Forgetting His Own Picture.

Reynolds once forgot the exist
ence of one of his pictures. Burke
once obtained a very early work and
called on the great artist, submit
ting the work as that of a young
student who sought advice from the
master. Reynolds had a long look
and then asked, els the painter a
friend of yours?"
Burke replied in the affirmative.

DYNAMITE.
Materials Of Which This Terrible Ex-
piosive Is Made.

riosivo IS maoe.
The word dynamite" is in con-
slant use, but not n person in ff-
ty has any idea as to the materials
entering into the manufacture of
this terrible explosive or how it is
made. Giant, Hercules, Jupiter and
Atlas powders are all in fact dyna-
mite, differing principally in the
percentage of nitroglycerin they
contain and consequently the de-
gree of danger incidental to their
handling.
Nitroglycerin, discovered by an
Italian chemist in 1845, is a COM
pound of ordinary glycerin and
nitric acid and is the ingredient
which gives to dynamite its explo-
sive strength. Nitroglycerin alone
is extremely dangerous to handle
and for this reason and for the
sake of convenience is made into
giant powder, 30tto so per cent of
the deadly liquidfbeing worked into
a putty-like mass resembling brown
sugar, the base being rottenstone,
sawdust, earth, plaster of paris or
black powder. Dynamite proper is
prepared by kneading with the bare
hands rs per cent of infusorial earth
and Is per cent of nitroglycerin.
Before mixing the earth is calcined
in a furnace in order to burn out all
organic matter, and it is also sifted
to free it from large grains. While
still moist the mass is squeezed into
cartridges of parchment paper. The
firing is done by illuminate of silver
in copper capsules provided with
patent cxploders.
Nitroglycerin is made of nitric
acid one part and sulphuric acid two
parts, to which is added ordinary
glycerin, the mixture being well
washed with pure water. The infu-
sion is composed Of microscopic sill
ceous shells which have lost their
living creatures. The cellular parts
receive the nitroglycerin and hold
it by capillary attraction. This earth
is very light in weight.
Nitroglycerin has q sweet, arc
matte, pungent taste and the pc
culiar property Of causing a violent
headache if a small quantity is
placed on the tongue or wrist. 1t
freezes at 40 degrees F., becoming a
white, half crystallized mass, which
must be melted by the application
Of water at a temperature of 100
degrees New York Times.

THE DIVORCE PROBLEM.
Some Suggestions by Professor Sprague.

Some Suggestions by Professor Sprague.
Prof. R. J. Sprague of the University
of Maine suggested to the State confer
ence of charities and corrections in Port
land, October 9th, the following meas
ures to mitigate the divorce evil:
That civil marriage be given more of
the element of dignity and impressive
ness;marriages to be confined to churches,
homes and public rooms; publication of
the intentions of marriage; the require
ment of separation for one year before
the granting of divorce, and the CO.
operation of the people and churches to
work for sounder public sentiment.
Maine stands at the head of all States
east of the Allegheny mountains in the
number of divorces, said Prof. Sprague,
and IA per cent of all families are broken
up by the divorce courts. He said that
In the five years following 1877 there
were 2511 divorces in Maine, and in the
hive years following 1902 the number was
1859. He continued: ''Divorce is not the
evil in itself-if properly guarded. The
real evil to be combatted is the diseased
and unhealthy family and not primarily
the divorce system. Divorce granted for
sufficient causes and under proper regu-
! lation is benefit to society, and not an
evil, and adds to the sum of human hap
piness.
1T is the surgical operation on the
social body, regrettable, but made nee
essary by a diseased condition of the
family organism.
He found among the causes leading to
the obtaining of divorces a greater de-
gree. OF individual liberty, crabbedness,
the fact that with changed modern con-
ditions women no longer fear to face the
problem of getting an Independent living,
unrest and desire for change of loca-
ton and lax marriage laws.

THE FACTS OF THE CASE During the past
few days the attention of the faculty and
trustees of Freedom Academy has been called
to the rumor that is being circulated in the
surrounding towns that the school is about to
close. wish to take this opportunity to cor
rect such an impression. The trustees have
not at this writing, nor at any time, considered
such an idea. The school is not so large in
numbers as in past years, but we believe the
standard is fully as high. We are maintaining
three standard courses, all of which received
the approval of the State inspector at his an
nual tour of inspection in October, and State aid
for the same is assured for the coming year. The
school is also member of the list of schools
approved by the New England Entrance Board.
l might also state that the State department
has no jurisdiction over the opening or closing
of a term. They set forth certain require
ments which school must meet in order to re-
ceive their approval, but the town may main
tain school as long as it pleases, provided
they are willing to meet the expenses. 1t
would be poor policy, indeed, for school with
the record and reputation of Freedom Acad-
envy to close its doors because of slight fall
ing off in attendance from one year to another.
Not only is this unheard of rumor utterly with
out foundation, but opposed to reason as well.

The Rhodes Scholarships.

A few holes are punctured in "Oxford
Mans" widely circulated criticism of
the American Rhodes scholars by Roy K.
Hack of Williamstown, who speaks from
three-years' experience. He says that
with very few exceptions the Americans
have entered with genuine pleasure into
the life of their colleges, have joined
undergraduate clubs and taken part in
the weekly debates. While they could
not, like the English students, entertain
fellow-members at their homes. they
have given gladly all the breakfasts,
luncheons, teas and concrete hospitality
that their three hundred pounds would
permit. AS to segregating themselves
in the American Club, they are not per-
mitted to join it until they have been at
least two terms at Oxford. Zone must
also remember" he adds, chat the Lon
don Daily Mail is among the few English
newspapers which can fairly be COM
pared for 'yellowness' to the worst sec
ton of the American press. Boston
