$50 600. A little later the same man
gave $50 900 for endowment and main
tenanee OF the school.
The increasing demands OF modern
oduca ton have made the endowment
Inadequate to the work required.
Again friends Of the school have CON

900 to meet needs otherwise unpro-
yided for. Meanwhile the school mas

Gunpowder.

The explosion of gunpowder is divided
into three distinct stages, called the ignl-
ton, Inflammation and combustion. The
ignition is the setting on fire of the first
grain, while the Inflammation is the
spreading of the flame over the surface
of the powder from the point of ignition.
Combustion is the burning UP of each
grain. The value of gunpowder is due to
the fact that when subjected to sufficient
heat it becomes a gas which expands
with frightfui rapidity. The 80 called
explosion that takes place when a match
is touched to gunpowder is merely y
chemical change. during which there is
a sudden evolution OF gases from the
original solid. It has been calculated that
ordinary gunpowder on exploding eN-
pands about 1000 times or ILLS u space
this much larger as a gas than when
in a solid form.-The Argus.
