ABOVE THE CLOUDS.
FhIs Il the Special Field Of Natural
IBt'a WorE fer the Cow
eFmAeut.

Theodore Holm, q Dane, for many
years botanist In the National museum
at WashinR tcn, concerns himself only
with things above the clouds. He
makes it his business to probe into the
mysteries Of nature in the remote
heights Of the earth. How plants and
Hche1s grow in rigorous climes, on the
windy rocks Of the snow-capPed noun
tains and in the arctic circle is the
special object Of his research, and the
comparison between plants at the poles
and those on the tops Of peaks is his
special delight. His search for infoTma-
ton has carried him into all parts Of the
world. Three times he has gone into
the arctic circle, many times to Green
land and Iceland, and times without
number to the North Cape and the
LofOten islands. He has climbed the
Norwegian mountains and has strange
things to tell about the plants that
grow on our own Pixies Peak
Il have for long time been studying
the subject Of the fora" said Mr.. Holm
at the Grand Central hotel, "and during
my studies have been in q great many
parts Of the globe. On several occasions
I have been a member Of polar expedi-
tions. In 1928 I was with the Danish
ship Dymphna, which took part IN the
international polar expedition, in which
you viii remember Gen. Greeley took
part. Andre Hangaad was our captain,
and for two years we drifted about the
polar seas, caught in the ice foes. The
Dutch ship Varna, which we met, kept
Us company, sank at the end Of the
second year, but we saved the crew. I
began then, as the agent Of the Danish
government, TO pursue the studies Of
circUmpOlar botany, and since then
have followed the work IN Greenland,
Iceland, America--in fact, all over the
world.
what has most interested me has
been the comparison Of plants found in
the polar regions with those found on
the mountain tops. Ny work lies
wholly above the timber line, and you
viii be surprised to see how many
plants are to be found there. There are
at least 20 species Of towering herbs on
the rocky and snow-cOvered peaks,
some Of wonderful beauty and color.
None Of them grow to higher than an
high, but they are perfect in their
minuteness and Of the most vivid hues.
There is the arctic pink and the arctic
dryas, both Of exquisite shade and
form. The arctic poppy is another
flower worth hunting for on the tree
less slopes, and 50 is the arctic willow.
The little Iycapod Is series Of plant
that Is found in both high and low
places. II is said by most botanists not
to grow higher than 5000 feet. have
found it On the top Of Pixies peak, 1900
feet. There Il is half an inch high.
In Fiodids Il grows eight inches tall.
There Is a miniature clover also to be
found above timber line, and a flower
resembling the forget-me-not, so you
see that the rocks which you are used
to considering barren are by no means
50 to one who has the eyes to look for
the beauties that are there."-Denver

DESTROYING a whole town can rarely DC
used in guns. II Is found that. in addi-
zion To want Of uniformity in action,
the strain caused by such substances
would be far too great in the large
charges needed for heavy guns.
The practical value Of any explosive
depends entirely upon the object TO De
attained. Explosive force is not IN the
least the same thing as explosive effect.
The anarchist, with his little nitrosiy-
Germ bomb comfortably tucked away
in his pocket. may not be abe 10 90
half as much with it in the way of de-
s,royink a building as might be done
under certain circumstances by an en-
tire,y inexperienced person with an
agent of far less explosive power.
II Is therefore difficult thing to
make list of explosives in the order
of their potential energy. Such list
can only be approximate. For example
probably fulminite of mercury IS the
strongest explosive. but. as it is 100
volatile and dangerous for any but
decorating purposes. 1t can only enter
the list on sufferance. Precisely the
same applies to nitrog!ycerin.
This. however. Is the nearest that can
be got to an absolute table:
/ Fulmnite Gun cotton
. Blasting gelatine6 Pierre acid
3 Gellgnite COrdite
Dynamite Gunpowder
There Is very little to choose between
8, 4, ) and as regards power. Gum
powder, 1t will be seen, IS al the bot
tom of the list.
