''It is the best patent medicine in the world" is what Mir. E. NJ. Hartman, of Marquam, Oregon, says of Chamber lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhea Remedy. What leads me to make this assertion is from the fact that dys. entery in its worst form was prevalent around here last summer and it never took over two or three doses of that remedy to effect complete cure. ?

MAKING GUN COTTON. 4
Process for Transforming Ordinary Cotton
Into an Explosive.

Process for Transforming Ordinary Cotton
Into an Explosive.
Gun cotton is nothing more than
pure raw cotton, or ordinary cotton
waste, STEPPED in solution OF one part
nitric acid and three parts of sulphuric
acid. The nitric acid is the one which
renders the cotton explosive, the pres
ence of the sulpuhric being required
only to absorb the water, thus allowing
the other acid to combine more readily
with the nearly pure cellulose of which
cotton consists. After the cotton has
soaked in the acids for several hours
it is taken from the pots and squeezed
through heavy rollers to extract all
the superfluous acid which it had not
absorbed. Then it is washed carefully
and thoroughly, still with the same OBJ
iect of removing the free acid. If any
of this remained its tendency would be
to cause chemical chances in the gun
cotton and decompose it.
After being washed, the gun cotton
is passed through a machine similar to
that which grinds up the rags in pa
per mill. Here it is crushed thor
oughly and afterward washed again
until the last trace of free acid dis
appears when the cotton comes out in
the form of a soft white pulp closely
resembling the pulp of which paper is
made. This concludes the process Of
actual manufacture, and it now re-
mains only to convert the gun cotton
into the most convenient form for the
use to which it is to be put. If it is
to be employed in making powder it is
dried and stored away in pulverized
form, but if it is designed for filing
torpedoes, it must be compressed to a
certain density and nodded into the
shapes which will best enable it to be
packed into the torpedo heads. These
shapes vary according to the design of
the torpedoes and the method of pack
ing. Sometimes they are disks and
sometimes cylinders, fiat squares or
.cubeS
