EFFECT OF POWDER ON GUNS.
More Powerful Kinds Damage Ordnance
by Erosion or Burning.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
serious trouble that confronts the
modern artillerists is the tendency of the
smokeless powders that are now exclu-
sfvely used to burn out the interior lin
ing of the guns. particularly near the
powder chamber. The powder itself is
the cause Of more or less anxiety because
Of Its chemical instability. The erosion
or burning out of the interior tube of the
gun. which Is in immediate contact with
the powder gases. is due to the high pres
sure and intense heat of the gases
At the instant a charge Is fired great
volume of gas Is generated, and, being
confined in the powder chamber by the
projectile, its pressure rises to an enor-
nous amount, which, in the case of the
service charges in the United States guns.
is as high as seventeen tons to the square
inch. This Is accompanied by proper
tionate rise In the temperature of the
gases.
If 1t were possible to look into the pow
der chambers at the instant of discharge
1T would be found to be at dazzling
whfte heat. AS the projectile begins to
move down the bore of the gun these
white-hot gases rush out of the powder
chamber and as they stream from the
larger chamber into the smaller bore they
literally melt the hardened steel surface
of the bore. the process being probably as
sisted by some chemical reaction not yet
thoroughly understood.
The gases. under the enormous pressure.

USE OF HERBS DECLINING.
Good Old Remedies Our Grandfathers
Dug in Woods Have Passed Away.

from Meulcal 1hik
In the village Of Greenwich. England. in q
quaint old street where the buildings are SO
thick that they tangle themselves together
in a knot, there Is a queer little shop with
a sign over the door that reads. AN Herb
for Every Pain"
On the shelves of this shop are to be found
hundreds Of different kinds OF herbs for the
cure Of all bodily ailments. There can be
found all the oldtime herbs that our grand
mothers used to have hanging aroung the
walls OF the kitchen and stored away in tho
attic, ready to be made into teas and sirups
in case of sickness.
People who still have old-fashioned ideas
about health and sickness go there for
bugleweed, sumach wintergreen. sassafras,
camomile, horehound, yellow dock, catnip.
cherry bark, mullen, extract of oats iobelia
and so on. All these herbs have the reputa-
ton of being good for some one or more all
ments. Catnip for nervousness, sassafras
for the blood. horehound and boneaet for
colds. sumach for sore throat, wintergreen
Tor rheumatism, lobelia as an emetic In case
of poisoning, mullen for consumption ETC.
Nearly all of these herbs are made int
teas Sassafras tea, boneset tea and cat
nip tea are brewed and served either cold
or hot. Among the many hundreds of herbs
that are sold In this little shop are some
that are deadly poisonS. and they are la
beled and sold under the same restrictions
as other poiSons.
The good old remedies that our grand
fathers hunted and dug in the woods those
that our grandmothers planted and tended
in the garden, have given way to harmful
remedies, to drugs that leave the patient in
a worse condition than when he began their
use. We believe IL has been a mistake to
give UP the old remedies.

chose a gown made like this in all-white

From the Boston Advertiser.

ton on the part of the trust will without

been to a large degree fad and the trust

and you can do wonderful brassie work

man to whom long drive is the finest

But on the short game II is no better
than the guilty. In fact with the courses
laid out they were In the first years
of the game Ii Is not nearly as good. and
even today the science of the short game
has been entirely changed by its use. On
the greens the rubber-cored ball Is less

gives greater opportunity for pretty golf.
Nowadays the deadly pitch of the golfers
of former days is giving way to the roll

British artillerists have had great trouble
from erosion because of the quality of pow
der which they use. The powder Is known
as cordite. and the erosion is the price
which the Briti-h pay for certain desirable
qualities which are absent from other pow
ders that do not cause so much erosion.
Cordite consists of fifty-eight parts OF
nitroglycerin. thirty-seven parts OF gun cot
ton and FIVE parts vasellne, and It is re-
