Mission for Non.cathoIies.

Some time after the first of the new
year Denver council 599. Knights OF
Columbus, will launch a mission for
.,~a-Catholics in the Denver Auditorl-
um. 1t is a monster undertaking,
and is perhaps the most stupendous
task a body of laymen has undertaken
anywhere The handsome new Audi
torium will be rented for one week, and
the foremost orators of the Catholic
church will be asked to come and
preach. The mission is not designed
for those already enrolled in the Cath
olic faith, but 1t will expound for the
general public the vital truths of Ca
tholicism.
The Auditorium in the form in which
the knights viii engage it will seat be-
tween 1000 and 5000 people. 1t is CEN
trally located, where people from al
sections of the city may reach it. The
idea which the knights viii carry tc
fulfilment is the result of the recent
conference on church extensio nheld a
Chicago. The cooperation OF the lay
men in all important movements wd'
urged, and the Denver knights of Co
lumbus were the first to see the posi-
bilities of such cooperation. The!
planned full week. s mission during tn
course of which the Catholic doctrine
will be exploited for the masses. Tn
expense viii be heavy, the rent Of th
Auditorium amounting to about S25
per night, but the success of the ven
ture from the standpoint Of spiritua
good is practically assured. Every pas
tor in Denver has his time taken up b,
those who are seeking the light, an
the mission will life load from thei
hands and accomplish quite as muc
good as long weeks of careful training

Why Snow Is White.

The reason snow is white is that all
the elementary cOlOrs are blended to-
gether in the radiance that is thrown
off from the surface of the crystals,
which may be examined in such a way
as to detect these colors before they
are mingled together to give the eye
the impression Of whiteness. The
whiteness Of the snow is also in some
degree referable to the quantity of air
which is left among the frozen parti-
Giles. Considerably more than a thou
sand distinct forms of snow crystals
have been enumerated. These minute
crystals and prisms reflect all the CON-
pound rays of which white light con-
sists. Pink and various other tints may
be seen reflected from sheets of snow
under certain angles of sunshine. So
much light is reflected by snow in the
day that the eyes often suffer from it.
and enough is given in the night to
guide the traveller in the absence Of
artificial light or moonlight.-Chicag
Tribune.
The Kennewick courier. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1905-1914, 1908-02-14

The explosion of gunpowder is divid-
ed into three distinct stages, called the
ignition, Inflammation and combustion.
The ignition is the setting on fire Of
the first grain, while the Inflammation
is the spreading Of the flame over the
surface of the powder from the point
Of ignition. Combustion Is the burn
ing up Of each grain. The value Of
gunpowder Is due to the fact that
when subjected to sufficient heat it be-
comes a gas which expands with
frightful rapidity. The so called ex-
plosion that takes place when a match
IS touched to gunpowder is merely Il
chemical change, during which there
IS sudden evolution of gases from
the original solid. 1t has been CAL
culated that ordinary gunp4wder on
exploding expands about 5000 times
or fills a space this much larger as a
gas than when in solid form. When
this chemical change takes place in
a closed vessel the expansion may be
made to do a work like that of forcing
a projectile along the bore Of the
great gun or test tube in the line Of
least resistance.
