the expert ment after fair trial the conservative Encyclopedia Britannica in substance says: ''The experiment cen hardly be called a success. The $500, ,000 En~land lent the republic of Liberia is still lent. Not penny of either principal or interest has been paid. The people have not improved their conditions in the least and in many instances have returned to savagery."
 Perhaps the only man in San Fran cisco who visited the community during its brilliant rise and pathetic lapse is Captain George Jackson. Of the de tails of the experiment Captain Jackson is fully conversant, for he was in the British navy at the time, and did a great deal of special work aiding the new republic.
 In discussing the problem, Captain Jackson said: ITO tell all about the African colony it is necessary to gc back to the time when number of peo- pie in the United States and England were interested in the humane cause of freeing the black man and giving him a chance to do something for himself About 1917 the American Colonization Society was organized. In 1923 a tract of country in Western Africa was se- cured, and the first batch of colored emigrants was sent from the United States to a point near CapeMontserado. They left America under the most fa- vorable circumstances and auspices and with everything needful for a starting in colonial life.
 "But the story of Liberia has an al- together different ending. The new col onists inhabited country of boundIess extent with a soil rich in all the most valuable productions of the country, and they could have controlled the re- sources of a commerce of immense value to the other nations. They had
