Those beautiful ciToK which ex pert call the piriiiture." are larscly trade secrets, always kept Inviolate ly the firms possesses them. In success ful experiments with pirnltnre for rocket and shells the ryrotechnlsl Cnds his richest rewards, while failures are often attended by unforeseen do tnictlon of property or life. Some of the later devices in rockets are of surpasslne beauty in praee of motion, brilliancy of fire and variety cf color. The new "golden cloud" rocket, for ciample, presents to the eye. at the highest point of Its fiery flight, a huge and goreeous cloud mass, blazing brilliantly for some moments and dropping ft reams of fire rain far below. How such an expansive and continued display can follow upon the flight of so small a projectile Is a secret save to a few of the higher guild of pyrotechnists. The larger rockets of this type they cost $S each-falrly fill the upper air with fire of dazzling brilliancy. Even more Impressive and wonderful the "mammoth balloon rocket. which makes the largest aerial display yet achieved by pyrotechnic skill. At a height of GOO feet this rocket re leases simultaneously seven balloons with variegated signal stars attached. These float In the sir for some time, burning w-lth changing colors of in tense brilliancy. With these the patri otic citizen can bum up his money quickly. They are sold for $12 each. Another high novelty is the "diamond chain" rocket, which rises to a great height and then projects a series of fiery chains with diamond shaped links, which change swiftly In color as they slowly descend and finally dis appear In the distance amid a shower of colored stars and golden rain. is COLONEL MARTIN'S BANQUET.

Virginia adopted those famous Instructions to her delegates in congress "to promise to that respec table body to declare the united colo nies free and Independent states." Thus encouraged, John Adams of Mas sachusetts the next day urged success- fullv the adoption of a resolution rec ommending all the colonies to form for themselves independent governments. In the preamble which he wrote It was declared that the American people could no longer conscientiously take oath to support any government deriv ing Its authority from the crown. On the 7th of June, 177(5, Hichard Henry Lee submitted a motion em bodying the Virginia instructions. The motion was seconded, as a descendant of Patrick Henry writes, "by glorious old John Adams, and Massachusetts stood side by side with Virginia." Then, on the 1st of July, congress tak ing up the resolution respecting inde pendency oine more, "all eyes were turned on me." says John Adams. Rising, he led off In a sHei h of sur passing eloquence nnd "a power of thought ami expression which," said Jefferson, "moved the members from their seats." He was "the colossus of that con gress," as Jefferson again testifies, the "Atlas of Independence," 11s Richard Stockton declares. "He compelled con vlctlon. and at last, on the 2d of July, the flame In his own soul fused Into 11 single molten current the aspirations of a people, and amid the glow of no ble, darlnc. fervent speech the reso lutions of Independency were unani mously adopted." It was then that John Adams, In a letter to Abigail, burst forth in prophetic strains of the way the glad event would be celebrat ed. So It has been celebrated, but the 1 date of the adoption of the celebration, July 4. Is the one the people recognize , as the culminating moment 01 me great event.

About noon all the armed ships and galleys In the river were drawn up be fore the city, dressed In the gayest manner, with the colors of the United states and streamers displayed, and at 1 o'clock, the yards being properly manned, they began the day by a dis cbarge of thirteen guus from each ship and one from each of the thirteen gal leys in honor of the thirteen United States. "In the afternoon an elegant dinner waa prepared for the congress then In session bore, to which all distinguished citizens and strangers of eminence were Invited.
