Ffiuhty Explosive.

1t may sound like a joke, but it is
nevertheless TIE truth that the tread
CT 4 housefly is sufficient to explode
Nitrogen iodide It is not necessary
that a fly should walk over the com
pound. 1t has only to let one foot
come into contact with the explosive,
when the jolt causes it to explode and
to blow the insect into the air. An
other manner in which the peculiar
property OF this explosive can be dem
onstrated is by scattering a small
quantity of the dry powder over a
sheet of clean paper. 1t then resem-
hles pepper and only needs a few
sharp breaths of the manipulator-just
sufficient to make them roll-to cause
each speck to ignite and explode,
meantime giving off a long, thin col
unn of dense purple smoke. If a bar
relful of nitrogen iodide could be made
it would have 20 be kept moist TO pre-

KLEIN Entertains the
Fans at Polo Grounds

New York, oct. 2.-Wuliam Klein,
who tries to make an honest living
umpiring ball games, entertained a
small and select few at the Polo
grounds yesterday by doing some
housekeeping on the Giant bunch. In
the seventh inning some of the Giant
substitutes playfully called William
names. Some one of the young ora
tors remarked that William had eyes
like n fish, which isn't true. William
hasn't eyes like fish. He has nice
eyes.
Just for that William. stopped the
pastime and made a clean sweep of
the Giants bench. When the rockies
and others who weren't working mob
ilized. they lined up and walked across
the Polo grounds doing the iOckstep.

Reforming the Boarders.

The boarding house had changed
hands. and the regular boarders were
changing some of their habits TO suit
the aggressive new landlady. The
sword had fallen rather promiscuously
during this pruning of bad habits. but
they were all amused when it struck
the naughty young professor. Sitting
with his head bowed gracefully on his
shapsly hand, it was his custom to
pay no attention to the things that
were passed around the breakfast
table.
The landlady brought in a plate of
hot biscuits and held them in front of
him. He did not look up. She logged
his elbow, and, looking up, he said
lcftily, Il do not care to be disturbed
when medi;ating."
The regular boarders stopped eat
ing. awaiting her reply. She stared at
him for a second, then said decidedly:

Berlin-A member of the German
parliament, who for nearly ten years
has been connected with the army
budget committee of the Reichstag
tells some interesting things of the
history of the now famous 42-centi-
meter siege guns which served the
Germans so effectively at Liege and
Namur.
1.-The surprise that Germany pos
sessed such mortars,'' he says, in an
article published in the Neue Zuercher
Zeitung, was as great in Germany as
it was in other countries. After COM
pletion of secret tests with these guns
some time ago, and the decision of the
government to order number of them,
it was problem as to how to keep the
matter secret.
"Over forty officers took part in the
discussion at which the military bud
get was prepared for submittal to the,
budget committee of the Reichstag.
When a new clause was reached with
only the heading Arms the chief of
the new department of arms requested
that for the time being this subject
could not be discussed. At the con-
clusion of the conference he told me in
strict confidence that the title Arms"
involved new siege mortars.
The general staff requested urgent
ly that not word be said of the mat
ter in the committee; not even the
officers present had any knowledge of
it.
six weeks ago 1 visited an ammu-
milton factory as a member of the arm
ament commission and ascertained
that any number of projectiles and
cases for these mortars could be pro-
duced within very short time. In
reply to my question whether these
mortars did not wear out rapidly, a di-
rector of the company said There are
not enough fortresses in existence in
the whole world to wear out a single
mortar AS a matter of fact our
army possesses 5000 mortars of an
earlier date, which are still usable.'
The Official North German Ga cite |
also discusses these new mortars with |
special reference to their projectiles. |
1t says:
IF a weapon of the German army !
has claim to popularity it is the AZ |
centimetre mortars which in spite of
their huge dimensions have managed |
70 remain concealed. In fact, the nick |
name Drummer which has been Civ |
en- to these mortars shows how far |
this popularity has progressed. One !
cannot be astonished that a shot
which hurls with accuracy a weight of
eight hundred weight over a space of
a German mile to its goal causes an at
mospheric pressure which for miles |
around hurls everything into the air. |!
Reports have shown that the projec- /
tile, after it has left the mortar causes I!
a great noise only by cutting through !

Leeds.-Lord Charles Beresford IL
addressing a recent mass meeting for
the purpose O. stimulating recruiting
here said: "The Kiel canal must be
handed over to Denmark, so it will be
useful fer the peaceful pursuits of the
world"
The remark has caused widespread
comment, and has become a part of
the discussion of the probable results
OF the war if the allies should win.
When the Kiel canal was opened in
1895 the emperor of Germany, with
representatives of the leading Euro
pean powers as his guests, said: Ger
many will range the work inaugurated
today on the side of those ACCOMPLISH
ed in the service of peace" 1t was
regarded as significant that upo1 the
enlargement of the canal last June. the
occasion was not one Of international
celebration. although Emperor Viii
liam attended and led a great fleet of
German warships through the canal
Which now figures so extensively in
the naval operations as a magnificent
refuge for the German fleet
German strategists insist that the
Kiel canal doubles the power of the
German fleet, as it gives another en-,
trance from the North sea to tle Baltic
and forces an enemy to scatter its
strength in order to bottle up the Ger
man warships. Eight enormous sid
ings have been provided within the
enlarged canal in which ships may
pass. These are so great they are
said to be capable of sheltering all the
ships of the Germany navy.
English strategists assert thai the
value of tle canal has been discounted
considerably by the developments OF
the present war, and declare that it
has, if anything, rendered the German
fleet more immobile than it might
otherwise have been.
1t was Lord Beresford's contention
that Denmark would never be safe so
long as Germany held this important
waterway across the Danish PENN
sula. and he hoped TO see the day when
il. together with Sclleswig-HolsteI
would be restored to Denmark
Enumerating other obligations
which he said would fall upon the
WAR SIDELIGHTS-TINI
allies if they defeated Germany, nc
said the first duty would be 10 Bel
GUM, which would have to be amply
rewarded for the wrongs it had suf-
fered. He said he would then have
''the great Krupps plant destroyed and
all German forts RACED"
