from "gerbe" to "gerhe" through this
"quick match" that the biggest pic

afiame in every part in three seconds.
There is said to be little or no dan

even in setting off the bombs that ex-

do the igniting. are carefully timed so
that they have plenty of chance to get

The first step in manufacturing lire
works is the making of the cases. or
shells. rs the cylinders or other recep-
tacles in which the explosives and the
chemicals are placed are called. Prac-
tically all of these are made of innu-
meraDle sheets of tissue paper pasted
and rolled together until the thickness
required is attained. Most of these
cases are made by machinery and are
delivered as wanted to the places
where they are to be filed or charged
with the materials that have been pre-
pared. All the charging is done by
machinery except in the big shells that
throw forth sets of stars of varying
colorS. In these each 'star" has to be
placed in certain position so as to
explode in just the right way at the
proper instant.
Out of doors in pleasant weather the

there are innumerable kinds. When
the artist has evolved some striking
color effect he turns over his painting
to the chemists, whose task it is to
combine various combustible ingredi-
entS so as to reproduce what the
painter has put on his canvas. The
race between the art department and
the staff chemists is unending. 1t is
the boast of the chemists that they
can duplicate IN their burning colors
any combination of paints that can be
presented to them.
These colors are impaired by the
heated vapors of certain metals. So
