In the centre is to be a hole one fourth of an inch in diameter. This will make the coin easily dis tinguishable by sight or touch.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, APRIL 5, 1900. Kill* Without IHttliiKT. Wlint is lyddite? The high explosive thus called from the name of the small Kentish town anil gunnery center where the experiments with it were made is nothing less than picric acid brought into a dense state by fusion. Picric acid is a blight yellow sub stance freely used iu peaceful indus tries for dyeing purposes. It is ob tained by the action of nitric acid on phenol or carbolic acid. It burns very violently, and, owing to the tremen dous blast produced by the explosion, the destructive effect of a bursting shell filled with it is some 11 times greater than that of a shell filled witU powder. All lyddite shells are equipped with percussion nose fuses only; hence their explosion takes place on impact iu the following fashion: The percussion fuse ignites a picric powder exploder, which in turn ignites the bursting charge of lyddite, the detonation of the fuse and of tin? two explosives inside the shell being instantaneous. The picric pow der exploder, we should add, is insert ed in a recess left iu the lyddite for that purpose. Lyddite sheii is to some extent less barbarous than shrapnel exploded by powder, for, though wide spread, its (lentil dealing effects are due more to air concussion than to the .woundin.:: effects ol' the llying frag ments. 11l other words, in the case of a lyddite shell bursting in a group of men, i!.f greater number will be killed not by pieces of the shell, but by the blow of the suddenly compressed air. Oik? el' Lamb's l'rankK. A pretentious poet got his verses sub mitted to Charles Lamb by a friend just before the poet was to meet Land) at dinner. Lamb found the verses to be feeble echoes of other poets, and when the author arrived lie was seen to be as empty as his verses. This awakened Lamb's spirit of mischie vous waggery. At dinner he said in the course of conversation: "That reminds me of some verses I wrote when I was young," and then he quoted a line or two which he recol lected from the poet's book, to the lat tor's amazement and indignation. Lamb was diverted immensely, but kept per fectly serious and quoted more lines in connection with another remark, beg ging the company to remember how young he was when he composed them. The author again looked daggers at him. Lamb capped all by introducing the first lines of "l'aradise Lost" ("Of man's first disobedience," etc.) as also written by himself, which brought the poet to his feet, bursting with rage. He said he had sat by and allowed his own "little verses" to be appropriated with out protest, but when he saw Milton also being pilfered from he could sit silent no longer. Lamb reveled iu tell ing this story.—ltev. David Macrae iu "English Humor." lull ue 117.a CauMCtl by Ozone. Ou 0110 occasion the writer walked to the edge of Lake Michigan when a strong wind was blowing right from Ihe lake. The bodily condition was as near perfect as could be, and yet in less than live minutes there was every evi dence of having caught cold. The se vere inlluenza continued until, on walk ing away, in less than 000 feet it dis appeared as if by magic. It is very certain that the tempera ture had nothing to do with this nor the wind, but the inllueuza was direct ly due to the abundant ozone in the air. liy inquiry it was learned that hun dreds of residents who had lived upon the immediate edge of the lake Liad been obliged to move back three or four miles iu order to relieve them selves from such experiences. Physicians readily admit that it is not always possible to say when one "catches" cold. It certainly cannot always be because of undue exposure or change iu temperature, but probably also to changes in the electric condi tion of the air. Facts of this kind should lead to the extremest caution in studying any supposed relation be tween the weather and health.—Popu lar Science. Two KutinK Storle». At Somersley we used constantly to meet Tom Price, a great friend of the Barrington family, a line rider and very greedy. One day, eating a good dinnei", ho said, "This is my idea of heaven." "Yes," said a neighbor, "such a din ner as this without money and with out price!" He always reminded me of the greedy man who, coming down stairs iu the morning before breakfast, said, "Food lias not passed my lips since last night, and tomorrow will be the third day."—"Sir Algernon West's Recollections."
