but when he tested 1t with magnet
duced to impalpable dust by the shock.
A 9-2 inch shell loaded with lyddite
was fired at target 1,500 yards away.
When 1t burst, fragments of the shell
were thrown back nearly half mile
toward the gun,. while scraps Of steel
were thrown sideways for nearly
mile. At that distance men felt
heavy blow on their faces from the
concussion, and at the target there
arose a cloud Of green smoke as high
as the clock tower at Westminster.
The terrible explosion at Woolwich
resulting from some mishandling OF
the stuff was a dreadful example OF Its
power. And yet when used in warfare
against the Beers, its effects were far
less destructive than the experiments
led the authorities to expect, and
though In certain circumstances 1t will
rend the most stubborn obstacles In
general use, it does not always exert
its vaunted powers. A paradox indeed!
It was thought that in lyddite the last
word had been spoken in high explo-
sives, but this Is now realized to be
mistake. There are many explosives
of which picric acid is the base, and
they are constantly undergoing change
and modification. There are some 30
different cites" in the Dictionary Of
Explosives" in all Of which the base
is picric acid. and with some of these
paradoxical and diabolical agents Of
destruction the enemies Of the east
are fighting today
The latest development Is claimed by
Colonel Hope. 1t has yet to be tested,
but If it proves capable Of doing what
he claims for it 1t Is marvellous in
deed. Singularly enough. it is de-
parture from the present lines, for 1t
contains neither nitro compound,
phosphorus, sulphur, nor chlorate, nor
indeed, any kind Of dangerous ingre-
dent" No extreme Of climate. 1t Is
said, will affect it; it is cheap. can be
made rapidly. handled safely, its man
ufacture involves no risk. Yet here
again the paradox creeps In. for the
new explosive, "Veloxite," will impart
higher velocity to any projectile than
any explosive now on the market, 1t Is
suitable for all arms, does not destroy
the gun, and is absolutely smokeless.
It Is terrible to think that so much in
genulty should be devoted to the crea-
greater becomes the anxiety to pre-
| ton Of these agents Of destruction;
but the greater the risk in war, the
serve peace, and after all, they assist
man in many forms Of productive en-
terprise. Once again we finish with
paradox-for that which Is invented
to destroy also increases mans power
to create and construct.-The London
Chronicle.

A NEW GUNPOWDER.
Safe From Concnssion and Very Pow
erfuI In Effect.

erful In Effect.
The ordnance officers of the army are
to make test Of powder for which
great things are claimed. The powder
Is the invention of James G. Mitchell
of Reynolds. Ind, and, according to the
statements of William N. Forbis, his
representative here, it is much superior
to any powder now in use either in the
United States or abroad.
A claim in which the army officers
are much interested is that the powder
can be manufactured with the army,
not requiring an expensive plant nor
the enormous cost Of transportation.
Mr.. Forbis says it can be mixed in a
barrel as needed or stored away.
Dampness has no effect on it. A
sample was soaked in water for three
weeks, and ten minutes after being
taken out was ready for use.
Army officers are much interested in
the claim of the inventor that there is
no recoil Of a gun discharged by the
use of his powder. If the tests demon
strate this, the army and navy will
doubtless enter into negotiations for
the use Of it. The most expensive part
of the heavy guns on warships and
in land forts is the mechanism to take
up the recoil.
The powder is pinkish granulated
substance, and it is claimed has three
times the explosive force of any pow
der now in use. 1t is smokeless and
odorless. The agents Of the inventor
claim it gives off no gases of any kind
and Will prevent the headache so fire.
quent among the gunners of the army
and navy after target practice.
The new powder cannot be explod-
ed by concussion, but only by spark,
making it safer to handle than the
powder now in use.
Tests made by the inventor have
shown the force of the powder to be
sufficient to drive a bullet from a No.

The inventor has patented his for

CAREFUL OF THE THERMOMETER
In a certain village not very long ago,
a benevolent doctor offered to give a
thermometer to every cottage, careful
ly explaining it's use. Soon after their
arrival a district visitor entered one
house where the new thermometer
hung proudly in the middle Of the
room, dangling at the end Of a string.
The visitor complimented the owner
upon it and inquired if she remember

"Ay, that I do" was the reply. II

That mare insisted the owner, 'is

A GENTLE DEcEPTIoN.-A car or ous
filled with inside passengers was going
slowly UP long hill in County Wick
low, Ireland. The driver leaped down
from his seat in front and walked by
the side Of the horse. The poor beast
toiled slowly and wearily, but the six
passengers inside were too busily en-
gagged in conversation to notice how
slowly the car progressed.
Presently the driver opened the door
at the rear of the car and then shut 1t
again with a slam. The passengers
started, but thought the driver was
only assuring himself that the door
was securely closed.
A second time the fellow opened and
closed the door. The travellers turned
round angrily and asked why he dis
turbed them in that manner.
