MANUFACTURE OF POWDER. 
Vladivostok papers report that a factory 
at station Sviagin, Siberia, on the Ussuri Rail¬ 
road, is manufacturing “rackarock” in a very 
primitive manner. This factory undertook to 
deliver to the Government ninety tons of the ex¬ 
plosive and was producing it without having 
obtained a permit from the authorities. It is 
said that the explosive is produced by mixing 
potassium chlorate (KCIO3) with red lead 
(PbsOi) and another ingredient similar to pro¬ 
tochloride of iron (FeCh). The mixture is 
packed in paper cartridges. Rackarock is an 
American product, manufactured in New York, 
and was formerly sold in large quantities in this 
district for use in railway construction work, 
etc.—Vice Consul, Vladivostok. 
A TEST FOR DRINKING WATER. 
One of the best and simplest tests is to 
put a pint of the water in a flat earthen vessel, 
evaporate it quickly and scrape the receptacle 
clean of any residue. 
If such residue is white and powdery it 
means lime or gypsum, hence the water is hard 
but safe. A whity green or whity yellow gum¬ 
my residue is suspicious. Burn it, and if it 
turns black, giving out the smell of burned 
feathers, the water is contaminated with animal 
refuse and a likely breeder of typhoid.—Chris¬ 
tian Herald.
