The Scented Court.

The rage for perfumes reached its
height during the reign of Louis XIV.
Throughout the continent his court
was known as the scented court" 1t
was then the custom when giving a
large entertainment for the hostess to
inform her guests what particular odor
she would use for pertaining her
rooms. and each guest would use that
odor In making her toilet. At court q
different perfume was used for each
day Of the week. Much more attention
was paid to the use of the perfume
than to soap and water, and cleanli-
ness was not numbered among the yir-
tues Of that age.

GUN COTTON.
a Peculiar 6hsfaetsristis ~ This Ter.
rlsls Explosive.


rtsis Explosive.
Many and odd are the materials en-
tering into the manufacture u modern
explosives. but perhaps The most inter
estiug % all these elements OF destruc-
ton as well as the Simplest Is gun cot
ton. The gun cotton manufacturing In
uustry Is large. aS enormous quantities
are used In the charging Of torpedoes
and for similar purposes.
The base Of KUN cotton Is pure raw
cotton or even cotton waste. such as Is
used to clean machinery. This is steep
ed in a solution Of one part Of nitric
and three parts Of sulphuric acid. IL Is
the former ingredient that renders the
mass explosive. the sulphurie acid be-
ing used merely To absorb ali moisture.
thus permitting the nitric acid 10 com
blne more readily with the cellulose Of
the cotton.
After being soaked for several hours
in the solution described the cotton
is pissed between rollers to eXpel
all nonabsorbed acid, process carried
TO completion By washing the cotton in
clear water. This washing process Is a
long one, requiring machinery when
reduces the cotton To mass resem-
bling paper pulp. Should any nonab-
sorbed acid be allowed TO remain II
would decompose the cotton.
IL the explosive is to be used after

Is pressed into cakes Of various shapes
and sizes-disk shaped. cylindrical. fia'
squares and cubes. When not com

A peculiar characteristic OF this ter
rible explosive Is that a brick OF II
