_ The Power of Lyddite.
It is a very difficult problem to ascer
tain the numerical superiority of lyd
dite over other explosives. It iscertain
e ly six times more powerful than nitro
. glycerin, which in turn is at least eight
. times more powerful than the same
. weight of gunpowder. Further, all ex
- perience shows that its effects are spread
r over a much greater area than in the
‘ case t>f nitroglycerin or dynamite,
which are intensely local in their ac
tion. It has been frequently erroneous
ly stated that lyddite or melinite may
be used as a substitute for cordite or
. gunpowder in propelling a projectile.
Such could not be the case, however, as
the explosion takes place so rapidly
1 that the chamber of the gun would be
I inevitably shattered.
Probably one of the greatest advan
> tages of lyddite is its absolute safety to
, handle, which we can realize when wo
recall its use in the arts for over a cen
tury without its powers being even sus
pected. In this respect, combined with
its superlative destructive capacities,
lyddite approaches an ideal explosive
for shells, and it is safe to predict that
it will play an extremely important
part in the great military operations of
the future. —-Chambers’ Journal.
Mother Love Conquered.
A pathetic incident which ha ppi nod
recently in this city shows that astrong
will can sometimes do more in combat
ing dread disease than all the skill of
the medical fraternity. An entire fam
ily, consisting of both parents and four
children of tender age, was stricken
with malignant pneumonia. The wife
was apparently the worse sufferer, and
her case was given up by the doctors as
beyond hope. Meanwhile her husband
became suddenly worse and died. Ev
erything that medical science could de
had been done for the wife without
avail, and after consultation the phy
sicians decided to take a desperate risk
and tell her of her husband’s death,
reasoning that the shock might kill her,
but also might arouse her ebbing
strength and assist in checking the
coma which was already presaging dis
solution.
The experiment was tried, and when
the devoted mother learned that her
death would leave her children without
a protector, her mother love aroused her
last energies and she not only survived
the great shock of her life partner's
death, but she actually recovered.—
Philadelphia Record.
The Evolution of the Steamship*
When it seemed that the limit had
about been reached with wrought iron
as the main reliance of the designer,
mild steel had been so perfected as to
enable progress to be maintained. The
large boilers necessary to withstand the
high pressures and furnish the power
for high speeds would have been im
possible but for mild steel, and the same
thing is true of the moving parts of the
engine. It may be noted also that work
manship had improved, and the use of
antifriction metals for bearings, com
bined with this improved workmanship,
enabled the high rotational speed to be
carried out with safety and reliability.
The machinery of Wampanoag, de
signed in 1865, was so heavy that only
3.24 i. h. p. per ton of machinery was
obtained. The San Francisco, one of the
earliest of the modern cruisers of the
United States navy in which advantage
was taken of all the factors for reduc
tion of weight, obtained 10.63 i. h. p.
ton of machinery.—Commodore G. W.
Melville, U. S. N., in Engineering Maga

Six Month# In a Bath.
Life in a bath must bo somewhat mo
notonous, but it is quite common in the
best of our modern hospitals. At first it
was tried only in a few absolutely hope
less c; ”S, but the results were so satis
factory that various forms of disease are
now systematically treated by continu
ous immersion in water.
Some time ago, for instance, a young
girl was dying from a complication of
terrible diseases. She was a mere shad
ow, and nothing but death was before
her under ordinary treatment. But an
ingenious doctor placed her on a sheet
and sank her into a warm bath, so that
only her head remained above water.
The bath was kept constantly warm,
and in it she ate, drank and slept for
183 days and nights. At the end of the
time she stepped out fat and strong.
In skin diseases the continuous bath
is invaluable, for it can be medicated,
and many hopeless cases of burning
have been successfully treated in this
extraordinary way. —Exchange.
Coronetfl.
The coronet of a duke consists of al
ternate crosses and leaves, the leaves
being a representation of the leaves of
the parsley plant. The princes of the
blood royal also wear a similar crown.
The state headgear of a marquis con
sists of a diadem surrounded by flowers
and pearls placed alternately. An earl,
however, has neither flowers nor leaves
surmounting his circlet, but only points
rising each with a pearl on the top. A
viscount has neither flowers nor points,
but only the plain circlet adorned with
pearls, which, regardless of number,
are placed on the crown itself. A baron
has only six pearls on the golden border,
not raised, to distinguish him from an
earl, and the number of pearls render
his diadem distinct from that of a vis
count.
Change ot Climate In Anta.
Professor Muschketoff records tho
fact that observations at eight glaciers
in the Caucasus extending over a period
of eight to ten years show that they are
steadily receding. The termini of the
glaciers are retreating from 9 to 38
meters every year.—American Geo
graphical Society’s Bulletin.

“Mrs. Peddieord,” said that lady’s

“Certainly. I said ‘Yea’ once and

A YANKEE.
Vnrl.un View# In Vurions I'lacea as
to AV bat He Is.
. j “I was greatly amused,” said a New
| Orleans citizen who has lately made a
, visit abroad, “to n tico bow the term
i ‘Yankee’ widens in application as one
: gets farther and farther away from the
, I habitat of the real thing
“In New York a Yankee is common
ly supposed to be a native of Connecti
cut, Vermont or Massachusetts, and I
have noticed that the name is applied
to mean skinflints rather than to the
people in general. In St. Louis a Yankee
is understood loosely to be any one from
the extreme northeast. Here in New
Orleans the term includes pretty nearly
everybody above Mason and Dixon’s
line—in short, ‘northerner’ and ‘ Yan
kee’ are more or less synonymous.
“Now comes the really absurd part
of it, although quite in line with what
I have just remarked. While I was in
London I found myself continually re
ferred to as a ‘Yankee’ by natives who
had learned I was from New Orleans.
‘I think you Yankees are very charm
ing people,’ said a big wholesaler who
wanted to be extra pleasant. ‘I know
several from your state. ’ I tried to ex
plain at first, but I soon got tired of
that I was sure to bo greeted by a stare
of amazement. ‘But I thought all
Americans were Yankees, doncher
know, ’ would be the usual protest.
“Later on I met a very intelligent
Votel keeper at Bern, in Switzerland,
and in tho course of conversation he re
marked that he had an extremely agree
able countryman of mine staying at his
house the previous season. ‘As you are
both Yankees,’he said, ‘you may by
chance know him.’ ‘Where does he
live?’ I asked. ‘ln Buenos Ayres,'re
plied the hotel keeper.”—New Orleans

INDIAN SIGNAL SERVICE.
They Have Lon& Telephoned by the
I of iJrunin.
Travelers in uncivilized countries
have often wondered how some savage
tribes were able to transmit news for
hundreds of miles ■with no apparent
facilities for doing so. An interesting
light is thown on this subject by Jose
Bach, who tells of tho means by which
the Indians on the Amazon communi
cate with each other at a distance. The
natives live in groups of 100 to 200
persons in settlements half a mile or a
mile apart. In each dwelling there is a
wooden,drum, which is buried for half
its height in sand mixed with frag
ments of wood, bone and mica, and has
a triple diaphragm of leather, wood
and rubber. When this drum is struck
with a wooden mallet, the sound travels
far and is distinctly heard in the other
drums in the neighboring dwellings.
It is beyond doubt that the transmis
sion of the sound takes place through
the earth, since the blows struck are
scarcely audible outside of the houses
in which the instruments are placed.
After a “malocca, ” or dwelling, has
been “called up” by an initial blow
conversation is carried or. between the
two drums. Mr. Bach’s explanation is
that the communication is facilitated
by the nature of the ground, tho drums
doubtless resting upon one and the same
stratum of rock, since transmission
through ordinary alluvial earth could
not be depended upon. This method
furnishes an ingenious modification of
the process employed by Indians for '
perceiving distant noises, such as tho
gallop of a horse, which consists in ap
plying tho ear to the earth.—St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
L'ses of Adversity.
It is something new to discover that
a bodily affliction can assist one in
mastering the difficulties of learning a
foreign language, but there is a case of
the kind on record.
Miss Gertrude came down stairs one
morning with red eyes, a swollen nose
and a generally distressed appearance.
“What is the matter, Gertrude?”
asked her mother.
“An awful cold in my head,” she re
plied.
“I am very sorry,” said her sympa
thizing parent.
“I was when I got up,” cheerfully
rejoined the young miss, “but I’m not
now. I can get that French nasal sound
exactly. Tray be-ong. Bong zhoor.
How’s that?”—Youth’s Companion.
A Game Jockey.
Tod Sloane’s gameness will never be
questioned by those who saw him win a
race on Walter in a nose finish at the
old East St. Louis track some years
ago. After the race Tod was hardly able
to dismount. Then it was learned that
he had broken an arm in the race. It
seems that he was crowded against the
fence in a jam around one of the turns
and broke his arm. Switching the reins
to his good arm, he rode the race out
with great determination, putting up a
“Garrison finish” and winning on the
post by the narrowest possible margin.
It was an exhibition of gameness the
like of which was never before heard of
in the history of the American turf.—
Chicago Record.
Twi»tcd Logic.
It is said that during the Irish rebel
lion of 1848 a bishop sent a request to
a parish priest for information and re
ceived the reply, “The peace of the
country is assured; faction fights are
increasing. ”
A similar twist in logic is manifested
in a message of congratulation receive. I
by Mr. Willis, on his election to the
New South Wales parliament. The tel
egram from his agent read, “Carnida
jubilant; heavy fighting; several hurt,
including self.”—London Chronicle.

of “alarms”—these b--ing machines by
which ns v. ho o’.lit-rwir o would n.>t
think are made to think. Tho average
individual is obliged, however unwill
ingly, to get up at a certain time in tlni
morning. To provide for this require
ment many ingenious persons have ap
plied their talents to tho production of
contrivances for awakening people ami
cornpc Hing them to arise. Thero is a
kind of bedstead, for example, whi-h
holds its mattress in a frame that is re
tained in the normal position byacateh.
At the proper hour the catch, operated
by a clockwork mechanism, loses its
grip, and tho mattress frame becomes
vertical instead of horizontal, throwing
sleepy head out upon the floor.
Thero is another sort of bed which
lets tho head of the sleepy person drop
When getting up time arrives, one mil
of the mattress frame collapsing. But
one of tho queerest of tho patented
methods of waking people up involves
the employment of a tin pan and a
weight hung by a cord. When tho
hands of a clock reach a certain point,
tho weight is released and falls upon
tho pan, making a direful racket. An
other oddity is a frame from which aro
Busp.'iid.'d a number of corks. During
tho night it is lowered gradually by a
clockwork mechanism until at tho
proper hour anti minute tho dangling
corks begin to bob against tho nose and
face of the sleeper. Os course ho wakes
up. Tho most obvious advantage of
these sleep alarms is that they render i
anxiety on tho part of tho sleeper un
necessary, so far as rising is concerned.
He can snooze undisturbed by tho neces
sity of watching himself.
Hayseed visitors in the city will in
sist on blowing out the gas notwith
standing all tho newspaper jokes on the
subject. To provide against such acci
dents, a citizen of Ashland, Wis., has
invented a little apparatus that is in
tended to bo attached to every gas fix
ture in a hotel. The breath of a person
who attempts to blow out the gas tilts
a delicately balanced electrode and
closes a circuit, giving an alarm in tho
office. Another kind of alarm, patented
; by a Chicago man, notifies tho honso
i holder of escaping gas. If yon are
I afraid of pickpockets, you enn obtain
| protection by wearing a small machine
I that makes a big disturbance in case
| anybody tries to put his baud into your
I pocket.
Even after death you may find alarms
' a service. If a grave robber comes
i along, a torpedo placed in tho coffin for
j that purpose will biowhim to smither
<. ns. Supposing that; the disturl an<--i
I wakes yon to life again, a clockwork
' mechanism will start a bell to ringing,
I while a rod flag runs up to tho top of
. tho tombstone, giving notieo that a
' pr< nipt resurri.-1-ti'>n is d'-sir.-d. Speak
! ing of waking up suggests mention of
j some odd contrivances for doing neces
> sary things before getting out of bed in
I the morning. Ono of tln-so, patented by
i a lazy Vermonter, enables one to turn
’ on tho draft of a stove or furnace and
then turn ov.-r ft,.- stipph mentary
snooze. This, however, is a primitive
c--ntrivan.’.- eonipared with the inven
ti.m of a resident cf Providence which
