LYDDITE

YDDITE, the powder that has enor-
- nous explosive force and can be fired
from gun easily carried about, does not, as
has been widely supposed, take its name
from man, but from an ancient town near
the coast of Kent, England, the town of
Lydd, where there is a government artillery
range, where the tests were made that
resulted in the preparation of this explosive.
Lyddite has extraordinary qualities aside
from its explosive force, since its fumes are
so suffocating as sometimes to be intolerable.
Lydd shares the notoriety that attaches
to the name of Dumdum, that other peace
full city in Bengal, where are manufactured
the expanding bullets that attract SO much
unfavorable comment in war.

QUATRAINS

An eminent American poet assures us
that
In the quatrain's measure, written well.
\ thousand lines shall all be sung in four
and a somewhat extensive reading seems to
confirm this view Consider, for instance,
the sweet singer of Michigan whose
verse Eugene Field was wont to read to
rapt circle of the elect. Surely thousand
lines could not have done more to dlsarm
hostile criticism than the four in which she
pleads:
And now, kind friends, what have wrote
| hope you will pass Ger,
And not criticize some have done.
Hitherto heretofore.
Nor is it easy to see how a more melo-
dramatic atmosphere could be created than
in this Lyric by a Country Editor
There's blood on the bobsled,
And hair on the ground;
The dog on his launches
Sits drooling around
Modest and unassuming as is this liter
ary FORM it serves a wide variety of uses.
Could a more perfect thumbnal character
sketch be given than:
NV names Unc Ephr'm m Punkinblossom.
Is fond OF sweet p 'tater n possum.
does whitewashin when Is able,
An Wnah sets Is Qe neaQ Cd Qe IdDc
Or has anyone of the new school of nat
uralsts made a more illuminating observa-
ton than?-
The lightning bug is brilliant,
But he hasn't any mind;
He blunders through existence.
With his headlight on behind.
The counsel so often given to the clergy
to make it short has probably never been
better practised than in some of these four
line preachments:
A thoughtful man will never set
His tongue a going and forget
To stop it when his brain has quit
A thinking thoughts to offer it
1t isn't what we do or say,
Its all in the way we do or say 1t;
What would the egg amount to, pray,
If the hen got up on the roost to lay it?
If YOU find that swearing off
Has failed to help Bit
Stop swearing off. and for change
Just quit.
Or take these hygienic warnings:
Full many a mortal young and old
Has gone to his sarCophagus.
Through pouring water icy cold
Adown his warm esophagus.
She would not kill the early fly;
The bare idea shocked her.
So others followed by and by
And later came the doctor.
Not all quatrains, however, are so clear
Of meaning. Some bring questioning
thoughtfulness:
How very sad it is to think
Our poor benighted brother
Should have his head upon one end
His feet upon the otherl
Or this vignette OF loves young dream:
She sat on the steps in the evening tide
Enjoying the balmy air;
He came and asked - May sit by your side'"
And she gave him vacant stair.
Nor has this form of verse entirely escaped
the brooding spirit of our modern Welt
schmey5; as witness the plant of the safety
razor user:
And this is the song spin
While giving the blade shove,
Why can't be bald on my chin,
And have whskers that grow above?'
Or the settled gloom of writer on the
PhiiStine:
| often wonder why it is

And though he did it jokingly really couldn't

Because YOU see, the calf he bit was one that's

Oh. poor Mary! Oh. poor Jane!
And NIelanchoia:

My star is gone from yonder sky.

That it just went and gone and burst
One odd form of quatrain is that in
which the last line, if spoken with sufficient
rapiditv, becomes a mere gable of sylla-
bles; mannerism probably borrowed from
the limerick. Let two competing examples
suffice:
The cassowary is a bird
That's hard to capture, very;
Folks hunting for her plumeS have made
The cassowary wary.
But once a cassowary strolled
Too near an alligator
And with one wrlggle snap. and gulp
The alligator ate her.
There have been quatrain competitions,
as there have been limerick competitions,
and such have brought to the light gems
like the following:
Some people make a practice
OF sitting on cactus:
There's nothing in fad like that
That ever would attract us.

IT, of the many who have boiled down
their poems to four lines, one name was to
be chosen, it would doubtless be that of
Gelett Burgess, who accidentally achieved
fame with his Purple Cow" and repudiated
it in the declaration:
Oh yes. wrote The Purple Cow,
own up that l wrote it;
But will tell you anyhow,
I'll kill you if you quote it.
Two of his most striking and ckaracteris-
tic products are:
My feet they haul me Round the House,
They Hoist me up the Stairs;
| only have to Steer them
And they Ride me Everywheres.
And:
The window has four little panes,
But one have l;
The window panes are in its sash
l wonder why?
But of all uses of poetry the chief is
doubtless to give us a more serene and
genial outlook on life, and what could be
more melting to cheerfulness than the re-
minder that?-
We can't all smoke ten-cent cigars.
Or drive a limousine;
But we can all collect the bands
And smell the gasolene.
Or the example of Ruth McEnery Stuart's
Daddy Do-Funny':
One asks for sun. an one for rain,
An sometimes bofe together;
| prays for sunshine in my heart
An den forgits de weather
But if either of these fails, there remains
