On entreing the building where the DOWder is be- mg turned out, all matches, pipes, and any steel instruments have to be given up, and special boots have to be put on to prevent any grit reaching the soft leather floor of the buildings. Nitroâ€"giycerine itself is an almost colorless liquid, and so careful are the men who handle it, that if a single drOps falls on the leaden floor it is at once wiped up with a damp rag, All the water that comes from this underground building is carefully drained into a neighboring pond, and every week this is blown up by dynah mite on account or the dangerous ex- plosive matter contained in it. The nitro-glycerine store is a most extraordinary building, buried liter- ally under a mound and reached by a brie-lined passage threugh the earth. Cordite is another dangerous explo. sive, more so during its manufacture than after. Easy as it is to handle in its final form it is a favorite explosive with anarchists and bomb-throwers. It is made from a mixture of nitro glycerine, gun-cotton, and vaseline. On the outside of the wrapping of frozen dynamite feathery crystals gather. These crystals are called “whiskers.” and they are more “irri- table” than dynamite itself. So touchy are they that anybody treading heavily near them is sufficient to set them olf by concussion. The Great Precautions that Have tc be Taken by Workmen In all the world’s history, however. there is no more startling instance of ingratitude and forgetfulness than the history of Henry Cort, a native o: Gosport. He expended the whole of his private fortune of $100,000 in per- fecting his inventions for puddling iron and rolling it into bars and plates. Then he was robbed of the fruits of his toil by the villainy of certain Gov- ernment officials, and in the end left to starve. This was in 1784. Since that day Cort’s inventions have con- ferred upon Great Britain an amount of wealth equivalent to $3,500,000.000, and given constant employment to about 600,000 workmen for the past four generations. When Harvey Kennedy introduced the shoe-lace he made $2,500,000. and Mr. Plimpton, the inventor of the roller-skate, made a similar fortune out of his idea. Probably our readers will remember a legal action which too kplace some years ago, when in the course of the evidence itt rans- pired that the inventor of the metal plates used for protecting the soles and heels of shoes from wear soild 12,000,000 plates in 1879, and in 18:57 the number reached a total of 143,- 000,000, which realized profits of $1,150,000 for the year. Badly Rewarded But the inventor does not always reap such magnificent rewards for his genius. Take the case of Mr. J. Longridge, the famous engineer who invented the wire-wound gun. for in- stance. Longridge invented the gun in 1854, and did all in his power to piace it,before the authorities, but they would have nothing to do with it. Thirt yyears afterwards, however, the Ordnance Department at Wool wtch, subjected one of the guns to ex- haustive tests, and so satisfactory were the results that they declared that nothing could equal it for heavy ordnance. Unfortunately, the inven. tor died from a broken heart before this end was attained. Simple toys, puzzles, and games, have often proved such a success as to put thousands of dollars into the pock- ets of their inventors. The man Who invented the tin rattle for babies re- tired with a quarter of a million of money. while the man who thought out the idea of the returning ball, which consisted of an ordinary rub- ber or wooden ball to which was at- tached a long elastic cord. profited to the extent or $50,000 per annum. The flying ton had a rush of popularity which enabled its inventor to live in the lap of luxury for the remainder of his life, while the once pOpular toy known as “Dancing Jim Crow” is said to have yielded its patentee an annual income of upwards of $75,000. Inventor of Roller Skates It is not so many years ago that everyone laboriously laced his own boots from the lowest hole to the tOp. There was none of that lightning crossing of the laces into the neat little hooks with which the modern laceboot is provided. The inventor of the boot-hook, H. A. Snipp, sold his patent outright for the sum of $250. and the purchasers are said to have made $1,250,000 out of the idea.

The person- nel of the syndicate was composed of pensioned ushers and other petty officials attached to the courts. This organization devotes itself to provid- ing, at reasonable charges, witnesses for the services of litigants who ar- rive at court insufficiently provided with testimony. The society’s agents are to be found outside the doors of all branches of the judicature, includ- ing those dealing with divorce and Chancery cases, and by reason of the extensive experience of its members. gained by long service in official posts of trust, it is able to supply any class of evidence desired,’ not as un- intelligent perjury, but in a form' apprOpriate to the usual preference of the particular judge detailed to try; the case.

L.._â€"- Men Who Manufactured Evidence for Use in Constantinople Strength lies in character. Deceit is weakness; sham and pretence are enfeebling. Only the genuine and sincere are worth while. Be true to yourself always; then there will be no looking back or turning away to avoid the searching glance of those who are really true.-â€"-Home Compan- ion. If you do not trust yourself, you will be unable to look the world in the face. You will “shuffle” ‘out of things, and in time will become so sly that your whole moral being will be besmirched. If there is a mote in your eye, set about trying to remove it. Don’t fence with it, end try to deceive yourself that it is not there. Other peOple see it, if you don’t. If there is a continual struggle go- ing on inside you as to whether you are really honest with yourself or not, be sure that there is something wrong. Endeavor to eradicate this. Nothing adds so much to one’s per- sonal power as the knowledge thai one is absolutely sincere. If your life is a perpetual sham and deceit, if you know that you are not what you pretend to be, you cannot be strong or exercise any real in- fluence. Others will find you out. There was a story told in a Liver- pool court some time ago to an Amer- ican passenger on one of the liners who distributed over $35 in tips, and then took it back because he said he was badgered for more. There is cer- tainly no compulsion to tip, and the rule with most companies is that the steward who solicits fees renders himself liable to instant dismissal. A judicious tip, however, adds much to the pleasure of a voyage, and the bedroom stewards are usually very lucky. Each has about twelve tas- sengers to loo kafter, most of \vh m tip with sums ranging from $3 to $6. Strength Lies in Some of the Stewards Make Big Money from Passengers * To tip or not to tip? That is the question which is agitating the minds at the prest time of tourists between Europe and America. And it would certainly seem that travellers have Upon an Atlantic liner one pays at least $10 in tips after a seven days journey. This is made up as follows: Bedroom steward, $2.50; table stew- ard, $2.50; deck steward, $1.25; boots, $1.25; library steward, $1.25; smok- ing-room steward, $1.25. That is the average man’s scale. Passengers oc- cupying expensive suites of rooms )r‘ten give five times as much. u Indeed, there is no limit to the amount of money which a steward who has a knack of making himself useful to passengers can annex. Two hundred or three hundred dollars a voyage is often made by first-class stewards, and one of them did so well that he not only purchased a big house out of his savings, but sent his sons to ore of the leading colleges.
