N. Alvisi, in the Gazzetta Chemica
Italiana, describes new powder,
which he calls canned powder. 1t con-
sists of a mixture of sixty parts of
perchlorate of ammonium, with twelve
parts of camel coal from Scotia. The
method of making the new powder is
very simple. The finely divided car
bon is intimately mixed with the per-
chlorate Of ammonium in an apparatus
TO which gyratory movement can be
impaired. The mass obtained is slight
ly moistened with water containing a
small quantity of gum. 1t is then
compressed and granulated like or
binary blasting powder. Samples Of
the powder kept for seven months have
shown no alteration. 1t is said to be
more powerful than dynamite.

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL,

Experiments have for some time
been made in England with smokeless
coal. This peculiar. fuel may be burned
either in an ordinary CRATE or in
basin in the middle of the room with
out developing any perceptible odor or
smoke at any time The fire looks like
the finest coal fire, and the fame is
white and blue.

AS the utility of gargling in diseases
Of the throat has been questioned by
several physicians Of prominence in
Europe. series of experiments were
recently made by DR.. Sanger, and are
described in a Munich medical journal.
The therapeutic utility of gargling de-
pends on whether the fluid employed
reaches the mucous membrane of the
pharynx and the tonsils or not. To
determine this fact, the tonsils Of a
patient were painted with methylene
blue, and he then was told to gargle
with plain water. The water elected
from the mouth was found to be quite
colorless, and the tonsils still retained
their blue appearance. In other expert
ments, the velum, portion of the
tongue, and the tonsils we're busted
with wheat flour, and a gargle given
the patient in which iodine was mixed
with glycerine. 1t was found that the
velum and the tongue showed the blue
color of the reaction on the starch, but
the flour on the tonsils was neither col
ored nor washed away. Or. Sanger be-
lieves that gargling is useless, and
when a local treatment is desired a
swab of cotton wool should be en-
ployed.

BALTIMORE AND OHIO.

The Baltimore and Ohio dividend question is one
of interest in Wall Street at present, but
so far the directors of the company have made no
statements regarding the chances of a divi-
dend the common stock this summer 1t
is understood that the matter will be taken
up at the Board meeting in the first week in
August, and it is believed in we'll informed circles
that the utmost conservatism will be exercised II
a dividend should be declared it will doubtless not
be at a rate that spectators would like. The
stock was put up to s. earlier in the year on re-
port that a per cent rate would be declared Sub
sequently this estimate was revised and per cent
was figured upon. The latest estimate is that 2
per cent will be declared and that the dividend
will not be announced as semi-an 1ual.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL DIVIDEND.

The dividend rate Of the Illinois Central has been
raised from to per cent, per cent semi-annual
having been declared yesterday. 3 per cent
basis has been in force for the last ten years and
the advance to per cent places the stock in the
position it held in 1889. when per cent was the
ruling rate. The improvement in the company s
affairs has been marked in the last few years. and
the earning power is much in excess Of last
years dividend rate that larger distribution to
the stockholders is defensible from all points or
view The company will show about per cent, 1t
is said, for the year ended June 80 in the forth
coming annual report. and per cent rate will
therefore leave large surplus, which will doubt
less be put into the property. The policy OF the
Illinois Central is to put surplus earnings into the
road a policy which has made the company phys
icalIy and financially sound.

ERRORS IN SPEECH.
Some That Are Commonly Made by
Those Who Know
Better.

Errors in speech are not made by the
uneducated alone. Many a well-edu-
Gated woman allows herself to use ex-
pressions wbicn moments thought
win convince her are Incorrect.
Among the most glaring solecisms are
the use of the wrong conjunction to
express oue's meaning, for instance,
like she was, instead of "as she was;"
the 100 frequent employment of con-
fractions, "aiut ~" aren't you?"
won't you?" etc, for "am ! uot?' or
sam not l?n or will not you?" etc. The
use OF the objective case Of the pronouB
for the subjective, and vice versa. She
asked Jessie and 10 accompany her."
instead of "She asked Jessie and me-"
These are but a few Of the common
est errors practiced by educated and
uneducated alike, but there is in the
pronunciation and clearness of diction,
aside from the rules of grammar, a sure
guarantee Of education. The way the
final syllable is pronounced, the sound
ing Of the final letters, full and clear;
thinking, eStravagant, fast, for think
in, extrayagan, fas, betrays careful
training or the lack of it. And in the
same manner the use Of superhuous
words: Whatever can it mean" for
What can it mean" indicates either
lack Of training in The speech Of the
educated word or gross carelessness in
expressing oue's thoughts
