Dynamite.

The action of dynamite is compara-
lively precise. The firing point is $50
degrees c. At that temperature it
either burns or eXplodes. If free from
all pressure. jar, vibration or force of
any kind it merely burns. That is
how it comes about that one can burn
dynamite safely in the hand if all
conditions be wholly favorable. But
any least vibration from such requi-
sites will cause an explosion, which is
an excellent reason for avoiding too
intimate ventures with the compound
When ignited in small quantities in
the open air dynamite does nothing
more startling than to burn tiercely
When, however, larger quantities are
ignited explosion almost invariably re-
suits. as the temperature is raised by
the tiames.-Chicago Record Herald.

Docs Your Cat Couoh7

Poor pussy. AS If the immemorial
charges against her of Keeping us
awake o nights and OF eating canary
birds whenever she gets the chance
were not enough. the doctors have Just
discovered that for years she has been
responsible for the spread Of diphthe-
ria. DR.. G. j. Awburn of Manchester.
England, having traced an epidemic Of
this disease in a suburb of that city
to a pet cat belonging to one Of his
patients, has found. after much clever
investigation. that all cats are pecul-
iarly susceptible to diphtheritic affec-
dons of the throat. He has therefore
recently been warning all families
who own cats to watch them carefully
and If they develop coughs to forbid
their being hugged and petted. DR..
Awburn further recommends that if
the cough persists and the cat begins
70 grow thin to have the animal de-
stroyed at once. The only really safe
way. he says, is to let the first wheeze
be pussy's death warrant.-New York
