A NEW EXPLOSIVE.
The Tower of Belllt Dmonatrmt4 lw
Ilrcrnt Experiment.
A distinct advance has been made in
the inventiion of new explosives in re
cent, years, and there can be no doubt
that dynamite, which has ho lonff held
the Seld us a high explosive, is being1
seriously threatened by competitors.
The ideal of a high explosive that of
combining absolute safety with great
cnerirv has been the aim of all inven-
' v torn, but until lately success in this direc
tion lias only been partial. In most in
stances the explosive has represented
the required energy, but has failed to
comply with the Homo Office regula
tions as regards the standard of safety.
The direction in which the more
Viiwe.'-sfiil inventors have labored was
indicated by Dr. Sprengel, F. K. S., in
his investigation rcconled in "A New
Class of Explosives,5' a pamphlet pub
lished some fifteen years ago. Of these
"bellite," the invention of M. Lamm,
of Stockholm, is one of the first prac
tical outcomes, and judging from the
very severe tests to which it w;is sub
jected, both as regards safety and
power, it would appear to approach
nearer to the ideal than any of its
predecessors.
Itss:ifjly was, indeed, amply demon
strated in the experiments made at
Middlesbro'. under the direction of Mr.
Napier Hake. Some cartridges con
taining bellite were, for example,
placed on an iron plate and s-ubjected
to the sudden descent of a block of iron
weighing over half a ton, from a height
of twenty feet, witli the result that the
cartridges were only crushed into a
hard mass. Hut when the crushed
cartridges v.-re afterward detonated
by meuis of a fulminate, immense
energy was developed. Again, when
placed in the lire of a smith's forge, it
.simply volatilized, its safety was also
demonstrated in a remarkable manner
by exploding a throe-ounce cartridge
on the lid of a ease of liollite, the effect
b-ing to Minply pulverize the wooden
case and scatter the contents. A large
number of experiments wen' also made
by way of comparing its power with
ilynaniit-. with the view to showing
the. injury which equal weights of each
would inflict on .tcol rails and iron
plates. In the-e it v.-as clearly shown
That, when confined, the energy de
veloped on detonation was equal to
that of dynamite, but that, when 1111
conlined. bellite apparently did Ios
work. Thi- can be accounted for by
the fact that bellite is much slower in
developing its full energy than dyna
mite, and therefore le.-s local in its
action. Some practical teats made in
the blasting of coal in the Cleve
land iron mines were of a highly s:;ti-
fac'ory nature, both as regards economy
and adaptability, for they clearly
proved that bellite was capable of
doing the work of three or four time,
its own weight of gunpowder, and with
out the objectionable result of produc
ing th'e no.iou fumes socharacteris
'" lie of dynamite and gunpowder. Lon

STOWAWAYS ON BOAR ft
llco.rl.w OPru M:il by tho Cajitaliift
cr Orru II Hlrauivr.
Hardly an ocean steamer bound for
America leaves a port in (treat Britain
but lias four or live unfortunate crea
tures stowed away somewhere. It is
within the experience of captains to
make the discovery that they have
twenty, or even more, of these unde
sirable passengers aboard, and that
hev have as nianv more mouths to
k feeu. This makes soaic- skippers sav
W age, as when they sail they have stores
only proportionate to their crew, with
due provisions for delays from stress of
weather, will of (Jotl, etc.
The stowaways are recuited from all
sorts and conditions of men. but as a
general rule they are mostly incapables
I anil the scum of the streets of London
' and other great cities. It can be truth
fully said of them as a class that, their
leaving is usually for their country's
good. They hang around the docks
until an opportune moment arrives for
shipping aboard. Usually they select
sttips which are taking in a cargo of
pipes or some other material in which
they can make a comfortable hiding
place. As a general rule they are
assisted by the bumpers," or ship
laborers, with whom they are leagued,
and win, while loading a ship with
brick, can easily build up a square
room in a dark corner in which stowa
ways can be accommodated with com
parative comfort.
When the cargo consists of pipes the
stowaways creep inside them and wait
patiently until they think the pilot has
gone off and the vessel is well away
from land. This plan has its incon
veniences, as directly as a ship leaves
port the officers start upon a tour of in
vestigatiou and often throw "awaken
ers" into the pipes. When they hear
an appreciative howl they make the
stowaway crawl out. The majority of
the men. however, either escape the
missiles or bear the slings and arrows
of outrageous fortune with Spartan
fortitude, because it often happens
that after the officers are satisfied that
there is no one there, in good time the
stowaways come from below and begin
to inhalo the ozone in safety.
When a tdup is too far out from land
to send a boat ashore the captain is re
duced to the necessity of taking all the
work ho can get out of the stowaways,
and he generally does this pretty ef
fectually if tliore is only n moderate
consignment of them. But it is hard
for any captain to find work for twenty
Ry extra men. When overwhelmed by
such a number the smartest are put to
work as deck hands, the rest are
treated as steerage passengers ,nnd
handed over to the police on arrival.

GOOD STABLE FLOOR.
Concrete tlta ltrtt, ml In thf Long Hal,
llio Clu'&prat Material.
To make a good stable lloor there
should be an excavation of a foot deep,
or if this does not reach a solid founda
tion dig still deeper and fill the bottom
with broken stones or coarse gravel,
ami pound it down solid, until within
ten inches of the level at which tho
lloor is to bo finished. In making this
till you should use a level and establish
your grade exactly. When the founda
tion is in and leveled up you are ready
for tho first coat of concrete which
may bo made of the common (Louis
ville here) ccineuL It may be made
of course gravel with the sand screened
out, or of broken stones. I believe tho
latter is tho best but it should bo
broken small, leaving no pieces larger
than two inches square. This is mixed
with cement at the rate of a barrel of
cement to a perch. Mix it thoroughly
6o that each separate stone or pebble
is coated with the cement and do
not mako it so wet as to run or
be sloppy. Spread this so as to
come within two inches of the top
and ram it down until perfectly solid.
After it is set a little, which will bo
in a day or so, you are ready for the
last coat. This must bo made of sharp
sand and the best Portland cement,
mixed in the proportion of one part of
cement to three of sand. Mix tho
material dry and it is well to screen it,
so as to insure that it be thoroughly
mixed. Mix up with water into a
rather stiff but well-tempered mortar,
a small quantity at a time, one man
mixing while the other spreads. Lay
it down in strips about three feet wide,
or as wide as you can easily reach.
Make' a mark on the wall two inches
up or as high as you wish the lloor to
come and then lay a strip of board of the
same thickness to work upon and use a
straight edge as you work so as to fill
everywhere to the same level. Before
you movo tho board to begin a second
strip the one laid should be made per
fectly smooth. Then move tho board
and lay another strip and proceed in
this way until you are done.
I can not give the exact cost of this
floor as my experience is limited in the
matter, but I will estimate that it will
tako two barrels of Louisville aud
about one-and-a-half of Portland ce
ment, and this ought to be bought for
about $1.40 per barrel for the former,
and fS.SO for the latter. This would
make tho cost of the cement for a
square of 100 feet S.02. I estimate
that a man ought to put down about a
square a day. The sand, stone, and
gravel will cost more in some places
than others. I have on my own farm
an abundance ot limestone, and excel
lent gravel near. I would advise any
one who wishes to try putting down
some of this floor, to floor a small sta
ble or a single stall first, and then test
it before flooring an entire stable. The
bars 1 mentioned as having had this
kind of a floor in use for several years
is 72 by 104 feet, aud every part of it is
floored with concrete. Even the ma
nure ditches for the cattle are made of
it. and there is stabling for 125 cattle,
besides stalls for 12 horses. Do not be
persuaded to use any but the best Port
land cement for the finishing coat, as I
have known a failure when this has
been done. This is used also for walks
and pavements, and quite an amount
tf it has been laid in my village in the
last few years. It would make a splen
did feeding floor for hogs. No part of
a barn fails as soon as a stable floor
and to keep it in good repair if made of
planks requires renewal every few
years. While the cost of the concrete
will he snore at irst than twice that of
planks, la the long run it will be much
cheaper. Of course the reader will
understand that the stable must not

FORCE OF CHARACTER.
Its Tm fllal Piiiu of rare, Kmpm
lea and AeawaaalUhaarat.
There are two essential elements of
force of character ie!dom possessed
by pretenders self-control and a spirit
of fairness. No man can be really
strong who lias not learned to control
himself. He can not master others,
except in a brutal or dishonest way,
until he has flrt mastered, not merely
learned to conceal his own temper.
In fact the bully or any other pre
tender rarely ever attains permanently
a position in life which belongs to real
merit. He is oftener seen in subor
dinate positions, and is recognized by
his propensity to givo instead of
take directions; to complain when
in some exigency more is re
quired of him than usual; to criti
cise when he can not shirk, and to im
pose in various other ways upon those
around him Nor can his influence be
of a lasting kind unless he is disjKJsed
to be fair and honest in dealing with
antagonists. He'may have these qual
ities, and yet be without force of char
acter, but having thera he is posesed
of two of tho primary elements that
make up tho leader or ruler of men.
Contrary to general iMjlicf, then, the
man of real force is never a bully, is
never passionate, though he may be,
and generally Is aggressive, as occa
sion require, give exhibitions of tem
per that is, nevertheless, kept in per
fect control. Force of character brings
with it self-reliance and imperturbable
manner. Just as the really courageous
man remains cool in the pres
ence of danger, the telf-reliant man
keeps his temper under provocation
because he feels confidence in himself.
The coward grows excited and loud
mouthed to conceal his real feelings.
Tho arbitrary man. accustomed to
force his views upon others, loses con
fidence in and control of himself when
he fails to mako his usual impression.
It is at such a moment that real force
of character begins to tell; it is then
that theuclf-contniucdand self-respecting
man dictates his terms and asserts
his power. But it is then also that ho
must exercise that forbearance which
comes of honest purpose and a spirit
of fairness if he must retain his
ascendancy, for reason must aj,
prove the terms of peace, else
there will be repeated revolts.
Tho consideration of what is the
true and what is tho misleading signal
of force of character is of advnntage
not only in enabling one to tut a just
estimate upon men, but because all of
us conscientiously orunconscionttously
adopt types which we seek to imitate,
aud it behooves us not to make the
mistake of following a bully instead of
a brave man, of looking up to tho
overbearing instead of those who are
just, self-reliant, Miistcnt and whose
force of character is shown not by the
way in which they trample upon other
people, and ignore their rights and
opinions, but by their manner of ob
taining ascendancy through the con
stant exercises of justice, reason, firm
ness and self-control. lialtimore Sun.

RAISINGA BLOCKADE.
A Good Story Told at the Ktpen of an
AreiM-Kjed I-ady Tearher.
A certain educational Institution not
a hundred miles from Albany has a
series of very rigid rules relative to
the conduct of its students outside of
school hours. One of these rules is to
tho effect that no young lady student
must go out after dark in the company
of a man. be he of high or low degree.
This rule is enforced very strictly, and
the young ladles are much in terror ol
tho penalties alleged to be inflicted
upon any unfortunate creature caught
violating the pile. Recently, however.
a young lady student attended an en
tertainment upon the invitation of a
gentleman of hor acquaintance and was
unfortunate enough to be discovered
by a grim-faced teacher of the institu
tion in question. The teacher was evi
dently not sure of the girl's identity,
but decided that on her way home
she would wait for a while in front
of the girl's boarding-house, whicli
was directly on her route, and confront
the culprit in the very act of disobey
ing the cast-iron law of the school. The
young people were just behind her,
however, and saw her pause Iwfore the
boarding-houso. They retired to the
shadow of the trees and waited. The
grim teacher never stirred. It was
growing late, but she evidently in
tended to secure her victim. Tho young
people were just beginning to grow
uneasy, when a brilliant thought struck
tho young man. With the fair student
upon his arm, he did what is usually
deemed impossible he found the offi
cer on that beat. A short explanation
and a glance from the bright eyes of
the perplexed maiden settlfd the mat
ter, and the stalwart "copper" walked
back to where the lone watch stood
and said roughly: "Come. now. you've
been here long enough; move on. or
I'll pull you In." Thoroughly
frightened, the poor woman stood for
a moment, and then walked on as rap
idly as offended dignity would permit.
When she was out of sight the smiling
youngsters made their appearance, and
with a demure countenance the young
lady bade her friend good-night and
entered the house. The teacher, some
how, never reported the case. Albany
