Ashore for n Day.

VOtOT0 IOU u 00yo
For three weeks it had rained con.
tinually, so in a certain camp on the
Mexican border they had dug a deep
ditch around their camp to drain of
the water. One night the rain stopped
its downpour, much to the relief of the
soldiers, so the next day a soldier
asked for leave to visit nearby town.
This is the way he asked for his leave :
captain, may I have shore leave to-
day, sir?" It was granted him.

Most Powerful Explosive.

IT HE most powerful explosive known

nation of trinitrotoluol, has been dis
covered, or that there has been in
vented an explosive of such power

or some such small quantity. will

some measure Of truth in these
stories. excepting in that part Of them
which alleges that the explosive is
something that has not heretofore
been known.
There are very many powerful ex-
plosives known, but most Of them are
variants of one another. With some
of them as their power increases so

have the maximum of power con-

sensitiveness. 1t must be SO insensi-

its friends. Cannon cartridges must
bump over railroads and wagon roads,
