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 its extreme explosiveness some damp iodide of nitrogen was rubbed on the strings of bass viol. It is known that the strings of such an instrument will vibrate when those of a 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. It was found that the explo- sion occurred only when a rate of vi- bratiou of sixty A 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 effect.-Chicago Record-Herald.

NAVY SECOND OF SEA POWERS
Uncle Sam Ranks Next to England,
 France Is Third and Japan Fifth.

Washington, Dec. ?. - The United States has taken her place as the sec ond naval power of the world-at least so far as strength is measured in the preponderance of tonnage. This coun- try today possesses warships register ing greater tonnage than any other nation on the globe save England. This is shown by the annual report of Secretary of the Navy Victor H. Met calf, which was made public. As shown by tables submitted by the secretary, the United States pos sesses war vessels registering in the aggregate 11,616 tons, and while Eng land leads this with registered az gregate tonnage of 1,633,116, Japan, which was said to be striding into the forefront of world naval powers, stands fifth on the list. Her aggre- gate tonnage is only 3I4,104. France is third, with an aggregate of 609,019 tons in warships of all kinds. while Germany is fourth. Her aggregate register in war craft is plac- ed at 529,032 tons.

PREACHERS SCORE JEWS.
Hebrews Are Blamed For Action of
 New York Board of Education.

New York, Dec. 2. - Bitterly de- nouncing the board of education for having thought of eliminating religion from public schools and asserting that such action would tend to make the country devoid of Christianity, several clergymen spoke at a meeting in the Central Presbyterian church at lief ferson and Marcy avenues. Brooklyn. Borough President Coler was chair man. Among the 2,500 listeners were hundreds of old men and women who forgot how tired they were and stood for two hours while speakers uttered threats against the Jews and others who they said were responsible for the action of the board of education.
 The Rev. Dr. A. D. Carlisle said the board had been induced to begin the war on religion by Jews and anti Christians.
 "I would that I were addressing a Jewish audience for it's own good" said the speaker. 'I have learned the Jew has an utter disregard for the customs and wishes of the people with whom he dwells. He has become un- popular in all countries and intolera- ble in most. If he goes on as he has been doing he will find it just as un- comfortable in this country as he has found it in others. There will come a time when the Jews no longer will scoff at Zionism. Their experiences have been hard in other lands. and they will undoubtedly find it so here. The only answer to the problem is Palestine"
 Soon they will want no chaplains in the navy and army" said the Rev. Dr. Rogers. "The president of this country will not be permitted to be re- ligious; neither will the governors Of the states. But they won't have thei, way. Christianity is the great prii of America. as are it's public schools
 Resolutions were passed in favor maintaining existing Christian fes lures in public schools" This cor mittee was elected to oppose any II favorable move by the board of q. cation: Charles A. Schieren. cha man; Bird s. Co!er. Andrew D. Bail W. C. HumstOne. Henry F.. Ide. D win R. James, IT.. and Horatio King.

Why a Swelling Follows a Blow.

The swelling which follows from a blow is natures effort to protect the part from further injury and to keep it at rest while repair is going on. What actually takes place at the seat of in- jury is not even now quite understood. The injury to the smaller blood vessels interferes with the flow of blood through them, and the white corpus cles. with part of the serum, the wa tering part of the blood, escape into the surrounding tissues. At the same time the blood vessels in the nelghbor
 hood dilate. and the increased flow of blood with the thoroughfare obstructed increases the swelling. It is probable that the white corpuscles of the blood pass into the tissues to assist in the re- pair, as bees or ants assemble at an in jury to their storehouse, but with this difference-that the substance of the corpuscles is probably converted into the tissue of repair. From one point of view the human body is only one gi- gantic colony of individuals and the swelling that follows injury but the rush of these to repair the breach.

are exchanged with the United States. Under these circumstances numerous questions necessarily arise between the two countries. These questions are al- ways approached and disposed of in a spirit of mutual courtesy and fair deal ing. Americans carrying on business in Mexico testify uniformly to the kindness and consideration with which they are treated and their sense of the security of their property and enter prises under the wise administration of the great statesman who has so long held the office of chief magistrate of that republic.
 The two governments have been unit ing their efforts for considerable time past to aid Central America in attain ing the degree of peace and order which have made possible the pros- perity of the northern parts of the con tinent. After the peace between Guate- mala, Honduras and Salvador. celebrat- ed under the circumstances described in my last message a new war broke out between the republics of Nicara- qua, Honduras and Salvador. The ef- fort to compose this new difficulty has resulted in the acceptance of the joint suggestion of the presidents of Mexico and of the United States for a general peace conference between all the coun- tries of Central America. On the 17th day of September last protocol was | signed between the representative of five Central American countries ac- credited to this government agreeing upon a conference to be held in the city of Washington fin order to devise the means of preserving the good re- lations> among said republics and bringing about permanent peace in those countries The protocol in cludes the expression of wish that the presidents of the United States and Mexico should appoint representatives to lend their good and impartial offices in purely friendly way toward the realization of the objects of the con- ference" The conference is now in session and will have our best wishes and where it is practicable our friend ly assistance.
 Bureau of American Republics.
 One of the results of the pan-Amer- ican conference at Rio Janeiro in the summer of 1906 has been a great in- crease in the activity and usefulness of the international bureau of Amer ican republics. That institution, which includes all the American republics in its membership ard brings all their representatives together, is doing a really valuable work in informing the people of the United States about the other republics and in making the United States known to them. Its ac- tion is now limited by appropriations determined when 1t was doing a work on much smaller scale and rendering much less valuable service. I recom- mend that the contribution of this gov ernment to the expenses of the bureau be made commensurate with its in- creased work.
