AN ELECTRIC sLEAcHER.
Apparatus by Which Flour Is whiteNed
az Il Passes Through Chamber.

A form Of apparatus for whitening
-four by means Of products nj the
electric discharge is described In
Electrochemical and Metallurgical In
dustry. Says the writer:
"A current Of air is passed through
chamber containing long. high
voltage continuous current arc, AID
this air is then used for treating -four
in an agtator The result OF this
treatment is that the -four emerges
AS TO the rationale OF this process
from the agitator with considerably
whittier color"
with the largest size, about 80
sacks OF -four can be treated per
hour. In the type OF machine shown
in the illustration double.actlng
pump draws air through a chamber In
which there is an electric arc. As
the air flows through, the upper cleo.
trode rises, gradually lengthening the
arc until II goes out. when the opera.
ton is repeated The bleaching &C.
ton is thus explained:
It is to be remarked that in this case
arc discharges are employed so that
probably compounds of nitrogen and
oxygen are formed in the air and the
bleaching effect Is due to these com.
pounds. Essentially different from
this method are those processes Cpro.
posed by others in which ozone is
used as bleaching agent and is pro.
duced by the silent electric discharge
through air. s. Letham claims that
the best results are obtained by
treating the afr successfully first by
the silent electric discharge and then
by an arc discharge. Methods OF
this kind for whitening -four are re.
ported to be in commercial use TO
some extent in the middle west and
south, but no exact information is
available

New Army Bullet

New Army Bullet
II would seem that in the type of
bullet about to be adopted by the
army there is potent argument for
peace. This bullet is n third light
er than any now in use, but IL is
most deadly Its penetrating power Is
such that at a mile II would pass
through 10 men, IL these had the
mischance to stand in line In front
OF It. At short range. says the Phila'
delphia Ledger, 1t will so through 80
inches OF seasoned oak. At 500 yards
30 inches OF white pine fail to stop
II, and at 1000 yards It is equal TO
piercing liia inches. The day when
safety lies in lodging behind a tree
appears TO be passing. The strong
point about this admirable bullet Is
the dat trajectory. With the present
style Of bullet, fired at target 1000
yards distant one could stand with
perfect immunity at many points De
tween the muzzle and the target, as
at 80 yards the missile would pass
II feet over his head. The new bul'
let shows a ten.foot rise at this dis
lance Almost the entire space
between muzzle and target would be
zone Of danger Only one fault Is
found by experts with the modern bull
let and this is q lack OF accuracy
They think this may be overcome,

ALMOST FROZEN IN
REFRIGERATOR CAR
Youth Rescued at Logansport
After Being Confined for
Niney-Six Hours.
WAS STEALING A RIDE
SAID HE HAD GOT IN THE CAR AT
CLAY CENTER, KANSAS, AND
WAS ON HIS WAY TO PHILA-
DELPHIA.

Logansport, Ind, July 13.-Luck
was with Grant Meals, twenty years
old, son of a dealer in country produce
at Clay Center, Kas., when a broken
seal on a refrigerator car attracted
the attention of the railroad police in
the Wabash yards here yesterday. No,
ticing the broken seal, the officers
opened the car to make an investiga,
ton, when young Meals, almost fro
zen and starved, emerged from the
car. But for the broken seal the car
would not have been opened until it
reached its destination at Philadel
phia, and by that time Meals probably
would have been dead.
The presence of Meals in the car
was the strange feature of the case
After being taken from the car and
placed on a truck in the sunlight he
soon revived and told an unusual sto
ry. Asserting that he was the son OF
a produce dealer at Clay City, he
said he conceived the idea of making
trip to Philadelphia in the refriger
ator car, which was loaded by his
father with eggs for the Philadelphia
market. After the car was loaded the
boy had several of his fathers men
lock him inside, provided with provis
ions, consisting of six bottles of wine
lantern, Ratchet and an alarm
clock.
He calculated that it would take
four days and nights to make the en-
tire trip to Philadelphia, but when the
car reached this city it was already
that long on the road, with prospects
of not reaching Philadelphia for sew
eral days more. Five of the wine
bottles were empty and small guam
tity of wine was left in the sixth, but
Meals was almost famished with
thirst The alarm clock was taken
along so that in the darkness he
would be able to count the days OF
his strange journey.
When Meals was taken from the
car, the daylight, which he had not
seen for ninety-siX hours, almost
blinded him. He was taken to police
headquarters, where a charge of train
riding was placed against him, but aft
er he told his story he was released
Meals was we'll supplied with money
and after recuperating here, left on 8
passenger train to continue his trip tc
Philadelphia.
