The Most Powerful Explosive.

Chloride of nitrogen is the most
wonderful, as well as the most powerful
explosive known. For seventy-seven
wears, from 1911 to 1888, the secret of
the composition of this terrible explosive
was mystery. Dulong, who lost one
eve and three fingers in the year 1912 in
vain effort to determine its component
parts, was the first man of scientific at
tainments to give the stuff thought and
study. Later on Faraday and Sir Hum
phrey Davy devoted great deal OF time
and attention to it.
Before entering the laboratory both
Davy and Faraday always provided them
selves with thick glass masks to protect
their eyes from flying pieces of glass,
which were most sure to start on tour
of the room whenever drop Of the dan
cerous stuff was exposed. Faraday once
narrowly escaped death as a result OF
making an experiment with two
drops of the yellow, oily agent Of death
which he had dropped into small silver
thimble prior to making an experiment,
and at another time had his table ruined
and the glass mask on his face broken
into bits by less than one grain of it.
In 1887. as above limited, DIR. Cater
mann of Gottingen, Germany, succeeded
in Analysing the mysterious compound.
1t is the only known substance that will
instantly explode on coming IN contact
with a bright beam of light, whether the
beam he from an electric lamp or the
| sun.-St. Louis Republic.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

As fervor wakes strong it becomes
ardor.
Experience ripens in the field OF en-
deavor.
One cannot show displcasure and hide
his chagrin.
Extremes meet when the cynlc encoun'
tiers philanthropist.
Effort finds congenial companionshlp
when it meets with approval.
He who would better his circumstances
must improve his opportunities.
Because speech has failed it does not
follow that the mind needs be bankrupt.
It is essential that ability be marked.
1t might be lost sight of in the crowd
else.
One trouble with the matrimonial
match is that young people are too apt
to make light of 1t.
1t is safe to say that he who nurses his
wrath does not draw ON the milk of hu-
man kindness for the sustenance.-De-
troit Free Press.

TEACHING HORSES To STAND.

An experienced horsemau gives the
following as his method of training
horses to stand without being tied;, After
young horses have once become bride
wise, first endeavor to teach them the
meaning of every word say to them.
This is not difficult matter, provided
too many words are not used at once.
The first step is to adopt some words,
at the sound of which they are to under
stand they must stop. Words which are
easy to speak, and which can be made
emphatic, should be chosen, such as ''ho, "
''whoa," etc., and every time the word
is spoken he should be made to obey it
fully. Carelessness in regard to this mat
ter will do more to undo what has been
taught than anything else.
When a horse fully understands the
meaning Of the word which you use
when you wish him to stop and stand
still, the greater part of the work is ac-
complished. He can be trusted with
safety while you leave him short time.
Take no risk; aud to make the work
more effective, 1t IS 9ood plan Tor TWO
to get into the vehicle to which horse
is hitched, and having stopped after a
short drive, one should get out and leave
him at short distance. Should the
holse then start, the one III the vehicle
can then draw the lines suddenly, and
thus prevent his getting away.
There will be no trouble IN teaching
any horse with an ordinary amount OF
good common sense to stand as long as
you desire without being hitched, if a
little judgment is used in attempting it.

What The Blind Have Done.

"The blind have done more for the adj
vancement of the world than one has
any iGea of at first thought said Pro-
fessor Herman Amann, at the Southern.
"Have you ever thought of how many of
our great men have been deprived of the
privilege of sight2 Homer got his name
from the Greek word meaning blind
man, yet he wrote the greatest epic
poems that have ever been given to the
world. The fact of John Millions blind
ness is well known. Then there was
Huber, the blind naturalist. 1t seems
astonishing that a man totally deprived
of the use of visual organs shoulu be able
to outstrip every scientist Of his day IN
the pursuit of minute examinations into
insect life, yet Huber did this. He pro-
vided himself with fac optical instru-
ments, and an intelligent, keen-eyed as
sistant, and in this way he discovered
more about the organic structure and
minute physiology OF the bee than all
the savants who preceded him had done
together. His treaties on tae respira-
ton of this insect, how it makes its
honey, wax, ETC., excited the admiration
of the scientific world before it was
known that their author was blind.
John Cough was another blind natural
ist who achieved great deal. Not be-
ing able to use his eyes, he used the tip
of his tongue, themost sensitive part OF
the body, in examining the minute
structure of plants. There was once
blind sailor who could climb the tallest
mast pick his way with ease through the
intricacies of the rigging. On land he
was an organ builder, and did marvellous
work. "-St. Louis Star Sayings.

THE SCIENCE OF BUSTING.

It is a science, since the doctors have
discovered for us that the furnishings OF
our houses are the camping ground OF
lively unknowabIes called bacteria, writes
Helen Watterson. The removal of dust
is, therefore, not only a performance of
esthetic necessity, but of the greatest
sanitary Importance as we'll. 1t Is not
going too far to say that there is just as
much need of classes in the hygienes' of
cleaning and busting as there is of cook
ing classes.
The simple displacement of dust isn't
busting, and the whisking of the feather
buster is no more evidence of cleanliness
than the possession of many books now
adays is an evidence of learning. A
room is busted only when the dust IS
taken out of the room and that is done
only when it has been carried out of the
room. This is done by using soft,
slightly dampened cloth to dust with
and by wiping the surface OF each article
slowly and with care not to throw the
particles of dust up in the air, whence
they will settle again instantly some
where else.
The utility of the feather-duster ez-
cept for walls is to be doubted, and even
for walls soft cloth is better. A thin
silk cloth or a piece of cheese-cloth
makes a good buster. So does a soft,
firm wooden cloth, but linen and cotton
flannel leave lint behind them. One
woman uses all of her worn-out silk
stockings for busting and still another
makes loose mittens out OF old wooden
which she puts on as busters. A turkey S
wing is admirable to get the dust out of
chinks and between rails and chamois
gives last polish better than anything
else. The best polish in all the world
to keep furniture from looking dingy is
the following: Two tablespoontuls
cotton seed oil, one tablespoonful turpen-
tine. Instead of cotton-seed Oil grout oil
and good vegetable oil may be used
This should be we'll rubbed into the
wood and then last polishing given
with chamois. This is the recipe of a
famous furniture dealer in New York.

THE cHURNABILTTY OF CREAM.

Not only imperfect Dreaming is 6
source of great loss by gravity methods
and sometimes by separating, but inper-
feet churning is puzzllng problem. At
times it taxes the utmost ingenuity OF
the butter maker to get as much butter
out of the cream as the tests show he
should get. At a farmers institute last
spring, Commissioner Topper had q
sample of cream with him which the
creamery could not convert into butter.
1t had been churned as usual in the test
churn, then in all the usual ways the
butter maker could think Of. The test
with Professor Patrick apparatus showed
that the butter fat was there, although
churning would not get it out.
So far as we now recall, ali the serious
trouble we had in farm dairying was
with cream from COWS far advanced in
lactation, and no fresh cows cream to
mix in.
But the thoroughness with which the
fat is recovered by the churn has varied
in our practice. Much is still shrouded
in mystery. The temperature for best
results in churnlng varies with the ripe
ness of the cream and with the feed.
Cotton seed when fed to COWS makes a
high churning temperature necessary.
Sweet cream demands several degrees
lower temperature than sour cream.
These few facts have been evolved by
experiments, but there are many cases
where general rules fail to apply. At
present. we know of no better way than
testing the buttermilk and varying the
manipulation of the cream to ascertain
what treatment gives best results in the
particular case at hand.-Rural Life.

TO CLEAN WHITE FURS.

Very few people know how to clean
white furs, and it may, therefore, be OF
interest to learn the method Recommend
ed to Bazaar writer by the famous st.
Petersburg Russia) turrier, CIb4us.
The furs must first be washed with taiIoW
SOAP and lukewarm water, and then
rinsed with weak solution OF
crystals of soda, all the soapsuds beln4
removed from the fur with a hard brush.
Should there be dark stains, such as are
made by carriage grease or other fat sub,
stances, on the fur, it will be necessary
to rub them with benzine few hours
before washing it. 1t sometimes hap
pens that in spite of this treatment the
furs retain a yelowish hue; this can,
however, be removed by bleaching them
in the following manner: While Still
damp the articles must be immersed in
very cold water, in which four pounds
of sulphuric acid OF natron have been
diluted. After an hours soaking, -four
pounds of salic acid are added to the
mixture, which must be we'll stirred.
Whilst the furs are i'll the fluid the yes
sci containing them should be tightly
covered, so as to exclude the action OF
the air on the acids. Lastly, the fur:
must be rinsed several times with pure
cold Water.-Boston Transcript.

Making Gun Cotton.

The torpedo station at Newport, r. l.,
is hard at work, under the direction of
Professor Charles E. Monroe, manufac-
turing gun cotton for the United States
Navy. The Government prefers this ex-
plosive to nitro lycerine, dynamite and
explosive gelatine. Gun cotton is made
by immersing dry cotton in mixture OF
three parts Of sulphurlc acid and one
part of concentrated nitric acid for
twenty-four hours, when it is removed.
The acid is then pressed out, and the
mass converted into pulp, just as rags
are for making paper, and the pulp Is
thoroughly washed, and then may be
pressed and nodded into any shape de-
sired by means OF hydraulic press.
Early experiments in the use OF gun
cotton were dlscouraging from the fact
that it exploded without apparent cause,
but later investigation demonstrated that
this danger was due to the fact that the
acid used in the manufacture was not en-
tirely squeezed out, and resort to the
pulp, making process succeeded in el1nl-
mating the last traces of it. AS prepared
for the United States service torpedo,
the gun cotton is pressed into cylindrical
discs three and one-half inches in diane
ter and two inches in thickness. The
centre is priced for the insertion of the
mercury illuminate detonator. The gun
cotton is wet for safety when put into
the torpedo-cases, and in this state can
be even carelessly handled. 1t is said to
be safer than gunpowder. Not even fire
explodes it as long as the cotton remains
wet. The Newport factory turns out
5000 pounds of the stuff at time, but
the process of making it appears to be
rather slow. An order for 20, 900 pounds
from the Mare Island (Cal.) Navy Yard
is now being flled.-New Orleans

The reason why copper steWpans are
considered desirable is that i'll the first
place they arc more durable, far outlast-
ing any other; and secondly, being
thicker, they cause the heat to be more
uniform, hence they are preferred by our
"cordons bleus." On the other hand,
they require to be frequently retinned,
and become source OF danger unless
kept perfectly clean and bright inside.
For this reason, doubtless. they are much
less used than formerly, which is very
detrimental to the look OF the kitchen

of cheeriness and well being to a kitchen
