The Wind MILLS
OF HOLLAND

Are known to all the world.
They are both picturesque and
useful, but useful as they are, they
could not compete with Chase q
Sanborn's Coffee Mill. If they were
obliged to depend on wind mills,
many Of their customers would be
kept on short allowance, for they
turn out between forty and fifty
thousand pounds of coffee a day, a
feat which is quite beyond wind
mill power.
Stop and think what this enor-
nous amount of coffee means, es-
pecially if you remember howfamous-
ly high grade it is.
Every bean is selected and even
the plantations on which it is raised
are famous for the perfection of their
products.
Your grocer will deliver Chase &

Boilnettes famous powder. compound

chromate, was made In 1869. but found
90 be too sensitive. Fontains mixture
In 1859 caused lamentable explosion
which led 10 its being discarded as a
military explosive. Designolle was
more successful, producing a mixture
which was favorably received, and Is
still in use in the French army, though
largely supplanted by melinite. This
last famous explosive was invented by
NJ. Eugene Turpin, and consists OF
mixture Of fused picrlc acid and nitro
cellulose dissolved in ether and alcohol.
NJ. Turpin has produced many patent
notifications Of this mixture, Of which
lyddite Is one. The alleged fabulous
properties Of the English explosive are
probably only imaginary. When me-
Unite was first put forward equally as
tonishing powers were claimed for II
by General Boulanger, but these have
not been justified. Lyddite has been
effectually tried in warfare, and au-
thorities declare It TO be little different
from melinlte. with which the Beers
are well supplied. By the decomposi-
ton Of the picric compounds by eX-
plosion carbonic acid gas, not per Sc a
poisonous gas is evolved. In a small
and Enclosed space this gas win proba-
bly, suifocate animals, but II is difficult
10 see how It can have any death-deal-
ing properties in the open veldt. Ow-
ing to the terrific explosive force Of the
compound the shells will have wide
range, certainly q radius OF 100 yards.
For further particulars about these
high explosives there is no better work
to which one can refer than Lieutenant
Walkers Lectures on Explosives" the
official textbook on the subject in the
United States military academies.

LYDDITE SHELLS.
Despite Stories to the Contrary, DO
Not Expel Poisonous Gases.

II IS very frequently stated that the
Iyddite shells contain a certain com
pressed poisonous gas, which, when eX-
ploding means death TO any living crea-
ture within a radius Of 100 yards tsome
even say 400. This is an additional life
devouring agent TO the ordinary des-
tructiye powers OF the shell. This state
ment Is no doubt an eXaggeration, as
the use OF such shells would be In viola
ton Of the rules Of civilized warfare.
The composition OF lyddite Is held Sc
cret. and IL is therefore impossible TO
give any details regarding II. Compe-
tent authorities. however, have no
doubt that II is only a modification
OF mellnite. the authorized explosive
used In the French and German armies
This much is known, that lyddite
stands between that explosive and
thorite. newly Invented compound. Of
which the secret has been purchased by
the United States government They
are all compounds OF picric acid or
