A FACTORY FULL

DYNAMITE MAKERS EAGER TO

MIXING THE EXPLOSIVE

Day j, Group of Shanties in
Jersey ENTHUSIASTICALLY of a
Dangerous Business-Little Dyna-
mite Kept on the Grounds.

Dynamite is peculiar commodity
ard it is manufactured under peculiar
conditions. Uncertainty is the ruling
thing about dynamite, and this domi-
mating feature permeates the whole es-
adjustment. The factory is located
at Gibbstown, N. j., place so small,
and in section of the state so sparse
ly settled that the outside world would
never have heard of its existence, per-
haps, were it not for the dynamite.
Its remoteness from everything was
the reason of the factory being located
there. A branch railroad runs into
the property connecting with the prin-

In the eye and the brain, against ones
will. the case becomes worse. Thus,
one of the most careful of guides In
Maryland was loading some shells for
snipe one afternoon for party of
sportsmen who were coming down that
night. He loaded the powder in first,
and as soon as shell was filed with
explosive he laid 1t aside and went on
with the next. When he had com.
pleted his work of loading the shells
with powder he began at the begin.

barely found room in the shells. and
on investigation found that he mad
loaded each shell twice with powder.
There would have been fine col
lection of sore shoulders and headaches
had he not discovered the mistake in
time.
Apart from mistakes like this the
business of handling firearms is at
tended with danger There is no ele-
ment of safety in explosives They
will do things which no theory or ar.
gument will explain.
In climbing up a hillside the writer
dropped a belt full of 12gauge shells,
fitted with representative primers,
high. AT the bottom was mass OF
rock and as soon as they fell we drop,
ped fiat, expecting that they would ex.
plode. But not one did so. We clan,

for those that had retained their shape
did good service when fired in gun.
Now, one of the men who witnessed
this was In the Adlrondacks deer
shooting that year. His guide whis'
pered to him to load, as deer was
coming. He put two shells into his
gun and closed the breech carefully.
You may imagine that he did it eau.
tiously. IL for no other purpose than
not to alarm the quarry. Yet as the
gun was being closed the action of the
firing pin set Off one barrel and the
deer did not come that way. The gun
was perfect and the firing pin was deli
cate and in first-elass order, II could
not have more than touched the primer
OF the shell. In fact the primer was
hardly denied. Yet it went OF.

this work, machinery is employed to

of research that has a bearing on the
land and it's productiveness. These
efforts are focused, so to speak, at the
Worlds Fair in St. Louis, where a
magnificent demonstration is given of
what the department is accomplishing
to aid the farmer, the stock raiser, the
lumberman, the fruit grower, and all
who derive their livelihood from the
soil. If there are enemies to be
fought, new methods to be learned, the
experience Of other nations to be
drawn upon, here is the place to come
in quest of knowledge.
One of the chief methods adopted to
inculcate truths established by ex-
perience is the effective one of con-
trast. The inquirer is invited to look
on this picture and on that. In this
show case, for example, are apples of
a particular kind grown on sandy soil,

and side by side are apples of the same
kind produced under identical condi-
tions of climate but grown on heavy
clay SOIL Even a child, if asked to
''tale one," will put his hand into the
proper box. Again, there are about
so varieties of Strawberries shown by
means of models that exactly repro
duce size, shape and color. All are
excellent, all are marketable. But the
problem presented to the grower is
which is the one variety that best
suits 1ny climate and my soil? The
department helps him to make the de-
cision on which commercial success or
failure depends. Once more, the ques-
tion may arise: *tHave handled my
fruit properly?" Look on this box of
pears that after gathering were
