WAS A PREMoNITIoN.

Sermon on Call of Death Angel Drove
 Her Home to Find That Three Had
 Gone.
 In the hush which ruled over the congregation in the Church of Our Lady of Mercy, at Coney Island, dur ing the pastors sermon at o'clock mass Sunday morning, Mrs. Louisa Burns was filled with strange un- rest. Father Brophy had chosen for his subject the visitations of the Angel of Death upon those who had no fore-Warning of the end.
 The solemnity of the sermon i'm pressed none in the congregation more than Mrs. Burns. She could not re- press her agitation. Her husband. who accompanied her, observed this and sought to comfort .her. She whispered to him that a premonitfon had seized her that all was not well in their home. Try as she would, she could not dispel the shadow. His wife's explanation of her emotion seemed all the more remarkable to Burns because of her cheerful spirits on the way to church. She had talked of their little 5-year-old Louise. whome they had left sleeping. With the young couple live the Wife's aged

PRODUCTION OF EXPLOSIVES.

Some Chemical Combinations-Cor
 and Nitroglycerin.
 < High explosives, properly socalleG N are those which will not explode except
 under special conditions Ordinary < black powder gives out it's explosive 2 property if ignited by match or a spark. An explosion results because
 black powder is an intimate mechanical
 mixture of certain combustibles which \ burn with great rapidity and produce N enormous pressures.
 A But to obtain full effect from high
 explosives a detonator must be used,
 and the rapidity of explosion of such <. explosives is very much greater than
 that of gunpowder. The basis of all # high explosives is achemical combina- ! tion of certain nitrogenous substances. I Nitrogen is an inert element, and
 therefore does not maintain @ firm grip s of the substances with which it-is uni I ted, and such substances are said to be
 unstable.
 In the production of high explosives E the object is to produce a substance which, while reasonably stable under
 certain ordinary conditions, can be put < into a condition of such excessive in- stability that 1t will decompose instan- < taneously. This instantaneous decom- position Is explosion, and it is brought a about with high explosives by means of
 a small detonator charge that is explo- { ded in the middle of the charge of high
 explosives and thereby gives such a l. shock to the chemical molecular struc- s ture of the high explosive that the la tent instability is invited and explosion ensues.
 A detonator for this purpose usually consists of a shell containing com pound known as illuminate of mercury,
 with which is sometimes mixed a chlo- rate, and 8 detonator must be of such
 size and power as to be capable of bringing about this condition of mo- 8 lecular instability throughout the whole ' Of the charge to be fired, otherwise portion of the charge may not be de- stroyed and may remain a subsequent danger in mine or elsewhere
 A safe and characteristic high explo- sive of the propulsive order is the cor < dite which is used in firearms of all sizes. Cordite consists of guncotton, H nitroglycerin and mineral jelly suita- ! sbly incorporated by aid of a solvent, acetone, which is dried out of the mix ture and leaves finished cordite as horny tough substance, resembling eel ! luloid in appearance
 Naturally in the production of an ex- plosiye the dangerous processes must be minimized, and cleanliness, accura- lcy and great care are required The nitroglyeerine used in cordite is a sub stance made by acting upon glycerineI which has been allowed to absorb a quantity of N. G.; technically is al dangerous liquid. but it can be made ssafe by certain admixture of other ma- terials
 Thus dynamite is merely Kieselguhr, For diatomaceous earth, oalcined and clean, which has been allowed to ab- sorb a quantity of N. G. The quantity absorbed must always be less than the capillarity of the cellular diatoms ena-

father and mother, MT. and Mrs
 Richard Hoppe. Mrs. Burns spoke lovingly of the affection which exist ed between little Louise and her grandparents.
 Mrs. Burns finally left the church before Father Brophys sermon was half finished Her agitation increased as she reached the street, and leaving her husbands side, she started to run He quickened his pace, but Mrs. Burns sped on ahead. She hastened toward the room where Louise occup- led crib at the side of MT. and Mrs Hoppe' bed. The room adJolns the kitchen and the occupants were sleep when MT. and Mrs. Burns departed for church. The fumes of gas struck terror to Mrs. Burns as she approach ed the room Throwing upon the door the miasma nearly overwhelmed her Holding a handkerchief to her face, she ruched to window and flung it open. Then she called to her father and mother who appeared al first glance to be sleeping. There was no response. She staggered toward the crib and caught her little daughter in her arms. The cheek which the mother pressed to hers was cold
 Burns had just joined the swift re- turn of his wife, and it was several minutes before he arrived. He called to her as he entered the door, and receiving no response sought the rear room. Mrs. Burns was lying on the floor, her face ashen, and folded in her arms was the form of their child. Burns saw at a glance the vii sitation of the Angel of Death or which Father Brophy had told In the sermon. Dr. Pierce was sun'moned and messengers were dispatched to the Kings County Hospital. Mrs. Burns was revived, but the surgeons could not resuscitate little Louise and the aged couple Investigation show ed that a rubber tube which had con- nectod a gas stove in the Kitchen had become disconnected. The cock at the jet was turned on and escaping gas filled the bedroom, overwhelming the sleepers without warning New York World,

bles them easily to retain without drip or overflow Kieselguhr, fully charged with N. G., So that the liquid leaks out of the compound, is as dangerous as the unabsorbed liquid, because when fully charged there is no capacity for lhhocuous compression and the full danger Of an incompressible unstable liquid may be developed by the most trivial cause
 In cordite, though solidity has been attained, the dangerous instability has been so far overcome that only by ig- milton can it again be brought into ac- tion' We may thus follow the manu- facture of this article as one of the safest and best known propellant ex- pIoslVes, for cordite is used only as an ammunition.-Cassier's Magazine.
