POWER IN OUR POWDER.
A Shot rewat a M laeh RiUe SwSScleet
U Urt . Bnttlaahiw ■lgkt Feet.
” Velocity and pressure, ” explained
tho powder mill superintendent, •'are
the two meta requisites in proving pow
der. The government is very specific in
its contract*. It demands that who
fired under service conditions in the gun
for which it to intended powder must
give to the fwjectile a mutate velocity .
of at least a certain number of feet per
ascend without producing a prearare of
more than a certain number of tousle 1
ths square inch. For modem gundlhe (
'velocity required varies from 2,000 to
•,800 feet in a second, and the preonAe I
1* not allowed to exceed id tons to the <
square inch. In some of our guns of the
present day the amount of energy stored
up in tho powder charge is so tremen
dous as to be almost incredible. The ,
limit of energy upon the projectile can- <
not be estimated, so vast are the possi- (
.bilitia*
"For example, I may cite the Ore
gon’s 1* inch rifles. Five hundred and
fifty pounds of powder in these guns
impart to an 1,100 pound shot a velocity
of 2,100 feet per second, and the energy
of the projectile ia nearly 84,*000 foot
tons. This power is sufficient to lift
such a vessel as the Oregon eight feet
cut of the water.
•‘Those screens between the cannon
and the breastworks are electrio chrono
graphs 100 feet apart from each other
and tho cannon, and they register the
time of tho projectile’s flight with abso
lute accuracy.”
“And absolute accuracy is—what?”
“The millionth part of a second.”—
Ban Francisco Call
The oily of St.' Louis has adopted
lbs curfew law. The age limit is
fifteen years, and the time limit 8 p
m. in winter and 9 in summer. Bt.
Louie is the first of the large cities to
adopt such a law, though it is in suc
cessful operation in s number of the
smaller cities of the West and North*
west. It is believed that good results
will follow the breaking up of bands of
boys and youths that gather after
night on corners and in vacant lots.
The St. Louis police will be instructed
to pay particular attention to such
gatherings and disperse them under
<4he curfew law.

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.
II does not require an expert to detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. The
hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark,
puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow,
parsnip-colored complexion indicates it.
A physician wouidmk if you bad rbeu
mitten, a dull pain or ache tn the back or
over the hips, etoaaaeh trouble, desire to
urinate often, or a burning or scalding in
passing it; if after passing there is an un
satisfied fading as if it must be at ones re
peated, or if th» urine has a brick duat de
posit or strong odor.
When these symptoms are present, no
time should be lest in removing the cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the
bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage,
and sometimes requiring the drawing of
the urine with instruments, or may run
into BrighTs Disease, the most dangwous
stags of kidney trouble.
Dr. KHansn Swamp-Root, the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and blad
der specialist, is a positive remedy for
such dteniw lie reputation is world
wide and His so easy to get at any drug
store that no one need suffer any length
of time for want of it
However, if you prefer to fint test its
wonderful merits, mention The Middle
Geonia Farmer, and write to Dr. KH
merftCb,, Binghamton, N. Y-. for a
sample bottle ate book WlingaU about it,
both sent absolutely free by mnil.

The Greatest Ever Known,

OF KIW YORK.
Breaks The Dividend Record.
It has always held the record securely, but the claim paid by the compa
ny upon a policy issued to Mr, Mark Banks, of Oonnecticut, the particulars
of which are riven here, shows that THE MUTUAL LIFE has in this in
stance eclipsed all previous dividend results: m
The dividend* amounted to,
Paid to the estatesl7,o2B.oo
How does this happen? Mr. Banks paid all the premiums in cash, and j
he did thia fur fifty-tour years. He did hot utilise any portion of the divi
dends in payment of premiums, but permitted the Company to invest these
for his benefit. Here are the particulars:
Policy No. 1,283. Issued March 5,1845. Amonnt
’ Age 40. Annual premium, $l6O. v Life
Original insurance in -
Diridend additions paid in 1898,-
Amount of death claimno

Realized to estate over premiums paid .00
Being nearly equal to a return of all the premiums paid with two and a halt (2s) per
cent, compound interest per annum, with insurance increasing annually from >S,(KS
at age 40, to $17,028 at age 94. ■ „ ~
The dividend additions paid to the estate were 139 per cent, of all the premiums
paid for the insurance. • v a •
Mr. Mark Banks was the treasurer and cashier of the Greenwich Savings
Bank, and died at the good old age of ninety-four. He appreciated the
power of compound interest, and his wisdom is exemplified by the result 01
bis method of investmentr—a result that has never been equalled by a policy
holder in any other company in the world.
