The sky with its beauty; our heart

To the low, sweet chant of it's wind

And the chorus of all its clustered

Embrace it, 0 mothers! and heroes
shall grow,
While its colors blush warm on your

Defend it o fathers; there's no sweet

Than to float its fair folds with a sol

And love it, o children! be true to

Who wove it in plain by the old camp

THE BIRTH AND UTILIZATION or
DYNAMITE

Forty-six years ago today the first
official test of dynamite in England
was made. The hills around Mers-
than shook beneath the mighty VI
brations of a new explosive born to
civilization. 1t had been discovered
by Alfred Nobel of Sweden and its ex-
detrimental tests made in the proceed
ing year. Nobel created it to take the
place of the untamed nitro-glycerin
which had appalled, the world for sew
eral years with its grim tragedies.
The inventor had lost his father and
a brother when his nitro-glycerin fac
tory had been blown up a few years
before his discovery, It's death toll
was such that England, Belgium and
| Sweden forbade its manufacture. The
world was aroused when as a climax
to it's record a ship loaded with nitro
gIycerin blew up in mid-ocean while
on it's way from Europe to Chilli, and
the governments were on the point
of prohibiting it's use. 1t was then
that Nobel began his experiments to-
ward tanning nitro-glycerin-and Gre
ated dynamite, or giant powder" rs
it was first called in the United States
In his, worldwide propaganda to con-
vince governments that dynamite was
! a safe explosive, the inventor came to
America. 1t was while he was regis
tering at a small hotel in New York
that he casually exclaimed to the ho-
tel clerk that his satchel contained
dynamite. The clerk firmly ordered
Nobel to seek other quarters, and was
relieved when he went out of the door,
Today dynamite is being manufac1
tured in the United States at the rate
of 50,000,000 pounds a year. Filling
5000 freight cars, it is constantly be-
ing transported over the railroads of
the country. Though it is the third
most powerful explosive in general
use, it has been tanned so that railroad
companies receive it for ~transporta-
ton almost as readily as they do coal.
Nitro-g1ycerin, however, is still under
the transportation ban in both the
United States and Europe. Dynamite
today is one of. the most important
factors in the progress of civilization.
Without it the mighty engineering
the Panama Canal, the mountain
and river tunnels-could not be ac-
complished. 1t takes an important
part in building the modnrn sly-scrap-
ers; it is used to mlDc the necessary
huge quantities &c x. II an Their met

that supply heat, light and power, and

we eat-the modern scientific farmer
uses it to pillow his land, its explosions
SCATTERING the sub-soi1 which no pillow
eve reaches. 1t is said to increase
the crops greatly in quality and at by
so per cent. in quantity. Today dyna-
mite is used to fight great conflagra-
tons, to fight wars and to prepare for
a large part of the progress of the
world.

MEANS

The secretary of agriculture esti-
mated the total value of farm pro-
ducts in the United States in the CEN
u year 1910 at ss,s2G. 900. 900. The
July government crop reports would
indicate, upon a similar basis of COM
putation, that the total value of farm
products will this year rise to &c.,
900, 900, 900.
A dollar needs no measure; Ten
billions is better grasped by compari-
sons.
That vast sum would buy all the
real estate in New York and Chicago
at assessed valuations, with some
thing to spare. 1t would pay the huge
and fast-mounting national debts or
xar-obessed France and Germany. IT
would clear off our own national debt
nearly ten times over; or pay its in
terest charges nearly 435 times.
If next years farm products were
to fall off a trifle of $500. 900. 900. the
1914 and 1915 product combined
would still buy every railroad in the
country at the 1911 capitalized valua-
ton. Our iron yield is incompafably
the greatest of the nations; the indus
tries It feeds are called basic. Yet
our iron product is only about one
twentythird part that of the farms.
That produce is fourteen times the
value of our annual output of coal at
the mines. 1t is seventy times the
value of a years yield of petroleum,
parent of some of the worlds most
gigantic fortunes.
For some thousands Of years gold
and silver have been words TO sug-
gest wealth untold. Our farm pro-
duct in this year of abundance will be
seventy-five times the latest report
ed annual product of gold and silver
combined. 1t is greater than the en-
tire worlds stock of coined gold and
silver in existence today, the hoard
ed and almost in~destructible product
of many centuries. 1t is more than
two-thirds of all the gold dug, coined
and consumed in the arts in all the
world since Columbus discovered
America.-World.
