The Power of LyIdite.

It is very difficult problem to ascer-
lain the numerical superiorityaof lya-
dita over othtr explosives. 1t is certain
~ six times more powerful than nitro
gly c"fin. which in turn is at least eight
times n.se powerful tl!an the same
weight nj &unpowder. Further, all eX
peIience shows that its effects are spread
ov n IL much greater area than in the
case of nitroglycerin or dynamite,
which are intensely local in their ac
tion. 1t has been frequently erroneous
ly stated that lyddite OF melinite may
be used as substitute for cordite or
gunpcwder in propelling Il projectile.
Such colld not be the case, however, as
the explosion takes place SO rapidly
that the chamber Of the gun would be
inevitably shattered.
Probably one of the greatest advan-
tages of lydlite is its absolute safety to
handle, which we can realize when we
recall its use in the arts for over CEN
fury without its powers being even sus-
pected. In this respect. combined " it'll
its slperlative destructive capacities,
lyddite approaches an ideal explosive
for shells and it is safe to predict that
1t will play an extremely important
part in the great military operations of
the future. ---Chambers Journal

Mother Love Conquered,

A pathetic incident which happened
recently in this city shows that strong
will can sometimes do more in combat
ing dread disease than all the skill of
the medical fraternity. An entire fam
lily, consisting Of both parents and four
children of tender age, was stricken
with malignant pneumonia. The wife
was apparently the worse sufferer, and
her case was given up by the doctors as
beyond hope. Meanwhile her husband
became suddenly worse and died. Ev-
erything that medical science could do
had been done for the wife without
avail, and after consultation the ply
sicians decided to take desperate risk
and tell her of her husbands death,
reasoning that the shock might kill her,
but also might arouse her ebbing
strength and assist in checking the
coma which was already presaging dis
solution.
The experiment was tried, and when
the devoted mother learned that her
death would leave her children without
protector, her mother love aroused her
last energies and she not only survived
the great shock of her life partner S
death, hut she actually recovered

Absolutely happy, yoa :i,e her look

teach her how to use it. Mrs. Alan
Gardner, on one of her big game shoot

native woman Il looking glass for a
Christmas pre- sent. She was so delight
ed with the first clear sight of her dusly
countenance that she sat through two
entire days and nights outside Mrs.
Gardner's tent gazing with rapture at
her own reflection.
On the morning Of the third day the
fame of the looking glass had spread
through the couatry, and row Of 40
Somali women. collected from far and
near, was engaged IN taking an admir-
ing turn at the magic mirror. When
Mrs. Gardner came on tho scene, she
was greeted by 40 feminine Somali
voices joined in chorus and each beg
ging for looking glass "all to her
self " But, alas, for the limitations Of
a sporting outfit, the dusky bellies were
obliged to content themselves with the
