Recent Events From Overseas Powerful New Explosive London. â€" Liquid oxygen provides (he kick of a new explosive cartridge whieb, it is claimed, is cheaper, safer ud more powerful than dynamite. The cartridge looks like a big cigar- ette. It is a foot long and two inches In diameter. It contains sawdust, 'leaked in liquid oxygen. It is then placed in the hole bored in the mine where rocks are to be blown away, and fired electrically. A. single cartridge will break down more than four tons of rock. It costs twopence compared with several shill- ings for an ordinary explosive charge. After three-quarters of an hour, when the oxygen has evaporated, it ceases to be an explosive. This elimin- ates the greatest danger from explo- tives found in mines. The old method .was to place a charge in a bore hole. It it is not fired at once it is forgotten. After some time â€" evea years â€" ^that working is used again. A miner hits the forgotten charge with his pick. There is an explosion, whch ras^ re- cult in men being killed or injured. ' After the new cartridge has been aoaked it can be thrown about, drop- I»ed, or left anywhere with safety. I After an ordinary explosive has been fired the working has to be left iklone for a time because of poisonous ^mes liberated by tlie explosion. This wastes time, as. to work can be done. With liquid oxygen there are no fumes, and -Vork can be resumed im- mediately after the detonation. There is no danger of an unexpected explosion as with dynamite. The great feature of dynamite was that it \i&s the only explosive that ftruek downwards. But liquid oxygen has this property. First Illness at 107 Croydon. â€" England's oldest woman, Mrs. Caroline Merriot, who was 107 Jast October, has Just recovered from the first serious illness she has ever suffered. When she entered hospital here, she insisted on having a pint of hot tea every morning and with its ^elp she is again back on her feet. Needed Wife For Jbb Loudon. â€" Most men look for a job before their weddings. But in North London a man has been looking for a wedding before getting a lob. He is W. T. Thorne. an assistant at the Wood Green baths who was of- fered the position of baths superin- tendent at Romford. Essex, provided he w^as married. Mr. Thorne. who is a widower, e.v plained the situation to Miss P. M. Perry, an auburn-haired cashier at the M'ood Green baths. "I placed the whole position before her. and she agreed to mairy me,'' he •aid. "The Romford authorities are satisfied that she will be suitable tor the duties at the baths wliich will fall to her as my wife." So he got the job â€" and a bride. But he was nearly disqualifled at the finishing post when his bride-to-be was in a bad motor car smash-up a tew hours before the wedding. For- tunately she suffered no more than thook and, athough still feeling a lit- tle unsteady on arrival at the register office, went through with the m.arriage ceremony as planned. Perfect Choir in Three Days Hull. â€" Sixty people who have lU'ViT BABY S OWN SOAPv rcu seen each other before will meet on the platform of Victoria station, Lon- don, on August 5, on their way to Jugoslavia to uphold the prestige of British choirs with madrigals, folk songs, and sea shanties. They will not rehearse together till they reach Venice â€" and then they will sing in their hotel. They will sail down the Adriatic, re- hearsing on the deck of their ship, and when they reach Spalato, three days later, they will be a perfect choir. The singers have been selected from choral societies from all parts of Bri- tain, and the leader will be Norman Strafford, conductor of the Hull Choral Union. Postie Wears Skis Dungeness. â€" Here at Dungeness. within SO miles of London, there is a postman who goes his round on "skis." He wears them to cross the stony reaches to the lighthouse where he de- livers His Majesty's mails to the keep- er. The skis are really wooden "back stays." about a foot and a half long and eight inches wide. Nails Match Dresses Paris. â€" A short time ago the tyrants of Paris fashions decreed that women were to wear detachable finger nails. The idea was to have tinted nails to match their evening gowns. Mounted on miniature metal frames and fitted with tiny clasps, these could be changed as easily as the dresses. Manicurists at first expressed great fear that the new fashion would spoil their trade. Now they are reassured by the news that their services will be in demand as much as ever because, unless the real nails are very careful- ly tended, the artificial ones will not i St. j Golden and silver nails are already ] being produced. Those women who I prefer a little splash of color will be] able to buy them in turquoise, jade or j amber hues. Some may even like to equip themselves with a differently tinted nail for each finger. Coin Brings Radio's Best Leipzig. Germany. â€" By dropping a coin in the slot of a radio set. you can listen in on a broadcast for 15 minutes from any station. A thorough trial has been made of these radio slot vendors at the Leipsiz Fair. Since Leipzig Is at the geographical centre of Europe, it was found possible to pick up stations from nearly a score of different countries in as many languages. Old Druggist Sound Builder Berlin. â€" Berlin't oldest drug store, and one of the oldest in Europe, re- cently celebrated its 275th anniver- sary. Among its famous customers have been "Bismarck, "The Iron Chancellor''; Theodore Fontaine, and the well- i knowfi poet, Wilhelm Raabe. while its i present-day clients include Dr. Schacht.j president of the Reichsbauk. among j other well-known persocalities. The shop is the "Einhorn Apo- theke," in the heart of the old city, j Through its almost 300 years of his- â-  tory it has changed little in appear- ; auoe.

The drug store is well known, es- ' pecially by the negro medicine men in Africa, who buy from It. They ask chiefly for mistic medicaments. Rome Noisy As Chicago | Rome. â€" Rome now enjoys the un- enviable distinction of ranking among the noisiest cities in Europe; in fact. some Ticiims assert that it is as bad •8 Chicago. Some prominent citizenb are trying to start a. movement where- by motorists, the arch offenders, may be traiued not to hoot at every street corner and not to play tunes on their klaxons between midnight ^d six is the morning. They contend that by-laws to ensure comparative quiet are not being e» forced. They plan a deputation to the governor of the city, urging him to punish the worst offenders â€" the drivers of city omnibuses, the property ot the local government. Artist.a and those who live in their particular quarter are wondering where they come in. for their old-fas- hioned streets and verdant courtyards are the happy hunting ground of cats. Since Trajan's Forum has been en- tirely excavated, the cat colony which found homes in it have been evicted and have settled in the artists' quar- ters, where they roam at will, making noises which are quite as bad as the motorists. There appears to be no by- law, however, to stop this nuisance. Elephants Nuisance to Farms Nairobi. Kenya. South Africa. â€" .More than 500 elephants have been killed by half a dozen white hunters within six months. The hunters were employed by the Government of Uganda to protect na- tive plantations and gardens, particu- ularly in the Toro district. They paid to the Treasury 30 shillings per tusk, and were allowed to keep all tusks be- tween 7 and 20 pounds in weight. Any tusk weighing more than 25 pounds was handed to the Government. Rail Police Dogs Harbin.â€" The South Manchuria Rail- way is planning to triple its pack of police dogs which now number 103 animals used for detecting train thieves. The police dogs have render- ed excellent service. Forty-four of the animals are less than a year old, thirty-five six months old and twenty- nine under six months.

C, Dawn Notes of Birds Encircle Globe in Song Glanton, Northumberland, Eng. â€" Mr. Noble Rollin, the warden of the bird station here, assisted by amateur ornithologists in many parts of the world, is eiigafod in the task of rVi.Trt- iJig the dii^.'n song of the bird-f all over the globe. For over a year he has been work- ing on his theory that the dawn song of the birds encircles the globe in a great wave of wild music which never ceases. Amateur enthusiasts are mail- ing him reports which will enable him, he hopes, to draw up a chart, timing the song of each species of bird. "You must go away and forget me." "I can't.

Chinese to Elrect Huge Movable Dam Novel Method Used in Great Project to Control Hueii River Shanghai. â€" The first stages of one of the largest constructive projects ever undertaken by a Chinese Govern- ment are scheduled for completion this month. The Huai River irrigation and flood prevention project, started last December, is expected to open up 12,000,000,000 acres of land in the very heart of China proper, and control a river which has caused disastrous floods and famines continuously since the fourteenth century. The project now started by a Nan- king commission, after more than 20 years ot unfruitful discussion, will e completed in stages as rapidly as funds are available. The first stage is excavation of the Changfu River. The next, to begin this summer, is a mov- able dam at Chingpu, Honan. The Huai River rises in the hills of Honan, and originally emptied into the Yellow Sea. But in the fourteenth century the Yellow River shifted its bed several hundred miles southward, usurped the lower bed of the Huai River, and forced the Huai to seek an outlet elsewhere. Its flow since that time has been completely upset, so that it empties in helter-skelter fas- hion through a series of lakes and the Grand Canal intD the Y'^augtse River, causing floods in unexpected parts of Honan, Anhwei and Kiangsu Pro- vinces. After a particularly disastrous flood in the Huai basin, an American Red Cross engineering commission came to China in 1914, and recommended that a $20,000,000 (gold) loan be raised to excavate a suitable basin for the Huai River. To this the Chinese Govern- ment agreed, but the European war soon broke out, and the loan was never raised. Surveys made at that time and later, however, showed be- yond doubt that recurrent floods and famines in the Huai basin were pre- ventable, and that an irrigation and flood prevention project could open up enough land to make it profitable. However, no Chinese Government had funds available to begin the project. The present Government at Nanking has taken up the project seriously again. At Nanking's request, the League of Nations sent three experts, one French, one British, one German, to survey the Huai River. They car- ried out the survey in spite of the Sino-Japanese conflict at Shanghai, lecommending a project by which the Huai River can be controlled at mini- mum cost. The first stage of a project based upon these recommend.itions was started last Decembar. The project calls for excavation of a number of lakes, rivers and canals, for reconstruction of seven locks in the Grand Canal suitable for ships up to 900 tons, for an extensive dike sys- tem through the flat country traversed by the river. It has been arranged in stages, which may be completed as funds are available. Residents ot the Huai basin are showing a keen interest in the work, and most of the financing thus far has been done locally.
