EARLY USE or GUNPowDER.
Evidence of its Discovery Long Be
 fore the Christian Era.

fore the Christian Era.
 With reference to the early use of gunpowder and firearms long before the popularly accepted but erroneous
 Cassier's Magazine. Gdneral Joseph Wheeler, U. s. A.. in lecture a short time ago before the Franklin insti- tute remarked that in many localities in. China and India the soil is iln- pregnated with hitter, and the proba- ble discovery of gunpowder there many centuries before the Christian era may be explained in this way. All cooking at that time was by wood fires, and the people lived in tents and huts. with earth for their floors. Countless fires made of wood upon ground strongly fmpregnated with hitter must have existed every day. and when such fires were ex- tinguished portion of the wood must
 have been converted into charcoal some of which would. of necessity, be- come mixed with the hitter in the soil
 By this means two of the most ac- tive ingredients of gunpowder were brought together, and it is very natu- ral that when another fire was kind led on the same spot a flash might fol- low. This would lead to investiga- ton. and then the manufacture of gunpowder was conceived. Whether this be true or not. there is abundant evidence that the origin of gunpowder and artillery goes far back iR the dim ages of the past
 The Hindoo code. compiled long be- fore the Christian era, prohibited the making of war with cannon and guns or any kind of firearms. Quintus Curtius informs Us that Alexander the Great met with fire weapons in Asia,
 and Philostratus says that AleXan- der's conquests were arrested by the use of gunpowder. It is also written that those wise men who lived m the cities of the Ganges "overthrew their enemies with tempests and thunder bolts shot from the walls Julius Africanus mentions shooting powder in the year 275. It was used i'll the siege of Constantinople i'll 56S; by the Arabs in 690; at Thessalonca iE 9o4; at the siege of Belgrade. 1075: by the Greeks in naval battles, iIl le9S: by [ the Arabs. against the 1berians ln E1147. and at Toulouse in 121S. It ap- nears 10 have been generally known throughout civilized Europe as carly as 13OO. and soon thereafter it made it's way into England, where 1t was Elizabeth an we learn that few arms were possessed by the English in 1910 and that they were used at b+e hattie of Crecy in 1346.

MEXICO.
No Party Organization in the Repup, lie Across the Rio Grande

No Party Organization in the Repub-
 lie Across the Rio Grande.
 It is a matter of no little surprise to the foreigner that in a federal repub- lie. whose institutions are modelled after those of the United States, party activity and even organization are practically absent. The immediate cause of this anomalous situation is the overwhe helmingly dominant position occupied by President Diaz. All classes of the population from the poorest peons to the wealthier landowners. place such unbounded confidence in his ability to direct the policy of the country that there is no need for an organized party to rally to his support, and no room for an opposition party. That this situation has remained practically unchanged during the sue cessive terms of his administration can only be explained by the fact that the political education of the people has not yet reached the level which the democratic political system adopted in 1857 demands.
 Tn the nominating convention of the liberal union party which assembled in the City of Mexico on June 19, the political progress Of the last 25 years was clearly mirrored. Delegates from every state and territory of the re public assembled. not merely to renom- inate General Diaz, but to found q national political party, whose main purpose will be the maintenance of those traditions of law and ordef which have contributed so much to- ward the industrial advancement Of the country. Whether this party or ganization will lead to the formation of an opposition party remains to be seen The indications are that no such party Twill be. formed. inasmuch as it would have to take q position an tagonistic to the present administra- ton in order to find a reason for its existence. With such platform 1t would be impossible to form a party owing to the absence of any particu- late opposition sentiment in the coun- try. The only possibility is the for nation of a conservative party, which would soon be forced into the attitude of the old clerical party. The resent ment aroused by the confscation of church nroperty and the expulsion of monastic orders might form the nu- .cleus for conservative or clerical party. But even here much of the bit terness has disappeared owing to the spirit of fairness which has character ized the policy of President Diaz in his dealings with the church.-Re Review of Reviews.

"A RAGGED HERO"

Last seasons popular success, "A Ragged Hero" will be presented at Polls Tuesday and Wednesday even ings, with Wednesday matinee. As it's title indicates, the pay concerns a Knight of the road d''--not one of the comic sort, however, but a clean-cut type. The scenes of the play are laid in New England, and full advantage has been taken of the opportunity for scenic display. There are may effects and climaxes which are claimed to be entirely new. One of these is the res cue of q child from an upper window of a burning house by the quick-witted ragged hero, who, with not moment to spare and seemingly with no means of rescue at hand. jumps into swing, sways to and fro until the height of the window is attained. when the child leaps into his arms and is borne safely to the ground. Prices are popular.
