FEW THINGS WILL EXPLODE
REAL SMOKELESS POWDER
What Is this amokelesn powder? 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superseded the old-style black powder,
oven a* electricity hu* superceded gaa.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. Ho proof Is It against explo
sion by lire that you might*place n

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

chine guns, the rapid-fire guns, tho
heavy rifles of battleships and fort*,
the grulns are cylindrical In shat>e, va

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.

WHO STOLE BEN HILL ST A TUE?
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. *
