Gun Power at Waterloo.

AS to gun power at the time OF Wa
terloo, two facts of guidance: The
British drill sergeants of the day
taught recruits to hold their fire until
they could see the whites Of the eyes
of the enemy" That would make the
best musketry range, / should say,
about twenty-five yards. Brown Bess"
was not of much use beyond sixty
yards, judging by all the evidence. AS
to big pieces, then. as now, naval guns
were superior to field artillery, and
Nelson loved to get in his broadsides
at sixty yards! l believe that 600
yards was counted the limit of efec-
tive naval gun fire then. Field artii-
lery range would be less, probably
much less. The enormous Increase In
the effective range of guns since Is
due, first, to explosives with greater
power and more controllable power
second. the invention Of rided barrels
and breechloading. and, third, stronger
alloys Of metals.-Frank Fox in Lon

Force of Drops of Water.

1t seems almost incredible that so
small thing as a drop of rain should
iujure the propeller Of an aerOpiane
but such is the case. At so great
speed does the propeller revolve-1, ,20G
revolutions a minute as matter of
fact-that rain drop hits it with such
enormous force as to chip piece of
the wood away. Some idea of the
hardships ent0iied by flying through
the rain at sixty miles an hour may
be gathered from the fact that an avia-
tor who recently went through such an
experience. alighted with the edge of
his propeller fretted as though it had
been gnawed by rats. The rain drops
had clipped pieces out of the blades
and also bruised the aviators face.

EXPLODING EXPLOSIVES.
One of Two Methods, Combustion or
Oetonation, Is Used.


Oetonation, Is Used.
An explosive is body which. under
the influence of heat or shock. or both

resolved entirely or almost so into
gases.
Practical explosives consist either Of
bodies such as nitrogIycerin and nitro
cellulose. which are explosive In them
selves or mixtures of ingredients
which separately are or may be non.
explosive, but when intimately mixed
are capable of being exploded.
Explosives are exploded either by
simple ignition. as in the case Of black
gunpowder. or by means of a detonator
containing mercury illuminate.
The molecules of an explosive may
be regarded as in state of unstable
chemical equilibrium. A stable state of
equilibrium is brought about by the
sudden decomposition OF the original
compounds with the evolution of heat
An explosion is thus an extremely rapid
decomposition. accompanied by the pro
duction of large volume Of gas and
the development Of much heat.
There are two well defined modes of
explosion which can be described as
combustion and detonation. In the
former case the explosive Is simply ig
nited. and combustion takes place by
ransference of heat from layer to layer
Of the explosive. The rapldity with
which the combustion proceeds de
pends not only on the physical form of
the explosive. but also on the pressure
under which the decomposition takes
place. When In the form Of fine grains

Women and the Old Olympic Games.
One rule of the original Olympic
games could not be followed nowadays
without provoking serious troubles.
Women were not allowed to be present
OK even to be anywhere In the district
when the games were being celebrated
ON pain of being hurled from precipi-
eOus rock. This rule Is believed to
have been defied only once, when the
offender was pardoned In consideration
OF the fact that her father, brothers
and son had been victors in the games.

not only exempt from this law, but
was accommodated with special front

The Man and Battle That Saved Eu-
rope From the Saracen Yoke.
A traveller approaching the city OF
Poitiers. France. would hardly believe
that it was around the site Of that
small city that the battle which saved
all Europe from the Saracen yoke was
fought. The man who commanded the
French in that great battle was
Charles. who afterward received the
surname Martel. "the hammer" from,
his mighty prowess in that fight.
He baffled the Saracen invasion by
his great victory at Poitiers. The Sar
acens had mastered all Asia and con-
quered Spain. Nothing could with
stand their arms, and the Crescent
bore death and desolati0n before 1t
wherever it went. The Mohammedans
determined to conquer all Europe in
the name of the Prophet. Spain had
fallen, and France was next. The two
armies met at Poitiers. The strife was
bloody, for the Saracens had the pre.s
tige of former victories and the Gd-
vantage of numbers; France had the
wisdom of Martel. That wisdom tri
umphed, and the M0hammedan was
hurled back. broken power. Tins
victory saved Europe from want and
desolatiOn. for the brave people would
have suffered anything sooner than
embrace MOhammedaniSm. The great
champion Of Christian civilization lived

a quantity of small fishes fell out oE

The fishes had evidently mistaken

On the purely military side of tho
war he said that although only trench

 With Metzeral in their possession, the French armies operating on both banks of the River Feeht, in AIsace, forged ahead with Munster as their next objective German ammunition depots were blown up by French gun ners.
 Driven back with tremendous losses at nearly all positions in Galieia by the Russians. and from Flanders to Alsace by the western Allies, the Aus trian and German armies suffered se- we're reyerses.
 The Italian armies of invasion steadily progressed. The hardest fighting was on the Isonzo River, where the heights of Playa were won and held.

ODD FACTS ABOUT CHOLERA
Superstition Has Added to Ravsses of Dread Disease-How Rocks
 Were Affected

Cholera has usually found a use ful ally i'll superstition In the old days the disease was believed to lie bottled up in volcanoes and to be released by eruptions. The most effectual way to avoid it was to sleep in bed with your head due south. In Russia during the terrible epidemies six years ago the peasants would not trust the doctors. whom they actually accused of caus- ing the disease. but drank a fearful mixture of tar, resin and petroleum as preventiyes, and fired guns from the doors and windows to scare the chol- era away What spreads the disease along the caravan routes of Asia is the habit of washing dirty clothes in the drinking wells
 Rocks were the birds whose conduct in connection with the cholera was ob- served in Ireland in 1882 According to the contemporary Dublin Morning Register, immediately the cholera came all the birds vanished from the ro6kery in the Marquis of Shgo's de- mesne, one of the largest In Ireland. For three weeks, during which the disease ragged violently, these noisy tenants ot the trees completely desert ed their lofty habitations. In the mean time the revenue police found immense numbers of them lying dead upon the shore near Erris about ten miles dis tant. Upon the decline of the malady, within the last few days, several of the old birds have again appeared in the neighborhood of the rookery, but some of them seemed unable, through exhaustion, to reach their nests
