Power of Snow.

Some experiments were made rece Mt
~ in France on the penetrative pow er
of bullets through snow. The results
were astonishing. The Lebel rifle was
used, and at distance of $50 feet the
bullet penetrated only five feet into the
snow target. A bullet from a Lebel rife
has been known, it is said, to go through
a tree of 81 feet in diameter-pre-
euma bly, through the full length of the
diameter. That it should penetrate only
10 inches farther into such soft stuff as
snow seems altogether startling. The
explanation suggested by the expert
mentalists is that the rotating bullet
picks up particles of snow as it goes in.
and so gets "balled," or blocked up.
The result is curious enough to encour-
age further experiment One would like
to know, for instance, whether a non
rotating ball from a smoothbore would
show better penetration. as it should on
the theory advanced. These are not eX
periments without practical value. A
knowledge of the defensive resistance of
a snow wall to be impact of rifle bullets
might be of the greatest value.

Artificial Lake In Kansas.

Through the creation in Kansas of
an artificial lake for the purpose of IT.
rigation the people of the state hope to
have a summer resort, something which
they have longed for. The lake is to BIZ
in the Cheyenne bottoms, is to be IA
miles long and to miles wide and
is to be fed by water from the Arkansas
river, brought through ditch ID miles
lcng. The Cheyenne bottoms are be-
ieved to be the bed of an ancient lake.
and their suitability for the purpose to
which they are to be put was suggested
by cloudburst which filed the depres-
sion with water to depth of seven feet.
1t is planned to build several small
launches on the lake and also to con-
struct drive around the shore, making
it pleasure resort for western and CEN
trail Kansas. The Kansas people have
no body of water that they can reach
without two days travel, and there are
thousands of young men and women
who never saw a lake or a body of wa
ter larger than the Arkansas. 1t is be-
lieved that they will flock to the new
lake in summer to enjoy the luxury of
a real boat ride. The opportunity for
trip IA miles and back will be very at
tractive to them, and il will be unique
in Kansas Hunters also look forward
with interest to the completion of the
lake, for they expect it to become ia
vorite gathering place for ducks.-St

fully $4,000 Acres Cleared Yearly to

The transformation which chemistry
renders possible in some branches of in
dustry, as described by the Chicago
Record, is almost beyond belief. 1t is
fact not generally known that over go
per cent of wood may be converted into
liquid While the strongest hydraulic
pressure would not squeeze from dry
wood one-half of per cent of moisture,
when the same material is put into an
iron retort and converted into charcoal
by means OF heat, the gases and smoke
to the extent of fully 65 per cent Of the
weight of the wood may be condensed
into liquid.
This liquid is known as pyroligneous
acid, and from it are obtained wood
alcohol acetate of lime and wood tars.
A cord of wood weighing 4, 900 pounds
will produce about 1850 pounds of
pyroligneous acid and 700 pounds of
charcoal This amount of the acid pro-
duces 9 gallons of 80 per cent crude
wood alcohol, 200 pounds of acetate of
lime and about rs gallons of tar, be-.
sides 80 bushels of charcoal After the
pyroligneous acid is neutralized with
lime the wood alcohol is distilled off.

fact that it affords perfect substitute
for grain alcohol at less than onethird

According to report just received

1000 and 5000 cabs are there fitted

At first cab proprietors and drivers
were rancorous opponents to the intro

that it contains advantages to all con-
