EXPLOSIVES. How They Are "Set Off" and How They May Be Handled. There are two ways in which an explosive may he set off?by burning and by detonation. The burning process is progressive from one particle to -another, as of fire in a grate, only infinitely more moid. This process is adapted to gunpowder, requiring, as it does, a very short time for the burning up of the explosive body. The other form of explosion, the detonative, being at once throughout the mass, is unfitted for use in guns, which would be smashed to pieces, but is adapted to shattering or breaking purposed such as blasting rocks in mining operations and bursting charges in shells, torpedoes and submarine mines. Substances of the latter sort are termed high explosives. Some examples may be given of the safety with which th? mos? dangerous explosives may ordinarily be handled. For instance, a considerable quantity of gun cotton, such as pure cotton treated with nitric acid, may be set afire and will burn quietly, but if a mooo Ko cof ofirn tho hoof and o uuiLicu c maoo urc uuw uuut uuu pressure on the surface of the burning body will cause the whole to be exploded. A torpedo filled with wet compressed gun cotton will not explode if a shell from a cannon should penetrate it and burst in the mass of gun cotton. Even nitroglycerin will burn like oil in small quantities, and a stick of nitroglycerin may be set on fire without danger of harm.?St Nicholas. A CHARMED KEY. Its Refusal to Work and What Might Have Happened. You may be interested to hear of a thing which happened to me in Brittany last summer. I had to sign some railway transfers before the nearest British consul, who was at Brest. I locked up the papers and railway stock in a Breton cupboard as high as the ceiling and very solid. I kept the key* in my pocket. When my cousin and I were ready to start, I took out the key, and it would not open its own cupboard. The servants came in turn and tried in vain. We had to miss our train to Quimper, which was our first stage to Brest. Now, our village locksmith was very rough and ready, so the next morning 1 said I would try the key myself once more before he perhaps ruined my lock. The key fitted perfectly, the cupboard opened easily, we got the papers, and we went. But, imagine, we found at the station placards posted up telling of the awful wreck of the Brest train the day before, and it was the train in which we should have been but for the obstinacy of the key. We saw the carriages all fallen into the river, and the dead and dying were in the hospital at Quimper.

The carnahuba palm of Brazil may be said to be the world's most useful tree. Its roots make a very valuable drug, a blood purifier. Its timber will take a high polish and is in demand among cabinetmakers for fine work. The sap becomes wine or vinegar, according to the way it is prepared, and starch and sugar are also obtained from this sap. The fruit of the tree is a cattle food, the nut is a good coffee substitute, and ipica nrsKca cer<?c. (5 INCHES HIGH. oils head and foot. All ;lats and rollers, $6.50.

He's funniest at breakfast only it isn't breakfast 'cause it's lunch, and that's another funny thing about it , "Where's 'smornin's paper?"' he asks 1 mamma the first thing when he comes downstairs. And then when she looks sort of childishly at him. 'cause he's a little gruff he hurries lip and says, ,kGood morning, everybody," just as though he felt kind-a 'shamed of himself. J And then he won't talk when he gets his old paper. He just sticks his nose I into it and looks at one page after anI n+hoT -inert ?><a fnst ns hf* can. and then he begins all over again and does it slower and keeps still for quite awhile. .Then^ mamma and I wait for an explosion? . "Ijits!" he says. "They couldn't spell 'cat' right" - Then he goes chasing from one page to another as fast as ever he can, talking to himself, and when he's got real ! mad he shouts at mamma: "Tbev buried it! See. They buried it back there?way back there, of course, and ! it's the best story in the paper!" I Then mamma says2 quiet, like a calm afteFF storm. '"Come, dear, your coffee '11 got COld." But he's more like a bear than a dear, and he doesn't come, but he i . n ? f /i 1/1 rviruir* [ Uil lilUUluJJj ab> LUU VT*Vfc | guess he tinally gets tired of himself, too, and then he jumps up. throws the i paper on the chair and tries to dodge | mamma's funny smile. Mamma's awfully patient I think, | and she never gets mad, but just smiles I and smiles at daddy when be gets cross I at things. Sometimes she asks him I why he wants to keep on being a news| paper man if it's so awful. One time he answered and said it was because if he kept on working-sixteen hours a day maybe the office would some time give him as much as the stereotyper gets for working eight hours a day. Mamma said that was sarcasm. I guess he thinks sarcasm must be a good thing for the office, 'cause he most always talks that way about it But newspaper daddies aren't always cross. Sometimes mine hurries downstairs a whole lot earlier, and then when he grabs the paper he smiles all ord cfinntc nt mammn* . w V T Vt UUU^ w wv ? s "See tnalstory ? That's a clean scoop, and a bully one! That's -worth living for! And, say, won't the fellows on the old Bugle feel sore, though! "I tell you," he says then, "one day like that is worth a bicycle of Cathay," whatever that is. And then mamma looks at me ark! smiles, 'cause we both think he's funny sometimes.?Des Moines (la.)
