Mr.. MEREDITH said 10 his speech IN
the State convention on Saturday on
motion to adjourn until the 9th Of
July, that the new constitution was not
expected to be ready for submission to
the people at the election this fall. This
means certainly that the convention
will be 10 session for four months
longer, and as nothing has been done
In the past three weeks, the indications
are that 1t will extend we'll into next
year. The members show disposition
to talk rather than act, and 1t Is sug-
gested that if the newspapers devoted
!sss space to the speeches made in the
convention the proceedings OF that
boyd would be expedited.

Count Sergey de Smolisninoff who

months ago would have been q
rich man had he been spared a. little
longer. Cerberite, the high explosive
upon which he spent the best years OF
his life, has been proven to be just the
thing the government was looking for
and will probably be adopted by both
the army and navy. During the last
few weeks exhaustive tests have been
made under the inspection of govern
ment officials and it has proven to be q
wonderful destroyer. 1t is said to be
more powerful than nitro-glycerine and
has advantages over any other explo-
siye now 10 use. IL will not freeze and
unlsss subjected simultaneously to the
action of flame, heat and conclusion, II
will not explode. 1t can therefore be
handled with safety In large or small
quantities. 1t is made in three forms,
LIQUID, gelatine and powder.
