Pepys' View Of Batha

Pepys view OF baths-probably rep
resentatfye Of his generation-may be
gathered from a contemptuous refer
ence to his wife's whimsical notion,
after spring cleaning, Of going to a hot
bath In town to ''cleane herself" How
ever, he reflected cOnsolingly, the new
passion for cleanliness was not likely
to last The idea Of Pepys' French con-
temporaries on the same subject Is
illustrated in a little book on Christian
conduct, by Jean Baptiste de La Sale.
For the sake Of cleanliness" says the
author, cit is well to rub the face every
morning with a white towel, In order
to remove the dirt 1t Is not advisable
to wash with water, for this exposes
the fnce to the chflls Of winter and the
heats Of summer"

SmoksIess Powder.

Ordinary powder produces smoke
when fred because OF the quantity Of
fine particles formed from the break
ing up Of the saltpeter and from some
Of the charcoal which is not completely
burned To get rid Of smoke, so long
handicap In the use of guns, 1t was
necessary to produce a substance that
would explode without leaving any
solid residue. This was accomplished
by the use Of guncotton or nitrocellu-
lose, from which the most satisfactory
smokeless powder Is made. The sub
stance Is q chemical compound, not a
mixture like gunpowder, and is made
by treating cotton with a mixture Of
nitric and sulphuric acids. When ex-
ploded It IL all converted into gases.
Burning Is not necessary to cause an
explosion, a mere shock or jar being
sufficient It is too violent an explosive
to use In small arms or In cannon, but
guncotton can be made into less force
full forms, suitable for use In guns, and
most brands Of smokeless powder are
made In this way.-Boston Herald

But there Is stu another internal

most powerful factor Of naval warfare

and that Is the torpedo. We are hear

Of course, just as deadly as those fired

Firing a torpedo is simple. If fired
from a submarine the eye Of the sub
marine, the periscope, reveals the 10
cation Of the enemy. The torpedo, al
ready In its tube, awaits the touch Of
a finger-nothing more. The tube has
a spoon shaped mouth, well creased
within so that the torpedo may shoot
out easily and take the water in a
horizontal position.
Meanwhile, before it has been showed
