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. We feel

A Useful Tree.
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

HER NEWSPAPER DAD.
He Isn't Always Cross; Sometimes He
Is Positively Jubilant.
Newspaper daddies are funny, 1
think. Mine's one. 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

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

"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.) Reg- j

A Big Screw Driver.
"I saw a screw driver the other day
that weighed 2,000 pounds."
"Nonsense."
"But I did. though."
"Where was it?"
"In the engine room of an ocean
liner."?.London ln-ims.
The Hustler.
"Do you believe that all things eome
to him who waits?"
"They may start for him, but usually
some man who hustles overtakes .
them before they get to the man who
waits."?Houston Post.

More Than Enough is Too
Much.
To maintain health, a mature man or
Woman needs just enough food to repair
the waste and supply energy and body
heat. The habitual consumption of
more food than is necessary for these
purposes is the prime cause of stomach
troubles, rheumatism and disorders of
the kidneys. If troubled with indigestion,
revise your diet, let reason and not
appetite control and take a few doses of
Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tab
