and go to bed by a flickering, slsxllng
light, ak If given off by burning fat.
In short, you simply cannot, explode
this powder unless you go to the trou
ble of confining II, nnd even then you
can explode It only by using a fulmi
nate of mercury detonator.
Tha quickest way to picture smoke
less powder Is to dismiss all .Ideas of
ths ordinary black gun powder so fa
miliar to every one. The color of the
modern powder Is not block at all, hut
has the shade of dark amber. In the
sense of a powder being finely divided
■olid, smokeless powder Is no powder
nt nil. It consists of a wnx-llke com
position, the slxe of the "grains’* vary
ing according to tho calibers of the
guns for which they are designed.
For use In revolvers, rifles and sport
ing guns, the grains resemble the tiny
perforated glass beads of the sort usid
lit old-time needlework. For the ma
chine guns, the rapid-fire guns, the
heavy rifles of battleships nnd forts,
the grains are cylindrical In shape, va
rying In slie from a third of an Inch
to three-fourths of an Inch In length 'o
three-fourths of an Inch In diamete-,
and about two Inches In length—each
grain, In order to Increase the area ex
posed to Ignition, being perforated
cqul-dlatantly and longitudinally, with
from one to six holes, big as knitting
needles, depending upon the size of the
grain.—Appleton’s Magaxlne.

THE TRIPOD PAINT CO.,

ARTIST
The capitol Is big and lonesome and
dark at night. When the officials and
clerks and porters and visitors all go
home at dusk, the night watchman
closes the ponderous doork and begins
his weary vigil.
It Isn't a very pleasant job, but some
body's got to do It, and there's always
a man ready for any kind of employ
ment that will keep the wolf from the
door. Nof that the work Is hard, for
the watchman has pnly to see that no
marauders get Inside, but it’s lonesome,
lonesome! If you don't believe it, ask
any man who has tried It.
A few years ago a night watchman
Imd an experience up there that made
him seek other employment. But It
wasn't real "hants,” auch as Tom Bray
soys flit about there now when night
comes on. This was a phantom con
jured In Watchman Smith's (which
Isn’t his name, by the way) brain by
John Barleycorn.
Happened this way: Smith came on
duty at the usual time. He'd been on
the job some time and knew how lone
some the big building was In the still
hours of the night. It hod got on hU
nerves somehow. Not that he was su
perstitious or afraid of anything that
walked In shoe leather. But the huge,
vacant, shadowy pile of stone and
granite made It a creepy place.
So Watchman Smith fortified himself
COMMITTEE NAMED
TO ARRANGE DINA
The annual meeting and dinner of
the Chamber of Commerce to be held

with a goodly flask of corn distillation.
As the night wore on he sipped coneo-
latlon from It more frequently, until
near daybreak he didn’t care much
what happened.
Unhappily he loit hie bearlnge In hie
rounds. In the main rotunda entering
from Hunter etreet stands (he great
marbla atatue of Ben Hill. That proved
Bmlth'a undoing. He got down In the
other end of the building, but he didn't
know It.
They found him early In the morning
sitting on the etepe, leading to the eu-
preme court rooms, weeping as If hit
heart would break.
"What’e the trouble. Smith?" »ome
one aeked.
"Hell's to play," he moaned. "Some
body got In here last night and carried
off that Ben Hill etatoo. And I'll have
to pay for It, an' 't mus' hare coet a
pile o' money. Me fer the farm agin.”
The Hill atatue weight about twenty
tone.
Smith It plowing now, they eay, and
has no complaint.
