Itildodlua Dynamite la the Moat Tre
niciidoiie Force lu Kiletence.
When dynamite explodes It leavca
little to mark tlio spot where It baa
tain save evidences of Its dostructlve
ness. Two Interesting exhibits of Its
forco nro shown In the Hterens Inrtl
tuto of Technology at Iloboken, N. J.
They nro steel blocks, six Inches In
diameter and four Inches thick, show
ing respectively the Imprcaslon of nn
oak leaf and the Imprint of the head
line of a western newspaper. It was
during a test of high explosives thnt n
cnrtrldgo of dynamlto waa placed on
a nowapnper covering the block of
steel, tho object being to aco how much
dynamlto would be required to split
tho metal.
Tho dynamite was flrcd without In
jury to the steel, but to the surprise of
the experimenter the print of the
newspaper was deeply pressed Into the
metal. Hie experiment was repeated,
with the anme result and then w-is
elaborated by trying the charge on an
oak leaf placet! betwoen the block and
tho dynamite. This time tho stem and
tho ribs of the leaf were deeply Im
pressed In the metal.
"What happens Is this," said the rx
pert In charge. "Unlike most other ex
plosives, dynamite exerts practically
all Its crushing force downward nnd
not In a general direction. Bo Incon
ceivably quick and forceful Is tho dis
charge of this powder that the Imprint
of tho ribs of an oak leaf are mad be
fore the tear has time to b blown to
atoms. In tbo case of the newspaper
It appears that where prlnter'a Ink
touches the paper tho paper Is harden
ed and more capable of resistance thau
lu other places, nnd so It is that beforo
tho pnper is destroyed tho printing on
It Is forced deep Into tho metal."

The list of silent great men Is a long
one. Kspeclnlly Is this true of noted
warriors. Wallensteln, Wellington,
Von Moltke, Grant. Marlborough,
Charlemagne, Hannibal, Caessr, all
gave their orders In ns few words ns
possible, and demanded like brevity
from their subordinates. It la said that
Marlborough never allowed more than
n minute for a verbal report, and It Is
told of Von Moltk that when an aide-de-camp
brought a written message
that France had declared war, the
great general simply ordered It filed
lu the "second pigeon-hols on the
right, first tier." In that pigeon hole
were completo plans for the successful
campaign that followed.
Here Is an anecdote which William
Dean Howells tells of his first personal
recognition as a writer: "Years ago,
one evening after a day of lonely sight
seeing In Montreal, I returned to the
hotel whero I was stopping, and con
sulted the register In the hope of find
ing the name of some acquaintance.
I was disappointed, and, turning away,
I met two well-dressed young men,
who embraced tho register eagerly,
nnd, presently, one ot them said, to tny
great surprise and Joy: 'Hello, Tom!
Here's Howells.' 'Ohl I exclaimed,
turning toward them, 'I was Just look
ing for some one I knew. I'm glad to
see you. I bopo you're some fellows
who know mel" 'Only through your
contributions to the Saturday Press,"
they replied. It was the first personal
recognition of my work as an author
that I had ever received from a stran
ger, and the words were golden."
THEATER8 OF OLD COUNTRY.
In Many Cities They Are Controlled
hx the Government.
The recent theater horror In Chicago
bns turned the attention of the country
toward theaters In general and numer
ous cities are hurrying to "get their
housos In order" that such a catastro
phe may not occur to them, says the
Municipal Journal and Engineer. It
would speak bolter for these cities If
they did not need such prompting. In
many cities on the continent the opera
tion of theaters Is not left to private
concorns, but the municipalities have
erected the playhouses or subsidized
them, and this Idea Is gradually
spreading.
In Vienna the court theaters were
erected by the state on state lands and
consist of two buildings for different
phases of the drama. The opera house
for operas, ballets and concerts, cost In
tho neighborhood of $2,548,075, while
th Ilurg Theater, for tho drama Itself,
cost (03,530. These theaters are the
property of the Emperor's treasury
and aro maintained by the lord cham
berlain's department, and whenever
the revenue does not cover the ex
penses the Emperor's civil list makes
up the difference. The chamberlain's
department assumes no responsibility
In extending the grant, which Is looked
after by the Hungarian government
Besides the state grants, the Iloyal
Opera House and other theaters In
Budapest receive different grants from
thestate and other smaller grants from
tho city. The provincial towns of Hun
gary assist theater, managers by al
lowing free use of buildings and help
ing to defray cost of heating and light
ing. Belgium grants subsidies to com
posers, whoso works aro produced In
a Belgium thoster, and, In addition,
subsidies aro given to composers pro
ducing their works In French, Flemish
or Walloon. Most of the cities sub
sidize or own several theaters, somo
are given rent free, and In most of
them the scenery and furniture belong
to tho town.
At Sophia, Bulgaria, the city Is to
erect a theater as soon as enough mon
ey Is accumulated from the state lot
tery. In Franco, tho four national thea
ters occupy the buildings rent free, but
thoy must pay the taxes, provide for
maintenance and allow larger repairs
to be made by the state without claim
for damages through Interruption. An
annual subsidy Is granted to each the
ater by the national parliament, ware
houses aro provided for storing
scenery. The three largest tiieaters
must submit to regulation ot tbo
choice of pieces produced, prices of
scats, number ot performances, as well
as tht number of new pieces per year,
s
the minimum numbor ot artists of each
class In the company, the auditing of
accounts by tho Minister of Finance.
In tho case of the company called tho
Corned! Francalse, It manages Its In
terests under state supervision, but
some great work must be put on every
month, or two smaller works nowly
wrltton or revised, Including somo
pieces by living authors. All the other
theaters aro freo from atnto control,
although other towns grant subsidies.
A largo number of musical societies
receive encouragement from tho cities
by grants and medal for good work.
In Berlin tho royal Prussian opera
house and playhouse rccclvo together
tho sum of 1270,000 and tho Innd on
which they stand belongs to the sUte.
Only ono thenter In Home, Italy, he
longs to the city, hut In Florence, the
municipal hand receives 300 a year
and further small sums for tho music
stand nnd maintenance. Milan owns
part of one of her theaters and sub
sidies nre given others. Lisbon has
two theaters owned hy the state, one
having been erected In 1703 by private
subscriptions.
There are three state tiieaters at St
Petersburg nnd threo at Moacow main
tnlncd at the expenae of the Emperor.
In tlio principal towns are tiieaters es
tablished by the state and In which are
produced dramas for the education of
the people. The prices are very low.
At St. Petersburg, Warsaw and Klcff
the temperance societies maintain
these popular theaters, but are granted
subsidies, the amounts In the first
named city totaling over 11,500,000 dur
ing the last five years.

Tlie Ban Francisco land grabVis'
methods of conveying bribe money to
employes of the Isnd office recalls the
manner In which a certain lobbyist out
West used to make It "worth while'
for legislators to vote as be wished. V
Bible society had placed a copy of the
scriptures In each room of every hotel
In the State. Whenever the lobbyist
wished to bribe a member of the leg
islature be would invite htm to bis
room and, after going over all the le
gitimate arguments In favor of hli
measure, would ask If the legislator
had ever read the book of Job. It was
a fairly safe guess that he bad not but
even If he bad not It made no differ
ence. "It is a wonderful story," the lobby
ist wonld say, "and I think you would
And It profltoble to read It" Then ho
would place the Bible In his guest's
hand, bidding him read Job while be,
the lobbyist stepped out for a few mo
ments. "How do you like it as far as you
have read?" he would ask when be re
turned. ,
If the legislator said he liked It 'the
lobbyist knew that the bank note
which he had previously placed be
tween the leaves at the beginning of
the book of Job was of a satisfactory
denomination.
They used to tell the story out theic
that legislator once took the money
and then voted against the lobbyist's
measure, whereupon the lobbyist
frightened him Into giving back the
money by threatening to prosecute
him for grand larceny. And, sure
enough, It was nothing less, for the
lobbyist bad not said a word to lndl

Fair Play.
. During the reform riots In Hyde
Park, London, in 18(10, the mob, on a
well-remembered night began tearing
down the fences of Hyde Park for tires
and barricades. Colonel Thomas Went
worth Hlgglnson tells In tho Atlantic
Monthly of an English officer who was
dining with a friend, all unconscious
of the Impending danger. Presently
ho received a summons from the War
Department telling him that bis regi
ment was ordered out to deal with the
mob.
He hastened back to his own house,
but when be called for bis horse he
found that his Bervant had received
permission to go out for tho evening,
and bad the key of the stable In bis
pocket The officer hastily donned his
uniform, and then had to proceed on
foot to the Guards' Armory, which lay
on the other side of Hyde Park. Walk
ing hastily lu that direction, he came
out unexpectedly at the very neadquar
ters of the mob, where they were al
ready piling up the fences.
His uniform was recognized, and nn
gry shouts arose. It must have seemed
for the moment to the mob that the
Lord had dellvoted their worst enemy
Into their hands.
There was but ono thing to be done.
He made hts way straight toward the
center of action, and called to a man
who was mounted on the pile, and was
evidently the leader of the tumult:
"I say, my good man, my regiment
has been called out by ber Majesty's

and I am glad I did so, for they have
done me good work and I feel all right
again."
Many cases are being reported every
week in which Dodd's Kidney Pills
have effected cures of the most serious

These strong testimonies from earn

Dodd's Kidney Pills and Judging by
these letters, there is no case ol Kidney
trouble or backache that Dodd's Kid
ney Pills will not cure promptly and
permanently.
