I* It the modern high explosive which linn superseded the old-style black powder, oven a* electricity hu* superceded gaa. nnd which Is used not only In the field for sporting purpose*, but Ih used ex cluslvely for the shoulder arms of th army and the navy ns well as for the machine gun*, the rapid-tire guns, nnd tho huge rifles on the decks of our bat tleships nnd within the works of our fortifications. Practically It Is nothing hut a mixture of gun cotton and alco hol and ether, or acetone, or else ace tone with gun cotton and nitroglycerin —the two strongest explosives known— and blended Into a new compound which Is at least double as strong as tho common black powder, explodes without giving off smoke, and, once finished, not merely loses the danger ous characteristics of its dreaded In gredients, but Is so safe that you might give a hatful of the powder In tended for the IB-Inch Sandy Hook gun to a baby to play with. He might pound It with a hammer to his heart’s content, or yon yourself might place It on an anvil and bring a 40-pound sledge down on It. It would merely squash like so much soap or putty. Ho concussion-proof Is this pow der that you might drop, a house on a heap of fifty tons of It and It would not explode.

In short, you simply cannot explode this powder unless you go to the trou ble of confining It, nnd even then you can explode It only by using a fulmi nate of mercury detonator. The quickest way to picture smoke less powder Is to dismiss nil Ideas of the ordinary black gun powder so fa miliar to every one. The color of the modem powder Is not black at all, but has the shade of dark amber. In the sense of a powder being finely divided solid, smokeless powder Is no powder at all. It consists of a wax-like com position, the size of Ihe “grains*' vary ing according to the 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 us id In old-time needlework. For the ma chine guns, the rapid-fire guns, tho heavy rifles of battleships and fort*, the grulns are cylindrical In shat>e, va rying In size from a third of nn inch to three-fourth* of an inch In length :o three-fourths of an Inch In diameter, nnd about two Inches In length—each grain, in order to Increase the area ex posed to Ignition, being perforated equl-dlstantly and longitudinally, with from one to six holes, big as knitting needles, depending upon the size of the grain.—Appleton’s Magazine.

THIS WATCHMAN IN TROUBLE 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 doors 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 feady for any kind of employ ment that will keep the wolf from the door. Not that the work Is hard, for the watchman has only 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 had an experience up there that made him seek other employment. But It wasn’t real “hants,” such as Tom Bray says flit about there now when night comes on. This was a phantom con jured In Watchman Smith’s (which Isn’t Ills nam*e, 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 %ulldlng was In the still hours of the night. It had got on hU nerves somehow. Not that he was su* perctitlou* or afraid of anything that wnlked In shoe leather. But the huge, vacant, shadowy pile of stone and granite ninde it a creepy place. So Watchman Smith fortified himself with a goodly flask of corn distillation. 'As the night wore on he sipped conso lation from It more frequently, until near daybreak he didn’t care much what happened. Unhappily he lost his bearings In his founds. In the main rotunda entering from Hunter street stands the great marble statue of Ben Hill. Thpt proved Smith’s undoing. He got down in tho other end of the building, but he didn't know It. They found him early in tfle morning sitting on the steps, leading to the su preme court rooms, weeping as If his heart would break. “What’s the trouble. Smith?” some one asked. “Hell’s to pjay,” he moaned. "Some body got In here last night and carried off that Ben Hill statoo. And I’ll have to pay for It, an’ 't mu*' have cost a pile o’ money. Me fer the farm agin." The Hill statue weighs about twenty tons. Smith Is plowing now, they say, und has no complaint. * WILL BE MISSED K< 1 ward Calloway, the bait known hotel man lu Georgia, will seftrer bis connection with the Klinbnll house December 15 to take charge of the Brown House In Macon, Ga..

COMMITTEE NAMED • TO The annual meeting und dinner of the Chamber of Commerce to be held the lirat week in January' was one it the main topic* of discussion at the monthly meeting of the board of direc tors Tuesday afternoon.
