PLAIN CASE OF HORSE SENSE.
Some of the Things Jim Key Is Doing at
the Exposition

Philadelphia, Nov. 14.-There Is m
exceedingly clever actor at the Export
exposition. In every sense of the word
he is "the whole show" for, while he
goes through n one-act play. he takes
all the interesting parts himself. He
doesn't say word, and yet his acting
is so lifelike and clever that II secures
applause every few minutes. This
clever actor Is known as Beautiful
Jim Key, and he Is dark bay, well
groomed horse. right from Tennessee.
Some of the things Jim does are lit
tie short of marvellous. He bows to
the audience as he comes on the
stage, and then opens school by going
to n closed box, opening It with his
mouth. and taking out a brass bell,
ringing It around the stage. Then he
picks out any letter of the alphabet
the audience calls for. The letters are
printed on cards and are arranged on
a sort OF frame. Jim does not mako
a single mistake in his work, and even
pulls out the queen OF spades and
other playing cards when asked for by
the audience. He added and subtract
ed and multiplied. and then wrote his
name on blackboard.
Jms writing is bad; there can I've
no doubt about this: but it is as good
as that of some prominent people. and
legible to those who are used to read

A Button Code.

When Major Putnam Bradlee Strono
went out to the Philippines he smoke

utterly Ignorant of the rudiments of
that polygot language known as the
Tagal dialect. He has picked ND more
or less of 1t by now. When he first got
there he acquired servant, or rather
the servant acquired him. Somehow
or other, the servant, who was a bright
eyed Filipino, attached himself to the
major and couldn't be shaken off. He
didn't speak work of English or
Spanish, and his Tagal talk was unin-
telligible. Therefore, he was no help.
and could only surmlse what was
wanted. The major dressed him up in
an improvised livery. The coat of this
livery was garnished with a hal,
dozen glttering brass buttons. Will
studying this impressive array of but
tons an idea came into the majors
head, and he Immediately put 1t into
effect. He took the boy solemnly aside
and tied to the topmost button of his
coat n cigarette. To the next button
he attached cigar. To another he tied
small cup out of which coffee was
drunk. To another he tied a glass
which was used to serve cooling drinks,
and so ON, When he had the boy prop.
erly decorated he stood back and sur
veyed him with satisfaction. Then. by
means of signs, he conveyed the idea
to his newly acquired servant that each
button meant specifically the article at.
tached thereto. Then he removed the
articles and began experiments. 1t
didn't take the native long to realize
the system, and after that it was plain
sailing. 1t was n case of touch the

Relative Deadly Power of Various

Relative Deadly Power of Various
Dangerous Compositions.
Readers Of the daily papers arc con-
stantly seeing paragraphs stating that
new explosive more powerful than
anything previously known has been
invented by Prof. So-and-So. Many of
these statements may be taken with a
grain of saltpeter, but it Is an undoubt-
ed fact that high-power explosives are
very numerous. However, the explo-
slves that the word hears most about
are nearly all "propeiling" agents and
used not to displace large masses of
earth and rock, but to propel projec-
tiles from guns and rifles. The terrible
explosives which are capable Of tear

the strain caused by such substances
would be far too great in the large
charges needed for heavy guns
The practical value Of amy explosive
depends entirely upon the object to be
attained. Explosive force Is not in the
least the same thing as explosive effect.
The anarchist, with his little nitrogly-
cerin bomb comfortably tucked away
in his pocket, may not be able to do
half as much with it in the way of de-

under certain circumstances by an en-
tirely inexperienced person with an
agent of far less explosive power.
