HIGH EXPLOSIVES.
Magazines for Their Manufacture to
Be Built Along the Hudson.

BE Built Along the Hudson.
Factories and magazines for the
manufacture and storage of high ex-
plosives are soon to be built by the
Navy Department. The plans call for
an expenditure of more than $1,0O0,000,
which has been appropriated by Con-
gress. During the war the need of a
magazine at a convenient distributing
point was felt severely; that at Fit.
Lafayette was overtaXed, and at best
only capable of supplying 1000 rounds
a day, most of which was for the guns
of the secondary batteries.
The largest of the new magazines
will be built on the Palisades near
Edgewater and almost opposite Grant s
tomb. 1t will have a frontage of sew
eral hundred feet on the river and will
be built to the edge of the cliff. The
site selected is away from factories
with tall chimneys, which are consid-
cred dangerous. Several large build
ings are to be erected. They will be
used for storing ammunition and as a
laboratory for testing materials for
guns and toPpedoes. There will also
be a building used solely for expert
mental work, and a large plant for the
manufacture of all kinds of powder
Most of the buildings will be Of solid
construction, iron, steel and stone being
the material used The smaller build
ings will be made of corrugated iron
Several piers extending into the water
about 300 feet will be built. The river
is to be dredged to a depth sufficient
to permit the largest battleships to be
moored to the piers, where ammunition
can be taken direct from the store
houses and placed in the magazines OF
the vessel This will do away with the
delay of handling the charged shells
and the explosives many times and the
dangers surrounding reshipment
When the plant is completed it will
have, it is planned, capacity sufficien
to supply high explosives to the entire
navy, and great enough to assemble
nearly all the fixed ammunition anC
charged shells needed. 1t will cost, i
is expected, about 100000; and worl
may be begun within a few months
Another plant may be erected near thu
naval proving grounds at Indian Head
Neither will be dangerous to the prop
erty of the neighborhood.-New Yorl

HERE'S A FLYER.
"Torpedo" Bicycle Which, 1t s lain

"Torpedo" Bicycle Which, 1t 8 LAIN
ed, Will Go Over a Mile Minute.
Camille Jenatzsy, a Belgian, has in
vented a torpedo bicycle which, it is
said, will do better than a mile min
ute. The machine is pointed fore and
aft like cigar, with polished sides and
apertures at the top through which the
heads of the crew poke up as if rising
out of a coffin The steel cone is for
the purpose of protecting the men who
guide the machine from the rush of
air which at the pace the machine is
capable of is not only terrifying, but
dangerous The pointed front pierces
the atmosphere as a projectile impelled
by a thirteen-inch bore cannon, the
gradual broadening of its width con
siderably lessening the enormous wind
resistance as well.
The motors are entirely concealed in
side of the cigar, only the lower part
projecting on the under side. The
riders have pedals with which to start
the machine in motion. The motors
are electric, but what contrivance is

"But you're worthless, aren't you"

Then the attorney took another tack.

The attorney here fastened an eye
which cleaned with triumph on the
jury and nailed the boy with a glance
from the other and said: Isn't it true
that your father doesn't adO enough
work to prevent his becoming called
worthless"
The boy had chafed under these I'M

Few Die in Tasmania.

If the statement of Harry Benjafed,
a health officer in Tasmania, is exact,
that country must be conducive to long
life and it's cities healthy to live in. He
says that the population of Hobart and
its suburbs is 10000. and that in 1898
the total number of deaths was SCI, or
about IA in every 1000. He says,
further, that of the SCI persons who
died 3S5 were more than 60 years old.
representing 91a per 1000 of the deaths
of children and all others under 80
years old. He believes he is justified in
challenging any other city in the world
to produce equally favorable figures,
particularly the small figures for
deaths under 60 years of age. Tas-
mania has been under British control
for about one century, and a large pro-
portion of its population is native-born
Of British parentage.-New York Press.

HOOSIsR LANDMARK GONE.
Porter County's Primitive Temrle of
Justice Torn Down.


The demise of Hoosierdom's oldest
and most unique public building, Por-
ter County's first temple of justice.
took place in the business center of
Valparaiso in broad daylight not long
ago.
The history clustered about this EN-
bryonic legal sanctuary of the pioneer
world of Northern Indiana reads like a
fairy tale. The first session of the Cir
cult Court ever held in Porter County
commenced the first week in October,
1896. at the home of John Saylor, just
across the street from the present
courthouse. Judge Samuel G. Sample
seated himself with great dignity be-
hind little table on which were
placed a few law books, and in the
presence of about forty men declared
court to be in session. The grand jury
strolled out of the stuffy courtroom
and was obliged to hold its delibera-
tons under a large oak tree in the
wood close by. The members were
seated on the ground, and log fire
was built to impart warmth and cheer
to the dismal session. Not one of those
that made up the first grand and petit
juries is now living. The outdoor SEES
sions were a necessity for some time
but soon public sentiment began tC
change The people wanted more com
modious quarters in which to hole
their sessions. and in 1887 a subscrip
ton paper was circulated to raise the
funds necessary for building a court
house. and the munificent sum reached
81, $50.
