THE WIDE, WIDE WEST

A New York man was making {
Western trip, not because he wanted
to, but from a sense of duty to see
the greatness of the land he inhab.
tied, and he was bored plumb full Of
holes through every one of which he
could catch glimpses of his beloved
Broadway in imagination.
He had gone to California, thence
to Seattle, thence to Spokane, and
was moving eastward like snail, he
thought. Going out Of Helena breezy
Montana man got into conversation
with him.
"You are stranger in these parts,
| take it," said the Westerner after
a few preliminary dashes.
"Yes," replied the traveller, not
wishing to be any more impolite than
the law allowed-at least, the law of
that region.

before ?"

stretched his neck up through his
dusty collar.

actly what it is. 1t is all distance; dis

COTTON-NOT GUNPOWDER

The lady who asked at the country
store for powder" was met with the
polite query, "Face, gun or flea 2" The
first and third varieties are still what
they were of yore, but gunpowder is
really powder no longer, except when
it is used for the manufacture Of fire
works. That used for the modern
high-power artillery is in the form Of
cylinders, sticks, or blocks, some Of
them Of considerable size.
A single grain of the powder, for
instance, for the great l6-in. gun 10
be set up at Panama is as big round
as broom stick and three inches
long. Germans make their powder in
strips that look like tape. They cut
it off in lengths and tie it up in
bundles which fit into the breeches Of
ther big guns. The British powder is
made in long sticks which look like

The bigger the gun the bigger tn
grain of powder. For the rifles tn
men carry the grains are half as BIZ
as a pin head; for the largest gum
they are three inches long and thre,
quarters Of an inch thick. Every grair
is perforated lengthwise. Small grains
have a single hole, while the larger
sizes have seven.
These holes regulate in wonderful
way the rapidity with which the pow
der will burn. II you light scrap OF

however, you make hole in the GEN.
ter of the paper and start the con-
fiagration there the flame will steadily
grow, and the most rapid burning will
take place just before the fire has
reached the outer edge. This is the
exact principle which governs the ar
rangement Of the perforations in big
gun powder. The burning starts
along the surface exposed by the per-
forations, and spreads always faster
as the hole is enlarged, burning fast
est at the instant it is consumed.
1t is not intended that the charge in
big guns shall exhaust its force in
stantly, says Mr.. William Atherton
Dupuy, writing on Powder for the
Worlds Guns" The beginning of the
explosion starts the projectile on its
way. The explosion continues and as
the projcctile gains speed the force be-
hind it continues to push. The powder
is burning faster and pushing hardest
the instant the projectile reaches
the mouth Of the gun. At that instant
also it burns out and exhausts itself.
Its work is done.
1t is wonderful to reflect that gun
powder is almost pure cotton. 1t re-
quires but little juggling-scientific

crop of the cotton field into

started for Derby in Fogg's auto.

Mr.. and Mrs. Myron Ham with colt
The colt was frightened at the auto
and backed over steep bank. All
