An enthusiastic amateur photog-
rapher of Phoenixville is Marion Lyt-
tons. His pride has been rather cost
ly camera, which when not in use he
kept in third-story room Of his home.
For over week past Mr.. Lyttons has
been too busy otherwise to take pic
lures, but the other morning he decided
to go out and secure some views. When
he picked up his camera he was sur
prised to find half-dozen bees flying
about it. AS he proceeded through the
room with the camera in his hand a
whole army of the insects came out in
line out of small opening in the
black box cover. Then the owner
placed the camera on table and start
ed an investigation, which he gave up
when the truth flashed upon him that
whole army of the insects came in
through the open window, had made a
hive out of the camera. The bees have
been dismissed as tenants, but the
camera will have to be overhauled be-
fore any more views can be taken

TESTING EXPLOSIVES
New and Deadly Compounds Being
Experimental With.
Army Board Looking for an Expio-
sive That Will BE Safe TO Han
die and he Powerful In
It's Eject.

| Important tests with thorite, a new
high explosive, are being conducted by
the board of ordnance and Notifications
at the Sandy Hook proving grounds.
Little is known in the war department
of the characteristics of the new ex-
plosive. 1t is the invention of Prof.
Tuttle, of Oregon, who asserts that it is
perfectly safe, and was willing some
weeks ago to put red-hot poker into
O charge of thorite, declaring it could
be done without causing it to explode.
1t is believed to have picric acid as its
base. Tests Of the explosive by the in
ventor are said to have been very salts
factory, and it may prove to be the
material the army has been seeking.
Besides thorite the ordnance depart
ment of the army has been experiment.
ing with jovite, emmensite and wet and
dry guncotton, paying more attention
to the last-named explosive than to any
other. So far none of them has given,
the results desired before adoption for
service use.
Capt William Crozier military at
tache of the American delegation to The
Hague conference, was instructed sew
! eral weeks ago to stop in England on his
way home and ascertain If possible the
ingredients of liddite and the secret Of
the fuse used by Gen. Kitchener's army
In the Sudan with such excellent ef-
feet. 1t is untrue that he has been di-
rected to contract for any quantity of
the explosive. Military officers in Eng
land have apparently been unable to
secure all the information concerning
the explosive the authorities would like
to have. 1t is recalled that emmensite,
discovered in and used by France, was
kept secret, but this government final
ly obtained information of it's ingredi-
ents, and has been testing 1t for some
years at Sandy Hook.
Tests of jovite were made by the army
officials several years ago and were not
very successful. The navy department
has tested joyite with considerable sue
cess, and II it keeps satisfactorily 1t
may be adopted by the naval service.

WON'T GIVE MODELS AWAY.
ships at Paris After Exposition Is
Over Not Well Received.

1t has been suggested that models of
ships Of war, which form an attractive
feature to visitors at the navy depart
ment, be presented to the French gov
ernment after the exposition in Paris
next year. The proposition If made
seriously will not be SO considered.
The models are of great value, having
been made by experts at the Wash
ington navy yard, each costing about
$4,000. They are accurate reproduc-
tions in miniature of the various types
of war vessels, and afford many people
their only opportunity of seeing just
what warship looks like.
This Is especially true when the mod
els have been displayed in inland cit
les such as Omaha, where they formed
the most attractive feature of the gov.
ernmental exhibit at the exposition in
that city. They create a greater in
terest in the service and have been the
best investment the navy department
has made for the educational system
which inspires greater appropriations
for the navy.
No good reason beyond an excitable
benevo<ece has been given for pre-
senting these models to the French
government, to whose people they
would not have the interest which they
claim from Americans.

II Grew on Sun day.

In country town not far from New
York an old-fashioned preacher had ex-
horted his flock one Sunday not to read
the Sunday newspapers. On the follow
ing Monday he was stroldng through
the market place when he spied some
unusually fine asparagus, vegetable
of which he was almost gluttonously
fond, in the stall of one of his parish
toner's.
"Mr. Smith," said the parson, 81 will
buy some of your asparagus, If 1t is not
too dear"
Now, Smith was q confirmed reader
of his Sunday newspaper, and the ser
man had not pleased him at ALL He de-
cided to play joke on his pastor. More
over, he had sold his asparagus already,
though he said not word about that.
II am sorry, DOCTOR" said the crafty
Smith, "but would not like to have it

claimed the preacher in surprise. II

'Oh, it's all right that. way" said
Smith, "but, you see, picked 1t only
early this morning. 1t sprang up and
grew on Sunday."-N. Y. Tribune.

"Wen, l guess, Elizabeth" said Mr..

some are not"
"Well, Ezra" said Mrs. Billtops, 'if
you can hnd some quiet sanitarium
where can go this summer want to 60
there instead of to the seashore."
And this was all on account of the
children. The hour was 8: 30 p. m, and
the smaller children had Just gone to
bed after q day Of unbroken and unfag-
ging uproar and activity. The noise Of
planning mill would have been as the
buzzing of lazy bees in summer gar
den compared with the noise the
children had been making all day long.
The silence fell now, cool and grateful,
after the turmoil Of the day, but the
reaction had left Mrs. Billtops little
limp.

"You are" said Mrs. Billtops, "but I

said Mr.. Billtops, "and have never
heard you speak of it before. I don't
see how you can possibly stand 1t, and
I'll look for some good quiet sanitari-

And then they settled down on either

their hearts for the children that had
been given to them, and who were now
sleeping quietly.-N. Y. Sun.

Making Havana HeaIthrul.

The deaths in H,vana during the
month of May numbered GOT, while in
May, 1893, they numbered 2,469. Even
the fact that year ago Havana was
a blockaded city cannot explain this
great discrepancy. The Spaniards
have always contended that they suf-
fered comparatively little from the
blockade, and in making this assertion
they probably did not overstate the
real facts. The decrease in mortality
cannot be the result of chance, though
climatic conditions undoubtedly have
been better this year than last. But
the main cause for the improvement has
been the betterment of sanitation. II
the American military administration
accomplished nothing else to the ad-
vantage of the people, its great work
in improving the sanitary conditions
of city that was once pest-hole
should win for II the gratitude and re-
gard Of all Cubans. ~ Times.

AN INTERESTING MAP.
To BE Presented to Admiral Dewey
Shows Manila's Fall
in 1852.

Upon his return to this country Ad-
miral Dewey will be presented with an
old map of Manila and Cavite, which
will be of special interest to him. 1t
is owned by local book dealer and gives
a representation of the reduction of
Manila and Cavite by the British fleet
and army in 1862. The forces were un-
der the direction of Rear Admiral Cor
nish and Brig. Gen. Draper, and after
the fall of the place the Spaniards were
compelled to pay heavy indemnity
The position of the British fleet in the
harbor on two successive days is shown,
and portion of Manila and the shores
of the bay is also portrayed. The map
was engraved in London in 1764 and Is
in an excellent state of preservation.

Forest of strange Trees.

The most extraordinary forest in the
world was discovered by DR.. Welwitsch
and occupied tableland some six miles
In width, between 300 and 400 feet above
the sea, near the west coast of Africa,
The popularity of the trees of this for
est is that, though their trunks are as
much as four feet in diameter, they at.
tain the height Of only one foot. No
tree bears more than two leaves and
these attain length of six and a
breadth of two feet. The flowers make
gorgeous crimson clusters.--N. Y. Sun.
