AUGUSTA LOCALS.
Evening".

The violet mists across the hill
Come erising-rising-on and up
The lilac trees their sweetness spill
Upon the tulips streaked cup,
A hush Ger all the earth is spread.
The light is fading from the skies,
A dropping pansy lifts its head
With purple shadows in its eyes.
Now, in the West. a cloud-land ship
Comes passing thro' a sullen red.
| watch it float and sail and dip
Its loyal banners flying free,
When. like a golden flashing sword.
The lightning cuts its masts in twain,
And every purple cloud is scored
With silver lines of falling rain.
--Philistine.

A Text Book Puzzle.

Miss French state superintendent OF

very complicated problem at the tiIresh-
bold of her official career. The means of
solving it will have to be provided by
the legislature, but the details Of the
work will fall upon her q obi ftif,
II. is not generally known, but the
state is involved in debt of something
like $4,000 for text books. 1t NAV be
much more. Miss French has not yer
had time to get at the matter, but she
finds that there is at least that much that
is owing. The school districts are be-
hind to the state in a corresponding
amount, and there is an. endless com
plication. Some districts have paid in
the manner contemplated by law, send
ing their warrants to the county superin-
tendent, who forwards them to the state
treasurer, but in many cases it is Claimed
that payment has been made direct to

something of the matter think the total

provided has not yet been available,
owing TO some defect, and the state has
not been able to settle with the book
companies. Then the provisions for
distribution Of the books, for payment by
the districts, etc, are more or less
defective, and the entire subject has been
involved in confusion that seems endless.
The whole matter win be placed in
the hands of the educational committees
of the legislature for the formulation of
plan for paying the companies and col
lecting from the delinquent districts.
When the necessary legislation shall
have been enacted Miss French will pro-
coed to straighten out the tangle, but in
the meantime she can only advise the
book concerns that they must wait until
the legislature can act.

Havana, July S.-The citizens of

larly active in their opposition that

OREGON MANS INVENTION.
Naval Board Experiments with a New
Explosive.

Naval Board Experiments With New
Explosive.
New York, July ga dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says:
Important tests with thorite, new
high explosive, are being conducted by
the board of ordnance and Notifications
at the Sandy Hook proving grounds.
Little is known at the war department
of the characteristics of the new explo-
sive. 1t is the invention of Professor
Tuttle, Of Oregon, who asserts it is per-
fectly safe, and was willing some
weeks ago to put a red-hot poker in a
charge of thorite, declaring 1t could be
done without causing it to explode. 1t
is believed to have picric acid as it's
base. Tests of the explosive by the
inventor are said to have been very sat-
isfactory, 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 dry
and wet guncotton, paying more atten-
iton to tfe last named explosive than
to any other. So far none OF them has
given the results desired before adop.
tion for service use.
Captain William Crozier, military
attache of the American delegation to
The Hague conference, was instructed
several weeks ago to stop in England
on his way home and ascertain if possl-
BILE the ingredients of llddite and the
secret OF the fuse used 10y General Kitch-
ner'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 officers in England have ap.
parently been unable to secure all the
information concerning the explosive
the authorities would like to have. It
is recalled that emmensite, discovered
in and used by France, was kept a Sc.
cret, but this government finally OBJ.
tanned infol nation of its ingredients
and has. been testing it for some years
at Sandy Hook.
Tests of jovite were made bv the
army officials several years ago and
were not very successful The navy
department has tested thorlte with con.
siderable success, and if it continues to
be satisfactory it may be adopted by
the naval service.
