SMOKELESS POWDER
CarloMltlcN of the Exploitive Tlint Ke
ucinblca Wnx and Beadfi
What Is this smokeless powder It
Is the modern high explosive which has
superseded the old style black powder
even as electricity has superseded gas
and which is used not only in the field
for sporting purposes but Is used ex
clusively for the shoulder arms of the
army and the navy as well as for the
machine guns the rapid fire guns and
the huge rifles on the decks of our bat
tleships and within the works of our
fortifications Practically it is nothing
but a mixture of gun cotton and alcohol
and ether or acetone or else acetone
with gun cotton and nitroglycerin the
two strongest explosives known and
blended Into a new compound which Is
at least double as strong as the com
mon black powder explodes without
giving off smoke and once finished
not merely loses the dangerous char
acteristics of its dreaded ingredients
but is so safe that you might -give a
hatful of the powder to a baby to play
with lie might pound it with a uan
mer to his hearts content or you your
self might place it on an anvil and
bring a forty pound sledge down on It
It would merely squash like so much
soap or putty So commission proof is
fthis powder that you might drop a
house on a heap of fifty tons of it and
it would not explode So proof is it
against explosion by fire that you
might place a stick of cannon po ier
on a saucer in your bedroom r t it
with a match and go to bed by a dick
ering sizzling light as if given off by
burning fat In short you simply can
not explode this powder unless you go
to the trouble of confining it and even
then you can explode it only by using
a fulminate of mercury detonator
The quickest way to picture smoke
less powder is to dismiss all ideas of
the ordinary black gunpowder so fa
miliar to every one The color of the
modern powder is not black at all but
has the shade of dark amber In the
sense of a powder being finely divided
solid smokeless powder is no powder
at all It consists of a waxlike com
position the size of the grains vary
ing according to the calibers of the
guns for which they are designed For
use in revolvers rifles and sporting
guns the grains resemble the tiny per
forated glass beads of the sort used
in old time needlework For the machine-guns
the rapid fire guns the
heavy rifles of battleships and forts the
grains are cylindrical in shape vary
ing in size from a third of an inch to
three fourths of an inch in length to
three fourths of an inch in diameter
and about two inches in length each
grain in order to increase the area ex
posed to ignition being perforated
equidistantly and longitudinally with
from one to six holes big as knitting
needles depending upon the size of the
grain A Y Rolker in Appletons
A Hasty Judgment
He sat sunning himself at the door of
his curio shop A crumpled evening pa
per lay on his knee and he peered
fiercely at it through thick horn spec
tacles of a kind usually seen in pic
tures of village pedagogues A thin
young man with a flushed face sham
bled across the street and stood before
him Could yer giv said the thin
young man Down fell the paper and
the old fellow began to lecture the ap
pealing young man Youve come to
the wrong shop he said Why you
oughter give me summat instead of me
you Ere I sits all day and sometimes
I dont take a copper before I put the
shutters up But its alius the same in

Diplomatic Silence
When Franklin arrived in France he
was somewhat astonished at the lux
ury noise and bustle of the court of
Versailles The courtiers who are by
nature effervescent and volatile made
much ado over him He was himself
inclined to be taciturn Vergennes
the French minister of foreign affairs
also was of a reserved circumspect
uncommunicative nature
The introducer having presented
Franklin withdrew The two states
men left alone bowed to each other
Vergennes with a gesture invited
Franklin to be seated and then wait
ed Franklin however said net a
word Possibly he wished to put his
companions gravity to the test the
French had always been pictured to
him as so loquacious
The French minister felt that he was
on the verge of overstepping the rules
of courtesy and hospitality He there
fore took out his snuffbox and invited
Franklin to take a pinch of snuff
Franklin complied reflected an in
stant and took his snuff in silence
Vergennes on his part did the same
and then the compliment was return
ed After a brief flash of silence
Franklin Tose so did Vergennes
thereupon after a farewell obeisance
they parted This was the entire sum
and substance of their first interview
which happiiy was to he followed by
thers of a more fruitful character
