About Blasting Powders.

Nitroglycerine is in itself one of the
most powerful of known explosives
For blasting purposes, however, 1t is
often combined with other materials
II is very extensively manufactured
throughout the United States. An
exchange gives the following inter
esting account of the way in which it
is made:
A quantity OF concentrated nitric
acid is mixed with twice its volume of
strong sulphuric acid, in lead lined
tank. The mixture is cooled by
means of leaden coils through which
a stream OF cold water is constantly
circulating. Glycerine is sprayed
into the acid, particular care being
taken to prevent rise in tempera-
ture above 80 dergees c, The mixture
is then allowed to cool, upon which a
large percentage of the nitro gyce-
rine floats on the surface and is
drawn off into the water and thor
oughly washed. The lower layer is
then drawn off into water for the
purpose of separating the nitrogly-
cerine remaining, which sinks to the
bottom. An alkali is added to the
last washing water to neutralize any
free acid which may remain, and the
nitroglycerine is then ready for use.
1t is one of the most violent explo-
sives known. AS nitroglycerine can
only be used conveniently in blasting
''down holes, it is mixed with varl-
Gus absorbents in varying proportions
for convenience in mining operations.
Nitro. powders are equally effective
in dry or wet holes. Blasting gela-
tine, which is made by dissolving col
lodion. cotton in nine times its weight
of nitroglycerine, is stated to be q
more powerful explosive than nitro
glycerine alone.

WE DO NOT KNOW.


Is there God who fashioned all that isf
Whose footprints shine upon the milky.wayi
Whose glory crowns the rugged mountain peaks
And echoes in the anthem OF the scar
Is this His world and does His loving hand
Soothe every broken ht art and lead at last
Each troubled stream into the oceans rest2
Or Is the only God the good in man
That part which cannot SIM Or is God but
That subtle force which permeates all life?
Which streams out through THE radiant, up,
turned face
OF every flower and sumber in the stonef
We do not know.
Is the survival OF the httest then
The one inexorabie law as traced
Upon the granite tablets Of the globe,
The fossil.beds, and in the annals OF
The weaker races that have passed awayS
Is might omnipotentY Expediency
The only guidef Or Is there still a steep
And rugged, thOrny path Of right, toward which
The smoother roads of compromise all windf
Is not each vice virtue turned astrayt
Shall not the germ OF good in everything
Somewhere, somehow awake to full fruitioni
We do not know.
Does death end allf The white and perfect
peace
That kisses down the lids and calms the brow
Is 1t tho silence OF the dreamless dustf
The goal Of nothingness which all must reachS
Or is 1t but a sleep In whose soft arms
The soul must nestle like a tired child,
Forget its broken toys and longings and
Arise in esgerness to greet the dawn
Is death the king of terrors or is 1t
Our strongest proof that love rules DER the
wordf
We do not know.
We do not know--yet deep in every heart
There radiates hope not to be cramped
Into the narrow limits Of creed,
A hope which strives through myth and allegory,
Through the grotesque religions long outgrown,
AS well as through the worships OF today,
To voice that which our intuition feels.
| 1t tells us that the discords of this life
Are but the windings of harmony
Too ure and deep for us to understand,
| That we. ourselves, are deathlesS, that beyond
Each goal there lies higher goal-is this
The earthly &c ., OF transcendent TRUTH
Or is II born Of mans own egotism'
We do not know.
| We do not know--the saddest, truest words
Fer spoken by the lips Of mortal man,
The Alpha and Omega OF all thought,
The answer to the questions whence and whittier
As a.ked beside the adle and the tomb.
So from the ark OF individual life
The dove OF hope flies forth, but futtering back
She bears not in her beak the olive branch.
Our noblest thoughts leap skyward there they
strive
To pierce some small Achilles point and pass
Beyond the vail of doubt, but as they fall
Again to earth, we only feel at last
We do not know.

Chariemaqne.

He could straighten four horse
shoes Joined together, we are told,
and lift with his right hand fully
equipped fighting man to the level
of his head. His forehead was ma
jestic, his nose like an eagles beak.
He had the eyes of a lion. When he
was angry they cleaned so that no
man could look him in the face. He
dressed like a Frank of the ancient
days, scoffed at foreign fashions,
loved the speech and songs of his
own Austrasia. Add to these exter-
nal traits tireless energy, an iron
will, keen love of order and JUS
tice, deep seated religious instincts,
and under all an exuberant animal
nature. Such was the man as he ap-
peared to his contemporaries

Big Fire in Ashland.

The Shores block and one or two
small buildings in the vicinity, were
destroyed by fire last Saturday
night, entailing loss of nearly $75,
600. Among those who were burned
out, and suffered heaviest were the
Shores Building Association, loss
$35, 900: insurance, $40, 600; E. A.
Shores. personal loss of $4,000; A,

surance $4,000; Warner Brothers
Drug store, loss $1,000; insurance
$4,000, Brazelton Conservatory OF
Music, So, 800, insurance $1,000.
There was much difficulty in
rescuing some of the people who
roomed in the building, and half
dozen people had to be taken out by
the firemen, in their night clothing
The rescue of Mr.. aud Mrs. Fl. j..
Weeks, we'll known here, was most
difficult. Mrs. Weeks, who was
formerly Miss Hattie Miller. daUght-
err of Mr.. and Mrs. Isadore Miller,
came very nearly losing her life.
With her husband she occupied
quarters on the third floor. When
the fire had progressed so that
escape down the regular channels
was impossible, she awoke. At
the window she was discovered by
the crowds below, and fremen ex-
tended ladder underneath her
window. The ladder was too short,
but plucky Mrs. Weeks let herself
down over the edge OF the window,
and by holding onto the window
casing succeeding in reaching her
feet to Chief Schedules shoulders.
The latter had hardly succeeded in
getting hold OF Mrs. Weeks, when
the latter tainted, and had to be
carried to the ground beneath,
Many other roomers had similar ex-
periences, but none more narrow
escape than Mrs. Weeks.

 Ambassadors of Austria and,Russia
 WILL Present the Scheme Today.
 SOFIA, Bulgaria, Oct. 13.-The de tails of the new Austro Russian reform scheme are awaited here with the greatest interest. A dispatch from Constantinople says that the Austrian and Russian ambassadors will present their proposals to the porte today.
 The government here is taking the strictest precautions to prevent insur- gents from crossing the frontier. One band is reported to have been fired on by Bulgarian troops near Rila while trying to assist a crowd of fugitiyes who were being pursued by the Turks. This incident is considered to be evil dence of the governments correct in- tention.
 s Desperate fighting is reported to have taken place at Seltzi, in the district of Dibra. Three bands engaged a body of 600 Turks and lost twenty-five men After several hours fighting Boris Sa- rafoff, with re-enforcements of 600 in- surgents, arrived on the scene and killed all save forty of the Turks.
 1t is reported that Colonel Karawa- noff, inspector /of the frontier district of Burgas, has been killed in an en- counter with Turkish officers.

SUBMARINE BOATS VICTORY
Remarkable Shooting of the MOcca-
 sin Kn Minnie Warfare.

Remarkable Shooting of the Mocca-
 sin Kn Minnie Warfare.
 Lieutenant Commander Frank F, Fletcher, in charge of the torpedo sta ton on Goat island, near Newport, R. l., ordered Gunner Vanderbeck the oth- CT afternoon to take the torpedo boat Mckee eight miles to the southward of Brenton's reef lightship and destroy a submarine torpedo boat which had been reported maneuvering in that location, says the New York World.
 The Mckee steamed out of the har- bor under full speed, with all her guns manned and loaded with dummy car tridges. Later the submarine torpedo boat Moccasin. under the command of Lieutenant Pinney, started out from the torpedo station looking for the Mckee
 Lieutenant Pinney ordered the Moo casin submerged, and in short time she was running under the waters of Narragansett bay at depth of from ten to thirty feet, occasionally coming up far enough to allow of observations through the altiscope for the purpose of watching the maneuvering of the Mckee, which was sighted with her crew manning the guns and scudding through the rough sea at rapid gait.
 When within POO yards of the Mckee the dummy torpedo of the Moccastn was fired, and it struck on the star board side of the Mckee, near her con- ming tower, a shot which in actual war fare would have destroyed or crippled her.
 This is the best test yet made by submarine boat. No other submarine torpedo boat in the United States navy has such a record.
 Lieutenant Commander Fletcher is preparing plans for battles that will be Bought upon broader scale in the night and in fogs and conditions that will be more like those in which torpe do boats would be likely to be used in actual warfare.

 stThe real organizer of the revolution is Dr. Tatarcheff. For his activity in organizing the men of Macedonia he was exiled at one time, but when he secured enough men he returned and headed them himself. His little band was the nucleus of the present insur- gent force. Today he directs every thing in connection with the Sofa com mittee, the benevolent Macedonia com mittee, composed of Professors Geor- geff, Militich, Agoura, Radoff and Karayovoff.
 ''I expect to present myself for audi ence with President Roosevelt soon, and then will have chance to beg for the aid we need for our refugees now in Bulgaria. There are thousands of them there. The winter is coming on, and they have nothing to live upon. The Turks have stripped them of ev- erything If aid does not reach them they will starve to death. But they would do it contentedly if they knew the fighting men had plenty of ammu- hilton.
 T hope to get some of the public spirited men in this country to organ ize committees to raise funds for our people. I do not wish to touch the money. I would be more than glad if they would appoint committee to carry the funds across and distribute them to the needy and see for them selves the extremity to which the neg leet of the great civilized powers of Europe has reduced my country, and countrymen."

This makes three that have been seen in that vicinity near the Ca nadian woods, and it is believed to in- dicate that the attempt to stock the Adirondacks with these animals from Canada is doubtful experiment, as they have all taken the same trail to Canada that their ancestors did seven ty-five years ago.
