INCENDIARY BOMBS.
These Missiles of Fire and Fumes Are
Loaded With Thermit.
Incendiary bombs differ from or
dinary explosive bombs In that they
ore intended not to scatter fragments
over a wide area, but to produce sud
den and intense beat at a given point,
thus starting a tierce conflagration.
W. A. Tilden describes In Nature one
of these bombs. His account is as fol
lows:
The bomb, as a rule. Is conical, of
ten Inches diameter at the base, corded
round and has a metal handle at the
apex. The base I* a flat cup. on to
which a pierced metal funnel Is fitted,
having the ignition device and handle
fitted at the top. The funnel Is gen
erally filled with thermit, which upon
ignition generates Intense beat and by
the time of the concussion has taken
the form of molten metal of the ex
traordinarily high temperature of over
5.000 degrees F. The molten metal is
spread by the concussion. Outside the
funnel la a padding of a highly inflam
mable or resinous material, bound on
with an Inflammable form of rope.
The resinous materia) creates a pun
gent smoke.
There is generally some melted
white phosphorus In the bottom of the
cap, which develops nauseous fumes,
in some cases celluloid cblppings are
added and occasionally a small quanti
ty of petrol.
JOGGED ,HIS MEMORY.
On* Clever Wife Mad* 8ur* Her Let
ters Would Be Mailed.
It was one of those days when It
rained without the least warning that
a well dressed man stopped in front of
a High street business place. He stood
with studied look, as though some
heavy weight was on his mind. For
fully five minutes he stood there think
ing, thinking, thinking.
Then it began to sprinkle a little,
and he raised an umbrella which be
had been tossing from one hand to the
other as he went through his different
pockets. When he raised the umbrel
la two letters already stamped fell
from it to the ground. They struck
Qrst on the hat of the man and then
slowly fell down past his face. There
was a broad smile, and he picked
them up.
“I knew there was something my
wife had told me to do, but 1 couldn’t
make out for the life of me what it
was." he said to another gentleman
who stood near by.
The wife had placed two letters In
his umbrella. She was certain that
there would be a shower and that In
no other manner could she be sure of
having the letters mailed.—Columbus
Dispatch.
The New Minister.
“How do you like your new minis
ter?’'
“Very much, indeed. He’s the right
sort, one of those 'man among men’
ministers, you know. Comes over to
the house occasionally and smokes a
pipe, plays on our baseball team, good
at tennis and golf and seems to be
lieve in getting pleasure out of this
life."
"1 see." '
“Yes. and he’s interested in the things
we laymeu are interested in. He dis
cusses the problems of the day. I tell
you he’s a tine fellow."
“I know, but what sort of sermons
does he preach?"
“Well, that l can’t tell you. 1 haven’t
been over to hear him preach yet”—
Detroit Free I’ress.
Swift and Stubborn.
Absalom rode a "mule.” Some of
the easiest, strongest, swiftest riding
animuls in the country still are mules,
aud a fine white mule brings a price
equal to the finest horse. When the
Egyptian army Invaded Syria in 1839
Its lender. Ibrahim Pasha, rode a re
markable mule, which covered almost
unbelievable distances in a single day.
Mules are phenomenal In their tough
ness and were no doubt as stubborn
and unmanageable in Absalom’s day
as in ours, so that there was no hold
ing the animal back after Absalom
became entangled in the oak under
growth.—Christian Herald.
Obliging.
Mr. Bowen was having dinner with
the Reillys, and the seven-year-old son
of the family was present
“And what are you going to be when
you grow up. young man?” asked Mr.
Bowen of tbe little boy.
“Well." replied tbe boy thoughtful
ly. "after I’ve been a minister to please
mother an’ a Judge to please father
I’m goln’ to be a policeman.”—New
York Times.
Burdens of Fashion.
“I guess.” said she. ’’I'll put on my
thinking cap and consider , the matter.”
“Well, well!” said an old codger who
overheard the remark. “Has it gotten
so a woman bus to put on a special
form of headgear just to do a little
thinking?”—Louisville Courier-Journal*
Didn’t Pay. '
“You department store people have
everything. It’s a wonder you don't
have a department to Bupply women
