Erroneous ideas About Explosive Pow
ers-Will Burn as Quietly as Wood.
Dynamite is composed of nitro-glycer-
inc and dry substance called the abb
sorbent In its manufacture we make
first the nitro glycerine, which is pre-
pared by the action of mixture of
concentrated nitric and sulphuric acids
upon glycerine, introduced drop by
drop. The nitro-glycerine is introduced
into a large tank arrangement which
is filled with the absorbent-a form of
powder made up of wood meal and
nitrate of soda. AS a result of this
absorbing process dynamite is obtain
ed. The substance very closely resem-
bles brown sugar.
Then the dynamite is made into car
tridges or sticks. The cartridges are
cylindrical in shape and are generally
S inches long, III inches in diameter,
and weigh half a pound each. The
outer coating of the stick is of heavy
waxed paper. In fact, cartridge is
simply cylinder of this waxed paper
tightly packed with dynamite.
1t is generally believed that it would
be suicide for any one to touch match
to a stick or dynamite. The idea is en-
tirely false. Before dynamite will ex-
plode from heat the temperature must
rise to $50 degrees. Dynamite will
burn like stick of wood, without the
least danger of explosion. saw a

The menu. Of course, says the Washing

But the interesting fact concerning
the luncheon occurred after all the
guests were seated and the oysters had
been served. Then some one upstairs
in the Senate chamber, suddenly dis
covering that many desks were empty,
suggested that a quorum ought to be
called. The bells were rung, and, OF
course, they sounded in the impromptu

one another. They did not want to
leave the hospitable board, and yet
their duty called them away. Duty
won the day. They fled upstairs, only
to find that Senator Clay was about to
begin speech on the ship subsidy bill.
As they entered the chamber their less
fortunate colleagues who had not been
invited to the luncheon gave them a
laughing greeting.
The Senators answered to their names
and then went back to the table. After
that they were not disturbed.

MONKEYS as Coin Testers.

1t is said that the great ape of Siam
is in great request among the Siamese
merchants as cashiers in their count
ing houses. Vast quantities of base
coins are known to be in circulation in
Siam, and no living human being can
discriminate between the good and
bad coinage with as much accuracy as
these apes. These monkey cashiers
possess the faculty of distinguishing
the rude Siamese counterfeits in such
an extraordinary degree that no train
ed banker can compete with them in
their unique avocation.
In plying his trade the ape cashier
meditatively puts each coin presented
to him in his mouth and tests it with
grave deliberation. From two to five
seconds is all the time this intelligent
animal requires in making up his de-
cision. II the coin is all right, it is
carefully deposited in the proper re-
ceptacle; IL base. it is thrown violent
