b. A. Brigganlan.

Bernard August Briggaman was
born in Basil, Hanover, Germany
September ia, 1857. Died at Leon
Iowa, August 3, 1916, aged So. years
10 months and 10 days. At the age
of II he came to America and first
made his home at Cincinnati, Ohio
In all he had made three trips to and
from the Fatherland. He moved to
Leon, Iowa, 40 years ago and has
made his home near here practically
all of that time.
He was married to Ida B. Himel-
rich, February 2, 1888. To this union
four daughters were born, all of them
living at the present time, Mabel
Fern, Sarah Ann, Ida Violet and Iva
Viola. His wife preceded him to
the better land February 20, 1892.
For time their home was broken
up but eleven years ago the family
was brought together again and
have kept house ever since.
Mr.. Briggaman lived in the princi-
patty of Hanover during the regime
of the Blind Prince and was citizen
of that principality when it became a
part of the German Empire after the
war of 1866. He was reared in the
German CatnOllc Cnurcn ana ala not
identify himself with any of the
church organizations after coming to
America. He became member of
the Odd Fellows, June 10, 1903, and
has been faithful member to this
day. He had been in the employ of
the Burlington railroad in one capac-
ity or another practically all his life.
He belonged to that faithful army of
toilers who have done so much for
our safety and comfort and whose
faithfulness is too little recognized in
this modern commercial age. He was
man conversant in religious mat
tiers and had never gotten away from
the faith planted in his life by the
teachings of childhood. We only
wish that more of our modern child
hood could receive such training.
Funeral services we're held at the
Christian church on Saturday after
noon, conducted by Rev. Henry Esch,
pastor of the church, the services at
the cemetery being in charge of the
Leon Odd Fellows lodge, of which he
was a leading member. Interment
was in the Leon cemetery.

WET GUNCOTTON.
More Stable Than Dry and Explodes
ONLY From a Severe Shock.


Owing to its high percentage OF nitro
gen oxide. guncotton when exposed TO
air in dry state rapidly absorbs oXy-
gen from the air and becomes very
dangerous. exploding spontaneously or
from slight shock. Dry guncotton In
unconfined mass merely burns with
flash like gunpowder, only much more
rapidly; it does not exert explosive ef-
feet unless confined. as in shell. In
its dry state guncotton is seldom used
for primers and decorators. as it is too
unstable and will explode with slight
shock or blow.
The guncotton carried aboard war
vessels and submarines for the ex-
plosive charge Of torpedoes is always
wet guncotton, kept in air tight con-
tainers to prevent evaporation of mois-
ture. Wet guncotton can be exploded
only by a severe shock; hence primers
or decorators of some more powerful
explosive are necessary, these eXplod-
ing on impact of the torpedo against
ships side and in turn exploding the
guncotton in the war head. Fifty to 100
pounds is the usual charge Of a tor
pedo.
Ordinarily safe if properly slowed
away from heat and kept moist, gun
cotton becomes dangerous from liabil-
ity to spontaneous explosion when a
slight excess Of acid is present, and
constant and regular tests for acidity
are part Of the duties Of ordnance Off
GERS of war vessels and ammunition
depots. Guncotton giving high acid
test is promptly condemned and either
destroyed or reworked and washed

Jupiter's Evolution.

Jupiter, formerly regarded as one of
the major planets, is rapidly approach
ing the state of the earth. Now 1t Is
in a stage between the sun and the
earth. A new belt is gradually widen
ing out around the planet. The changes
in Jupiter have been apparent for
some time past. Clouds of steam sur
round the celestial member. and this
steam, when the planet has cooled suf-
ficiently, will form its oceans. What
is going on with Jupiter is precisely
what the earth passed through some
