The Germnn military authorities are
experimenting with a new explosive
which its inventors claim is destined to
supersede gunpowder. The explosive

a shock does not set it off. float to a

scarcoly uny smoke and but little sound
accompanies the explosion. When in

[ the past two or three years are pro
vided with automatic switch-boards,
fashioned not unlike the old-time

ated on the same principle. This is
placed in the second story of the
switch-house, where a view can be
had of ail approaches.
A Libor-navlng Device.
Sitting before a long table contain
ing a row of numbered levers one Diac
controls the switches that lot al!
trains in and out of the yards at the
Btation. This is regarded as a labor
saving device by the railroad com
panics, and, though it costs more tc
operate, it dispenses with the ser
vices of six or seven switch tenders,
placing the responsibility in th<
hands of two men and reducing th<
possibility of accident. Attheoldei
stations the old-time manner of man
aging the yards is still in vogue, and
absolute dependence is placed upon
the switchmen, who must throw the
switches, make the couplings, and be
responsible for the safety of all cars
arriving or leaving the yards.
One of the most important duties
Is that of examining the condition
of cars while making up trains, and
reporting any defect. A weak or im
perfect coupling is sure to make
trouble, and a single accident may
mean serious loss to many patrons oi
(WITCH-DOUSE.
the road or a disturbance in the com
mercial world.
From 7 o'clock at night to 0 o'clock
in the morning Is the busiest time in
the yard. Then they are making up
the trains for the next day. All
night long the engines puff and sput
ter and throw myriads of sparks from
their stacks, dropping a car here and
one there, like the mail clerk distrib
uting letters, until the engines stand
alone exhausting steam as if tired
out with work.
A Perilous l,lfe.
At night, ton, the switchmen must
be more careful. They must be ever
on the watch lest a misstep throw
them in the way of a moving car, re
sulting in the loss of a limb or, what
is still more serious, life. Of the
28,000 employes killed and injured on
the railroads the past year, fully one
third met with the accident while
coupling or uncoupling cars." Statis
tics show that one man in every
thirty who follows railroading meets
with an accident, and the chances are
about equal when one does occur that
the unfortunate is a switchman.
In a law recently passed by the
Legislature compelling railroads to
equip their rolling stock with auto
matic brakei and couplers, the
switchmen have some hope of light
ening their labors and removing the
possibility of accident. This will
also tend to reduce the rates of insur
ance, a SSOO policy being the most any
company will take, and for which they
charge the extortionate premium of
$37.
An eng'nccr, firemen, foreman, and
two helpers constitute a switch crew,
unless there Is a grade, In which case
two extra helpers arc carried. When
hired by the month they receive a
salary of from $45 to $55, ten hours
constituting a day, though they not
infrequently work extra time when
trains are late or the yards blocked.
No regular hour is set for dinner and
they are compelled to eat at odd mo
ments wherever they happen to be.
These irregular hours and extra
pay for overtime are the causoof the
switchmen advocating a scale fixing
the pay by the hour at the rate of
twenty-flvo cents for day men and
twenty-seven cents for night workers.
Those who remain any length of
time at this employment do so be
cause they can hope for promotion
when occasion offers, or because they
can find nothing better. This leads
to a constant change of employes,
which explains why the foreign ele
ment predominates, and why there Is
often more or less friction In their
clans.
The Artfulness of the Ant.
Like many other insects, the ant Is
very fond of sugar, to obtain which
it employs a skill that is almost in
credible. An observer thought ho had
protected his sugar basin from the
attentions of a number of ants by
placing it in the center of a vessel
full of water. To his amazement,
however, he found that they got at
the sugar by climing up the wall of
the room to the part of the ceiling
that was just over the ceiling. From
this point they allowed themselves tc
fall down among the sugar. Several
that were carried by the draught
pa3t the bowl fell into the surround
ing water, and would all have been
drowned but for the efforts of theii
mates, who succeeded in rescuing
some of them. Tl}o truth of this
singular occurrence is vouched for by
the witnesses of it.

She had just burned her arm on the
oven door and her desultory remarks
were yet echoing through the humble
yet comfortable cottage, when the man
with grizzled whiskers and an air of
self-repression knocked at the door.
When she appeared at the threshold
he fell upon her neck.
"After all these years, after all these
years," he sobbed.
The lines in her forehead deepened,
but she was silent.
"Can you—"
Seizing her yielding hand ho
directed a burning glance into her eyes.
" —forgive me for leaving you,
Mary ?"
A sigh agitated her bosom.
"Yes," she answered, "I had for
given you for that."
"Mary."
The joy that shone from his face Was
a corker.
"But—"
She contemplated him in a weary
way.
" —I don't see why you couldn't lot
it go at that. I don't believe I can bo

He perceived the necessity of a great
sacrifice on his part, and went forth
into the woodshed and plied the ax.—

NOT "LOOKING FOR- A LADLE.
Not many years ago, before tho
"boom" struck Southern California,
Mr. L—, an old New Yorker, had a
large ranch near Los Angeles. He was
fond of good company and a good din
ner and frequently entertained house
parties at tho comfortable, old-fash
ioned Mexican Hacienda. Among
others who made a stay with one of the
New York parties was Miss M—. Al
though a woman of "uncertain age"
she retained much charm of manner,
and her quick wit was respected by
every one who had come in contact
with it. Mr. L- - was a jolly bachelor
of perhaps forty summers, who had
seen much of the world, and had a
magnetic personality. He was a man
of enormous proportions; some of
them, no doubt, encouraged to their
growth through his fondness of good
things to eat.
The party was at dinner at the ranch
one day. The host, the bachelor, sqt
at one end of the table and Miss M—
was on his left. He had been chatting
with her for some time when she asked
for a spoon. Mr. L— arose at this and
bowing in his most suave and polite
way, said:
"My dear Miss—, won't you tako
me?"
"Mr. L—," retorted tho lady, "I
did not ask for a ladle.—New York

Artificial Diamonds-.
At last one of the eminent chomists
belonging to the French Academy of
Sciences has been successful in artifi
cially producing genuine diamonds.
The lucky discoverer is M. Henri Mois
san. Several of his associates have
been experimenting in this direction
for years, and black crystals of pure
carbon were produced some months
; ago, but M. Moissan's achievement is
a production of perfect crystals equal
in purity to the diamonds found in the
mines of Africa. To bo sure, the crys
tals are very small, and it may be that
tho production of diamonds large
enough to be of serious importance to
the world of commerce in jewelry is
| still very far off, but the fact that so
much has been done will undoubtedly
I set dozens of chemists to experiment
ing in other parts of the world, and it
may be that in time artificial diamonds
will be produced galore.
The ancient philosophers tried the
philosopher's stone, the test of which
r was to be that it should turn to gold
that which it touched of certain baser
metals. But diamonds are much high
er in value than gold, and there is a
sense in which this is a greater triumph
than the discovery of the philosopher's
stono would have been. But, after
all, the value of alleged valuable
things are mostly only relative. When
diamonds get to be so plentiful that
everybody can have them in his shirt
front very few people will want them.
This would have been equally true of
gold if the philosopher's stone had ever
transmuted copper of lead into that
precious metal. —New York Press.
Giant IV.lms of Cayenne.
The most interesting thing in Ca
yenne is the Place des Palmistes, or
grove of palm trees—a square wherein
perhaps five hundred cabbage palms,
averaging ninety feet in height, are
planted in lines about twenty feet
apart, and the same distance from each
other in three rows. They are like
half a dozen of tlio world-renowned
palm avenues of Bio Janerio's botani
cal gardens massed together—stately
Titanic halls or Egyptian temples, with
enormous round gray pillars, smooth
as marble and straight as arrows, up
holding massive arches of glossy dark
green verdure. One never tires of
walking in these giant aisles, of gazing
upward at the verdant roof which
trembles and whispers with every pass
ing breeze, but wonder and admira
tion grow with each succeeding visit;.
