Power Of Lyddite.

Lyddite is very stable compound.
1t can be hammered or burned in the
open without danger, and 1t requires a
illuminate or more powerful explosive
to set it off Lead picrate Is the usual
agent employed. But here is an odd
point about lyddite-it must not be left
In contact with iron or steel. If this is
done the picric acid combines with iron
rust to form very dangerous com
pound. Consequently all shells used to
contain lyddite are first carefully tin
ned on the inside. Lyddite is six times
more powerful in its action than nitro
glycerin, and nitroglycerin in its turn is
eight times more powerful than the
same weight Of the old fashioned black
gunpowder-London Answers.

FARM BOYS IN BASEBALL.
Managers Think They outclass the
City Bred Youngsters.

1.-THE other day inquired Of major
league manager what class of young
men he wanted for his team" writes
Hugh S. Fullerton in Farm and Fire
side.
"'Give me the farmer he replied in
stantly. The chances for his falling
victim to the temptations of baseball
are fewer. He may not be as well
posted as to city ways, but in one sea-
son you cannot tell the difference.
They come larger stronger, live clean
er and think more clearly than city
boys do. Besides, the majority of them
have the right idea in view. They
want to get money to buy farm.
Twenty, yes, ten years ago the ma
jor league baseball teams We're recruit
ed almost entirely from the larger
cities. Cincinnati led in production for
years, then Boston, then st. Louis.
A dozen years ago 80 per cent of the
major league players hailed from New
England and from the Atlantic states.
Now more than 60 per cent of all
major league players come from farms
or from small villages, and the farms
produce greater number of good
players than come from any other
place.
'Rube Waddell, Rube Marquard,
Rube Ellis, Rube Benton-a score of
rubes have shows in major league
baseball, and their nickname once was
one Of ridicule. Not now. Managers
Of major league baseball teams are
looking for rubes, and when they say
Rube they mean, not the uncouth or
the awkward recruit, but the clean
cut, clean living boy from the farm"

TOWER OF BABEL.
It's Remnants Are Believed to Stand
Near Babylon's Ruins.

1t is doubtful if there is any place
in the world so rich in ancient remains
as the valley of the Euphrates, In
Mesopotamia. The result Is that to
archaeologists and scholars the place
is a veritable Tom Tiddler's ground"
and new finds" are constantly being
reported
When 1t Is remembered that tradi-
ton places the site of the Garden Of
Eden here, while among its many
ruins are those of ancient Babylon, the
promising nature of the valley to the
scientific excavator becomes apparent.
1t is near the ruins of Babylon that
we find what many scholars believe to
be the remains Of the tower of Babel
an immense cube of brickwork, called
by the natives Birs Nimrud
Recent exhaustive examination of
the strange pile ana its site has reveal
ed the fact that the tower that once
stood here consisted of seven stages of
brickwork on an earthen platform. each
being of different color
The tower boas,ed of base meas
urement of nearly 600 square feet and
rose to in unknown height Even u
day the ruins rise some 100 feet above
the level of the surrounding plain.

MEANING OF "JITNEY."
There Are Many Theories as to the

The meaning of the word jitney is a

explanations are given. One interested

information: a correspondent from

term as slang in Glasgow. Scotland.
over fifty years ago. 1t was used to
designate something small or insignit

the Scottish ''jitty," which means de
ception, and the French "nisey," cor

Another correspondent said it is a

A correspondent from Tacoma,

coin.

PITY the Poor Juror!

There are lot of more simplified
| Jobs than that of being juror in the
Thaw case, trial No. 999. Forexam-
pie, on Monday DIR. Austin Flint, aged,
stopped and a trifie deaf, testified as
chief alienist for the state in support
of the commemorative contention
that Harry Thaw is insane. The
doctor stated that he considered
Thaw to be suffering from form of
insanity known as paranoia; in other
words, constitutional inferiority," and
that this disease is incurable. He
admitted, however, that Thaw had
given no evidence of paranoia while
on the with. SIS stand, and asserted
that there was no way by which
layman could determine whether
Thaw had that disease, or was in
sane, save by the opinions of experts
on one side or the other and then it
would depend upon which set of ex-
perts the jury believed Evidently
not on which set of experts told the
truth! a
These qualifications by DR.. Flint
were interpreted by folks in court as
being decidedly favorable to Thaw,
and they do have that appearance.
But unfortunately while he was on
the witness stand last Friday Thaw
testified to this effect:
l have no i'll feeling against DR..
Flint, though | reckon | should
have. DR.. Flint has no moral
sense. He is as apt to swear to
the false as the true. You can
draw any sort of opinions from
him as easily as bartender
draws beer from a spigot.
Now if the jury accepts Thaw's
measure of DR.. Flint in appraising
the latter's testimony, where will it
land? Or if it accepts DR.. Flint's
declaration that Thaw "has given in
dications of nothing on the witness
stand that would be evidence to a lay
man that he was not sane" where
does it leave DR.. Flint? The more
jurymen wrestle with the judgments
of these two men in respect to each
other, after nine-year contest in
which supposedly impaired reasoning
powers have kept supposed superior
guessing the more puzzling
the maze in which they are likely to
find themselves. With them it is

ordeal at ines.
1t would be great mistake to
imagine that there are no countries

have to wait and be wooed.
Is the Torres Straits islands, for In
stance, It is the height of bad form for
young man to make the first ad

If all goes well she urges him to name

Among some of the rude tribes of
India the woman's courtslhp is a less

what the rice beer means, and If they
do not want the marriage to come
