Action Of Dynamite.

The most remarkable characteristic
about dynamite is its rapidlty of ac-
ton. and for that reason it cannot be
used in firearms. since it explodes so
quickly and in all directions ut once
and would tear the barrel to pieces.
Shooting a candle through a board
without disturbing it in the least is
outdone by dynamite. which is so
quick in it's action that a tender green
leaf can be compressed into the hard
est steel before it has time to flatten.
One of the experiments of the United
States torpedo works was to place
some leaves between two heavy fiat
pieces of iron. set them on a firm foun-
dation and see what gun cotton would
do in forcing the iron pieces together.
The reaction was SO great from just
being exploded in the open air that
n Of the iron pieces was driven down
upon the other quick enough to catch
an exact and complete impression of
the leaves before they could escape.

1t was Nan whom Christy sought

CHR|STY'S TRIPLE
THANKSGIVING
BY CARL WILLIAMS.

IT had just come in his car from
the Beacon-Hargrave we'd
ding. In Howard Christy's
estimation all weddings were
bores, but n must be bored in the
cause Of a merger still hanging fire.
And now, with the ceremony and
quickly dispatched reception behind
him. he vas headed for the office once
more. His patient secretary would be
awaiting him.
"Mother!"
In the half gloom, half mist Of the
oncoming twilight, as his car was
wedged in among o Of other We
hicles in front of the Grand Central
station. he heard that word, and heav-
en- only knows why he leaned forward
to see who had uttered it.
He looked straight into the dewy
depths Of wonderful violet eyes, but
they were not fixed on him.
They looked far beyond, across the
tangle Of vehicles, to where a woman
with soft brown hair and beautiful
gray eyes smiled to the girl from out

Christy forgot to urge his chauffeur
to get out Of the tangle somehow. he

Trains As Plant Distributor,

1t has been noticed that many plants
not natives of the locality are to be
found growing in the neighborhood of
great railroad yards. Sometimes the
seeds Of these plants have been
brought thousands of miles from their
natural habitat. Often they flourish
In their new environments and grad
ually spread over the surrounding
country. Thus the trains carry unsus
pected emigrants which travel to and
from every point of the compass. In
the Mississippi valley are to be found
plants which within a few years past
have thus been brought together, some
from the Atlantic seaboard, some from
the gulf region and some from the
other side Of the Rocky mountains
