Roger llMoon traveled aul studied
much and made continual experiments
In his laboratory to prote for himself
and to develop lt he learned from
others. He probably saw gunpowder
among the Moors In Spain and tried for
himself ita explosive effeet. Then he
wrote of ita composition in the year
1267, and In his wilting suggested that
it could be used In engines of war
to deal death and destruction to armies
of men.
Soon after Roger Haoon's time his
uggeetlona were taken up and guns
were constructed first by binding Iron
bars together with hoops to form a
tube, then by casting a tube out of
braes, with one end closed. Stone of
' aultable alxe were selected aa shot and
the powder had to be carried around In
chests or barrels and shoveled Into
the munlos of the guna. In spite of
these drawbacks very large guna were
built, for there waa one used by Mo
hammed II. against the Greeks at the
lege of Constantinople in 1453 which
threw a atone weighing 600 pounds a
distance of one mile.

from breakfast to dinner, both of
which meals I force myself, if the incli

fasting succumb easily to the effects
of heat, but, on the other hand, hot
meals In the middle of the day for one

GOOD MANNERS IN 1028.

What la probably one of the oldest
books on deportment In existence waa
discovered In Parla the other day. aaya
an exchange It waa published In that
city in l&a for the college of the Jesuits
of L Flarhe, and la entitled "Good
Mannera In Converse Among Men.'
The text la In French, with a Itla
translation. Deportment In public la
first touched Upon. "In yawning do
not groan," this ancient guide to polite
ness says, "and do not gape even when
speaking. In blowing thy nose do it
not as one would sound a trumpet, and
afterward regard not fixedly thy hand
kerchief. Avoid wiping thy nose as
the children do with the fingers or upon
the sleeve. When listening to some one
speaking do not wriggle about, but kew
tnyseir in thy skin the while." It must
have been hard to obey this hitter In
jum-uon. juuging from what is said a
little further along: "Kill not fleus or
the like In the presence of others, but
excuse thyself ami remove whatever
torments thee." Three hundred years
ago gentlemen did not wear such sad
colored costumes ns they do to-day.
and one cannot help feeling that a little
pride and swagger wns excusable In a
dandy of those days when he donned
for the first time a particularly fetch-
ng costume of high-colored silken
nmi nose, let this "guide" re
marks severely: "If thou art well bedl-
xened, if thy hose be tightly drawn and
thy habit well ordered, parade not thy
self, but curry thyself with becoming
modesty. Demean not thyself arrog
antiy, neither go mlueingly about. Let
not thy hands hang limply to the
ground and tuck not up thy hose at
every turn."
lo not embellish thyself with flow
ers upon thy ear," Is another injunction
which sounds curious to-day, but the
advice, "When speaking raise not thy
voice as If thou wert crying an edict,"
le just aa pertinent now aa when the
budding young gentlemen of La Fleche
had It drummed Into them. Table
mannera In those days must have been
rather more primitive even than those
of some of the BO-cent table d' hotea
In this city, for the book Bays: "Being
seated at the table, scratch not thyself.
and if thou must cough or spit or wipe
thy nose, do It dexterously and without
great noise.'
"Stuff not thy mouth with food when
eating and drink not too much of the
wine if thou art not master of the
house. Show not overmuch pleasure,
euner, at trie meats or wine.
In taking salt have a care that thy
knife be not greasy; when It Is neces
sary to clean that or the fork, do It
neatly with the napkin or a little bread
but never with the entire loaf. Smell
not of the meats, and If by chance
thou dost put them not back afterward
before another.
"It Is a very Indecent thing to wipe
the sweat from thy face with thy nap
Kin or with the Bame to blow thy nose
or clean the plate or platter."

There are two reasons, either one of
which ought to be conclusive with
every American citizen.
Fint The trip from Denver to Utah
via Rio Grande Western, "Great Salt
Lake Route," 1b the grandest to be
found anywhere on the continent. No
European trip of equal length can com
pare with It in varietj and grandeur of
oenery and wealth of novel interest.
Second: You should go because, when
you have made this wonderful trip, you
will find Utah at the end of it-Utah,
one of the world's famous spots, and a
land of gold, silver, copper, Iron and
coal; of lofty mountains and fertile val
leys; of vineyards, fruits and flowers.
Salt Lake City, the capital, Is of great
interest on account of Its historical and
religious associations. Here are Hot
Thermal Springs, Warm Springs, Sul
pliur Springs, Sanitarium, Parks.
