Steacy was asked as to the habits of the jhorse. In commenting on the ani- ma] Capt. Steacy said: "Horse No. {21 called Carrot is a small black horse standing fifteen hands high. It | is quiet, easily groomed and is con- sidered an' excellent horse for in structional purposes, the reason be- [ing that it had a very rough action { which naturally teaches a man the | knee grip so essential for a good rid- jer. It has no bad hahits except that it is inclined to be a slug and TAIN behind in the ride." | Capt. T. D. J. Ringwood, gunnery { instructor, said he did not care to give out a statement, beyond saying | that the horse was good for instruc. i tional purposes. . -- G. E.

R. Meek introduced Lieut. Simons who expressed delight at the welcome and the pleasure af-| forded to see Kipgston. He was humorous in his references to the use of slang by Canadians. It was | new to Australians to hearrof graft and persons being "out of = sight." The peculiar Australian yell was con- | vincing in the diymissal. At Vietor- | ia school J.

He cor-| dially reciprocated the greeting and| told how beautifully the maple jeaf! and wattle blossom, were entwined. The children sang and cheered' for the visitors. ) At Queen's, Principal Gordop was Happy in his welcome.

Australia and South Africa had. adopted it. Then the economic politics of Sir John Mac donald were wide world in applica jon and would yet manifest them selves in an inter-reciprocity with all the elements of the Great Britis} Empire. Lieut. Simons spoke oP the peculi- arities of climate and language and was decidedly amusing as he told stories of the oddities of Canadians.

When Dry Explosive May Be Burned In the Hand Without Harm. If some one should place a wad of guncotton on the palm of your hand and threaten to touch it off with a lighted match you would be frighten- ed. Yet you need not be, for, al- though guncotton is one of the most powerful of ordinary explosives, it would not hurt you. When dry guncotton is exposed to the air it does not explod¢ when ig- nited, but burns with great rapidity. So rapidly does the burning take place that if a loose wad of the ma~ terial be held in the band and touch- ed with fire there is a sudden flash, and an instant later not a trace of smoke or a mark on the hand re- of a gun. When dry, however, guncotton can be made to explode with great vio- lence by being struck sharply bee as such an explosion is called, is burning. It seems tp consist in the instantaneous disintegration of the molecules of the exploding substange. it is as though all the bricks in a great building were in a fraction of a second to be scattered about the city. When moistened sufficiently with water guncotton is not affected either by fire or blows. In this state it can be compressed, mashed to a pulp or worked into various shapes without danger. wet guncotton detonate. On this account wet guncotton has been made use of in blasting. Guncotton is a mixture of various nitrates formed when clean dry cot- ton is treated with strong nitric acid (and, for most ps with sul- phuric acid also). If the product has say, if little nitric acid be used in the making--it may be partially dissolv- ed by certain esters, such as acetone, ethylacetate or a mixture of ether and alcohol. particularly well fitted to use in a gun on account of the saving of space.

The main feature of the evening was the Fa- mous Players picture of George Faw- cett, supported by an all-star com- { pany, in "The Majesty of the Law." § The other pictures were a three-reel J Universal photo-play featuring Cleo Madison, "The Faith of Her Fath- ers," a comedy picture, "When He Proposed," and. the Pathe News {showing some interesting scenes of the war. The vaudeville part of the entér- tainment was good. Miss Juanita Fletcher, who has become a great fa- vorite in Kingston, again received a | warm reception from the large audi- | ence. {the Old Flag Fall" was thoroughly | enjoyed and received much applause. {The Two Vagabonds" in a singing and musical act also made a big hit. | Both aré expert musicians, and play- | ed several selections on an accordian and guitar, which pleased the audi- {ence highly. The other artist, Pan- | { ther, in an Indian novelty act, also | was good. This same bill will be {shown to-night for the last time this week. "The White Feather." To-morrow afternoon and evening ! has been marked off the theatrical | calendar for the presentation at the {Grand Opera House of the big suc- cess, "The White Feather." It shows a vivid conflict of resourceful- | ness between the British War Office and members of the German secret | service, who are seeking to foster a coast raid by submarines. The ef- forts to thwart this contemplated at- | tack are conducted along novel lines, {and one or the other of the contend- {ing players in the desperately risky game is momentarily almost within reach of his desired goal, and dra- matic climaxes of unusual strength are developed. An all English com- {pany of players has been specially brought over. This is not a mov- ing picture. At the Strand. Large and delighted audiences | greeted the presentation of the four- | part photo play, "The Woman Who Lied," the master film in which love- | {ly Mary Fuller, assisted by Milton Sills and Paul Pauzer, is appearing in at the Strand Theatre.
