hlah Explosives.

Almost without exception, high ex-
plosives are composed Of some organic
substance, which means some form OF
carbon. treated with nitric acid. With
out nitrogen, which is the chief in.
gredient Of nitric acid, it might b
said that there can be no explosives.
Yet by a paradox nitrogen Is one Of
the most inert gases known and tho
chief ingredient of the air we breathe.
Possibly its explosive value arises
from this very inertness; it combines
so exceedingly reluctantly that on
small proyocation the compound
breaks up into gas, giving the enor-
nous expansion needed for explosive

Clay Bird W. Live Bird Speed.
In comparing trap with wing-shoot-
ing the contrasts are what stand out
most prominently. Some of these are
rather interesting to note: The clay
bird is going fastest when 1t leaves
the trap and loses speed very rapidly;
the real bird is going least fast when
It gets up and gains speed rapidly. 1t
il estimated that the former has an
initial velocity Of $50 feet per second,
whereas the real bird starts with only
tho spring impaired by its legs. In
spite Of this tremendous advantage At
the start, however, it is amazing to
500 how quickly the real bird catches
up; clay bird win travel about %
feet the first second and at the end Of
that time . quail flushed at the sans

Why italy. skies Are Blue.

The reason for the intense blueness
for which the Italian skies are noted
ID not because the dust there is finer
than In tho northern countries, but
because in the countries of the North.
due to the greater GOODNESS Of the air,
the vapor more readily condenses on
the dust particles. The dust particles
thus become larger and consequently
not 80 effective in turning back the
blue rays alone. but others are also
reflected and grayish effect is pro-
duced. In the same place the blue Of
the sky may appear bluer at one time
than another. The sky il oftentimea
said to be very blue whom some white
cumulous clouds are outlined against
it. Tho sky 10 then deep blue BY
contrast with the brilliant white.
After . shower, when the lower
