Explosion by Music.

One Of the most dangerous of all ex-
plosives is black powder called iodide
of nitrogen. When it is dry the slight
est touch will often cause it to explode
with great violence. There appears to
be a certain rate of vibration which
this compound cannot resist. In ex-
periments to determine the cause of
it's extreme eXplosiveness some damp
iodide of nitrogen was rubbed on the
strings Of bass viol 1t is known
that the strings of such an instrument
will vibrate when those of similar
instrument having an equal tension are
played upon. In this case. after the
explosive had become thoroughly dry
upon the strings, another bass viol was
brought near and the strings sounded.
At a certain note the iodide Of nitro
gen on the prepared instrument ex-
ploded 1t was found that the explo-
sion occurred only when rate. Of vi
bration Of sixty second was COM
municated to the prepared strings. vi
bration Of the G string caused an ex-
plosion, while that Of the e string had
no efect.-Chicago Record Herald.

A Crisis and a Craze.

There are two forces which cause
modern England to move-a crisis and

something that is great now in this
country than it is to do something that
will attract the attention of a great
many. The circumstances might have
had a curious effect on the celebrated
of the past could they have delayed ex-
listing until now. For instance, Shake
speare today would probably have had

tain the attention of playgoers, Crom-
we'll might have found it advisable to
take trips in "navigable ballOon'' to
keep himself before the general public,
Garrick might have elected to descend
from the skies in parachute to adver-
tise himself satisfactorily. and it might
have been necessary for the beautiful
Duchess of Devonshire, to maintain
her. social reputation, to figure occa-
sionally in the divorce court. Motor
accidents. thefts of jewelry and of

tant elements in the building up and

While cruising in the south seas the
whaler Essex was furiously attacked
by a COW sperm whale supposed to
have been the mother of a calf which
had just been harpooned The whale
had not been wounded herself, and her
attack was very determined. At her
first rush she passed under the Essex
and carried away great length of her
false keel; then, coming to the surface
a considerable distance away, she ap-
peared to take bearings and deliber-
ately charged the vessel again, ram
ming her with such violence that she
stove in the bows, while the ship roll

she must be dismasted The case is

especially the dog is indeed the friend
of man. He is made to work He
gets little play except that small
amount deemed sufficient to prevent
canine dullness. yet he is so loved and
so we'll cared for by his owner that
he becomes most important member
of the family. The farmer, the trades
man, the householder, the guardsman
of the frontier worships his dog-one
of the first things he thinks of when
founding his little home He takes de-
light in rousing the dogs intelligence
and loses no chance of pitting that in
telligence against others. Local farm
ers vie with each other to improve
breed. Dog clubs take up the work
holding exhibitions in villages and
towns. Cities challenge neighboring
municipalities to contests on the grand

Many Color Lines In Cuba.

There are social distinctions in Cuba
based upon color. There is not one
but several color lines, though these
are not eternal, hard, fast and un-
changeable, as in the United States. In
Cuba social life is run largely by
social clubs. There are in almost ev-
cry town and village negro clubs, two
or three grades of mulatto clubs and
white clubs. In one and at it's func-
tons may appear the husband, exclud
ing the wife;N in another, the wife,
but not the husband; in third, their
children, but neither the father nor
mother. To the world this will appear
Incredible, almost incomprehensible.
Here It is convention, fixed, settled, ac-
copied and operative. These distinc-
tons, however, run but for a lifetime.
