Best Way to Destroy Gunpowder and
Nitroglycerin.

Best Way to Destroy Gunpowder and
Nitroslycerin.
The best way to destroy ordinary
black gunpowder Is to throw It into a
stream under conditions that prevent
any harm coming to human beings or
animals through the dissolving of the
saltpeter. If no suitable stream is
available, the gunpowder may be stir
red with water in tubs. or the dry gun.
powder may I've poured out on the
ground In a long thin line and ignited
with a fuse at one end.
To destroy dynamite cartridges the
paper wrappings SHOULD pe carefully
removed. the bare cartridges laid In a
row with their ends In contact aud the
first cartridge ignited with fuse with
out cap Even with these precau-
lions simultaneous explosion OF the
entire mass may occur, so that il II
wise to retire to safe distance The
row OF cartridges should be laid paral-
lei with the wind and ignited nj the
leeward end, so that the fiame will be
driven away from the mass
Frozen dynamite should be handled
with special care, as its combustion is
peculiarly liable TO assume an explo-
sive character \ small quantity Of
dynamite may be destroyed by throw
ing 1t in very small bits into an open
fire. or the cartridges may be exploded
one by one in the open air with fuses
and caps.
Dynamite should never be thrown
into water. as the nitroglycerin which
II contains remains undissolved and
capable Of doing mischief Other ex
plosives which contain nitroglycerin
should be treated in the same way as
dynamite.
Ammonium nitrate explosives may
be thrown in small fragments into an
open fire or If they do not contain nj
troglycerin may be destroyed by means
of water. Explosive caps should be ex-
ploded singly with pieces OF fuse.-Sci-

That was a good old comedy bishop
who one fine day entered a large jew
eler's establishment in Regent street,
London, to make an extensive purchase
Of valuable presents. He selected
them with great care as regards their
artistic value, but quite regardless OF
cost The proprietor and his assist
ants buZZed round his 1ordship. The
selected yaluables were packed in sep
arate parcels at his suggestion, neatly
tied and sealed, and he had just taken
seat in the private Office of the pro
prietor and was feeling in his pocket
for his check book when two men, who
had been ppering in at the glass door
leading to the street, walked up the
shop and stood behind the bishop
They were plainly dressed, sharp look
ing men and Tins bluntly addressed
the jeweler:

The bishop looked up saw the men,
turned pale, clutched the sides of the
chair. dropped his glasses and looked
as if he would bolt Before he could
