UNFAVORABLE VIEW.
Thinking minds have doubtless
all eslertained at times for the
last few years some strious ap
preheusions at the tendency to
ward some serious, events in
i i hat.m i ght engulf, wh ether
they will to or not, the principal
powers of the world in a bloody
V?. rf 2 re. The conciliatory di
plomatic spirit manifested' re-
eeuuy seeired to lend- hope that
lno'-;f troublous times would be
tided over and peace would yet
reign.
Gen. Nelson A Miles, whose
position warrants probably the
.credit at least of studious scan
ning of the situation is quoted by
the Philadelphia Record as say-
"1 1 slievo it possible that the
conflicting interests of the pow
ers will bring on a general war
involving aU the civilized powers
in thp' greatest war. of modern
times. . The greatest danger
arises from the chance that some
of the pojvers will attempt the
u-iomtjuiuernioul oi! the Chinese
empire." .
"Would this country fight?"
he was asked.
"I believe it would have suf
ticient cause o fight, "said Gen
oral Miles. "So far as I can see
the most hopeful indication is the
chance that Russia and the
United States wilP agree to act
together. There is to my, njjnd
every reason " to believe that
Russia is acting in good faitht
Russia has more to gainfrom
the preserving of, the integrity
cf the Chinese empire than she
Las from the policy of disrup
tion. She has spent vast'sums
iu constructing the trans-Siberian
Railway, the greatest enter
prise cf modern times."
It is not to be expected that
a.rjy individual has a monopoly of
uisdomand that Gen. Miles may
be greatly in error but we recal
that before most other" people

SMOKELESS POWDBtt.
It is probably the popular ina-
pression that the only specially
meritorious feature of smokeless
powder is in its being smokeless
to a high degree. In battle
much confusion occurs through
the quickly beclouded atmos
phere, as in the case of one of
the heroes in the battle of San
tiago who swore at a gunner near
him about the smoko wafted into
his face. The black powder, too,
reveals the presence of one who
might remain undiscovered but
for the cloud rising from his
gun. Jjut these are not ail the
advantages of the smokeless kind
of powder, It' is immensely
safer than the black powder.
The latter burns with an explo
sive nasn always while the
smokeless kind only explodes
when confined. One may hold
a stick of it in the hand while it
burns at the other.
A splendid demonstration of
this virtue occurred on the Hud
son river s6metime ago when
lightening struck a powder boat
and set it on fire. The flames
were communicated to several
cases of smokeless powder which
were entirely consumed before
the fire was extinguished without
any explosion whatover.
The peculiarity of tliecheinical
combination is such that .its
power increases with the pres
sure upon it. For instance, you
charge a cannon with the black
powder and touch . the spark.
The explosion pecurs and the
climax of its force is reached in
stantly, with a rapid diminution
even before the projectile has
passed the muazle of tlie gun.
Not so with the sniokeless kind.
Its force is less instantaneous
butwilh its .slower burning the
pressure upon it by the slower
process is increasing and the ac
celerated explosive force reaches
its climax more nearly at the in
stant at which it leaves the gun.
This renders it more intensely
eftectual. This together with
its immunity from explosion
under circumstances that make
the black powder so extremely
dangerous adds immensely to its
alue. ...
