It
A bill has been passed by Congress
providing for the coinage of the ?• cor.t
piece, which was discontinued some
years ago. To remove the objection
attached to the old coin, viz., the mis
taking of it for a dime, the coin is to be
unique. It is to be made of nickel, the
size of the bronze cent, although
thicker. 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.

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."
