4 T illamook DYNAMITE, > It Raised Ructions Before Nobel Learn­ ed to Control It Dynamite Is a Greek word for pow­ der. Its chemical name to nitroglycerin. It was discovered In a laboratory in Paris by A. Sobrero In 1847, Sobrero escaped death a hundred times by the closest margin and was never able to learn bow to handle the explosive with any safety. About 1855 Alfred Nobel, a Swedish engineer, learned how to explode tbe liquid by detonation. Nobel Bros, of Hamberg that year sent a young man to America to Introduce its use to min­ ers. He met with no success, and a tin can of the liquid left by him In a New York hotel when thrown Into tbe street wrecked tbe hotel. Injuring many and causing tbe neighborhood to rain glass. It was known commercially at this stage as “glonlon” and blew up by ac­ cident a West Indies packet at Colon, killing fifty people and destroying prvjiert.v worth u inllllou dollars Then Its use was prohibited by law. It will burn ut certain temperatures if tbe quantity Is small. When exploded it Instantly expands 10,000 times; tbe gases require 10,000 times tbe space of the liquid. At last Nobel learned to soothe and quiet the liquid by causing It to be ab­ sorbed In Infusorial eartb. It was this preparation that In I860 was called dy­ namite by Nobel. When It explodes tbe force plunges first downward and then rebounds upward. Unless confin­ ed It has little tendency to lateral pres­ sure. This is one of Its great peculiar­ ities.—Louisville Courier-Journal. “CROSSING THE BAR.” SAVAGES AND ENTERING PORT ARTHUR. headlight , CLOTHES.

If a child is born on American soil it is an American, although it might be brought up in a foreign land, without ever having the fact revealed to him. The church is the opponent to the kingdom of God, it undertakes to accomplish by discipline, instead of by natural birth, protestantism iirotcst against the church, yet it is ar more against the kingdom of God than the church, if a man were seeking the kingdom of God he had better steer clear of a Protestant Church entirely. A person is baptised into the church, but born into the kingdom, hence we do not have to conform to the church. The proprietary interest of the church naturally conflicts with the preaching of the kingdom of God. Why not reveal the fact to a child instead of trying to impress the need of salvation ? I was taught that I was a poor lost sinner, every winter 1 attended revival meetings and listened to the moral tale of woe. and to death bed scenes, and hair breath escapes. Why, a lunatie asylum is a relief to such rotten nonsense. A child hus all the nourishing food and clothes it need, sent to school for a learning, but shut out of the king­ dom of God for the want of some­ one to preach the gospel, the glad tidings of the good news of the kingdom of God.
