Food for Cannon.

Unless you are familiar with its ap-
pearance you probably would not recog-
nize on sight the explosive used in mod
ern great guns. Certainly it is not pow
der" in the usual sense of the word. A
single grain of the powder used IN the
16-inch rifles at Panama is as big around
as a broomstick and several inches long,
The size of the grain Of powder varies
with the size of the gun for whicn it is
intended. Different nations mako their
big gun explosives in different shapes.
The British make it in sticks the size of
lead pencils and tie 1t in bundles that fit
into the breach Of the gun. The French
fashion 1t in fiat strips like chewing
gum, while German explosives are also
in strips. though smaller and longer.
The large grains Of powder are perforat-
ed lengthwise. This is so that It will
take fire more evenly and burn from the
center outward. The powder does not
expend all its force instantly, but the
size Of the grain and the perforation are
arranged 30 that the force is greatest
just as the pro1ectile leaves the mouth
Of the cannon.-The American Boy.

When the British were endeavorine to
subdue the Maoris they were long the
victims of ruse that enabled the ma
tives to replenish their stock of bullets
at the expense of their enemies. The
Maoris would build a dummy and expose
it from behind tree near the British
lines. Immediately the British would
blaze away at it. Behind the dummy the
Maoris would have constructed an earth
bank and from this they would later dig
their supply of bullets to send back to
the British.-The American Boy.
