ACID acted as an explosive.
Plcric acid is made of equal parts of
caroolic acid and sulphuric acid in a
vessel and the temperature raised to
the boiling point of water. At this
point strong nitric acid is allowed to
flow into the mixture, after which the
whole is allowed to cool. A solid mass
OF yellow crystals is left in the vessel
these are filtered and drained and

is picric.
Plcric acid has bitter taste; if han

OF bodies knownas "detonators. F." These
are sensitive bodies which explode with
great violence; and if put in contact

INFORMATION WANTED.

Editors of the Journal In last
weeks issue of your paper, under the
head of local items, there was state
ment that at the next session of the
General Assembly of Georgia, bill
would be introduced, entitled, "An act
to create new charter for the city of
Marietta, and for other purposes"
Will you be kind enough through
your valuable paper to inform the citi-
zens and corporate stockholders of said
city, if that is legal notice. Also, if
the people have no voice in the matter,
but are obliged to accept whatever the
legislature may pass. Also, if there is
no law requiring the advertising what
the new charter may contain, so that
people may be informed as to whether
they desire said change. Also, what
"other purposes" may include?
1t seems to me that every property
owner and taxpayer, who is thereby a
stakeholder in the city of Marietta, is
entitled to know what changes are pro-
posed, and also if the majority of citi-
zens desire them.

Millionaire's Son Who Ran Away
to Join the Navy Now in Irons.

Norfalk, Va, Oct. 1.-Gustave
Fritz Nave of St. Joseph, Missouri,
son of Charles Nave, the multi-mil-
lionaire grocer, has tired of navy
life. He enlisted at Chicago as an
ordinary sailor and was sent here,
and has since been aboard the receiv
ing ship Franklin. In the language
of an officer on the Franklin, he
tried to run the ship"
The record shows that Nave has
been guilty of characterization ,on
many occasions. He was warned
that severe punishment would be his
if he did not desist, but the millionaire
tar paid no attention to the orders.
Nave has been placed in irons aboard
the Franklin and confined in the brig
Nave still denies that he iran away
from home to become a sailor, and
said his action was sanctioned by his
parents. Nave has a million dollars
in his own right. He has been on
the Franklin some months. Nave
says when he enlisted he was told he
would be sent around the world, but
instead he has been kept on receiv-
ing ship.
81 thought they were going to make
sailor out of me, and not a land
lubber," said Nave. CAT this rate

POPE AND OUR COLONIES.
Americas Policy Toward Catholics in
Cuba and Philippines Pleasing.

London, Oct. Archbishop Ire
land, who has arrived here from Rome
on his way to the United States, in an
interview today is quoted as saying;
''In one of the audiences which he
granted me the pope said:
we are well pleased with the
relations of the American government
to the church in Cuba and the Philip
pines. The American government
gives proof of goodwill and exhibits a
spirit OF justice and respect for the
liberty and rights OF the church.
" You will thank in my uamethe
President of the republic for what is
being done.
"When | repeated to Cardinal Ram
polla (the papal secretary of state J.,
my interview with the pope, the car
dinal declared such statements were
what he personally believed and knew
to be true and that ! was at liberty to
repeat them to the American people.
Furthermore, Cardinal Rampolla said
that on no less than three different
occasions petitions had been sent to
the Vatican, in the name of the Fill
pino leaders, asking that direct, Of
fetal relations be opened between
them and the Vatican, but the Vatican
has always refused to listen to such
petitions, out of consideration for
American government"
Archbishop Ireland said he was
glad on the eve of his return to this
country to contradict the statement
that he had wavered in his adherence
to Republican principals.
THE administration, he said,
''has handled the momentous problems
confronting it with sagacity, states
manship and patriotism, and | am
for the party and policy which has
done SO much to justify the estimation
in which our country is held abroad."
