A Novel Picnic.

An outdoor picnic in January is not a
usual occurance in Vermont, but such an
event took place in this vicinity last
week Monday and those participating
in it say they had splendid time y
F. A. Hovey had kindly offered to give
his pastor, Rev. E. E. Grant, all the
wood he could cut from his wood lot, so
a "chopping bee" composed of several
men was formed to give him a Gift. "
Mr.. Grant, who was one of the party,
did not propose his assistants should sit
down to cold lunch, SO camping out
fit was taken to the forest and a small
ledge was discovered which served as a
fireplace. Potatoes were roasted, meat
cooked and hot coffee, with a generous
quantity of cream was served. Mr..
Grant and Mr.. Gaskill served the dinner
and if these gentlemen ever desire a
position as cooks it is certain they can
obtain first class recommendations.

CORDITE CONDEMNED

No one who is at all familiar with the history
of modern military explosives will be surprised
at the decision of the British Government to
abandon the use of cordite. OF all the smoke
less powders which have been employed in the
last ten or fifteen years this was probably the
worst For some of the difficulties experienced
with 1t at first such as the tendency to deteri-
crate in hot climates, remedies were discov-
cred. No way was found, though, to diminish
the serious erosive effect of its gases upon the
interior of cannon. Cordite greatly abbreviated
the life of guns in which it was used. Other
countries partially obviated the trouble by COM
bining the same ingredients in different pro-
portion. 1t was long ago demonstrated that
better results could be secured by putting in
more guncotton and less nitroglycerne than the
English service powder contained Just why
cordite was not sooner formally condemned it
is needless to inquire, but there can no longer
be any opposition to the step when such men as
Lord Rayleigh, Sir William Crookes, Sir Will
lam Roberts-Austen and Sir Andrew Nobel unite
In advising 1t.
1t is not improbable that the decision lust an
nounced was reached by the governments spe-
cial commission very soon after 1t began its in
vestigation eighteen months ago. 1t was doubt
less deemed expedient, however, not to pro-
claim its convictions until a fairly satisfactory
substitute was found. Such policy was emf
nently wise. Still, it is to be observed that the
commission is reticent concerning the exact
composition of the powder now recommended
From that fact 1t is safe to infer that the new
explosive has only been adopted Professionally.

SHAKESPEARE AND BACON.

There were whispers in London last summer
about the serious complications which might
ensue If too much publicity were given to the
disclosures" made by Mrs. E. w. Gallup in her
volume exhibiting the results of an application
of a "Baconan'' cipher 10 the works of Shake
speare. This ingenious American lady not only
sought TO prove that Bacon had written the
plays commonly attribeted to Shakespeare and
other works credited to other authors, but indi-
Gated that there were things in the business
hitherto undreamed of in any mans philosophy.
Bacon was not only to be accepted as the au-
thor of Shakespeare but as a decidedly close
kinsman TO the royal house of England, and so
the whispers ran In this wise: "I wouldn't say
anything about this II were you. The fact is
that have it from friend standing close to
"a certain august parsonage that that parsonage
"deprecates publicity in the matter as not un-
'1kely TO raise grave dynastic agitation But
murder will out, and, as Mrs. Gallup's book was
procurable in due course the storm broke.
It broke in the pages of THE Nineteenth Cen
tury and After" wherein Mr.. w. Fl. Mallock
dscoursed with portentous gravity on the theme
provided by Mrs. Gallup; 1t spread throughout
the columns of the British press, and its trailing
skirts have brushed our own shores. Some
thing, perhaps compassion, seems to have kept
the Gallupians from training their deadly guns
upon the fabric of the British Empire. They
are not unwilling that the throne should stand
firm. But they have continued TO rave with
astounding faulty about the question of the
authorship of the plays and poems. The sudden
recrudescence of the Baconian lunacy must re-
main one Of those things which man can pre-
tend to understand. How Enthusiastically baseess
the theory is Mr. Winter once more shows in
the authoritative and luminous paper which we
TO dow OIIf
readers will find marshalled, with the skill of
one of the most eminent of Shakespearlan schol
ars, those facts which expose beyond the perad-
venture of q doubt the abysmal absurdity of
what 1t is fattering TO call 'the Baconian argu-
ment"
