When Explosives Explode

And yet a popular notion that ex-
plosives will "go off" by any simple
method is wrong. Many of the most
powerful explosives imaginable may
be kicked about, may be set on fire or
may be shot out of a gun, and unless
the proper agency for exploding them
is employed, they will not "go off"
and will do no damage. The reason
for this may be explained by an il
lustrat;on. Consider CRATE full Of
coal. There Is there enough of what
we may call explosive energy to
throw 1000-pound weight through
a foot of solid steel--if only 1t could
be liberated. But there can be no
explosion without oxygen, and the
coal in'the crate will not burn faster
than the supply of oxygen in the air
which reaches 1t will permit. II the
coal could be furnished, all at once.
with enough air to cause its complete
burning, 1t would explode with as
great violence as IL 1t were SO much
dynamite. From Mature and
Science" In st. Nicholas.

Humorous Chinese Graft i.

A certain Chinese taotai (magis-
trate) having told his men to have
two ingots of gold sent to his treasury
for purchase the shopmen brought
them in, and in answer to the query
Of the taotai, told him that the price
was so much in taels, but added:
This is the ordinary price, but for
Your Honor we will knock off one
half of the price" Then the taotai
said to his underlings: Seeing that
they are to sell to me at only half
price, just give them back one ingot
of gold and put the other in my treas
ury, and thus their account Is settled.
Goodbye" So the underlings of the
yamen did so, but still the shopmen
hung around waiting. The taotai
asked them why they were waiting,
when their account had already
been settled. Said the shopmen:
when did Your Honor pay your
humble servants?" Then the magis-
trate answered with a very fierce air:
"Tiao Nu Ts'ai!" (impertient slaves)
did you not say that these two gold
ingots were half price to me? Then
did not give you back one ingot and
keep the other and thus settle your
account without the least injustice
according to your own proposition?
So be off with you, or my lictors will
give you taste of the scourge!"-

an impromptu insight into Miss Lynch's
character that really did him credit. II

matters, of course, and 1t would be

After which master-stroke Miss
Lynch never gave another struggle.
She felt in her heart that Jane had far
better keep away from this ball at
Yatton. She knew what danger there
must be for the girl paraGing before

of ancestors. Frau Selenka will not
