WETTING COAL.
Chemical Reasons Showing How II In
tensifies the Heat.
Boston Herald.

boSlOu I16TdIu.
When the blacksmith desires the
most intense heat of which his forge
is capable he invariably throws little
water upon the coal The same course
Is pursued by the stoker who would
get the utmost from his boilers.
And the poorer the quality of the
coal the more imperative the neces~
sity for wetting it. 1t seems para
doxical, for from the beginning all
people everywhere have regarded wa
ter as the one reliable agency for ex-
tinguishing fire. Such, indeed, it real
ly is If used in proper quantity, as
experience has amply demonstrated
Chemistry explains the paradox very
simply, however, when it informs us
that water is composed of oxygen and
hydrogen in the proportion of tvs to
one. That is to say, in every molecule
Of the fluid there are two atoms of the
former and one of the latter.
Now, oxygen is the chief agent in
combustion. Equalization is syno-
nym for burning. The rusting of iron,
the corrosion of silver and the burn
ing of wood are identical processes,
all due to the agency of this powerful
element which Is so widely distributed
through all nature. To feed oxygen
to flames is to greatly intensity them
therefore. This is exactly what is
done, in fact, when they are famed.
Hydrogen, on the other hand, Is a gas
which burns readily and with the most
intense heat.
Very evidently, If water is separated
into it's constituent elements, the oxy-
gen and the hydrogen, no longer
bound together, are able each to per-
form its natural functions. The for
mer adds greatly to combustion, and
the latter not only burns readily, but
intensifies the heat.
This is precisely what occurs when
a small quantity of water is added to
the coal fed to the flames. There Is
not enough of the fluid to extinguish
the fire. Instead the fire acts upon
the water, dissolving the bonds which
unite its component gases, thus set
ting the oxygen free to accelerate the
combustion and converting the hydro
gen into fuel of tremendous heating
power

GOLD CORD A WAR PERIL
Heavy Losses Of officers in European
War Caused by Badges Of
Rank.

Paris.-One of the earliest lessons
of the war was that of the danger to
officers In allowing them to wear
badges of their rank, gold cord around
their coat sleeves gold decorations
on their headgear, etc., which marked
them out to the enemy's picked shots
and resulted In unnecessary and
avoidable losses among them. This
lesson was learned. and now 1t has be-
come so difficult at the front to iden-
tify an officer that failure to salute
is overlooked on this ground
There seems however, chance that
this danger Is being revived by the
regulations making the wearing OF
chevrons obligatory. These chevrons
are in the form of an inverted V and
are worn on the right arm between
the elbow and shoulder to denote that
the wearer has been wounded, and on
the left to show the length of time
he has been at the front, one showing
one year of active service, two for is
months. They are worn In all sorts
of material and colors, officers wear
ing them in gold and silver. When
worn on leave or during convalescence
their visibility is a good point, but at
the front they draw upon their wear
ers the same danger that badges OF
rank formerly did.
