CORDITE.
1e9H1


Made Of Two Powerful Explosives
knsaded Into Paste.
Cordite Is the outcome of the strange
paradox that If you mix together two
powerful explosives the result is a
smokeless slow burning powder. Nj
troglycerin and gun cotton mixed to-
gether with a little petroleum j""r
make corf1ite. 1t is curious to see
two deadly explosives being kneaded
together into a paste by women with
the same as dough is knead-
ed for bread. Indeed, machines SINH
lar to those used in bakeries take up
the work and knead the buff colored
eordite paste for seven hours. Then 1t
is forced through molds and issues In
long co~rds-hence the name cordite-
the thickness of which is varied ac-
tcording TO the weapon in which 1t Is
to be used.
For big guns cordite is half an inch
thick and cut into lengths Of thirty
seven inches. Rather more than a
ed in two bundles make up the car
fridge for a twelve inch gun. For the
rifle cordite is pressed into a very thin
string, like the finest macaroni, and
sixty Of these strands n inch and a
half long make the neat little bundle
which lies inside the cartridge case.
! For some European armies cordite Is
made In fat thin strips like whale
bone. Kept away from fire, cordite
can be handled with impunity Lon

A Nhiaaka Hsro.

At Looping Hsien Is a statue draped
in full dress of a mandarin (the pu
ting or police master) named Chin,
who gave his life for the people. An
exile who was in the camp at Jao-
chow and who owed the hsien district
magistTate) a grudge, rode a black
horse to Looping and, having killed the
bsien, got back for the Jaochow roll
call next morning. AS the murderer
could not be found orders came from
the capital that a large number Of the
people should be killed. To prevent
this slaughter OF innocent folk the pu
ting, a good old man, said he stabbed
the hsien after a few words over The
wine cups, and he was consequently
beheaded. No resident Of the district
would deal the fatal blow, but an itin-
Grant cobbler or bamboo worker did 1t
for a reward of 20 taels. Tradition
adds that he was struck dead by hight
ming after leaving the execution ground.

A G%ASTR0N0MIC Joy.
Old English Recipe For the Famous
soupe a la Crecy.

Soupe a la Crecy.
In the illustrated London Cookery
Book" by Frederick Bishop, late cui-
siner to st. James palace, Earl Grey,
the Marquis of Stafford, Baron Roth
schild, Earl Norbury, Captain Dun
combe and many of the first families
of Great Britain (1852), we find this
recipe for soupe a la Crecy:
"Cut half q pound of lean ham In
dice, three onions, four turnips, twelve
carrots (the outer side red only, a head
of celery, q fagot of sweet herbs, two
blades of mace, six cloves, a bay leaf
and half a pound of salt butter. Fry
all down in q stewpan until they get q
little brown; then add some second
stock and stew until all the roots are
| quite tender; then rub 1t through a
fanny sieve or. fanny cloth with two
long spoons. If very thick add-more
stock. Season with cayenne and black
pepper and salt and q good bit of sug-
ar. Send up on a napkin some nice
| fried bread cut In small dice and not
greasy"
This is far less elaborate titan II
sounds and is, indeed, in the main the
recognized recipe for the royal soup
The spice Is, if anything, a trile over
done, and the carrots want to be well
chosen, as the slightest s~tringiness de
stroys the h~omogeneity of the com
pound. The bread dice aye imI tani
and should be fried in the very best
butter or ~superlatively good olive OIL

Maintains Of Moab,

Most travellers who visit the Holy
Land content themselves with a visit
to that restricted part west of Jordan.
The mountainous regions of Moab as
seen by them from Jerusalem are lost
In a purple haze that constantly hangs
over them, and the great stretches be-
yond sre covered in mystery. This
ia true partly because Of the fewer
historical Incidents connected with the
eastern regions, but mainly on account
of the great abyss Of the Jordan val
ley that has always acted as a barrier.
Few who descend into the valley 1890
feet below sea level undertake to climb
the hills beyond, which rise to a
height Of 5000 feet. Though its glory
Is far outshone by that OF western

A HINDU WIZARD.
His Trick That Puzzled an Occidental
Master of Magic.

His Trick That Puzzled an Occidental
Master of Magic.
Some of the tricks of the Hindu
wizards are past understanding, ac-
cording to an occidental master of
magic who was speaking of his orien-
tai rivals. This is what he says he
saw a Hindu wizard do in a club In
Lucknow:
He took a board and placed it on
four glass goblets, thus elevating it
from the floor. A youngster sitting on
the board was requested to place his
hands together, palms up. Then the
juggler took a glass Of water and
poured it into the outstretched hands
of the boy In the meantime the boy
had been mesmerized, and his atten-
ton was fixed on a point indicated by
the magician. Gradually the water
turned green in color and then devel-
opel into a Jelly which increased in
density until 1t became as solid as "a
stone. Out of the center of this APP
gradually developed until In the place
of the water there appeared a kissing
reptile. 1 was amazed, l can assure
you, but the trick was not yet COM
pleted. Hitting the reptile upon the
head with his wand, the juggler took
1t up carefully and placed 1t back In
the glass. AS we looked 1T became
transformed into a Jelly, which is turn
melted into a greenish colored water.
Clearer and clearer became the fluid
until 1t was of its original color, and
then the juggler placed it to his lips
and drank the entire contents. This
was the most wonderful trick I ever
saw performed, and 1t is as mysterious
to me today as 1t was then"

WRESTLER is
SEEKING HIS
TITLE AGAIN

Wrestling fans are promised a sea
son of interesting and exciting bouts
this winter. The annual invasion of
foreign stars. and near champions is
on. A match with Frank Gotch, the
kingpin of them all, Is the goal of
their ambitions, besides picking up
some of therloese coin that is laying
around Ia this country. Among the
foreign mat artists who recently ar
rived in this country are George Hack
enschmidt, +'ssthe Russian Lion:;" Zbys-
co, the Polish champion, and Yusuf
Mahmout, Turkeys best mat artist,
ALI the above mentioned have been
defeated by Goteh within the last
three years, but claim that If given
another chance they will reverse the
decision,
OF the three men Hackenschmidt Is
best entitled to a match with the
champion. Although "the Russian
Lton'' lost his title to Gotch after an
exhaustive contest which lasted for
two hours and forty.fve minutes, the
American failed to throw him once.
Hackenschmidt has never ceased to
regret the affair of 1903 In Chicago,
when he r~elinquished his worlds title
to Gotch. He is now satisfied that he
made "a great mistake In that match
by not rushing Gotch right Off the
reel instead OF standing and feinting
away two hours of valuable time.

Kills al ruherouIous Cows.

Lawrence-Dr. McClelland, deputy
pare food Inspector, has made re-
port to the board of health on the
condition of the dairy herds of Law
renee. DR. McClelland was called
here by the people of the town who
suspicioned that some of the dairy
COWS had tuberculosis. Their anx-
iety on that score was aroused by the
fact that when a dairyman drove a
few COWS from his herd through the
streets one OF the COWS fell from ex-
haustion and could not be moved.
The COW had been sold to a Kansas
City packing house, and was on the
way to the freight yards.
The inspector came to Lawrence
and made a report on two herds In
the two herds he found eleven cases
of tuberculosis and he ordered the vic
.ltims of the disease killed at once. He
intimates that next week there may
be a wholesale slaughter.

Number of Idle Men Laroey

in Kansas right now than at any
time since 1898, according to Charles
Harris, director of the state free EN-.
ployment bureau.
I lay 1t to weather conditions said
he. We had a fearful wet fall, and
following the wet spell along came
the cold weather. For more than two
months now nearly all public work III
the cities has been abandoned; out
door work, / mean. In the country,
the farmers have been unable to haul
their crops to town on account of bad
roads, and all farm work has prac-
tically been abandoned, except the
feeding of stock. The surplus farm
labor has drifted to the cities and this,
with the unemployed already in the
cities, makes big army"
Another thing that puzzles the di
rector is the light demand now fol
servant girls. Usually the demand
for house servants exceed the supply
In the past the director has been able
to give house servant her choice OF
a half dozen places to go to, but not
so now.
This department has more dealings
with farmers than any other class of
people, said he. The farmers seem
TO know all about it. No matter
what they want in the way of help
they send to us for it. The city PEG.
pie, aside from Topeka, do not patron
ize us to any extent.

priation to enable him to- use the

DIFFER AS TO YOKE STYLES
Artist Designers Show Disposition tc
Reject the Round Neck Now
Called For.

1t is a question whether the round
neck will be accepted. 1t is the
fashionable line for house gowns. The
usual net or chiffon guimpe that is
now put in everything ends in a cir
Gle below the collar-bone. It is
change from the " and the square,
the q and the wedge, but is it
pretty?
There are artist designers who will
not accept it. They persuade a custom
er out of it. They do not consider 1t
artistic nor desirable They think it
hardens the line of the neck, and is
not becoming to the face. They
think the Wis the most becoming of
all, whether for a simple dinner gown
or an elaborate ball gown
1t looks as though each woman will
be her own judge. The French models
show the round neck. Those who are
stylish will follow this line, but those
who are individual will do what is
most becoming.
