MRS. KELSEY, Prop.
Describing a viait to Hudson Maxim, at his residence
at Brooklyn, N. Y., in the August number of Popular
Mechanics, P. Harvey Middleton says:
"In the garden some wet guncotton was hanging out to
dry, looking as innocent as an eiderdown cloak, while on
the ground were numerous ends of smokeless powder candles
and rags of guncotton. Mr. Maxim showed his contempt for
nitrogelatin by hammering nails into a wall with a big
chunk of it, wllich he afterwards sawed up for kitchen fuel.
"Returning to the drawing room, we found Mrs. Maxim
cheerfully inducing a dainty copper kettle to boil over a
yeflow cake of Maximite, while a welsh rarebit was being
done to a turn ever a dish of smokeless powder.
" 'Maximite,' said Mr, Maxim, as he casually lit a cigar
after tea with a candle of the high explosive, 'cannot be ex
ploded by ignition, nor can it be heated hot enough to ex
plode, as it will boil away like water under heat. It is
therefore perfectly safe to melt over an open fire for filing
projectiles in the same manner that asphalt is melted in a
street caldron.
" 'It is, in fact, a deadly paradox. You can pour
molten cast iron upon a mass of it without causing an ex
plosion, but fit a detonating fuse to it and you can shatter
a fortress.' " The article is illustrated.
Latoucho island has a copper mine
adjoining: Beatson's famous Bonanza
which promises to rival that marvelous
deposit of roil metal. It is the property
oncc kuown as tho Blackbird group,
now owned and recently developed by
the Latoucho Copper Mining: company,
of which James Girdwood is president,
holding two-thirds of the stock. Mr.
Girdwood says his m'ne will beat Beat
son*^ und ho wouldn't say so if it wasn't
so. Ho aftirms tliat A. K. Beatson
tacitly admits it and that Beatson occa
sionally lamonts that ho didn't buy the
Blackbird croup when it was for sale
cheap. It is conceded that Mr. Beat
son's knowledge of copper ore is such
.hat he ought to bo charged advertising
rates for publishing his opinion of any
body's ledge and that is vhy Mr. Gird
wood rejoices over his neighbor's grief
that be passed up the stack of chalcopy
rite which bounds the Beatson Bonanza
on the north. ? Prospector.
Colonel Jnyne of Massachusetts had
the honor on one occasion of befriend
ing and entertaining Colonel Swartt
of the Royul German artillery. This
was In London, where they were both
strangers and both happened to be
stopping at the same hotel. The Ger
man colonel was assaulted and robbed
on the street In the evening, and for a
week, or until he could send for money,
he was the guest of the American.
There was something rather queer
about the Incident. The two gentle
men were "slumming" when a public
carriage suddenly halted beside them
Jind two men sprang to the gronnd and
uttacked the German, while a third
sought to hold back the American.
The attempt was made to force the
German Into the carriage, and It might
have been that his money was lost
during the struggle. Tho American
fought for his companion, and the fel
lows were finally driven off. It looked
more like a case of attempted abduc
tion than of a holdup, but as the Ger
man argued the other way the Amer
ican had to be satisfied.
It was five years before the two met
again. This time it was on tho Ger
man frontier, and both were bound
for St Petersburg. Colonel Jayne was
traveling for pleasure; the other ex
plained that he was on a secret mission
for his government. lie made this ex
planation because he had shaved off
his luxuriant whiskers and was other
wise disguised and recognition was ac
cidental. Colonel Swartz was well ac
quainted in the capital city, and it was
arranged that the two should stop at
the same hotel and take In the sights
together. They did take adjoining
rooms on their arrival, but tho German
said that he would be busy for two
Or three days and left it to the other
to find his way about alone.
Next morning after arrival Colonel
fayne set out with Yankee Impatience

S was mljslug and had been
f! < : > .m Ills baggage had also been
overhauled, and the officers seemed
much chagrined at the man's escape.
Colonel .Ja.vne had known absolutely
nothing of the Oerman before meeting
him at the hotel In London. He had
talren the man for what he claimed to
""tie. He had no Idea that he was au
Impostor, so far as name and rank
went, and that he was one of the most
active nihilists In or out of Russia.
The three men that had approached
the American on the streets probably
belonged to that order as well. The
Herman happened to be returning to
Russia at that time, and accident had
discovered the two men to each other.
After beiug under examination for
half a dr.y Colonel Jayne was sent to
au official higher up. Here he was met
by the papers takeu from his baggage.
He had made a month's stay In Lon
don before starting for Rur.sla and had
received several letters from friends
at home. One of them had Jocosely
written:
"Don't forget that the first thing to
be done on your arrival in St. Peters
burg is to call on the emperor and give
him tiiy love and tell him- to hang on
to his Job as long as the pay comes In
every Satij/ila.v night."
"IIow can you. a person entirely un
known here, secure audience with his
majesty V" was asked.
"1 can't, of course." was the reply.
"Thou why should tills |>ersou have
thus written?"
"lli' Is what we-caTI n Joker."
"Joker? Joker? Does he dare hold
Ills majesty e.p to ridicule! And j'ou
are to Rive Ills love to the czar of nil
Russia, just as one peasant woman
sends her love to another: And how Is
this about holding his Job? What does
oh mean?"
"Ills place, sir."
"But his majesty's place Is the high
?st In the land, and to speak of It as
. 'Job" Is to speak with disrespect.
Yml the pay every Saturday ulcht, as
f the great czar was but a common
aborerl"
"1 shall take treat pleasure In telllnsr
the writer of that letter what an ass
he !? the very first thine when I get
home." replied the colonel.
"And here Is another letter In which
you are advised not to make any ex
cursions to Siberia In the winter sea
son. People are sent to Siberia for
serious offenses against the law. Were
o i co:i;ei::;i'.'.tliitt a crime that this
person should write you thus? It must
Ihj so."
"I'll recommend him to the nearest
idiot asylum." promised the colonel.
The examiuntionvlastcd three days In
all. during which time the Amerlcau
was a prisoner and lived on prison
fare. Then, accompanied by two gen
darmes. he was escorted to the German
frontier and warned never to set foot
In Russia again. Colonel Swart* got
Into Germany ahead of him, and tne.v
met again, but when tho German ex
teud?*d his hand the other drew hlnv
>elf up stltlly and replied:
"No, sir! No, sir! I don't know you,
sir!" M. QUAD.
