Maximite the new explosive invented

that the danger attaching to its use is
less than that incurred in transporting

the explosive will pierce 12-inch Har-

having passed thru it. will explode on
the other side with sufficient power to
destroy everything with which it comes
in contact Never before has plate of

that Maximite may revolutlonize the

Buffalo June 3.--Weather, and that Of

ance of the sun. which has been visible
just a few hours in eight days.
In accordance with the exposition .

special events. various days of the past
week, which have not been otherwise
designated. have been nicknamed by
the minor officials. Monday, when the
mercury fell to 40. was called Eskimo
day. and 1t was declared that the look
out at the village was watching the
canals closely for the first appearance

suit. Tuesday the pavements were COW
Tered with puddles and the outside roads
were almost quagmires and the
"Wednesday that followed was dubbed
Ark day. 1t was said that message

what he thought was Ararat. and that

concluded.
This prediction was little off. tho the
weather bureau hit it right in foreca ST.
ling showers. The only error was in the
use of the plural. The singular would
have been more correct, as there was
but one shower, which continued with
out a let-up for three days. AT the end
of that tome Abou Kamil, the chanter
of the muezzln in the Streets of Cairo
