ExERTs AN AWFUL POWER

Exploding Dynamite L. the Most Tre-
mendous Force In Existence.
When dynamite explodes 1t leaves
little to mark the spot where it has
lain save evidences Of its destructive
ness. Two interesting exhibits of it's
force are shown In the Stevens Insti-
tute Of Technology at Hoboken. N. ].
They are steel blocks, SIX inches in
diameter and four inches thick, show
Ing respectively the impression OF an
oak leaf and the imprint Of the head
line Of a western newspaper. 1t was
during test of high explosives that
cartridge of dynamite was placed on
a newspaper covering the block Of
steel, the object being to see how much
dynamite would be required to split
the metal.
The dynamite was fred without In
jury to the steel, but to the surprise Of
the experimenter the print of the
newspaper was deeply pressed into the
metal. The experiment was repeated,
with the same result, and then was
elaborated by trying the charge ON an
oak leaf placed between the block and
the dynamite. This time the stem and
the ribs Of the leaf were deeply i'm
pressed in the metal.
what happens is this" ssid the OK
pert In charge. "Unlike most other ex-
plosives, dynamite exerts practically
all its crushing force downward and
not in a general direction. So incon-
ceivably quick and forceful is the dis
charge Of this powder that the imprint
of the ribs of an oak leaf are made be-
fore the leaf has time to be blown to
atoms. In the case Of the newspaper
it appears that where printers Ink
touches the paper the paper is harden
ed and more capable Of resistance than
In other places, and 50 1t is that before
the paper is destroyed the printing on
it is forced deep into the metal"

IL was Once u.ed by Lobbyist and
Tells a Queer Story.
The San Francisco land rrabbeis

employees Of the land Office recalls the
manner In which a certain lobbyist out
West used to make II worth while
for legislators to vote as he wished. A
Bible society had placed copy OF the
scriptures In each room OF every hotel
In the State. Whenever the lobbyist
wished to bride member OF the leg
islsture he would invite him to his
room and. after going over all the le-
climate arguments in favor OF his
measure. would ask II the legislator
had ever read the book OF Job. II was
n fairly safe guess that he had not, but
even II he had not II made no differ
ence.
1T Is wonderful story" the lobby
list would say, 'and think you would
nnd 1t profitable to read H." Then he
would place the Bible in his guests
hand, bidding him read Job while he.
the lobbyist. stepped out for a few mo.
ments.
How do you like II as far as you
have read2' he would ask when he re
turned.
II the legislator said he liked II the
lobbyist knew that the bank note
which he had previously placed be-
tween the leaves at the beginning OF
the book OF Job was OF a satisfactory
denomination
They used to tell the story out thele
that legislator once took the money
and then voted against the lobbyists
measure, whereupon the lobby
frightened him into giving back the
money by threatening to prosecute
him for grand larceny. And, sure
enough, II was nothing less. for the
lobbyist had not said word TO indl-
cate that he meant 10 have the legls-
lator take the money, and. OF course. a
man has a right to use $1,000 bill
as bookmark II he wants to.-Brook-
