Superhundn Strength.


Man in ordinary peaceful life can
not even imagine what man or beast
can accomplish in the "heat of bat
tle". 1t is u fact that in battles things
have been accomplished which in the
ordinary way OF life would have been
thot impossible. But the great ex-
citemcnt OF men and horses produces
an eXertion of strength almost in
credible.
When after n battle one looks up
a steep hill witch has been taken by
storming troops, one wonders, and
asks, how was 1t possible, that men
already exhausted by long marches
could possibly take rart in n battle
and under heavy firing of enemy
guns climb the steep heights. Still
the impossible has happened, and the
exhausted men have thrown their en-
emics out of their positions.
Troops, who, following the sound
of gun fire, march directly towards
II, experience certain excitement,
In which they forget that they are
really tired and in their excitement
force themselves forward until they
reach the battle line: hunger, thirst
ard fatigue, all are forgotten. An in
teresting experience ! had in 1870 at
Sedan. 1t was on the morning OF
September 2 when the capitulation OF
Sedan, and the surrender Of the
bravo French army was to take place.
The night previous orders had been
issued by the German general staff
tcat unless the documents of the cap
itulatiop had been signed the fortress
was TO be bomLarded, beginning at 8
o'clock.
Early in the morning the German
artillery was in position on the hills
surrounding Sedan, except one bat
terry that had come from a distance.
1t had to take up position on hill
overlooking the cemetery OF Floing
1t was almost impossible to bring the
guns up that hill. Both men and
horses were exhausted. ! was stand
ing by and, when | saw that all ef-
forts would not bring the pieces up
that hill, / approached the officer
commanding. asking him to spare the
men and horses.
"Nein, wik muesSen hier hinauf.
No. we have to get up, just here.
Yesterday they went up without
a struggle, why should they not do II
today? 1t has to be done, If only to
execute the order"
Mon and horses made one more su-
perhuman effort, and they accom-
| plished the feat

FELT HATS IN THE MAKING
Forty or Fifty Rabbits Must Die 10
Make a Dozen Hats.

At the May meeting OF the new
York section Of the Society of Chem
ical Industry, Charles ID. Parks OF
Danbury, Conn. brought out some
facts about the manutac-
ture Of mems hats, of when no less
than 2.5OO,OO0 dozen are made an
nually in the United States. They are
made OF fur. mostly or RABBIT iur,
and II takes the skins or from iorS
TO fifty rabbits to make dozen mats
Less than per cent OF this fur comes
from this country. Other kihus VI
fur are used, some OF which prouuce
hats OF better quality, as. for instance
the nutria. a Brazilian animal some
thing like an otter. Generally speak
ing. land animals have the best fur
on their backs, while water animals
grow their best fur on their beilies'
Cat fur was declared to be useless
for hats. Wool does not answer pc
cause Il does not keep Its shape. Inc
greatest number of rabbit skins come
from Australia.
The first process is to open the
skins out after which the long hair
is removed. This Is waste, and right
here is chance for somebody TO
make a snug fortune by discovering a
chemical agent tnat Will cauoo ~.
hair to felt. Wool mats together ana
fclts in the presence of a mild alkali
or soap and fur felts in the manner
that we shall shortly observe, put
rabbit fur is obstinate and falls apart
no matter how hard 1t Is pounded TO-
gether The hair is removed from
the skin by skinning the flesh on re-
yolying disc cutters, thus forming thin
strips. These skin slivers are sold to
the glue makers. This leaves all the
fur in it's original shape so that looked
at from above 1t appears very much
Ike an original pelt. The fur is
treated by the application of the felt
ing medium, which is nitric acid
salt of mercury formed by bringing
nitric acid and mercury together.
Here again Is another chance for the
inventive chemist. Mercury Is now
worth over 500 flask and some
| thing to take the place of 1t, n cheap
| er means of felting fur, Is wished
for by the hat makers, hoped for
longed for and just plain wanted.
Then the fur is blown upon cones
about three feet high, and from these
the hats are worked down and shaped
on a block with the aid of a solution
of shellac and alcohol, until they be-
gin to look like real hats, but hardly
like very respectable ones. The pro-
priety and style of them begin tt
show when the trimmin are put on

Fourthly II woke Americans to the
weak points in their national harness
and initiated that movement for pre-
paredness which | reckon among the
sanest and most wholesome agitations
have ever known in Fl years eX-
perience OF the United States.
"Fifthly, II very gradually enlarged
the political horizon OF the average
citizen and brought him face to face
with problems and conditions that
formerly he could comfortably ig-
more.
"Sixthly, II taught American man
ufacturers, or some of them. the In
valuable and neglected art of making
munitions.
"And. finally, 1t staged for Ameri-
cas- instruction, and at Europe's eX-
pense, the full panorama of war, and

her turn should come-as 1t has
come-with a whole library OF direc-
tions on what to do and what not

MT'S ONLY AMERICAN BLUFF"
BcrIin's "Aunty Voss" Discusses "lm-
Pending Arrival" OF Pcrshing's Men.

Don't let us be bluffed. Time and
again thruout the war our enemies
have attempted, thru bluff of some
kind or other, to depress the spirits OF
our people here at home. when they
discovered the impossibility of shat
tering the strength and confidence OF
our heroes in the trenches Every
time the allies have suffered defeat
and were painting for breath they
opened their mouths twice as wide
and invented new bluff.
Sometimes they resorted to sheer
lies and slander: at other times some
new sort of bogy would be conjured
up for our terror. The very latest
bluff is British and French news
about the impending appearance of
American troops. After having fill
tered the press of Scandinavia, SwitZ-
erland and Holland, this news" has
even been smuggled into German
newspapers The only incompre-
hensible thing is that it is published
without comment, and even taken
seriously.
Thus we read, for instance. that
American medical units have arrived
in Bordeaux, and that by autumn
125,O00 troops, or five American divi-
sions, are to be dispatched to Europe.
a few days later we are Informed
that General Pershing has reached
France with nine thousand men for
framing purposes, and now comes
Swiss news, via Scandinavia, that the
arrival OF 10000 Americans is immi-
nentl Now, even the Americans aren't
quite such hustlers as all this. So
keep your head. German Michael, and
don't be bluffed Berlin Voissische
