When the dye corncrcd by Director
Ralph was sone other small consign-

shipments that had dribblcd
through from Germany to private
dealers. Gradually, however, as the
blockade frightened the outlook for
future supply became darker and
darker. Then it was that the Treas
ury Department called for aid from.
the state Department, the "diplo-
matte annex"
For nearly year the state De-
partment worked to get the colore
through the blockade. First Ger
many had to be persuaded to let the
colors depart and then the Allies had
to be induced to permit the shipments
to proceed without Interference. Final.
w, however, everything was arranged
and a shipment of 10000 pounds went
through. Uncle Sans fun order wa,

drove them from the market. Unfor-
tunately vegetable dyes are not suit
able for use in the manufacture OF
printing ink. Especially does Uncle
Sans stamp and money factory need
in Its business fast colors.' When
YOU bear in mind that Uncle Sam
makes a practice nowadays or laun-
dcring his dirty money and that post
age stamps are treated to repeated
soakings sometimes you will appreci-
ate that the Government requires col
ors that are not only fast as to light
but that are not affected by water OIL
or even varnish.
Uncle Sam, Ink Maker.
1t will. of course, be understood
that Uncle Sans quest is for dry col
ors rather than for ink, because
Uncle Sam makes all his own PRINT
ing inks at the money and stamp
mandatory. Only the very largest
| printing establishments can AFFORD 10
| install ink-making machinery but the
ink required for plate printing'-the
process whereby our currency Is I'M
! pressed-is of special character ana
REQUIRES great care in the mixing. SO
the Government keeps force or thir-
ty men constantly busy preparing INKS
and they do many special stunts IN
behalf of quality such as burning all
the oil that goes into the inks, pre-
liminary process that results In the
loss Of 90 per cent. of the OIL but
Yields infinitely superior ink
That Uncle Sam is mighty busy
little ink mixer will be appreciated
when IT is explained that he turns out
about two million pounds of ink per
year-more than six thousand pounds
every working day. Fourteen buck
cts of red ink (weighing 50 pounds TO
the buckeO are sent every day from
the ink factory to the press room,
where our postage stamps are reeied
off. Fifty buckets of green ink are
portioned out to the pressmen who
work this color and an equal number
of buckets full of black ink are spread
every day upon paper that becomes
suddenly invested with high value In
consequence. Generally speaking,
Uncle Sam puts ten pounds of ink on
every one thousand sheets of stamps
or currency.

color scheme.
The bases" OF all of these colors
arc materials made only in Germany.
Ever since the outbreak Of the war
Uncle Sans chemists have been hard

they have not yet been as successful

there was one man In the United

duty lay right there" This individ-

Director Joseph r. Ralph. with
foresight worthy such a cause and
with ample funds to draw upon, hied
himself to New York and then and
there "cornercd the market" for GER
tain colors. He spent more than $50

turned out he not only saved the day
for Uncle Sam but he saved the gov
eminent around 100000 IN cold cash

would have been called upon to pay

This prompt raid upon the market was
to be sure, sufficient TO keep the big
stamp and currency factory running
for only six months, but it gave the
officials time to turn around, as it
were. Long before the six months
had elapsed they had tried every ex-
pedient to obtain coloring matter.
They had to put up with what they
could get and what they could get was
not always what they would have pre-
ferred but for all the difficulties, the

known as the adrian helmet" - a
head covering which has practically
shut out head wounds. This cap was
designed by a Frenchman who sue

The British army wears a head COW

little different shape. The Italians
are now adding breast-plates and
shoulder pieces as well; 50, after
awhile we will probably find the SOL

genius of the present age has light
ened the weight of this armor without
reducing Its protective qualities so
that the weight does not impede the
movement of the soldier.
AT present the inventors are at
work on something which Is expect ed
to protect the eyes. 1t is said that
already there are more than one hun
dred thousand blind men scattered
over the European continent as a re-
suit of the high explosives used. Huge
steel magnets are to be found in every
field hospital on the continent, and
with the aid of these fragments of
shells and bullets are drawn to the
front of the eye and a smaller magnet
is then used to extract them.

The Old hand grenade has como
back but in a new and more deadly
form. In the early part of the war
the Germans used grenade with n
fuse but this type was only fairly sue
cessful. for according to one of the
soldiers. "If the fuse was too short il
exploded in your hand, and if it was
too long the other follow sometimes
threw it back at YOU" Recently n
German inventor has perfected what
is known as Il mine throWcr. This
instrument will throw a thin iron shell
containing over one hundred pounds
Of explosive and can be fired at a
range Of four hundred yards. Failing
among soldiers or in n trench it's eff
fects are very destructive. The device
works something like the ancient cat
apult.
The French, too, have n number of
curious engines of war. and one which
throws winged torpedo shells is the
invention of a French officer. The
shell is fastened to a wooden device
with a metal spring which when
pulled back and suddenly released
sends the shell through the air, the
wings of the she'll causing il TO keep
a straight course. Another curious
apparatus used by the French is
known as a flare rocket, and in APP
pearance it resembles a common
American Fourth of July sky-rocket.
However, the rocket is filled with n
high explosive which does deadly
work when it falls in the enemy's
camp. There is also a bracelet Pren-
adc--a shell attached to n bracelet
worn by the throwcr. "Py a twist

Luminous balls.
! In order that the enemy may not SUR
prise them at night Frenchman has
invented a special gun for discharg-
ing luminous balls which are employed
to light the battlefield at night AS
much of the actual lighting occurs aft
or dark. number of contrivances
are in use for illuminating the theatre
of war Searchlights of every variety
from the ponderous electric light
which sheds its light for miles to the
small portable searchlights which arc
carried on the backs of the men ara
in use. A young German recently
| turned out compact telephone equip
ment which can be carried by ono
man. A short time later French
! inventor offered q complete telephone
equipment TO the French signal corps
which could be carried about a mans
waist, each article required being fit
ted into a belt.
Inventive genius Is at work on q
contrivance whereby information con-
corning the enemy may be obtained,
such as the eQuipping of carrier pig
cons with cameras which are set to
take photographs at certai- points. A
clever French device for Photographic
ing German positions consists Of
camera attached to a kite. When the
kite reaches u given height the pho
tographs are taken automatically
Frequently the kite is sent up from
an automobile and in this way various
views Of the enemys troops are taken.
The inventors have not confined
themselves to the land forces, but
have worked on invention for the
navy as well. The nets to catch the
submarines off the English coast are
the result of an Englishman's crea-
tive genius. Now comes what Is
known as a submarine chaser"-a
high power launch capable of mount

are about forty feet in length and
