NITROGEN MUST BE FREED
Inert Element Breaks It's Chains
When Confined in Com
pounds.

When left alone 20 its natural func-
tons nitrogen pursues a perfectly
peaceful course. but when man sue
ceeds in capturing it and combining
it with other elements, it becomes a
dire potentially for evil, as is OBJ
viOus in the recent events of the war
jn the far east and in the crime in the
streets of Moscow.
The love of freedom, so to speak,
characteristic of nitrogen, is terribly
exemplified in the explosion of the
bomb in which it is imprisoned and
buund to other elements. On the
slightest provocation--a spark, a shock,
a fuse-the nitrogen suddenly expands
from seemingly nothing, as regards the
space it occupies, into infinity. This
is In reality what happens when dy-
Mantle, lyddite or other unstable nitro
compounds explode when hurled in
shells in warfare and in bombs in des-
perate attacks on human life.
Nitrogen, against its natural DISPOSE
tion, is locked up in al uncongenlal
space in these compounds, from which
1t is set free by simple means in an
enormously expanded gaseous state
with deadly effect. returning, in fact,
to It's normal peaceful mission once
more. 1t is the analogue of the sword
and the p~lowshare; in the nitro
explosive nitrogen IS the modern en-
CINE OF warfare and crime. In the
free state in the atmosphere it minis
tiers directly to the quiet and peaceful
needs of plant and human life.

right which gives him the right to use

and hates with fierce intensity, and if
there is anything on earth he hates it is

his Innermost soul, and with a bitter

he despises them. A highly sensational
and startling melodrama has been
written dealing with these peculiar
people and the revenue officers. Each
succeeding act grows with intensity,
and the climaxes and scenic effects are
a marvel of stage craft. The comedy
is wholesome and enjoyable. for what
is more amusing than the doings and

Ben Davies.

Ben Davies, the great Welsh tenor.
who sings in Salt Lake this week, has
had an interesting musical career.
Born in 1858 he lost his father at the
age of years, two years after young
Ben had begun to sing. At the age of
s he was a member of a choir that
competed for prize at an Eisteddfod
at Carmarthen. At an early age he
Joined the choir of the Congregational
chapel at Cwmbwrla as a boy alto:
he never sang soprano. Ever since he
was 10 years old he has earned his own
living. Before becoming a concert
singer he was a clerk in a store in
Swansea, Wales, where he worked un-
til he was "a In 1873 he paid his first
visit to London, as a member Of the
South Wales choir. 1t was at the age
of 19 that young Davies suddenly dis
covered that he possessed a tenor"
voice. He then went to London, where
he studied at the Royal Academy of
Music, on the advice of the late Brin-
ley Richards. He remained at the
academy three years, at the end of
which time he took the gold medal and
a year later was graduated with the
highest hOnOrs. Other prizes he won
We're that for declamatory English
singing and the Parepa Rosa gold
medal. Both of these were given by
the Royal academy. HIS f1rSt OratOrfO
engagement was in 1879, when he sang
the Hymn of Praise" Then followed
numerous appearances with the most
prominent English societies, for at his
first appearance he had made a fine
success. After this his success grew
until ne was looked upon as England s
greatest tenor, and with this acknOwl-
edgment he first came to this country
in 1898, when he was engaged to sing
at the worlds fair in Chicago. Critics
proclaim him the greatest tenor now
before the public, and as such has al
ways been looked upon both in this
country and in Europe.
Mr. Davies appears in the tabernacle
on the evening of Friday next. His
tour of the United States is under the
direction of Henry WolfsOhn. He will
be heard with such important Organi-
cations as the Boston Symphony. the
