Nitrate Farming in France
From Public Opinion.

From Public Opinion.
On more than one occasion in the mast
disciples Of the peace movement have da-
clared with more or less conviction that n
hope for peace lay in the ultimate exbaus-
ton OF the saltpeter supply A prime ne
cessity IN the manufacture of guupowder
Is saltpeter-therefore, with the end OF the
supply, and in the absence of substitute
we naturally come 10 the end Of war
But now science has stepped in and. as on
other occasions, has produced a substance
which will not end war but only add %
its horrors Writing in the Correspondent
OF Paris, Henri de ParvilIe says that mod
ern wars and, above all, the recent Russo
japanese struggle, have placed clearly IN
evidence the excessive consumption of pow
der by armies when engaged The supply
or ammunition is soon expended, and ire
quently 1t happens that defeat is the direct
result of this depletion. Therefore, Nm.
Muntz and Lame of the academy of SCI
ences have brought up the interesting ques-
ton OF what would happen to France
case Of war, were she not able TO procure
her nitrate from Peru. Her arsenals would
be empty in few months and supplies
from aboard would be impossible; she could
no longer, as during the wars of the reyo-
luton and the empire, have recourse TO
the artificial manufacture of nitrate by
washing the walls of old caves and stables,
for the supply would never satisfy her
needs. Therefore the situation might be-
come grave. This problem, however, has
been completely solved. appears from q
paper recently sent to the academy by these
two experimenters, treating of method
whereby 1t Is possible TO produce as much
nitrate as necessary at any time. 1t has
been found that the base of production ex-
lists In the incessant labor OF a little
Inicrobe. the activity of which may be util-
lied for this end.
Nitrifcation," NJ de Parville says -
the result of microbic action, the result.
In fact, of process of fermentation. IN
fnitely small creatures store silently and
quickly in the bowels of the earth and IN
the inter which they make. sum of energy
which warfare puts to practical use in ex-
plosions. Formerly 1t required years 10 pro-
duce saltpeter in any appreciable quanti-
ties, but now we may produce enormous
quantities in few weeks by the new pro-
cess of Nm Muntz and Laine. The pro-
cedure consists In flooding a bed OF animal
charcoal with a solution of ammoniacai
salt, afterward sowing this bed with nitric
organisms. This Is all. but the result -
