affairs and is on the point of self de
struction when he is saved by Julia
Annt'i'sloy. a beautiful girl, who pleads
with hfm to change places with her
brother, Hugh, who has been falsely
accused of murder. Sergeant agrees
to the proposition, fakes up evidence
against himself aud gives himself up
to the police. Ho learns that the doc
tor has made a mistake, and it looks
as if he would lie executed as a mur

"A Splendid Dishonor."
George Ado'j drama, "The Slim
Princess," is being filmed.
8CENE FROM "A SPLENDID DISHONOR."
George Larkin is at present playing
the leads la "The Trey o' Hearts"
against Cleo Madison. In this role
he has proved himself to be an actor
of rare ability. When h« was five
years old Mr. Larkin entered upon bis
business career aa a child acrobat In a
circus troupe. This early start on the
thorny road of life was brought about
because his parents and relatives de
serted him and left him at the mercy
of the circus people. He alternated
between the circus, stage and vaude
ville until six years ago, when he be
came a movie actor.
In making the flint oi 'The Treasure
Train" It was necessary to have 250
children who should be passengers
when the train was held up and robbed.
The children were borrowed from an
orphan asylum and had a fine day in
the country, with only a few minutes
of work during the filming of the rob
bery.
King Baggot plays all twelve roles
of the drama, "Shadows." In sorai
scenes he appears in Ave or six char
acters, this being made possible b;
clever triek photography.
Mr. Brown has $1,000, which hi
hides in an old pair of trousers. Hit
wife sells the panls, and when Browi
finds It out he runs out to look fo!
them. He locates them on a trami

EXPLODING EXPLOSIVES.

the development of much heat.
There are two well detlncd modes of
expli sion which can be described as
combustion and detonation. In the
former case the explosive is simply ig
uitc.l and combustion takes place by
transference of lie.-.t from layer to layer
of the explosive. The rapidity with
which the combustion proceeds de

the r\plt ivo. but also on the pressure

D • nation, on the other hand, has to

pulse, such as the explosion of a
charuv of mercurj fulminate; it pro
ceeds much more rapidly and is due to
the formation of an explosion wave
that has a velocity of thousands of me

"High" explosives indicate those,
such as dynamites and nitrate of am
monia explosives, which detonate and
have a greafr shattering power than
the "low" explosives. — New York

ENGLISH FEMALE PORTERS.
Mussular Women Carry Heavy Loads
In Co.'cnt Garden Market.
Visitors to Coven Garden market,
the givat tlower market of i.ondon.
wii: i I ih: t in ii'ldijion to much floral
beauty there is a wuolesotne, muscuiar
athletic womanhood that Is good to
look upon to be found among the wom
en porters. The flowers that are sold
in huge quantities in this market are
bought by retail flower dealers, to
whose vans the flowers must be deliv
ered in the surrounding streets. The
work of carrying is done largely by
women, and the Covent Garden -wom
an porter Is one of London's character
studies.
These women, who carry loads of
flowers on their heads, are hardwork
ing, conscientious workers. As a rule,
their hours are from 5 to 0 in the
morning—not long perhaps, but during
that time the women do what might
well be considered a good day's -work.
It is not light work, as a woman por
ter frequently carries two dozen large
pots of plants on her head over a dis
tance of several hundred yards. Light
and heavy loads may or may not come
alternately, but all are accepted cheer
fully. The payment, as a rule, is ade
quate, but depends upon the generosity
of the temporary employer.
The powers of endurance these wom
en possess are quite remarkable, and
the work agrees with them. One wom
an recently pointed with pride to her
daughter, a girl of twenty, with cheeks
glowing with health aud muscles that
would do credit to any Bystem of phys
ical culture. The girl had been deli
cate, but a few weeks' -work in the
flower market caused a decided im
provement. which increased as time
went on.
A somewhat odd recognition of their
work is received annually by these
flower porters in the shape of a shawl
and two nprons each, a gift from the
Duchess of Red ford.—London Mirror.

Laws of Different States
Should Be Uniform
By CHARLES THADDEUS TERRY,
President Commission on
Uniform State Laws
IT is not more liiw, but uniform
law, that our country needs.
The movement rests upon the
proposition that if we are really a
nation there is no reason why imag
inary lines should cut olF in matters
of law one section of the country
from another. The theory is that
if any citizen of this nation is af
fected in his life, liberty, property
or pursuit of happiness bv the laws
of the various states those laws
should be uniform.
EITHER THE STATES MUST
BRING ABOUT SUCH UNIFORMITY
OR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
MUST DO IT. FOR THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT TO DO IT MEANS
CENTRALIZATION AMD ALSO AN
EXTENSION OF THE POWERS OF
THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT BE
YOND ANYTHING CONTEMPLATED
AT THE ORGANIZATION OF THE
GOVERNMENT OR ESTABLISHED
BY THE CONSTITUTION.
Paying Freight on Tons of Water.
Because of the improper dtying of
corn a vast amount of money is wasted
in the payment of freight. The Scien
tific American estimates that 430,0S2
tons of water are shipped with corn
every year. This would fill 14,550
freight cars of 00.000 pounds capacity,
making a train more than 110 miles
long.
Driven to It.
"I've come to kill a printer," said

"Any printer in particular?" asked
