The French Leaion of Honor

The popular impression is that the
Legion of Honor is the only French
decoration, but that is not at all the
case. France possesses orders quite
as ancient as those of most countries
though the oldest of them, st. Esprit,
st. Michel, St. Louis, and St Hubert,
dating from the fifteenth and six
teenth centuries, are no longer con-
ferred. Since the Legion of Honor,
which was founded in 1902 by the
first consul and modified by statute
in 1916 and 1852, there have been es-
tablished no fewer than seven decora-
tions. The legion is the only honor
than can be bestowed on foreigners
and of two of the five classes of which
it consists President Loubet left a
generous supply behind on his recent
visit to London. The silver palm OF
the academy. which NJ. Loubet con-
ferred on the superintendent of the
London Home for French Goyernesses,
is, though much-prized decoration,
not one that comes within the cate
CORY of national orders.

There was once a painter in Paris
who wished to make picture of an

boy and a big bag of apples. In order
that the animal might assume a strik-
ing attitude the lad was to throw it
an apple now and then, so that it
might hold its trunk aloft. But to
prevent the supply of fruit from being
used up too soon, the boy was told
to make-believe to throw an apple
occasionally. The elephant said moth

In the event OF a railroad being
built into Tonopah there is much
speculation these days as to the eff
feet it viii have on the mills down
the river. A man who has been
prominent in milling circles for a
number of years stated yesterday
that he was of the opinion that a
railroad into Touopah woulu mean
the starting up of nearly all the mills
along the river, ard that Dayton and
Empire would resume their former
positions among the lively towns OF
this state. If this be true, it is up
to all of us to hope that rail
road will be built into the great
camp, for in the days when those
places were lively, Carson was also
lively and the opening Of the mills
would mean much for this city. -

A New Explosive.

Powdered aluminium begins to play
an important part in the practice OF
the engineer. Mixed with oxide of
iron, it can be fired, and in burning
will produce pure iron at such a
temperature that it can be used to
unite pieces of iron or steel-such for
example, as the ends of steel rails.
A mixture of powdered aluminium
and nitrate of ammonia, called Am
monal. is a valuable explosive, says
the Metal Industry, and is the safest
known. 1t is not subject to eXplo-
sion from shock or friction, nor is it
affected, like nitro glycerine by cold.
1t is fired with a percussion cap. by
varying the amount Of powdered alu.
