BEFORE COMMISSIONERS bOfD
AND HELD FOR THE UNITED
STATES COURT-A PITTSBURG
SUSPECT-THE BONAR CASE AT
BENWoOD.
A party of eighteen suspicious look
ing strangers were arrested by the
police of Benwood early yesterday
morning, and after an investigation
had been made, four were held and
NE others were released. Three of the
men, who were suspected Of being i'm
plicated in the recent robbery OF the
postofice and general merchandise
store at Coon Island, were brought to
this city and taken before Commission
err George. E. Boyd during the after
noon. They were committed to Jail to
await hearing before the United
States Court.
The Benwood authorities think the
prisoners are the right parties in the
case, as they are the same men that
sold to John Lubic and other parties
about $50 worth of shoes and under
wear for S. last Saturday, and who re-
turned to the city yesterday morning
to fulfill their promise to sell to Mr..
IIubic $35 worth of stamps for S..
Two of the men were arrested after
they had talked with Mr.. Lubic about
the stamps, and the third party was
found with a party of fifteen men in
the willows near the Wheeling steel
plant.
The fourth stranger being held by
the police is thought to be man whom
the Pittsburg authorities have been
seeking on serious charge for quite
a. while past The police recognize
him as the suspect they arrested about
a year ago and whom they released
about fifteen minutes before receiving
a telegram from Pttsburg, asking
them to hold him. The real charge
against him is not known, but it is
thought to be either robbery or at
tempted murder. The prisoner gave
his name as Charles Martin. The Pitts
burg police have been communicated

The Japanese Hot Bath.

From Chambers journal.
Here is a point that English folks might
learn from the japanese The reason we
ara inclined, in this country. to catch cold
after taking a hot bath in the daytime is
that we do not take it hot enough. If only
you have the water as near boiling point as
possible. there is no fear of your getting
cold aftcrward. The Japanese revel in
these hot tubs. They take them three and
four timas day. In some districts of
Japan. believe, the people are amphbous
for months at time they live practically
in the water. A japanese once called upon
me, and ne apOlogiZed. at the outset of our
conversation, for being SO unmannerly and
dirty, for he had only had time to take
two hot baths that day.

a century.
The shock necessary to explode picric acid
IN all Its forms lis furnished by a class Of
bodies known as "detonators." These are
sensitive bodies which explode with great
violence; and if placed in contact with a
large mass of picric acid, the shock to
which their explosion gives rise causes the

small quantity of the decorator sufficing to
set into action an Indefinitely large quantity

THE NEW EXPLOSIVE.
Latest Filling for shells is a Form
of Picric Acid.

From Chambers journal.
Probably one of the most interesting
features of the Omdurman campaign, from
military standpoint, was the great success
achieved by the lyddite shells, which, used
for the first time in actual warfare by the
British army, proved that lyddite is the best
explosive as yet discovered for use in shells
1t is the object of the present article to give
short description of this substance, which
is destined to play an important part in the
wars of the future
Lyddite is only a variety of picric acid
which has been melted and allowed to
solid1fy, thereby becoming denser Meinite
recently introduced into the French army
Is also another form of picric acid: indeed
most of the sO-called new" explosives con-
sist of this substance in one or another of
Its forms, disguised by different names The
history of picric acid as an explosiye is re-
markable, ami furnishes a striking examine
OF how great discoveries may frequently re-
suit from accident. Picric acid was discov-
cred in III, and for more than a century
was used as dye for wool. silk and ather
without its explosive powers being sus-
pected. Some ten years ago, however fire
occurred at chemical works in Manchester
ana spread to shed containing quantity
OF TINS acid. Being melted by the heat the
acid flowed until 1t came into contact with a
quantity of Htharge stored In the same
building. A terrible explosion followed and
subsequent I4NtSllSdllOn revealed the fact
that under certain conditions picric acid
behaved as a powerful explosive. Further
experiments have made clear the necessary
conditions, and at the present time picric
acid bids fair to outrival all other explosives
for the purpose of filing Shells
Before proceeding TO describe the manner
in which this body is caused to iberate its
explosive power, it will be advisable to give
brief account of its manufacture and COM
mon properties, in order that the sequence
may be made clear. Pure phenol. or car
bolic acid the common disinfectant obtain
ed ffom coal tar, is placed in vessel with
an equal amount of strong oil of vitriol
tsulphuric acid, and the temperature raised
to the boiling point of water. Strong nitric
acid taquafortis) is then allowed to flow
into the mixture, after which the whole is
cooled, leaving solid mass of yellow crys-
tails in the vessel. These crystals are fill
tered and drained, and afterward washed
with cold water, and the residue is pure
picric acid
The crystals so obtained have an intense
ly bitter taste, and for this reason have
been largely employed on the continent
