What Happens When Lyddfte and
Similar Compounds Explode.
When left alone to it's natural func-
lions nitrogen pursues a perfectly
peaceful course, but when man sue
ceeds in capturing it and combining 1t
with other elements it becomes dire
potentiality for evil. The love of free
dom, so to speak, characteristic of nj
trogen Is terribly exemplified in the ex-
plosion of the bomb in which 1t Is I'M
prisoned and bound to other elements.
On the slightest provocation-a spark.
q shock, q fuse-the nitrogen suddenly
expands from seemingly nothing as re-
CARDS the space which it occupies into
infinity. This is in reality what hap
pens when dynamite, lyddite or other
unstable nitro compounds explode when
hurled in shells in warfare and in
bombs in desperate attacks on human
lives. Nitrogen, against its natural dis
position. is locked up in an uncongenial
space in these compounds, from which
1t is set free by very simple means In
an enormously expanded gaseous state
with deadly effect, returning. in fact
to its normal peaceful mission once
more. 1t is the analogue of the sword
and the plowshare; in the nitro eXplo
sive nitrogen is the modern engine OF
warfare and crime; in the free state In
the atmosphere it ministers directly tc
the quiet and peaceful needs of plant
and human life.--London Lancet.

INDIAN MARRIAGES.
Peculiar Rites of the Hopi and thu
Navajo Tribes.

Fecuiiar Kites OF the HoPf aho ens
Navajo Tribes.
Marriage among the Topi. tribe of
the Pueblo Indians, is an institution
regarding which those most concerned
have least to say. When the parents
of girl find il expedient for her to
get married, they look up an available
man and negotiate with his parents.
After the matter has been arranged
the principals are notified. The girl goes
to the home of the groom's parents
and grinds corn for them for three
weeks. while the groom makes kind
Of sash for the bride. Then one morn
ing at sunrise they both battle their
heads in cold water. which completes
the ceremony. There have been in
stances OF the groom's refusing to go
through the performance, which has
then proceeded without him and been
accounted valid, and several weeks
later he has yielded and had his head
bathed.
The Navajo ceremony Is much more
elaborate and impressive, but then the
Navajo girls are much nicer. The reg
ular tariff on a Navajo girl entering
the port Of matrimony for the first
time is twelve horses. On the second
occasion the tax is nine horses. while
subsequent entries are free.
This is not purchase money, but is
merely a tribute of respect to q
mother-in-law and a token Of apprecia-
ton of the care and expense involved
in bearing and rearing the lady, a
recognition not unworthy Of considera.
ton by civilized grooms. On the other
hand, and deserving of great condem-
nation, is that law of many tribes, un-
written, but Of much sanctity, that a
man and his mother-in-law shall never
meet after the ceremony.-A. w. Dim
ock in Outing Magazine.

Increase Is Greater Proper
tionateIy to Increased
Expenditures.
BUSINESS is COMPLEX.
IT IS FOR THIS REASON Elk
PENSES ARE LARGER LESS
MONEY EXPENDED ON BOARD
ING OF COUNTY PRISONERS.

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 11-An anal
ysis of reports on county hnances
made to the state bureau of statistics
of which Mrs. Mary Stubs Moore Is
chief. shows that both the total re-
ceipts and the total expenditures In
the counties of the state have 1ncreas-
ed considerably within the past four
years. The increase in receipts has
been greater proportionately, however,
that that in expenditures.
The growing completely OF county
business has increased the expendlt-
ures from $685., 1881 in 1904 to D.
719, 797O8 in 1907, increase amount
ing to $7S6 O43.57. However to meet
the increased expenditures county rev.
enues were increased during the four
years from $1O,352 ,577.43 in 1904 to
S11,775, 6O2.38 in 1907, the increase
amounting to ST. ,423, O24.93. In other
words while the spending ability OF
the counties increased SS per cent IN
the four years the paying capacity
increased 1873 per cent, or per cent.
more, making the general financial
showing of the counties much better
than It was four years ago.
That this is true again Is attested
by a comparison of the returns on the
sale of county bonds. In 1904 $780,
321 IS or IL per cent Of the total re-
ceipts were derived from the sale OF
county bonds. In 1907 only $o76,766.-
81, or less than 5 per cent. OF the total
receipts came from this source. The
county receipts are greater in spite
of the fact that the loans are less. The
counties in the administration of their
business have more working capital
and are compelled to borrow less year
by year.
There has been noticeable decrease
in the amount expended by the coun-
ties in boarding prisoners in the coun-
ty tails. The cost of boarding prison
ers amounted to 1901 5000 in 1904; in
1905, sos, 1879, and in 1906, $685.
7O6.65. In 1907 the cost was reduced
to SOL sail. This reduction came
about through small decreases in a
majority of the counties.

GREAT CITIES.
A Theory That They Are a Sign Of
National Decadence.


The distribution of manufactures in
any country would be a most curious
and interesting subject of study. The
first thing to stand out conspicuously
in the investigation would be the grad
ual tendency toward concentration in
the larger cities and the gradual recess
sion Of manufactures outside them.
Certain sections Of the country are full
Of decaying communities, once active,
but from which the chief industries
have been withdrawn. If investigation
disclosed the fact that certain centers
Of manufacture had become such
through the possession of pre-eminent
natural advantages, such condition
would be easily explained; but, in fact,
natural advantages have comparative
ly little to do with the matter.
\ country consisting mainly Of large
cities with merely incidental rural pop
ulation has taken a long step toward
final disintegration. Moreover, even II
actual disintegration Is not imminent,
there exists the curious and anoma-
lous condition Of a community in which
the transportation and distribution of
commodities are the predominant ele-
ments, in which producer and consumer
stand at the ends Of long chain of
Intermediates. 1t is bad enough in
this respect even at present, but every
step toward further concentration of
industry and population makes ii
worse No country in which the pro-
ductive forces are steadily being sub
ordinated to an intricate land. upon the
whole, wastefuD mechanism of distri
button can long remain prosperous
