Hydraulic Cartridges.

1t is often difficult and sometimes
dangerous to use ordinary explosives
for mining and eXcavating in confined
spaces, fact that has led to the de-
velopment of the hydraulic mining
cartridge.
The cartridge consists of steel
cylinder containing numerous small
pistons that move at right angles to
the axis of the cylinder and expand
when water is injected into them with
a hand pump. After drilling deep
enough hole the .wsrkmen insert the
cylinder and then set TO work at the
hand pump.
The tiny pistons expand until their
free eXtremities bear against the mass
Of rock with constantly increasing
force and the rock is gradually frac-
tured under tremendous pressure. The
operation, it is said, is not only cheap
er than the ordinary blast but disin-
tegrates larger area of rock.

New French SIanu.

The language of the Poilu is as
double Dutch, to the uninitiated. Any
one familiar with the slang of the
Quarter Latin would probably feel
more at home than NEST. But there
are many other ngredients--sOme
patois, some picked up in Morocco, and
some are survivalS of the soldier slang
Of the First empire. Such word is
"cleber," which apparently means to
eat after one has been on the point Of
starving. An explanation given of the
origin Of the word is that it IS cor
ruption of "kleba," the Russian for
bread. It is said that the French sol
diers on the great retreat from Mos
COW called out Papa, kleba," to Ma

WAS NOTHING BUT COLD TEA
Interesting Query Now Is, What Did
the brakes" of Flushing Think
: They Were Drinking?

An impressive entry in the influence
of-mind-over-matter contest is submit
ted by the Flushing correspondent. 4
prominent turner of an honest penny
of Flushing, it seems, with many
sly, knowing and suggestive wink
passed the word about that he was
now In a position to supply prominent
residents of that legally dry district
with what he with an air Of infinite
facetiousness denominated cold tea, to
be drunk on the premises.
Prominent rakeS Of Flushing
thronged to the premises at once,
thriving business soon was built up
and many lip was smacked and many
q genial jest was exchanged over the
so-called cold tea, the consensus OF the
best opinion being that our turner OF
an honest penny must have procured
for his patrons the private stock OF
seine old Kentucky cellar. Finally one
day there came along phlegmatic, un-
imaginative fellow who ordered
beaker Of cold tea in the accepted i'm
portant but secretive manner, started
to quaff and laid down the tipple with
something, we are sorry to say, very
like an oath. "Why, that's nothing
but cold tea," he exclaimed with kin
ding anger.
Our turner Of an honest penny frank
ly acknowledged that such in very
sooth was the fact and had been the
fact in very sooth since. the inception
of his little venture, smilingly remind-
ing all present that he never had Of
fered them anything but cold tea or
sold them the beverage under any
other name.
Our prominent rakes of Flushing,
satisfied that they had been put upon
and yet had no recourse, dispersed in
no little confusion, thoroughly humili-
ated, chagrined and ashamed, for such
is human nature, because they had
been trapped into betraying their I'M
familiarity with what it would have
served them Ill to know.-Cleveland
