the maid announced that a gentle
man was waiting in the library to
see Miss Wells.
Nothing was heard from her until
as Elsie was going to her room that
night Miss Wells called her into her
room. Drawing Elsie down beside
her on the couch she said: II am

my earlier life and why I always

The Little Black Dress.
BY Louise Woodward.

Miss Wells was by far the best
liked teacher at the Welden Semi
nary for Young Ladies. She was tall
and slight. with dark hair and soft
brown eyes. She was quite pale, but
always dressed in black.
One evening she was In her room
with one Of her favorite pupils. Ell
sic Redmond by name.
Nothing had been said for some
time until Elsie broke the silence,
sayingI"I know have no right and
perhaps ! seem rude to you, but new
ertheless I am going to ask you why
1t is anyone so lively, Jolly and pret-
ty as you should always dress in
black"
Dear Elsie," the teacher said,
fondly patting her head, "you have
been such dear since came here
that / have learned to love you very
much,-but not quite yet can I tell
you; some time will, but please do
not ask tonight. You must think
am a peculiar old maid, but some
time you will understand"

then to take to his heels. Tie acid
quickly eats through the cork Of the
bottle, mingles with the chlorate of
potassium-and the bomb goes off
with disastrous results to any hap
less person or persons who may
chance to be In the vicinity. The lat
est improvement In this class of
bomb is to cover the box with a cas-
ing of cement, which by its resist
ance adds to the force of the explo-
sion.
Percussion bombs and bombs with
fuses are out of fashion, and are now
only employed by anarchists very
backward in the science of chemistry.
Explosives with a basis of chlo-
rates are the most formidable. Take,
for instance, asphaline, the basis Of
which is chlorate of potassium and
bran, and which is set off by powder;
either the famous green powder"
which is exceedingly powerful. and
into the composition of which enter
chlorate Of potassium, picric acid,
and another product, or Turpin
powder, in which a proportion of
pitch gives such Elasticity that it can
be handled almost without danger.
Then there is the bomb filled with
a mixture Of guncottoh and bicro-
mate of ammonium, and having a de-
tonator of illuminate, and another
made of picric acid and oxide of lead.
But these are far from being all
Of the weapons in the arsenal Of the
up-to-date bombmaker. In it we
find, In addition to dynamites and
nitroglycerine smokeless powder,
(camphorated collodion,) melenite
and lyddite (picric acid liquefied,)
cresylite, ecrasite, and many others.
Chemists say that In the near fu-
ture liquid air and liquid acetlyne
will be employed in the manufacture
of bombs. 1t is even asserted that
wireless telegraphy may be employed
by the anarchists. 1t Is said that a
recent invention permits a bomb of
liquid air being set of from a dis
tance at any time chosen by the an
archist by means of wireless cur
rent. This would render the discov-
cry Of the perpetrator of the crime
practically impossible.

ply neutrality-suspicious. With
Basis of CELEBRATES Most Formid-
able - Percussion Bombs and
Those With Fuses Out of Fashion.

The most dangerous feature Of re-
cent bomb outrages is not their num-
ber, though the increasing frequency
of such outrages, indicating as 1t
does that the ranks of the anarchists
are ever being reinforced, is a mat
ter of the greatest concern to every
civilized Government in the world.
The most alarming sign is the con-
tinual improvement that is being
made IN the construction of bombs.
Recently, in various countries.
bombs have accidentally exploded in
the hands of their makers and have
created havoc over quite wide area,
IN more than one instance wrecking
whole floors of hotels or houses.
Then, too, the number of persons
who can be killed by single bomb is
now much greater than 1t was when
these engines of destruction were
first introduced.
The time has not yet arrived when
a man or group of men can destroy a
city, but bombs are becoming more
and more powerful, and anarchists
are becoming, apparently, more and
more numerous. AS a matter of fact,
however, the great majority of bomb
makers are unable, owing to lack OF
education and skill, to make full use
of the means of destruction at the
command of a clever chemist. When
such a man as Morales, who threw
the bomb at King Alfonso, turns
anarchist, the result can be appal-
ling. He was a profound student of
chemistry and practical chemist,
and he made bomb which literally
scattered death.
The ordinary anarchists and Rus
sian Terrorists are far from possess
Ing Morales skill, though the Rus
sians have among their number Sc g.
ral able bomb makers. Even in Russia
however the deaths due to the acct
dental discharge of bombs have re-
Gently been almost as numerous as
the assassinations. In Warsaw, for
instance, a roomful of the mangled
remains of bomb makers was found
after one explosion.
A writer In a French paper de-
Icribes some OF the methods at pres
ent in use of manufacturing bombs
and Internal machines. The num-
ber of explosives that can be used is
remarkable. The easiest bomb to
make, and, therefore, the one that
has been most employed by terror
lists, is set in operation merely by

An Antiphony of Love.

A poet has said that "as for
Browning's love for his wife, moth
ing more tender and chivalrous has
ever been told of ideal lovers in an
ideal romance. 1t Is so beautiful a
story that one often prefers 1t to the
sweetest or loftiest poem that came
from the lips of either" True; yet
the lives of the two as poets make
the story what 1t is. Their lives,
indeed, were poems, as Milton said
poets lives should be, and their
poetry was their life, as Mrs. Brown
ing said should also be true of poets.
The world could spare neither the
lives nor the poems, and especially
would it be poor without those
poems in which each sang of the
other. Take these together, was
there ever, in all the treasury of the
worlds literature. so angelical an
antiphony of love, anthemed by the
two radiant and immortal lovers
themselves Century
