Danger from Moving Picture Films.

Danger from Moving Picture Films.
Letter to New York Times)
I have noticed number of times
lately that some children around Long
Island City are in the habit Of playing
with strips of moving picture film,
quite innocent Of the dangers that Turk
therein.
I recently purchased q home outfit
and a lot Of film for the amusement Of
my children. Some Of the Aim got
slightly damp and stuck to the cogs Of
the machine. The local cinema man
advised me to dry it in a warm place
at gentle heat. I tried to. I placed
the film on an old stove which had been
The heat was not greater than one
could bear with the hand. Ten min
utes later q terrific explosion shook the
place. and pieces Of metal rained all
over the house, breaking a number Of
windows and soaring the neighborhood
out of it's wits. When I went out to
see what had happened the stove had
vanished and also considerable part
Of the shed it was in, and there was a
hole as big as bucket in the ground.
Luckily, no one was hurt because no
one was there. otherwise the explosion
might have had dire consequences.
This happened some months ago. Since
then have found out that it is manu-
featured in almost the same manner as
guncotton, and that under confinement
and at high temperature is almost as
dangerous.
Orange Peel Oil is Explosive.
From the Popular Science Monthly.
Everybody knows the flavor Of
orange peel, but not everybody knows
what causes that flavor. It is due to
the oil contained in little cells. in the
rind. If the peel is bent so as to
strain these oil-laden cells. the oil
bursts out. often as visible spray and
usually perceptible to our sense Of
small, and often as a greasy film on
the fingers.
The peel NAY be so bent as to rup-
ture large number Of these cells at
one time, and to fill the air with an
oily mist. If, at the moment Of bend
ing, lighted match be applied by an
assistant a decided explosion will fol-
low. This experiment is most sue
cessfully performed in a darkenei
room or in a room wholly dark except
for the light from the match.

Whom earonets Wsrs Bold.

It was in the reign Of good King
James that baronets FIRST came into
existence. Today you could hardly tell
baronet from a banker. But In tho
year 1911, when James I. needed ready
money and created 200 little barons"
to supply him with cash, they swag-
gered about in their baldrics and SASH
es and behaved In the courtliest Of
fashion. Each baronet in order to
justify his title had to maintain a
small army Of thirty soldiers for three
years. In this way the crafty king
not only increased his revenue, but
actually ightened his expenses.-Lon-

Geologic Surveys.
(Cciorrol ....

Norh Carolina was the first state in
the Union to recognize the need OF ge-
ologic surveys within its borders. In
1923 an act Of the general assembly au-
thorized the board Of agriculture to
pay the expenses Of geological excur-
sions for a period Of years. as result
Of which several geologic reports in the
state were published. South Carolina
was quick to follow the example of her
sister state and in 1924 established
state geological survey, whose geologic
report, appearing in 1926. was the first
issued under the patronage of any
state. Massachusetts, and Tennessee
early established official geological sur
veys on a much larger scale than those
of North and South Carolina, and in
1888 Maryland followed their example.
To Maryland also belongs the credit of
being the first state to undertake a
topographic survey, in which she OBJ
tanned the cooperation Of the coast
and geodetic survey. This marks the
beginning Of the federal and state CO.
operation in such matters which is now
so important in topographic mapping
and in the investigation Of our mineral
resources. Bulletin 465 of the United
States geological survey, entitled THE
State Geological Surveys Of the United
States" includes a historical report of
each state in which there is now ge-
illogical survey. giving also a sketch of
early surveys and on account Of the le-
gal designation, organization, laws ap-
preparations, publications and nature
Of the work of each individual state.
The bulletin is valuable as showing the
early recognition Of the need and value
of basic investigations Of our enormous
latent mineral wealth.

II is inspiring TO realize that the

ing organized for effective service Too
often the meetings in our churches are
a mere marking time affair without
real advance. But one cannot help nav
ing a feeling that the preparations now
being made are rooted in determine
ton TO do great things for God. The
coming of Mr.. Sunday is the occasion,
but the fundamental unity of Christian
experience and real desire for the ad-
yancement of the kingdom are the
dominant notes in the present move
ment. Billy" Sunday is suggestive OF
a real dynamic-ae brings Things 10
pass-and those associated with MIN
must share in his spirit.

relative to the organization OF the

some who criticise the evangelist and
his methods. Still that does not argue
