GUNCOTTON INEFFECTIVE, mutes, 16; Capt, Jamieson, of West Point, Says That Army and Navy Mast Loek to Maximite for Effective Explosive, The recent improvements in arniy and naval ordnance and armor plate, the various forms of rifle cannon, the | use of the modern high explosives, and the eifect of detonating charges of explosives upon heavy plate were diseussed by Capt. Charles C. Jamie- son, instructor of ordnance and gun- nery at West Point, at a special me ing of the Western Society of Engi | “Ordnance and Armor In the course of his address the plain said the guneotton had been proven ineffective, and that it would be altogether supplanted by newer explosives. Of these the speaker said that in his be- lief maximite was the most powerful and readily ptible to the needs irtmenteand the of the ordnance l requisites of war, The great aim of the ordnance ex- perts, he said, is to manufacture a ‘shell which will explode after it reaches the interior of a warship. j He looked to maxinit® to solve the }problem, With this accomplished every warship would become a prize instead of being totally destroyed and rendered valueless to the vie- tors. Capt. Jamiesou’s address was supplemented — with stereopticon views showing the effect of the vari- ous explosives on armor ranging in thickness from four to twenty inches. BIG VENTURE FOR ST.

Warning Ordered Sent to Instructors in the Public Schools in the Philippine Islands. Acting Governor Wright, of the Phil- ippines, has been instructed to forbid Protestant teachers in the schools of the archipelago to attempt to influ- ence Catholic children under their charge to give up their faith, if on in- vestigation it is found that such proselyting attempts exist. The teachers will be informed that it is not a part of the policy of this government to teach religion in the schools. Complaints were received several days ago from various Catholic so- cieties in regard to this matter, which were referred to the secretary of war. The above action was taken in re- sponse'to the complaints. 4 Uncle Sam Interested, Before Mr. Morgan goes too far in the matter of offering to hand ell for of the United States government to the plan, says the Chicago Inter tain contingencies this proposed ar- rangement would not work at all to his country’s satisfaction, The_report states that this — who cannot read | and the number of girls in the same | Jiliteracy is traced by the enumera- | tors to the | Titied Foreigners to Be Questioned Same as Imm‘grants. tmspectors at Pert of New York In- stracted to Carry Out Provisions of Law Without Fear or Favor. — ae European tourists, titled or other- wise, who have been accustomed to eral census for the same year by 165,-, enter this country by way of New ' York, are likely to be a good deal sur- prised by the enforcement of the treasury order, under which they ference in the system of enumerating. | must, as a neglected law directs, an- In 1900 the census was taken in groups! swer the same questions that are put by ages and it is probable, according | gy steerage passengers.

Bob, or Robert W. Philburn, is a fur- niture worker of Detroit. He received a better offer from a Portland, Ore., firm, but had not the money for two fares, so he figured on leaving his wife Reatrice with his mother at Cleveland place. He reckoned without his Beatrice, She met him at the train with her brown curls cut short and dressed in boy’s clothes. “I'm go'ng, too,” she said. Conse- quently Bob and Beatrice took pas sage in a freight car instead of a Pull- man. They were ciscovered by a pa- trolman.

The Democracy carried the state, accord- ing to the careful estimate of Secre- tary Cook, by a probable plurality in excess of 40,000, the largest since 1880. Both houses of the leg- islature are Democratic, and the ma- tween thirty and forty. Fifteen of the sixteen congressmen elected are Democrats, The school fund amend- ment has undoubtediy received the approval of the people by an em- phatic majority. These most grati- fying results have been achieved, al- though Missouri had the most dis- mal, dreary election day since the election day of 1860. The honor of the state has been fully vindicated. Missouri is a state of wonderful re- sources. It is a high honor to be in- trusted with the management of such a glorious commonwealth.

RICH GEMS FOR MUSEUM. J. Piérpont Morgan Gives New York Institution Two Magnificent Sappaires, J. Pierpont Morgan has sent to the American Museum of Natural History, as a gift, two of the most magnificent sapphires in the world. They are to be added to the collection donated by him to the institution. This collection, which is considered among the finest existing, was gathered by Tiffany & Co. to be exhibited at the Paris exposi- tion, after which it was bought by Mr. Morgan at great cost. Prof. Bumpus, director of the museum, said that the value of the collection had never been appraised exactly, as far as he knew. “Nobody knows how much it is worth,” he explained. Prof. Bumpus described the two latest additions to the collection as a star sapphire, probably the largest in the world, and a yeHow sapphire, “the most beautiful gem in the whole col- lection.” South Africa Needs Live Stock, E.

New Machine Which Cuts the Green Sward on Capitol Hill at Washington, An sutomobile lawn mower has been set to work on the greensward of Capitol Hill at Washington. The new machine resembles both a steam road roller and a steamboat whistle. A huge brass dome, surmounted with a brass smokestack, is mounted on a pair of rollers. Ahead of the front roller is fixed a lawn mower mechan- ism, cver which sits the chaffeur. The little machine puffs up the hills and swings around and goes down again, while the grass flies up in front like a green mountain. It cuts about three times the amount of grass that can be laid low by the old Orange Free State at the world’s fair| ne-horse machine, which it super- at Chicago in 1893, has written the sec- retary of agriculture stating that large numbers of live stock, especially sheep and cattle, for slaughtering, breeding and dairy purposes, are need- | the weeds and kills them. ed in South Africa, and that an excel- is offered there for agri- cultural machinery and farming imple- ments..
