Powerful Explosive.


The liquid oxygen explosive appears,
from notices in the German technical
press, to have been developed as a min
ing substitute for nitric explosives.
which had been all taken for military
purposes. 1t was discovered Il score
of years ago that when a carbonaceous
material is saturated with liquid oXy-
gen and ignited by a fuse or electrici-
tN, the carbon and oxygen combine
violently, and successful trials were
made in blasting. This explosive,
called 'oxyliquit," is now doing duty
quite extensively in breaking up coal
and potash. In seeking d combus:ible,
experiments were made with a mixture
of gasoline and %infusOrial earth, pull
verified cork, dry wood pulp and dried
peat, hut the best results were OBJ
tanned with lampblack. This is placed
in a suitable cartridge. In the pre-
ferred method the filed cartridge Is
immersed for half an hour in liquid
oxygen in a special container, and
then, with an ignition system quickly
attached, is placed in the borehole,
tamped and exploded. The effects are
nearly equal to those from the same
weight Of dynamite. The serious dis.
advantage Of the method is the neces-
sity Of liquefying the oxygen at the
place where used; but a very great adj
vantage is safety In transportation,
and especially complete lack of danger
from unexploded cartridges. The oxA
ygen evaporates in about ten minutes,
leaving simply inert lampblack.

Briefs About Birds.

Birds migrating at night average
longer flights than the day migrants.
The nighthawk performs the longest
migration Journey Of any land bird.
Its trip is 1000 miles, from the Yukon
to Argentina.
The files Of the United States de-
partment of agriculture contain more
than 100000 cards concerning the
distribution and migration of North
American birds.
The arctic tern holds all records for
length Of migration. When the young
are fu%ll-grown the entire family leaves

HOW The PRESS VIEWS
The SENATORIAL RACE.

matter is always worth consider
ing. The following editorials
from several Of our exchanges
are well worth you time to read.
The Sentorial race will look diff
erent to you after reading them.
The Courier does not presume
to dictate to the people of Smith
county as TO how they should
vote in the coming senatorial
primary, and this article is not
meant as an intention to unduly
influence anyone, if that were
possible. However, we feel that
a fair discussion of the claims of
the aspirants for this high Office
is not only timely but proper.
and we submit these observa-
tions to the people for what they
are worth and leave the matter
with the voters.
There are but two candidates
before the people. Senator
Shields is asking an endorse
ment of his record and Governor
Rye desires the place. In the
pending national crisis when
factionalism should be tabooed
and politics is adjourned,
what is our solemn, patriotic
duty as between these two men?
Obviously, if we eliminate fac
tional and personal politics, land
this is no time for ether Sena-
tor Shields should be reelected.
And this conclusion can be east
ly reached without any dispar-
agement of Governor Rye, be-
cause all the logic of present
conditions is in favor of Senator
Shields and no good reason has
yet been offered why he should
be retired just to give the place
to some other man.
General Chas. 7. Gates, a man
of conceded ability and splendid
patriotism. seeing that condi-
tons were against him and real
izing that it was impossible to
defeat Senator Shields, grace
fnlly retired from the race, and
no doubt the Presidents famous
sentence, politics is adjourned"
had much to do with his with
drawal. If a man of such splen-
did attainments as Gates could
not hope to win, how could the
friends of Rye expect success
for the Governor. who in point
of ability, cannot class with
Gates or Shields. Gov. Rye is a
good man, but his candidacy for
the senate is untimely and i'll
advised. and his overwhelming
defeat is inevitable.
The reasons of Senator Shields
reelection are potent and many.

ways had the most profound ad-

the order of Free Masonary and
the Brotherhood, and tried to ex-
empilfy in his life the principals
and teachings of the order.
Death has again thrust its
scythe and taken from our midst
our beloved brother, rich in
years, rich in experience, ard
grand in his splendid victory and
achievements over the visisitudes
of mortal life. What then are
all the externals OF human dig

dream of ambition, the pride of

when nature has paid her just
debt. Here the scepter of the
prince. and the rod of the begg-

we drop the sympathetic tear
over the grave of our deceased
brother, let us cast around his
foibles, whatever they may
have been. the broad mantle of
Masonic charity, nor withhold
from his memory the commenda-
tons that his virtues claim at
our hands.
The angel of death has again
sounded the dreaded alarm and
the soul of another brother has
been summond from this mortal
life to join that innumerable
host whose spirits dwell with the
immortal, and now in deep sor-
row we tenderly consigned the
remains of our departed brother
to the kindly BOSOM of mother

pointed for all living. Death is
one event that comes to every
human being. neithr tears nor
anguish, nor breaking of heart
strings can do anything. when
the fatal summons comes. They
are utterly powerless to ward
off the grim monster. All We
can do is to bow before the affl-
ictions and reverently say. The
