DANGEROUS FELT HATS.

A Disastrous Experiment With One
Used for Straining Nitro.Glycer-
Inc.
Everybody knows how terribly ex-
plosive nitro-glycerine is under con-
CUSTOM" said a dealerin oil we'll sup
plies from Bradford, Pa, "but few
know the lasting properties of the ex-
plosive, and how next to impossible it
is to destroy it's deadly qualities. In
manufacturing nitro-glycerine one of
the processes is to strain it through
felt, usually through the crowns of
old felt hats, they having been found
not only the most convenient and ef-
fective for the purpose, but also pref
cradle for economy. This felt is burn
ed after using, to do away with all
danger that undoubtedly would result
from careless handling of it after
wards.
"At one OF the factories in the north
ern oil field ice an employee resolved
to test the life of nitro-glycerine, and
he took q hat crown that had been
used as astrainer, washedit thorough
ly and then put it through a course of
treatment with alkalis. He laid the
felt away on a shelf out of the reach
and knowledge OF any one else in the
factory. It lay there two years, and
one day the man happened to think
of it and tookit down. Workers about
nitro-glyeerine are VIGOROUSLY reck-
less, but the most careful and timid
man would scarcely have had any
fear of this two-year-old strainer, es-
pecially after the treatment it had re-
ceived. The workman. had no idea
that there could possibly remain in
the felt the slightest suspicion of dan
ger, and to show that the stuff had
been annihilated he put the felt on the
iron arm on the timers bench, where
the cans for holding the explosive
are soldered, and struck it with a ham,
mer. The result was a surprise to
that factory. An explosion followed
that broke both arms ofthe workman,
stunned three other men, hurled the
heavy iron arm through O. two-foot
wall, and wrecked the thinning shop.
"Nitro-glycerine can't be annihilat-
ed, and from the careless in
which it has been handled ever since
it came in use inthe oil regions it is q
wonder that there is q town standing

AMMONIA IN BAKING POWDER.
Before the American
! Chemical Society.

Discussion Before the American
Chemical Society.
To the Editor OF The Tribune-Sir:
l have just seen the report in your
issue of Sept. 3 of the discussion at
the Washington meeting of the
American Chemical Society, Aug. Is,
relative to the use of carbonate of
ammonia in baking powders.
This report is incomplete and in
correct in many particulars, and as
the paper Which precipitated the dis
cussion was read by me and was
based upon my own experiments, I
desire to make certain corrections in
the interest of the truth and for the
benefit of the large number OF your
readers to whom the question is one
OF great moment.
The paper as read before the society
related that ammonia in baking
powder is retained in the bread by
reason OF it's affinity to the gluten.
The consensus of opinion as expressed
during the discussion was against the
use of carbonate of ammonia in
baking powder withthe only exception
of DR.. McMurtrie, who is now an
employe of a baking powder company
which uses carbonate of ammonia in
it's baking powder.
OF the other parties mentioned as
having taken part in the discussion
were Prof: DR.. Barker OF the Universe
ty of Pennsylvania, who is the Presi-
dent of the society and one of our
highest authorities. In answer to a
pleading by Prof. McMurtrie that on
ly small quantities of ammonia were
used in baking powders, he stated:
"No matter how small the quantity,
l must decline to be dosed medically
without my consent when taking my
meals"
. DIR. E. H. BARLEY, formerly chemist
of the Brooklyn Board of Health and
Professor of Chemistry at the Long
Island College, likewise named, did
not, | believe, take active part in the
discussion, but is already on record
as strongly opposed to the use of am
monium carbonate in bakingpowders.
DR.. Richardson volunteered only
the question whether the -four used in
the experiments vas of good quality,
of which I assured him by statingthat
it al the best and the -four used in
my family.
Prof. Mallet was not present.
Your article is misleading in so far
as it gives the impression that am
MONA disappears on baking. My
actual tests agree with those made by
others, showing that ammonia re-
mains in the bread. My Investigations
simply assign a new cause for it's re-
tention.
H. ENDEMANN, Phi. D.
New York Tribune, Sept. II, 1891.
Note-Dr. Endemann, the writer of
this communication, is we'll known in
scientific circles, and was for twelve
years chemist of the New York Board
of Health.
The Baking Powder company above
referred to is the Royal Baking Pow
der company of New York.
And the employe, DR.. William Nc
Murtrie, who defends that company's
use of ammonia, is their much adver-
tised Government Authority.

Life at yassar College,

Social life at Vassar presents many in
teresting phases to the 1870 new students
who have this year entered its freshman
class and are being initiated in the vari-
Gus clubs and societies of the students.
Politics is paramount in interest at
present, and the students are arrayed in
opposing factions, supporting Demo-
cratic or Republican platforms. Mass
meetings are called, clubs organized,
committees appointed and constitutions
formulated, and party spirit runs high
in this little world of women. Contrary
TO the time honored customs of hazing
and PUSHES" the students at Vassar
welcome all newcomers with most cor
dial hospitality, each girl cavalier invit-
ing and escorting one or more of the new
girls to the first reception given in their
honor not long after the opening Of the
term. The three dramatic chapters at
the college gave on Saturday evening a
succession of farces, followed by sup
per, to the newcomers To these his
trionic revels only members and invited
guests have admittance.
The new buildings on the campus are
now rapidly progressing toward com
pletion. The laboratory appointments
have been increased by two large rooms,
one entirely free from iron for electrical
work, and by individual apparatus for
each student. A new scholarship Of
$50 has been founded by Mr. Spring,
of Chicago, in memory of his daughter,
former student.
The interest in athletic sports is at
tested by the enlargement of the skating
rink to three times its former size, by
new tennis courts, and by the increased
number Of wheels and their enthusiastic
riders. Altogether this, the first of our
wOmen's colleges is in most encour-
aging state of general activity, prophetic

This she did so successfully that

WOMAN'S WORLD.
COLUMBIAN UNIVERSITIES DECISION
TO NOV ADMIT WOMEN.

Life at vsssar Coiiege--A Girls Brave
Deed-Matinee Girls mt the Food Show.
Broke the Deadiock-Miss Nortb's Ro-
mance-TimeIy Notes About Women.
The old discussion concerning the adj
visibility of woman's acquiring the art
of Galen and Hippocrates, of Aspasia
and Bucca, has been reopened by the re-
cent decision of the Columbian univer-
sity at Washington to no longer admit
women to its medical department. An
offer, financially backed by Gardiner
Hubbard, to put up fine physiological
laboratory and give it to the college on
condition that the decision be withdrawn
has been fatty declined.
The argument advanced by the faculty
that the teaching of men and women
together in medical classes is demoraliz-
ing to both is rather weakened by the
fact that at all clinics women nurses are
present and assist at operations of every
kind, imparting an atmosphere Of re-
finement and seriousness quite percepti-
BILE Immediately on their appearance.
The other theory, that women do not
possess quality of intelligence that
fits them for study with men, has been
refuted by the higher average of women
in examinations and the greater number
of honors secured by them, due to the
fact that they are exceptional women,
inspired by serious ambition and interest,
contending with the ordinary run of
men-at least, so claim the men.
Consequently the faculty has fallen
back upon the old excuse that the adj
mission of women to the classes keeps
men away from the college, and that the
step was taken because it was not de-
sirable to turn that institution into r
female seminary"
However, this defeat is one which can
be well endured, considering the great
advance of the educational movement for
women along all lines, and particularly in
the study of medicine. New York, Phila-
delphia, Baltimore, Cincinnati and Chi
cage have medical schools exclusively
for women; the medical department Of
Johns Hopkins is open to them; nearly
all the western colleges admit them, and
two other Washington colleges receive
them on equal terms with men. Paris
offers every facility to women. Germany
admits them TO her institutions, though
not allowing them to sign their own pre-
scriptions.
1t is an interesting and pertinent fact
that though men students now treat
women with a fair degree of considera-
ton medical instructors the world over,
and particularly in Germany, are still
hostile TO the SO called invaders. pre-
senting all subjects Of delicate nature
