NEW POWDER CAUSED
ACCIDENT ON MISSOURI

Washington, d. c., March 80. -
The new powder in use by the Navy
is held by experts of the Naval Bu-
reau of Ordnance to have been re-
sponsible for the blowing off of the
muzzle of 6-inch gun on the Mis-
souri, while In practice in Magdalena
Bay.
The accident shows that the burst
ing of the projectile did not take
place until II had travelled 100
inches from the breeCh of the gun
and within fourteen inches of the
muzzle. The old ammunition burned
rapidly and its full force would have
been instantly felt by the shell, caus-
ing It to explode near the breech. The
new powder Is of slower combustion
and its full force IL not felt until the
projeCtile Is about to leave the muz-
gle.
It is held that this theory does
not explain that one of the 5-inch
guns Of the Iowa blew its head or
while the old powder was in use. EX-
perts recently have explained this
accident as due to the careless hand
ling of the powder. 1t is claimed
that the powder was packed too
denscly for soft charge.
At the arsenal where the packing
was done 1t was discovered that the
packers had engaged in a contest to
see which one could pack the greater
number of shells in given time. Ell
forts were made to secure all the
pack them, but one at least reached
the Iowa with the disastrous result
indicated.

BATTLESHIP WORK STOPPED

Washington, ID. c., March "a. &C.,
With officials of the Navy Depart
ment straining every nerve to facili-
tate the completion of the two
Dreadnoughts, tho premier battle
ships of the Navy, they and tho
country are now faced with indeter-
inmate cessation of work on the bat
tleships and other serious conse-
quences because of the failure of Con
gress to make appropriations for tho
work as it progresses.
Victor II. Metcalf, Secretary of the
Navy, today sent an urgent appeal
to Chairman Tawney of the House
Committee on Appropriations, asking
that Il deficiency appropriation OF
two millions be made at once by
Congress; that the work of construct.
ing of battleships be not interfered
with and that the various navy yards
be kept open.
The report that there would be
many dismissals at the various navy
yards by reason Of the lack of funds,
caused James O'Connell and other la
Dor leaders representing the navy
yard employees to call on Secretary
Metcalf. The Secretary assured this
committee that as there was every
probability that the funds he had
asked for would be appropriated,
there need be no fear of reduction in
the forces at the various navy yards.

AN INTERESTING
CHEMICAL EXPERIMENT
Any Child Can Do 1.-THE Result 10
Almost Like Magic-UsefuI, Too.

Anything in the nature of chem
ical experiment is always interesting
and usually educatiVe. Here is SIM
pie experiment which any child can
perform and which is instructive in q
very practical way: Get bit of White
Lead about the size of pea, a piece
of charcoal, common candle in a
candlestick, and a blow-pipe. Scoop
out little hollow in the charcoal to
hold the White Lead, then light the
candle, take the charcoal and lead in
one hand and the blow-pipe in the
other, with the large end Of the blow
pipe between the lips; blow the flame
of the candle steadily against the bit
of White Lead on the charcoal and If
the White Lead is pure it will pres
entity resolve itself into little shining
globules of metallic lead, under the
intense heat of the blow-pipe, leaving
no residue.
il, however, the White Lead is adul-
terated in the slightest degree, it will
not wholly change into lead. So, it
will be seen, that this experiment is
not only an entertaining chemical
demonstration, but also of practical
use in the home. White Lead is the
most important ingredient of paint.
II should be bought pure and unadul-
terated and mixed with pure linseed
oil. That is the best paint. The
above easy experiment enables any
one to know whether the paint is the
kind which will wear or not

Romance of Caroline Fraser.
All but two of the American women
I have mentioned are the happy
mothers of young mobiles of proud
lineage Could you find more roman
tic case than that of Caroline Fraser
and her issue? When the princely
Murats-history makers-took refuge
in Bordentown, N. j., Caroline was
governess in the family. The heir
married her-and stuck tight to her
always. She is dead several years
since; but her children, keeping her
blue eyes and corn-yellow hair, have
married everywhere.
The most romantic of these Ameri-
can-mothered Murat men espoused the
utterly romantic Circassian Princess
Daien, Zephita by name, lovely beyond
words, daughter and sole heir of the
sovereign house of Mingrelia-which
land you can hunt in southern Russia.
He is there, king to-day, the boy
from Bordentown!
OF all the French counts, none stand
higher in history or society than the
Chambruns. When Louis XIV. erected
all those marquisates, Comte de
Chambrun got one of the first, and the
Chambruns always have had sense.
They kept much of their land through
the revolution; they had shifted a
good lot of liquid cash OF England, and
at the restoration they were among
the first to get whack at the $780,
100000 voted as compensation to the
martyred nobility.
Chambrun's Good Sense.
To prove that horse sense has not
left the family, the Marquis de Cham
brun snapped up an American girl, of
the Rives-Nichols family of Virginia,

The Chambruns are playing most
prominent part in the great effort to
improve the social situation of the
French working classes. At home, in
their three chatteaux, they are patri-
archal masters of land as far as the
eye can see. There are no wretched
poor in their villages. Their farmers
are the proud and prosperous masters
of blood stock, newest agricultural
machinery, silos, distilleries, grain
mills, canning factories-and what do
Il know? The American girls who
came to the Chambruns showed the
way to the men, who profited intelli-
gently and thankfully. No Chambrun
has wasted a dollar of American
money.

Haritoff, who formerly had his own

sions he presented to three ladies In
his prime, lived hard broke of late
years; but everyone felt pitying and
friendly to him.
At Monte Carlo Decazes, with live

to dinner. After coffee, talking old
times with a mature lady of the thea

system to beat roulette. With 1000
franc note he could attain to fortune.

ostentatiously kicked Haritoff in the
posterior before the great public of
the atrium of the Casino.
Everyone called it a savage act
Friends represented to Decazes it was
his fault to have left Haritoff alone
with anyone who had 1000 francs; his
weakness and necessities were known.
Therefore the duke, kindly at heart,
consented to meet Haritoff in a duel,
where no one was hurt; but his old
friend never recovered from the dis
grace, and died a few months after.

All is not one-sided. 1t has been OBJ

them quite wholesale. Thus Miss

Well, Comte Horace de Choiseul
saw that his elder brother, the Due de

Miss Forbes of New York for such a
long time, that he espoused Miss
Hooper, Both these Choiseul-Praslin
wives are absolutely happy, quite as

For trade, he is captain of hussars.
His private life is most passed at
