The Most Wonderful Explosive in the
World.

Hudson Maxim, the inventor of
"Maximite," which has recently been
adopted by the United States govern
ment, gives a clear account of his re-
markable invention in Frank LesIie's
Popular Monthly for October.
"Maximite" he says, (Which has re-
Gently been adopted by the govern
ment, has satisfactorily stood every
test to which it has been subjected,
and there is none of the foregoing re-
quirements which it does not fulfil
perfectly. 1t is very inexpensive of
manufacture; has a fusion point below
the temperature of boiling water;
cannot be exploded from ignition,
and, indeed, cannot be heated hot
enough to explode, for it will boil
away like water without exploding.
1t is therefore, perfectly safe to melt
" an open fire for filling probe ctiles,
in the anne manne hat asphalt is
melted in a street cauldron. Should
the material by any chance catch fire,
it would simply burn like asphalt
without exploding. When cast into
| shells, it not only solidifies into a
dense hard incompressible mass on
cooling, but it expands and sets hard
upon the walls of the ~projectile, like
sulphur. That is to say, it expands
in the same way as water does in
freezing.
when a shell filled with it strikes
armor plate, the Maximite does not
shift a particle, and it is SO insensitive
that it not only stands the shock of
penetration of the thickest armor
plate which the shell itself can go
through, but it will not explode, even
if the projectile breaks up on the
plate"

Effect of Possible Changes.

There is no thought Of changing the let
tered streets in the southern part of the
city. If Congress should decide upon such
a scheme, 1t would DO away with the desig
nations northwest and northeast" and
southwest and southeast" Under the
changed system, what is II street north
west today would then be known as Hayes
or Hull street west, and H street north
east would be Hayes or Hull street east.
In the southern section the thoroughfares
would still be styled II street, but there
would be no further necessity for adding
the prefix south before east and west in
designating the section referred to. 1t
would be known to all that lettered streets
would be found only in the southern sec
tions Of the city. 1t would further be
known that streets of one syllable names
would be found, arranged alphabetically,
in the north section; that the two syllable
named streets would be found in corre-
spending positions north of the one sylla-
Bile names, and that the three syllable
names were in like position still further
north.
The Commissioners empowered for
the present however. to deal only with the
names of streets outside Of the city opened
and planned under the highway acts And
so, the names which will be adopted from
the lists discussed will apply at first only
to the extended portions of the existing
alphabetical city streets (all Of the extern
sions of such streets being designated by
one syllable Dames) and to the streets be-
yond the city boundary.

ATLANTIC CITY, June II, 1901.
Down here by the sea June visitors have
escaped the heat. The days have been
bright and warm, but the temperature has
at no time scared to a height where 1t be-
came a topic for conversation. The nights
have been cool, SO much so that the COM
bination of straw hat and overcoat has peen
a regular feature of the evening stroll on
the boardwalk. The city has already taken
on it's summer garb, the spring cleaning has
been completed and the fresh paint recently
put on everything in sight of the sad sea
waves has already hardened The town Is
ready for it's summer rush and the hotels
already shelter the vanguard of the tens OF
thousands who will spend their vacations
at the shore
The various amusement enterprises are In
full swing, and seem to be patronlzeo ND
orally; in fact, there Is no reason that IL
should be otherwise, for there are already
thousands here. Washington visitors are
numerous, and practically every leading
hotel has it's quota. Among recent wash
ingtonians on the ocean walk was Mr. 5.
W. Woodward. democratically pushing a
rolling chair, which was occupied by one Of
the ladies of his party. Most of the enter
prises devised for the sole purpose of at
tracing the nimble penny, as well as coins
of greater value, from the pocket of the
visitor will again greet the new arrival.
The same old cake walks on the same old
piers; the various cinematograph and mys-
tic maze shows; the vaudeville and, further
down the walk, the same thing under an
other name, where variety show better
suits the atmosphere, are all in full swing,
and the regulars who have made this place
their summer stamping ground for years
will feel at home as these visions meet
their eyes. But old-timers prepare to hold
your breath: there Is one feature here that
is going to jar you.

Sugar syndicates who manipulate the
European market predict that the United
States will produce all the sugar it needs,
according to United States Consul Donzel-
mann at Prague, IN a communication to
the Department of State. 1t is shown that
Russia Germany, France and England ma
terially increased their consumption of su-
gar last year, while Spain, Italy and the
Balkan states have produced not only all
the sugar needed at home, but are ex-
porting to a small extent. Even Egypt.
which recently was obliged to import about
so, 200 tons annually from Austria, now eX-
ports large quantities to the United States
and India. With reference to beet sugar
the consul says that it is surprising fact
that the United States, with millions of
acres of virgin soil and improved machin-
cry, his such comparatively small acre
age planted in sugar beets, and so few
sugar factories.
