branches to become gradually woven
together. Above this is smaller Sec

The AcetyQcne BlOyynine.

Recent experience with the acetylene
blowpipe in England has approved it
as Il valuable invention. 1t produces a
temperature exceeding 1000 degrees.
The temperature %producible by the
oxyhydrogen blowpipe. 5000 degrees to
4,5OO degrees. is limited by the
ISOLATION temperature of steam, VII
as with acetylene the limit is that -.
the dissertation temperature Of carbon

acetylene, in Il dissolved state. is used
in conjunction with oxygen. 1t splits
up into it's constituents. hydrogen and
carbon. at the base of the flame. and
the carbon only takes part in the burn

"HEltE is talk at WASHINGTON
about blowing up the powder
trust. 1t any rate. the bills
noW uu,er consideration in
congress wcal. have some such effect
us this if enacted into law. 1t has
been stated Ga the floor Of the house
Of representatives that the govern
men is in the power of a trust. SO
far as obtaining its supply of powder
is concerned. and that in case of Il
war it could not get enough powder
for Il prolonged campaign. as the plants
now in existence would not be able to
provide it. It has been argued that
the government should have q powder
plant of its own and this is contem-
plated in bills which have been intro
duced. Secretary Taft of the war de
partment has notified congress, how
ever, that he would not counsel the
embarkation Of the government in
powder manufacture to such an extent
as to drive lroin business the plants
of Il private character now engaged in
powder making.
The institution commonly called the
powder trust is the company known
rs L. I. Du pont de Nemours Il Co..
The parent plant is in Delaware. but
there are now other plants in various
parts Of the country. The history Of
this company dates back to the begin
ming Of the nineteenth century. and the
Du Pont family has had Il prominent
part in the defense of the nation. The
Du Points have borne themselves gal
lantly in tie fighting. and they have
supplied powder to the government in
three wars.
The founder Of the American Du
Pont family was Pierre Samuel Du
FONT de Nelnours. who was born near
Paris in 1870. He was an %eXpounier
Of the economic system Of Qunsnay and
was secretary of the assembly Of nota-
bles in 1877. member Of the states gen
eral from Nemours in 1883 ana later
was president Of the constituent as

was conservative in his methods and
thus won the hostility of the revolu-

TESTING BIG CHAINS.

Tremendous Strength of Cables Used
ON Ocean Liners.
The firm of Brown, I.ennox 4 Co. OF
Pontypridd, south Wales, recently man-
ufactured the largest cable ever made
for ships use, says the London Mail.
The iron is three and one-fOurth inches
In diameter at the smallest part of the
link. each link measures about twenty
two and one-fourth inches in length
and weighs. with the crucible cast steel
stud. about 100 pounds. The chain Is
intended for the quadruple screw tur
bine driven express steamer which IS
being built for the Cunard Steamship
company.
Recently the last named company
gave notice that 1t required three
links to be tested to destruction. ami
three links We're cut off the cable IS
made and sem by passenger train TO
Lloyd's proving house at Nethcrton,
Staffordshire, the testing machine there
being II of the most powerful in the
country and licensed by the board Of
trade to test chains and anchors OF
the largest sizes. The sample was FIRST
tested to the admiralty proof strain Of
1898 tons. at which strain each link
elongated not quite a quarter OF an
inch. The statutory breaking strain
Of eG5.1 tons was next applied. and the
links were further elongated about
three-quarters Of an inch. After this
an attempt was made to test the sam
pie ito destruction" but the full pow,
er Of the testing machine ut $50 tons
failed to accomplish this result: indeed.
1t Is understood the actual tension APP
piled was over $40 tons. On Il careful
examination no sign of fracture or
defect Of any kind could be found.
The strain applied was about 80 per
cent above the admiralty proof strain.
