the fighting qualities of the French

from the Belgian frontier to the

they tell in Berlin:

or strata, and the product is easily
mined. The everything strata are pen
etrated by small shafts or drills on
through the natural nitrate beds to
the underlying bedrock or substrata
of clay and gravel. At the bottom of
the shafts charges of powder or dyna-
mite are placed, which, when ex-
ploded break up and scatter the sur
face layers and the nitrate The
fragments of nitrate are then gath
cred from the debris and carried in
carts or small cars to the oficinas. or
factories, which convert the natural
product into the white crystals of nj
trate of soda, sack them, and then
transport them to the nearest port for
shipment.

mand for nitrate will be to make

The employment of boy eeouts In the war opera
ons in Europe need not disturb the lovers of peace
who want to keep immature youth from being in
fected with martial ardor and object military
drill in colleges The boy scouts perform part quite
different from that of the soldier.
It is the business of the soldier to kill or be killed
He is armed and trained for that purpose The boy
scout is trained for objects that do not involve any
killing In warfare he is not brought in contact with
the enemy. He performs many duties that do not
make him in any a combatant In various ways
he can be an invaluable auxiliary In the of the
sick and wounded. He can help the Red Cross.
There are many thousands of boy scouts in Eng

Where is all the raw material COM
ing from for the vast amount of pow
der that will be needed in the great
European war? That is a question
that South America can answer. ac-
cording to a news note in the July
number of the Monthly Bulletin of
the Pan-American Union, Washing
ton, ID. c.
Strange to say, the one country in
the world which in times Of peace
supplies the greatest agent to in
crease the productiveness of the
earth, will now be called upon for
identically the same agent to supply
the means OF, destruction That coun-
try is the Republic of Chile. and the
product which has now assumed such
tremendous Importance Is the nitrate
of soda which 1t supplies to the world.
The nitrate fields of Chile form a
wonderful asset in the national econ
omy and this news note states that
the government will sell at public
auction. on August 10, in the city of
Santiago. certain nitrate lands located
in the Province Of Tarapaca, thus
opening up for development addi-
tional areas containing this remark

The greatest use in recent Years Of
Chilean nitrate has been ito make

pacity 1t has peen a blessing to hu-
manity. The use of nitrate of soda
as a fertilizer, though very general
now, has been known to our civiliza-
| ton less than a century. The story
goes that an old Scotchman who lived
near the present nitrate fields about
1916, spread some soil containing
white crystals over part of his gar
den. Things planted in this particu-
lar spot grew wonderfully. Samples
/ of the soil were sent to Scotland fol-
analysis. and the nature of the sub.
stance and it's value as a fertilizer
was soon established. According tc
tradition. however, centuries before
the Spanish conquest, the Incas OF
Peru and some of the natives of 30,
livia knew of the fertilizing value o.
the white crystals, and are supposed
to have known how to produce then
from the crude material.
