Power of the Lyddite Shell.

According to the reports of the
operation of the British artillery be-
fore Omdurman, lyddite, with which
the shells thrown into the city were
charged, is the most frightfully power.
full explosive ever introduced into
warfare. At one time lis men were
assembled in an iron mosque beside
the mahdi's tomb. A lyddite shell
fell among them, leaving only twelve
alive. So terrible are the effects of
this explosive that while it was being
tested in England, no person was
allowed with radius of 500 yards
from the point at which the proiectile
was to burst. Within 400 yards, so
it is stated, SO violent were the vibra-
tions produced by the explosion of a
large shell that many solid objects,
such as masses of masonry, We're re-
duced to dust. 1t is manufactured
from the principal ingredient of all
coal-tar oils, carbolic acid. This is
treated with nitric acid, and produces
picric acid, an extremely destructive
explosive. Makers of proiectiles have
always fought shy of picric acid, be-
cause Of the great danger in handling
it. The problem has been solved by
fusing it, and so increasing its power
tenfold. This is lyddite, which can
be manipulated without fear. When
touched by flame it burns brightly,
though without violent explosion. 1t
is only when confined and exploded
by detonation that its destructive
powers are exhibited. Chicago Rec

Richard X. Fox, the printer and
publisher, makes use of what is prob
ably the best protected bank check in
existence. In the first place, the
ground Of the check is printed with
lined tint-bock, that prohibits any
scratching for alteration. Then the
dollars are punched out with n check
punch, and strip of red paper IS
firmly glued back of the. punched
holes, to prevent any chance of filling
and repunching. The amount of the
check is written in letters and also in
figures in spaces so small that the
writing fills the whole of each space.
AS final protection, the amount is
again written in red ink clear across
the face of the check, over the other
writinG and printing. 1t would be
possible to counterfeit one of these
checks, but to raise one would puzzle
Cagliostro himself.

enced when, riding over London in a
balloon, at height of more than half
a mile he heard the deafening roar of
the great city beneath him, as it could
not be heard when on the ground The
noise, even at that height, was so harsh
and intense as to be painful to the ear.
How perfect sound conductor the air

the country, where the murmur of the
leaves moved by the wind half a mile
below, was distinctly heard.

to the butcher:

Can Cubans Govern Themselyes2

One of the best known d%iplomatists
recently declared that the Cubans are
incapable of governing themselves, and
that the United States must maintain
its present control indefinitely, or else
annex the island. There will be those
who will dispute this, but there are
none who dispute the well established
fact that Hostetter's Stomach Bltters is
capable of controlling the common
diseases of the stomach. 1t is a remedy
that is backed by fifty years of success.
1t is an ideal medicine for constipation;
