J-OS 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.” "tc :V-. Wit by Joseph E BowlssJ HANES CCUNTY JOURNAL, HOflKM t GA. School Hoj e.

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.” The Rival Father*. “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 phia Ledger. Ha Objected. A surgeon was explaining a very uncommon case to his students and finished up as follows: “This, gentlemen, is a very rare tumor indeed.
