A pretentiouS poet got his verses sub
mittcd to Charles Lamb by friend
just before the poet was to meet Lamb
at dinner. Lamb found the verses to
be feeble echoes of other poets, and
when the author arrived he was seen
to be as empty as his verses. This
awakened Lambs spirit of mischie
vous waggery. At dinner he said in the
course of conversation:
THAT reminds me of some verses
wrote when l was young" and then he
quoted a line or two which he recol-
lected from the poets book, to the lat
tcrs amaZement and Indignation. Lamb
was diverted Immensely, but kept per-
fectly serious and quoted more lines in
connection with another remark, beg
ging the company to remember how
young he was when he composed them.
The author again looked daggerS at
him.
Lamb capped all by introducing the
first lines of Paradise Lost" C'Of
mans first disobedience," etc. as also
written by himself, which brought the
poet to his feet, bursting with rage. He
said he had sat by and allowed his own
little verses to be appropriated with
out protest, but when he saw Milton
silent no longer. Lamb reveled in tell
ing this story.-Rcv. David Macrae in
English Humor."

Kills without Hitting.

What is lydditc? The high explosive
thus called from the name of the small
Kentish town and gunnery center
where the experiments with it were
made is nothing less than picric acid
brought into dense state by fusion.
Picric acid is Il bright yellow sub
stance freely used in peaceful indus
tries for dyeing purposes. 1t is OBJ
tained by the action of nitric acid on
phenol or carbolc acid. 1t burns very
violently, and, owing to the tremcn-
dous blast produced by the explosion,
the destructive effect of Il bursting
shell filed with it is some II times
greater than that of n shell filed With
powder
All lyddite shells are equipped with
percussion nose fuses only; hence their
explosion takes place on impact in the
following fashion: The percussion fuse
ignites picric powder eXploGcr, which
in turn gnitCs the bursting charge of
lydditc, the detonation of the fuse and
of the two explosives inside the shell
being instantaneous. The picric pow
der cXplodCr. we should add, is insert
ed in u recess left in the lydditc for
that purpose. Lyddite shell is to some
extent less barbarous than shrapnel
exploded by powder, for, though wide
spread, it's death dealing effects are
due more % air conclusion than to the
Wounding effects of the flying frag-
mcnts. IN other words, in the case of
q lyddite shell bursting in a group of
men, the greater number win be killed
not by pieces of the shell, but by the
blow OF the suddenly compressed air.

Influenza Caused by Ozone,

On one occasion the writer walked to
the edge of Lake Michigan when 4
strong wind was blowing right from
the lake. The bodily condition was as
near perfect as could be, and yet in less
than five minutes there was every evil
dence of having caught cold. The Sc
we're influenza continued until, on walk
ing away, in less than 800 feet it dis
appeared as if by magic.
1t is very certain that the tempcra-
ture had nothing to do with this nor
the wind, but the influenza was direct
ly due to the abundant ozone in the air.
BY inquiry it was learned that hun
dreds of residents who had lived upon
the immediate edge of the lake had
been obliged to move back three or
four miles in order to relieve them
selves from such experiences.
Physicians readily admit that it is
not always possible to say when one
catches" cold. 1t certainly cannot
always be because of undue exposure
or change in temperature, but probably
also to changes in the electric condi-
ton of the air. Facts of this kind
should lead to the EXTREMIST caution in
studying any supposed relation be-
tween the weather and health.-Popu-
lar Science.

attached to the old coin, viz, the mis-
taking Of it for dime, the coin is to be

This will make the coin easily dis
