Government is Conducting
Many Experiments
NOT ALL SATISFACTORY
Captain CrOZier Has Been Instructed
to Ascertain the Ingredients of
Liddite Used by the British Gov
ernment--An Invention.

New York, June pa dispatch to the
Herald from Washington says: Import
ant tests with thorite, a new high ex-
plosive, are being conducted by the board
of ordnance and Notifications at the San
dy Hook proving grounds. Little is
known at the war department of the
characteristics of the new explosive. 1t
is the invention of Professor futile Of
Oregon, who asserts that it is perfectly
safe and was willing some weeks ago to
put a red hot poker in a charge of thorite,
declaring it could be done without caus-
ing it to explode. 1t is believed to have
picric acid as it's base. Tests of the ex-
plosive by the inventor are said to have
been very satisfactory and it may prove
to be the material the army has been
seeking.
Besides thorite, the ordnance depart
ment of the arlny has been experiment.
ing with jovite, emmensite and dry and
wet gun cotton. 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. Captain William Crozier,
military attache of the American dele
cation to The Hague conference. was
instructed several weeks ago 10 stop III
England on his way home and ascertain
if possible the ingredients of liddite and
the secret of the fuse used by General
Kitchener's army in the Soudan with
such excellent effect. 1t is untrue that
he has been directed to contract for any
quantity of the explosive. Military Of
ficers in England ave apparently been
unable to secure all the information con-
corning the explosive the authorities
would like to have. 1t Is recalled that
emmensite. discovered in and used by
France, was kept secret, but this gov
eminent finally obtained information Of
it's ingredients and has been testing it
for some years at Sandy Hook. Tests of
jovite We're made Ivy the arlny officials
several years ago and were not very sue
cessful. The navy department has test
ed jovite With considerable success, and
if it keeps satisfactory it may be adopt
ed by the nava service.

ers sunk 10 the engagement, but
subsequently raised, and upon
which he places the value of 1926,

BILLY WALKER A WINNER
Belle de Mutt Nearly Succeeded
in Beating Him.
MADE A BRILLIANT KILL
Treacherous Weather Spoiled q Good
Days Sport-One Hare That Es-
capped Both Billy Walker
and Annie Rooney.

The regulation bad weather arrived
a few days ahead Of Sunday this time,
but stayed long enough to spoil another
days sport at West Side coursing park
yesterday. A hare that can beat Billy
Walker and Annie Rooney is pretty
fair stopper, but that is what one did,
took them a saunter Of two miles or
more then said goodbye.
Billy Walker proved the winner. Belle
de Mutt made bold effort to beat him,
and very nearly succeeded, but Billy
saved himself by one of his brilliant
kills. 1t looked as if Belle had him
beaten if the hare had lived few sec
onds longer. This is bitch that will
bear watching; any time she is put
down really good, there will be
Waterloo for the wise ones.
The second dog, Driver is green
one, son of Blind Mike Davey's great
old brood bitch, Fleet, dom of Delo-
RADIO, Gypsy M. and half dozen other
good ones. Driver has a nice turn of
speed and runs with great determine
ton. Smut ran great youngster, but
a frightful fall in his first did him no
good. He had quite a few friends at
one to two against Billy Walker, the
latter having had such a grueller in the
second round. But Smut wants a good
hare, which they didn't get, and Billy
never let him score. Joe Dawes Butte
should have gotten second money, but
he seems to lack experience or some
thing and rather takes his time in the
run-up, though he is lightning at close
work. This is another that will bear
| watching.
A majority of the hares ran very well,
! two escaping, but the cold, wet weather
of last week did them no good. Super
: intendent Morrison has completed the
I alley down the south side and ran the
hares into the boxes at the slipping
| corral, but the alley was only COM
pleted Saturday night and from now
! on the hares will be run through this
alley into the slipping corral and from
there through the chute and up the
field, two or three times a week. to
train them, using a couple of slow dogs
to make them hump" themselves for
| the escape.
An amusing feature of the sport was
an incurSion of desperadOeS aged from
