Is feet, on the site of his late nitro -glycer-
inc works. II is intended SO to model the
new works that by supply Of warm and
cold air, and warm and cold water, with
leaden floor, the risks from splitting nitro
glycerine, and from thawing out when it
has CONCEALED, will hereafter be entirely
removed. At the close of each days
work the last vestiges, whether of nitro
glycerine, acid vapors or waters impreg-
mated with the same, will be entirely
cleared away. About two hours work
every day will be the limit Of manufactur-
ing. Only fifteen minutes Of this time
will be used in handling the explosive
material; the remainder Of the time will
be spent In clearing up and preparing for
the next days run. Thus danger will at
least be reduced to minimum.

drifting behind men of less ability

fewer talents than you possess, are
making the best of themselves p
Think of this. Put the question to
yourself as we put it to you, and
do it honestly. Lock the matter
in the face. Art you making the
best of yourself? If not, begin a
new life at once. Do your best in
evsrything-in your thinking and

lence, and not only will the world
better for yeur having lived In it.
