has Iwcn nought, nnd thimwintl.i of dol
lars havo I ron expended in f ho effort to
obtain a rotiBfartory mihstitato for blark
gunpowder. Cordite, the latent explo
sive, is suid to be the most satisfactory
propcllant of modern times ir linviil
warfare, and the cxjiert opinion seem
to be that in a few years gunpowder nil
now understood will hare vauiRhed.
The earliest records of etablinhed
powder mills show thnt there was only
one in operation in 15110, this onv being
In England. During the year 1 797 the
Walthntn Abbey Powder mills were
purchased by the English government
Thoy are still conducted by it The Fa
versham mills, which up to that date
were the largest in the world, passed
Into the hands of a private corporation
in 1815. Tlio manufacture of powder
was continued without much improve
ment, except in the efficiency of tho
grinding and mixing machinery, until
about 85 years ago, the formula for
black powder being saltpeter 75 parts,
charcoal 15 parts and sulphur 10 parts,
the whole forming a mechanical mix
ture and not a chemical compound.
Smokeless powder, however, becamo
absolutely a necessity, for the reason
that smoke producing powders masked
the object aimed at, nnd the torpedo
boat, which was becoming a recognized
feature of naval warfare, could daxh tip
and discharge one or more deadly mis
siles nnder cover of the smoko.
Smokeless powders were first pro
duced in France, and for some timo the
aecret of the manufacture was guarded
jealously. As soon as the necessity for
this kind of powder became apparent,
however, a number of manufacturers
devoted attention to it, and as s result
various brands of smokeless explosives
were placed on the market
Tho most satisfactory results eventu
ally made their appearance in cordite,
which was produced through experi
ments made by Professor Dewarand Sir
Frederick Abel. Cordite is composed of
nitroglycerin 58 per cent gun cotton 37
per cent and vaseline 5 per cent Nitro
glycerin is an oily, colorless liquid and
an active poison. It is produced by mix
ing a quantity of sulphuric acid with
almost double the amount of nitric acid
and allowing it to cool. About one
eighth of the total weight of glycerin is
then added gradually, tho mixture be
ing kept bolnw a temperature of 70 de
grees F. by passing nir nnd cold water
through it After tho mixture has stood
a sufficient timo tlio acids are drawn off,
and the resfdno (nitroglycerin) is wash
ed and filtered.
Nitroglycerin cannot be ignited easily
by a fliuno, and a lighted match or ta
per plunged into it would be extinguish
ed. It is sensitive to friction or percus
sion, either of which will detonato it
Anothor peculiarity is thnt tho higher
tho temperature the moro sensitive it
becomes. It will solidify at a temper
ature of 40 degrees, and its explosive
force is estimated to be about twelve
times that of gunpowdor.
One of the most approved methods
used in tho manufacture of gnu cotton
is this: The raw cotton is torn into
shreds, dried and dipped in a mixture
of sulphurio and nitrio acids. It is then
placed in a stream of running water nnd
washed thoroughly. The cotton is then
wrung out usually in a centrifugal ma
chine. It is afterward boiled, dried, out into
pulp and pressed into disks. When the
gun cotton is finished, there should be
no trace of the acids remaining. Vase
line, the other component part of cor
dite, is the well known extract from pe
troleum, and its usefulness is chiefly to
lubricate the bore of the gun and thus
lesson the friction between it and the
projectile. It also has a tendency to im
part a waterproof nature to cordite.
A colorless liquid prepared from aoe
. tate of lime, called acetone, is used as a
solvent in the manufacture of cordite.
The method of preparing the explosive
is: The required proportion of nitro
glycerin is poured over tho gun cotton,
and the two, with the addition of ace
' touo, are kneaded together into a stiff
pasta Vaseline is then added, and the
whole compound, lifter being thorough
ly mixed, is put into a machine and the
cordite pressed out and cut into lengths,
after which it is dried.
To the artillerist the nature of cordite
is represented by a fraction whose nu
merator gives in hundredths of an inch
the diameter of the die through which
the cordite has been pressed, its denom
inator being the length of the stick in
inches. The cordite known as 30-13,
which is the size need for the 6 inch
quick firing guns, signifies that it di
ameter is three-tenths of an inch, and
it is 13 inches long.
It is necessary to use a fine grain
powder to ignite a charge of cordite, it
being secured In suoh a manner that a
flash from the tube firing the gun will
jause the explosion of the charge, A
full charge of powder for a IS inch gun
is 89B pounds, while the cordite charge,
' having the same emoleuoy, is only 167$
pounds.
Cordite is one of the safest explosives
known, and is not dangerous unless it
' is confined. It can be held in the hand
And lighted without danger. It borne
. slowly and with a bright flame. Al
though comparatively a new discovery,
. it is used extensively in every navy
throughout the world. It was manufac
tured fcrrt in Great Britain and was in
.' f-uexal vm on her battleships before
tycer powers. New York

The wise physicinu frequently finds
ft noctwsnry to "minister to a mind dis

soon began to loo nil Appetite nnd grow

Her friends, fearing that she -vns do

questions, noted her symptoms, gave

"It will lis necessary, miss, first of

Tho nir hero is not good for you. Iluvti

"Why, I live in the country, doctor,"
sho replied.
"Very good. Return, then, to your

She returned to her village home, ob
served the doctor's directions faithfully.
paying particular attention to taking
the medicine, and was well in lo.s than
a week.
Meeting the family phsylciau one
day, it occurred to her to tell him her
experience. He listened to her, asked to
see the pellets, tasted them, ami, finding
them to be merely sugar unmedicated,
said:
"What did your city doctor tell you
was your ailment?"
"He said It was nostalgia."
"H'mph! Do you know what nostal

"No, sir."

Pain uil Vnyn.
Barry Pain relates that ho once sent
the late James l'ayu a series of parodies
for Conihill. Payn acoepted them, but
thero was a difficulty. Ono of them was
a parody of nn author, X., who was a
personal frieud of Pnyn's and a very
sensitive man, who would not take tho
sincerest form of flattery in tho spirit
in which it was offered. Now, it hap
pens that thero is a considerable resem
blance between the style of X. and that
of another author of the sumo school, Y,
Payn suggested that Pain should tnke
out X. 's mime from the title of the paro
dy and substitute that of the school of
fiction to which be belonged. "Then,"
he said, "X will think that it's mean
for Y."
"But, " Pain asked, "what about Y.?"
"That's all right," he answered.
"Y. will know that it's meant for X."
A Haunted Railroad Car.
Every one has heard of haunted houses,
but the railroad men know there are
haunted cars as well For instance, on
the L. and X. there is a caboose known
as "1908" which carries on in the most
supernatural manner. What do you say
to a caboose that suddenly begins to
shake and shiver like a man with the
ague, and this, too, when it is standing
alone on the track? My informant sol
emnly asserted also that "1908" is sub
ject to attacks of hysteria. It jumps up
and down without the slightest provo
cation. Ho says it did the most remark
ablo thing, however, one day near Rich
mond. It was standing on a siding with
all brakes set. All at once it started and
ran up grado, over an embankment into
a field. Paris (Ky. ) Reporter.
Dr. Mary Walker Bits Like a Woman.
The ex-tuoen of Huwaii, surrounded
by hor court, was engaged in earnest
conversation with Dr. Mary Walkor.
The little doctor was noatand spick and
span from the collar of her Prince Al
bert coat to the soles of hor little, boots.
She was dressed like a mun. She wore
no petticoats, but the serpent trail of
the petticoats her foremotiiers wore is
over her still, for all the evening she
sat with her knees close together. She
wears trousers, but the inherited re
straint of the petticoats binds her knees.
She may dress like a man, but she'll al
ways sit as women sit Washington

Benefit of a King's Favor.
Not long ago his majesty of Shun
gave an Italian (for painting one of his
wives from a photograph) "the grand
cross of the Siamese crown." It is a
rather largo order. "This cross," said
his majesty graciously, "will entitle
you to marry 19 wives. It is a distinc
tion I seldom confer, so I hope you will
make good use of it " Siaui Observer.
