NEW AND DEADLY EXPLOSIVE
Modern Weapon Used in War Is of Far Greater Force Than Was
 Guncotton.

It IS obvious that tho submarine mine has become much more formi- dable than it was ten years ago. During the Russo-Japanese war a humber of vessels on either side were sunk or disabled by mines, but in one instance only-that of the battle ship Petropavlovsk-did the strickcr. ship go down immediately.
 The mines used by the Russians and Japanese were filled, as a rule, With wet guncotton. This is, of course, a very potent explosive, but In many respects, says Tit-Bits, it is quite outclassed by the compound used in German mines and known as trlnltrotoluene, but abbreviated to "T. N. T." in this country and to 'trotyl2 in Germany.
 ''T. N. T." is an explosive of comparatively recent invention. It IS emlnently safe to handle, and can- not be exploded by flame, but re- quires to be detonated by means of mercury illuminate.
 A shell, torpedo or mine loaded with 'ST. N. T." bursts with great violence into large fragments.

An a tllInt;e Heart.

The use Of tlc tenn athletic heart" has led to more misun lerStanGing than probably any other On2 eXpres- sion. Laymen or parents, provided they are not of the medical profession, get a picture from this expression which is anything but correct. If they were told that their Eoy's thigh had increas- ed half an inch in girth under the eX- ercise that he had been doing in the gymnasium they would be pleased, but when they are told that the size of his heart is increased they are at once very much alarmed. Active participa- tion in almost any sport which causes the heart to beat more rapidly will produce an increase of size of that muscle as in any other muscle, and d certain amount of this is unquestiona- ply natures normal and proper way of taking care of her economy. Some people, it is true, believe that any en- largement is abnormal but Dr. Mey- Ian and most of the physicians who have followed the athlete closely would not agree with th.s.-Outing.

Turtle and Earina.

Turtle and farina taken together rep resent to those who live on the Anna zon, be they white, negro or Indian or one of the numerous crossbreeds, what the salmon does to the Alaska Indian, the cocoanut to the south sea islander and rice to the Mongolian. A short run of salmon in the Alaska rivers. a crop failure in the paddy fields of China, hurricane in the south sea islands, all reduce to the same thing famine. On the Amazon a shortage of turtles may be tided over by a pleni' tude of farina, or vice versa. A failure of both turtles and farina in the same year brings great and widespread dis tress. Farina is crude, locally made product of the root of the manioc, a further refinement of which results in the tapioca of commerce. Farina un- der a number of different names is more or less of staple with the na- lives in all of tropical America from the West Indies to Paraguay.

CoIors and Heat.

Tn an attempt to illustrate graphi- cally the relative values for summer and winter wear of different colors in dress materials an interesting expert ment was recently conducted, says Popular Mechanics. Four strips of cloth made of the same material and weight but of different .colors. were placed on a cake of ice and exposed to the sun. The fabrics were white, vel low, red and black. The result show ed in a striking way how white re- fleets the suns rays, while black ab- sorbs them.
 The ice covered by the piece of white cloth was not melted to any ap- preciable degree during the test, that under the yellow strip was slightly de pressed, a deep cut was formed be- meath the red cloth and a groove ap- proximately twice as deep as that GOV cred by the latter was melted under the black fabric.

Perhaps the origin of our slang tern ''pinched," meaning arrested, is in De foes poem Hymn to the Pillory." I'm mured in 1703 in Newgate, Defoe con soled himself with the reflection that having meant well, he suffered unjust ly. This is the passage: The first intent of laws Was to correct the effect and check tn,
