Disaster of a Century Ago.

Several lives were lost and much
property destroyed by an explosion OF
gunpowder which occurred at Wool
wich 100 years ago. Woolwich is the
most ancient military and naval ar
senal in England. In its dockyard men
of-war were built as long ago as the
beginning of the sixteenth century.
The royal arsenal contains factory
for the making Of shells and car
tridges and a mammoth foundry for
casting armor and ordnance, in addi-
tion to vast magazines Of great guns,
powder and other warlike stores. The
Royal Military academy, where Off
GERS are trained for the British army,
also is a part of the institution. Dur
ing the centuries of its existence the
arsenal has been the scene of many
disastrous fires and fatal explosions.
One of the most recent OF the explo-
sions occurred in 1903 and resulted in
the death or serious injury Of more
than thirty persons.
