A Virginia man appears to have made the best Bmokelesa powder which tbe army has tested np to date. Th teat was recent! v ma .e at the Frankfort. Pa., arsenal with excellent resnlts. and a request was sent for additional and larger quantities of the' powder. The composition came from Leonard Mason, who has not been tnown as a chemist to ordnance experts. Another successful sample has been re ceived from the California Powder com pany, and the firm ia engaged in devel oping the powder recently tested with good results. The failure of congress to appropriate any money for the equip ment of the powder Laboratory which General Flagler desired to establish at Frankford must necessarily delay the discovery of a successful powder. The navy has been a little more fortunate in this particular, and has a laboratory at Newport in charge of a chemist who spends most of Lis time in developing a smokeless powder, which hat already j oeen ir.ed w ha resuits tnat exceea in .merit the best of the smokeless powders tried abroad. The composition of the navy powder is kept a secret, and many of the mi"tary attaches of foreign lega tions in Washington have besought Commodore Simpson to furnish them with his formula. fruit for tale in Chicago during the sum mer. More substantial results will be reached in this way, probably, than by the exhibits, as the test of flavor and richness is one that Oregon boasts and relies upon for the merit of euperiority.
