Explosives are, therefore, tabloid en- ergy or power, and it is a Just remin- der of the fact that seine substances are explosive generally, Whereas quite a. number of common things may be made explosive by some partieular kind of treatment. When water boils tin the fire there is no explosion as it I s ehanged into steam, but if the .seout were sealed and the whole of 110 water could ba changed into -steam in a second there would be an explosien, And the instance is good beeauee it is really a kitchen model of • voleano. Moreover, steam guns were used in America in the sixties, The essential idea of an explosive le then the violent release of zome pent-up thing; just the opposite, from this stanclenint. of the cataeult, wh'ch works by allowing a distended thing -- the elastic—to contract euddenlY, whereas all explosives release a com- pressed thing. The release gives rise to an air wave, and this, of course, is experiences as a sound. It is the sound which hi popularly called an explosion. Now, it has been said that an ex- Plinden te a tabloie force, power, en- ergy. How is it made available. It is nosy to follow the mechanism of an explosive further. Explosives, as com- monly used are solid substances, which by burning produced almost in- stantaneously au extraordinary large lolume of gases. The heat and pres- sure or a blow caused the burning to start, and the burning also produoes leeat, which, acting upon the gases. increnees the volume still further. It tnay be suggested that Were is no ob- alous reason why even a sudden and enormous•expanslon should cause the damage of an explosion. And the euggestion is quite just. It is only when they are confined that the explosives are really danger- ous. Gunpowder burned in the open merelycauses a noise like "pouf" and hurne quickly. Guncotton may be burned on the hand—it. is not to be recommended as a fashionable hobby —without any serious inconvenience. Indeed, gunpowder was first used as on incendiary composition. But a firewark or a gun charged with gun- powder will explode with a loud re- vert and may cause fatal wounds. Gunpowder is the best known explo- 'eve mixture. It is made from the commonest ingredients—carbon, sul- phur and saltpeter. There are several I modifications of gunpowder, other nitrates being substituted for the salt-! peter—potassium nitrates. The nitrates give the oxygen to the•mixture, with- out which it would not burn at an, other explosive mixtures containing ehlore.tes which have the same amount ;f • 'gsaltpeter and the til - (rates. The different powders are - waled in different circumetances where a more violent or slower or a safe ex..' plosive is required, for it is not al- ' ways the same effect which mee asks from an explosive. Velocity may at times be sacrificed, say, in favor of It higher weight of common shell Gun- • powder is a "low" explosive. 11$ ex..; plosion is slow, and ite effect is loSS violently disruptive.

So her state of mind was very disturbing, and her most disquieting thoughts were of Jocelin, She was be- ginning to believe that the handsome monk felt mor rml tow dher than was compatible with his avows; and while her girlish vanity was flat- tered, ehe was annoyed; tor though she was interested in Senna (with a far different feeling from the tender regard in which she held the nieltiorY of Henry of Leicester), she was repella ed at the thought that a monk loved her.

It was in October last year that thirty-three ot these colonists subscribed *502,10 to the Patriotic Fund, each farmer givieg a certain number of bushels of green, which when sold amounted to the above sum.

Pale, for the pest excitement told up- on her, Besides, the witch's "'Ware the black robe" kept sounding in her ears. So her state of mind was very disturbing, and her most disquieting thoughts were of Jocelin, She was be- ginning to believe that the handsome monk felt mor rml tow dher than was compatible with his avows; and while her girlish vanity was flat- tered, ehe was annoyed; tor though she was interested in Senna (with a far different feeling from the tender regard in which she held the nieltiorY of Henry of Leicester), she was repella ed at the thought that a monk loved her.

The Hollow. in a Boiled Egg, There is an air space in every egg, but we notice it particularly in a boil- ed one because the contents have been made solid by eooking and made the hollow space more apparent. This space is a, provision of nature so that the chicle whice grows withinsthe shell may have air to breathe from the time it comes to life until it becomes strong enough to break througli the shell to the outside world. To generate life in the egg it is nec- essary that it be subjected to a certain degress of heat for a period of twenty- one days. When this is not done the egg remains indefinitely in its raw When it is boiled the pocket of air within theshell, which would havo been used up by the chick if the egg had been set to batch, begins to fight for its epees and pushes the boiled contents of the egg back, leaving the hollow space.—Rocky Mountain News.
