CURIOUS BITS
OF HISTORY
JEFFERSON'S MOUNTAIN OF
SALT
By A. W. MACY.
While President Jefferson was
negotiating with France for the
purchase of Louisiana Territory
he transmitted to congress one
very remarkable document. It
was an abstract he had prepared
of certain papers relating to the
territory, and pictured the coun
try in the most giovving colors.
It told of a tribe of Indians of
gigar.tic stature; of bluffs SCO
feet high, faced with stone and
carved by nature Into what ap
peared like a multitude of an
tique towers; of a vast prairie
country whose soil was too rich
for the growth of trees. But
most marvelous of all was an
Immense mountain of pure salt.
This was said to be located
about 1,000 mile# north of New
Orleans and near the Mississip
pi river, and to be 180 miles
long and 45 miles wide, with no
trees or shrubs on It. All glit
tering white It stood, and from
its base Issued great streams of
pure salt water. Jefferson had
been misled by the fairy tales
of travelers. His political op
ponents nad no end cf fun with
him in after years about his
"salt mountain.”

A strong Will Can Over
come Any Harmful
Habit
Emperor of Germany some time
iig i demanded the latest statistics
as to suicides, accidents, crimes,
and the ineffcienccs of labor re
sulting from immoderate thinking.
After a careful study of thes sta
tistics, he experimented upon
himself, and tound that even small
(inanities of liquor lessened his
energy and capacity for work.
He became thoroughly convinced
that alcohol is responsible for a
large share of the sufierimr and
sorrow iu the world, that it ma
terially lessens the working ca
pacity of man, and that it is one
of the greatest factors in retarding
the development of both nations
and individual. Having once con
vinced himself of the truthfulness
of these things, with eharaet* listie
delei uiiuation and courage, he at
once became a total abstainer, and
began working for a reformation
among his people. Recently the
emperor gave a lecture on temper
ance, and drank a toast in and to
water.
Now it Kaiser William, the war
lord of Europe, will at once give
up the use alcohol when through
careful study ot the question he
has become convinced of its harm
ful effects, ought not every boy to
be courageous aud manly euough
to denounce forever the deadly
cigarette, the evil of which is tes
tified.—Vh.
DEADLY GUNCOTTON.
Charactarntic* of Thia Tarribla Ex
plosive of Warfare.
Many and odd are the materials
entering into the manufacture of
modern explosives, but perhaps the
most interesting of all these ele
ments of destruction as well as the
simplest is guncotton. The gun
cotton manufacturing industry is
large, as enormous quantities are
used in the charging of torpedoes
and for similar purposes.
The base of guncotton is pure
raw cotton or even cotton waste,
such as is used to clean machinery.
This is steeped in a solution of one
part of nitric arid three parts of
sulphuric acid. It is the former in
gredient that renders the mass ex
plosive, the sulphuric acid being
used merely to absorb all moisture,
thus permitting the nitric acid to
combine more readily with the cel
lulose of the cotton.
After being soaked for several
hours in the solution described the
cotton is passed between rollers to
expel all nonabsorbed acid, a process
carried to completion by washing
the cotton in clear water. This
washing process is a long one, re
quiring machinery which reduces
the cotton to a mass resembling
paper pulp. Should any nonabsorb
ed acid be allowed to remain it
would decompose the cotton.
If the explosive is to lie used aft
er the manner of powder it is still
further pulverized and then thor
oughly dried, but if intended for
torpedoes it is pressed into cakes of
various shapes and sizes—disk shap
ed, cylindrical, flat squares and
cubes. When not compressed gun
cotton is very light, as light as ordi
nary batting.
A peculiar characteristic of this
terrible explosive is that a brick of
it wlien wet may be placed on a bed
of hot coals, and as the moisture
dries out the cotton will flake and
burn quietly. If dry originally,
however, the guncotton will explode
with terrible force at about 320 de
grees of heat.
In general it is the custom to ex
plode guncotton by detonation or
an intense shock instead of by heat.
In a torpedo the explosive charge is
wet, this wet cotton being explod
ed by means of dry cotton in a tube,
this having been fired by a cap of
fulminate of mercury, the cap itself
having been fired by the impact of
the torpedo against the targst.
An Old Law.
The late Albert Pell, a Con
servative member of parliament,
who devoted his life to the better
ment of agriculture, the prevention
of cattle disease and the adminis
tration of the poor laws, was a man
of ready w ; t.
It is stated in a volume of remi
niscences of Mr.'T’ell that during an
election he was asked if he was not
the member who had made the law
which commanded poor men to sup
port their parents.
“No,” lie rapped out; “that is an
older law. It was written by God
Almighty on two tables of stone
and brought down by Moses from
Mount Sinai, and, as far ns I can
make out, Thomas, it is the stone
and not the law that has got into
your heart.”

“You say your baby doesn’t walk
yet?” said Jones “Mine does, and
it is not as old as yours. Y’our baby
cut his teeth yet?”
“Not yet,” said Bones.
“Oh, mine has—all of them,”
said Jones. “Does your baby talk?”
“Not yet,” replied Bones. “Can
yours?”
“Great Scott, yes,” answered
Jones.
Then Bones got desperate. ‘Does
he use a safety razor or one of the
other sorts?” he asked.—Philadel

A surgeon was explaining a very
uncommon case to his students and
finished up as follows:
“This, gentlemen, is a very rare
tumor indeed. In all my thirty
years’ experience 1 have never come
across one like this, and you will
see me remove it tomorrow.”
“No, you won’t,” said the pa
tient “If that’s all the experience
you’ve had of this sort of thing I’m
going homo.”
Wanted to Find Out.
It was night. They—he and she
—were sitting on the porch look

young man’s privilege is when he
sees a shooting star ?”
“No,” she answered. “I haven’t
the slightest idea- There goes one 1”

He—Do you think kissing is as

She —Well, it has certainly put
