The "reminiscences Of the Fan.

After long interval, q long period
OF neglect, the year 1929 saw revival
in the taste for fans. It CHANGED that q
grand ball was preparing at the Tuil-
cries, at which several costume quad
rilles'' were to be danced Madame la
Duchesse de Berri had undertaken to
get up a Louis XIV. quadrille, and
was seeking everywhere-had sought
everywhere in vain--for fans Of that
period. Suddenly some one remem-
bered having seen some old fans in the
shop window Of perfumer named
Vanier, who lived ID the Rue Caumar-
tin. Vanier had collected old fans for
some time as an amateur. His fans
were taken to the palace; il the quad
rifle they created Juror. and were
all purchased. The Duchesse de Berri's
ball began the renaissance Of the fan.

and ill at case she felt among this group
of elegant-looking young girls, who had
been brought in by the preceptress to "get

go away and leave her alone to cry and be
as homesick as she pleased
Their amused scrutiny did not escape her
observation, and their patronizing airs
chafed her over-sensitive soul until, unable
to bear the distress any longer, she broke

cELLULolD PRODUCTS,

They Arc Made of Gun Cotton, Hence
Should Be Used with Care.
Umbrella and cane handles, collars,
cuffs, and scores of other articles OF
convenience, utility and even elegance,
manufactured from celluloid, are in
daily use by large numbers Of people.
The question is asked: '.May they be
safely used?" Celluloid is made from
gun cotton, the powerful and violent ex-
plosiEe compound. Gun cotton is made
by saturating absorbent paper with
a mixture of two parts of nitric acid
and five parts of sulphuric acid. The
cellulose of the paper, derived from the
cellular tissue of the cotton in common
use, is changed by the combination and
becomes gun cotton. To make cellu-
loid, the excess of acid is washed out
by tree use of water, and by pressure
carefully applied. After the removal
of all nncombined acid, it is reduced to
a homogeneous pulpy mass, strained
until it becomes nearly dry, and is
then mixed with about One-third of it's
weight of gum camphor. These ma
terials are mixed as uniformly as pos.
sible by careful manipulation with
wooden instruments, and then by
grinding. The pulp which is turned
out by grinding is spread out and re-
duced to slabs Of various. thickness and
rolled between mrheated rollers,
and then becomes moderately elastic
m strips of medium thickness. In this
form it is worked up into the various
articles which are offered for sale and
use. Although gun cotton is easily
manufactured, its manufactures for ex-
pertinent or for general use is not rec
commended; and. although celluloid ar
ticles may be safely used with ordi-
nary care. a bonfire Of such articles for
amusement is not recommended. No
injuries from such use have been re-
ported. A word to the wise, however,
suffces. American Analyst.

GRlSQNTlTE.

A New Explosive with Some Peculia,
Properties.
The Chronique Industrielle states that
Mr.. E. Muller, of Cologne, has invented .
new form of explosive that fulfills two con.
ditions which are essential in practice, bu,
which, up to the present, have scarcely been
mpatible-ef1ciency and entire freedom
from danger. The uniting Of water with
an,explosive, so as to cool the flames result
ing from defagration, is an old idea, and
some of the processes devised to this effect
have given good results. ~ 49,
The ingenious idea occurred to Mr. Null
Ter to introduce water into the explosive
itself, butin solid form. "a.
Certain salts, as well known, possess the
property Of holding, in combination, in the
state of water Of capitalization, portion
Of the liquid in which they form and are de-
posted, the quantity Of water varying with
the salt. When heated, such salts dissolve
in their water of capitalization, and that
too, usually. at quite low temperature.
Upon being further heated, they lose this
water very easily, and in most cases with.
out the salt being altered.
w it'll proper explosive, the inventor in.
corporates one of such salts in very finely
divided state, and thus obtains a new ex.
plosive, which he calls "gum grison'' OF
"grisontite" (from French grison, ssfire.
damp''), in which the proportion of water
may be graduated at will by varying the
salt or the mixture. The salts best adapted
for this purpose are carbonate of soda,
which has ten equivalents of waste, and sui.
phate of magnesia, which has seven.
Grlsontlte with fifty per cent of salt con-
tains, with carbonate Of soda, thirty-one
per cent. OF water, and, with sulphate OF
magnesia, twenty five and one half per cent.
Numerous experiments made in England
and Germany, under the most dangerous
conditions Of mining practice, have been
crowned with entire success.
Mr.. Muller's invention is rendered COM
plete by q special apparatus for firing, and
by what are called safety matches, these
being surrounded by wire gauze, which per-
forms the same Office as the WIRE gauze of q
miners safety lamp. With these matches,
there is no danger of setting fire to the gas
that may exist in the surrounding atmos-
phere
