story Of this monstrous organization

diction that New York City will

Of the white slave system with bared

defeated.

NEW MINE EXPLOSIVE.
Powerful In Effect and Will Not Ignite
Choke Damp or Fire Damp.

Powerful In Effect and Will Not Ignite
Choke Damp or Fire Damp.
A new explosive is made by mixing
perchlorate Of ammonia with an or
ganic substance containing tannin,
says the Scientific American. The per-
chlorate may be partly replaced by
nitrate Of ammonia or common salt
peter. Myrobolan and divi-divi are suit
able organic ingredients. A good ex-
plosive mixture consists Of thirty-six
parts Of myrobolan and sixty-fouf
parts Of perchlorate Of ammonia.
Nearly half Of the perchlorate may be
replaced by saltpeter. The proportions
are by weight, and all the ingredients
should be pulverized before being
mixed.
The new explosive is well adapted
for use In coal mines, as the tempera-
ture produced by its explosion is too
low to ignite either coal dust Choke
damp or marsh gas fire damp. 1t is
advisable to convert the mixture into a
plastic mass by the addition of fish
glue, oil or preferably agar-agar. The
explosive is very powerful, yet it is not
easily ignited by shocks and can be
handled with safety.

Fine old round tower; nice tumble

Let's go around the other side. Great
place, Ell? Worth a trip to see. There,
do you see that old staircase? Looks
Roman to me; what do you think?
tell you, man could write an his
torical novel out of old ruins If he
prowled long enough. Come on now;
let's meander on down town and look
at the church. AS soon as I look at
anything, I'm always ready to look
at something else. Let's go out
on this side and go back to town the
other way.
Where is the church? Ask some
one. What did she say? Down here?
Down we go, then. All, / suppose
that's it under the sidewalk. Nice
commanding situation for church, to
grade street by its tower! Why
don't they put in the guide-book
Street commands fine view of the
roof! There isn't time to go inside
unless Mrs Braytree wantsto miss
her train, and we don't want her to dc
that.
'This is the street to the gare, and
We'll run right along. l expect we can
get something to eat there, and get
that 1870 train for Beauvias. There
isn't anything in Beauvais that would
interest you, Mrs. Braytree; but
there's a church there that l want to
see. The guide-book says that Mr..
Ruskin says that the roof has got a
clear vertical fall that not many rocks
in the Alps can equal; I don't just
know what clear vertical fall may
be, but if there's q church anywhere
near as high as an Alp, l don't want
to miss seeing it.
There's the clock. You just have
time to get aboard comfortably. Don't

enough for them to paddle about on

have.

high. Wonder how high they are,
anyhow?

there was little left to be seen of the
castles' I don't see anything at all of
It. Maybe they took it down and
built the walls higher just to fool
tourists. Well, didn't come to Gisors
to caper about in park; let's go
out and look at the church-the guide
book says the church is worth seeing.
I think there's something very touch
ing about guide-book enthusiasm; it
keeps up so consistently right through
to the end. l feel as if my own en-
thusiasm was most run through now.
I don't know how Paris will affect
me.
81 VOW, I'm disappointed in Gisors
as a whole. / wish we'd gone to Les
Andelys instead. Les Andelys is
marked with an asterisk in the guide
book, and there's a castle there built
by Coeur-de-Lion. BY the way, Mrs.
Braytree, the Coeur-de-Lion itself is
buried in Rouen. Did you know that?
Nice joke, Ell? But, dear, dear, if
there's no castle here when we get
here, perhaps there'd be none there
when we got there. I'm beginning to
look upon Europe as confidence
game; I
well is that the castle! Great
Scott! but it must have been big. It's
big yet, and the book said there was
very little left to see. I'm beginning
to lose faith in that book. Picturesque
idea, having the park hide the ruins
till you come right smash on to them.
