riding in carts. Clothing and the few

more than two weeks this terrible
strain kept up. At one town we stop

A dispatch to the London Daily News
from an unnamed point in France de-
scribes a visit of the Prince of Wales
to the firing line.

How Dynamite ExpI odes

A great many persons entertain the
notion that, i'll exploding, dynamite seeks
''the line Of greatest resistance" They
know that if a quantity Of black powder
be placed upon a rock and lighted by a
fuse, it will simply flash. scorching the
stone; and that if a bit Of dynamite be
exploded on the same rock, the rock will
be shattered. Hence the conclusion
quite erroneous, has been reached that
dynamite follows the line of greatest re-
sistance. Nothing could be father from
the truth than this. The Black powder
ignites aud explodes much less rapidly
than does dynamite, with the result that
the force OF the powder is soon dissipated
in the al atmosphere surrounding it. In the
case Of dynamite, however, the explosion
is SO sudden, "the attack upon the air.
so instantaneous, that, for a fraction OF a
second, the air actually resists. The
force of the dynamite is go tremendous
that it is turned into the rock, which,
for the instant, becomes the line of least
| resistance.
An illustration of all this may be seen
in lightning discharges. A fork of light.
ming streaks across the sky. 1t packs the
air SO densely that it can no longer make
rapid progress in that direction; so il
turns aside to follow the line of least re.
sistance, 1t "cannot wait for the air.
to yield. The same is true in the case o.
dynamite.-Popular Electricity.

Fire At Powder Mill

Last Monday afternoon the powder in
one Of the houses where ~smokeless pow
der is pressed into small circular sticks
caught fire and the contents burned with
small damage to the machinery. Few
besides those at the Powder Works knew
of the accident which injured no one, be-
cause smokeless powder does not jar the
earth like black powder and dynamite,
but goes up with a puff and a blaze unless
closed confined.
On Wednesday morning of last week,
two tons oil black powder exploded at the
dupont works back of Wilmington the
earth was Jared Tor a radius OF fifteen
miles. The Powder Mills ON the Brandy

the east side of the Delaware river and

sidering. the conditions of the roads
which was unfayorable for distant
Churches to be represented. Auburn was
the only one represented.
The meeting was helpful and inspira-
tlonal all the way thru. Each officer
presented his or her department. work
very ably and gave very helpful sugges-
lions as to how the individual chapters
can improve their work.
They urged a survey OF the community
to lind out just who should be in the
League and then go out after them;
provide recreation, amusement, enter
tainment, i'll order to attract and hold
the young folks. By getting them into
the League they will eventually come
the church. 1t the object of the Ep-
worth Leagne to help build up the
church and win souls for Christ.
Among the many things suggested to
make the League more active the follow
ing, perhaps. are the most leasable in the
majority of communities:
Change the time OF meeting, if need be,
III order to get the young folks to come.
Make the devotional meeting interesting
and spiritual, so as to draw some one
nearer to Christ and the Church. Hold
entertainments, ~socials, form reading
circles, and debating clubs to interest and
hold the young.
Do not forget the poor and needy. 1t
is chiefly a work OF mercy and helpful
ness. Let us do all we can to help those
i'll need in our communities and also
those elsewhere.
Those present pledged themselves to
work harder in the future than they
have in the past for the upbuilding of
Gods Kingdom by getting outsiders into

ence OF this meeting nay be felt and
seen in increased membership and better
