WAKING DREAMS.

A Long Series Of Events Can 10
Crowded Into Few Seconds.
It is more than likely that the great
majority Of dreams belong to the few
moments when we are falling of to
sleep and the equally brief time we
take to wake up. In fact, nothing Is
more fully established than the fact
that an apparently long dream can un.
fold itself in an infinitesimal space OF
time
Alfred Maury relates how he had q
long and vivid dreatn of the reign of
terror In France. which included his
trial before the revolutionary tribunal
and his execution. He actually felt
the guillotine fall. Yet that dream
from beginning to end was actually
caused by the fall Of a curtain rod
which struck him on the neck and
woke him up. The whole lengthy
dream lasted really a couple Of Sec
onds.

Growing Older.

As see 1t, growing older Is the proc
ess Of the reconciliation Of the spirit to
life. Living IS simply getting acquaint-
ed with the world we live in. The real
purpose Of body is that it shall be
used up, worn out-and then thrown
away-in feeding the spirit. Whatever
happens to you in the outer world
translates itself finally into such sub.
stance. That, is what It Is for, just as
the purpose Of food Is not to look pref.
ty on china plates. but to be trans
formed into blood and muscle. 1t IS In
the natural order Of things that the
body should be thus used. and exhaust
ed. The unnatural and horrible thing
Is that the body should be worn out
and yet the spirit remain unnourished.

Tihskan Penal Code.

The Tibetan penal code is curious.
Murder Is punished with fine vary
ing according to the importance Of the
slain, theft by fine Of seven to one
hundred times the value Of the article
stolen. Here, again, the fine depends
on the social importance Of the person
from whom the theft has been commit
ted. The harborer Of thief Is looked
upon as q worse criminal than the
thief himself. Ordeals by fire and by
boiling water are still used as proofs
Of Innocence or guilt, exactly as was
the custom in Europe in the middle
ages. And II the lamas never infict

HIGH EXPLOSIVES.

Making Them u Vary Delicate and
/, Complex Process.
Almost all the high explosives have
cotton as their base. 1t is true that
very good sporting powder can be
made from wood pulp; but, US the ed
itor Of Nature remarks, "the artillerist
would be in great difficulty If he were
provided with such a propellant. be-
cause in order to obtain any sort Of
regularity the nitration Of the wood
pulp has to be kept at a, low point, and
the ballistics. on which the artillerist
depends, would be quite thrown out"
High explosives are cellulose highly
nitrated-that Is, highly charged with
nitrogen. This process consists of i'm
mersing cotton waste chat has been re-
peatedly teasled, picked and dried) In
I mixture Of nitric and sulphuric &C.
ids, In the proportion Of II per cent
sulphuric acid. Fl per cent nitric acid
and per cent water. After the acids
have acted for the required time they
are removed. The cotton Is washed
repeatedly and boiled several times in
water. 1t "a then pulped, partly dried
and pressed into molds.
The manufacturer does his best to
regulate his output, 90 that it shall con-
tain approximately eleven molecules Of
nitrate to the quadruple molecule Of
cellulose, as shown in the formula, or
a content of nitrogen that ranges be-
tween 1898 and 1906 per cent
The process Is delicate and complex,
for the proportions Of acids and water
must be exact and all must be chem
ically pure. Besides this, the cellulose
must be of uniform grade, which is a
most difficult thing to obtain.

when suddenly an immense bear rose

There was no hesitation. To run

instant there was tremendous splash,

FLYING BULLETS.
AZ High vsIoeitiss Army Rifle Missiles
Make Queer Sounds.


There is but one sound plainly audi
bic from a flying bullet. and this is au-
dible only when the bullet travels at
high speed, at the rate of 1900 feet per
second or more. sa'." 49, 5st
Missiles from all army rifles of mod
ern times, which vary in velocity from
1900 to 5000 feet per second, create
vacuum Immediately behind the bullet.
The result Is sharp crash as the bull
let passes, caused by the air closing
rapidly in behind the bullet base.
At considerable range two distinct
reports. are audible to the person by
whom the bullet is passing. At 700
yards the sound may be described pho
netically as "pack-punk." The first
sound comes about three-quarters of a
second ahead of the latter in the case
Of the United States army rifle, the
new Springfield. The velocity Of this
rife Is 2,7O0 feet per second at the
muzzle.
The first sound is that of the bullet
passing through the air. 1t is like moth
Ing SO much as long and very violent
" cracked blacksnake whip. The sec.
0nd sound comes about three-quarters
Of second later. It Is dead, heavy
and Is more like q thud than the
''crack" Of rifle. s@" s@@
The difference in the time Of the two
sounds Is because the bullet travels
much faster than sound. Noise pro-
crosses at the rate Of about thousand,
feet per second. Outing.

 roe county is we'll adapted to
 this cotton. 1 have noticed that a very few have tried to raise an
 extra long staple variety; this is wrong; first because the yield per acre is light and second
 because the ordinary gin is not prepared to handle or gin it as it should be in order to secure the premium.
 1 have had many letters and calls over the phone asking me when the cotton market was go- ing to advance above the ruling level. To all such inquiries I can only say that my judgement of the future course of the market was based on the size of the crop and the amount required for needs for the world. or in other words, supply and demand. Every Government report and every private report has fully sustained my ideas as to the crop and recent figures have placed the rate of consumption at greater figures than l had forecasted. My idea in the early part of the season as that the domestic consumption would be seven millions of bales and ex- port eight million. In a recent issue of of one of the leading textile Journals, the domestic consumption it is asserted will run seven and one half million bales and probably more; ex- porters will require at least eight million bales which makes a total of fifteen and one half million bales; this is to be SUD- piled by the present crop of, according to to the Government report, slightly more than eleven millions of bales, with the carry over from last year of two and one quarter million bales, or not quite thirteen and one half millions of bales.
