LIQUID Fire In War.

Liquid fire as q war weapon is thus
described in an English journal:
In the earliest models the combus-
hble liquid was propelled by a gas
condenser. out of a portable or fixed
reservoir and was lighted by some au-
tomato. device as it escaped from the
nozzle Of the projecting Instrument.
Later a double barreled liquid gre
was devised, having the upper barrel
much smaller than the lower and piv
oted so as to turn independently. The
fluid is shot from the two barrels ST.
simultaneously, but only that from the
upper one ignites automatically.
This small. burning stream is so di-
rected that 1t unites with the larger,
nonburning one ut any desired point
aud then, of course, ignites the larger
jet. The small streams. then shut off,
the large one continuity to flow.
The flames do not spread backward
along the jet toward the nozzle, but
are carried forward to the target and,
striking tile ground. form veritable
sheet Of fire. which continues to ignite
the fluid as fast ana>as long as it falls.

The Making Of Clipped Glass.


Sheets of glass that are covered with
a shell-like raised pattern are in use
for screens, partitions, electric light
fixtures and other purposes. This
Clipped glass. for the pattern is often
really Clipped out of the surface, in
wolves a process that is interesting
The -sheet of glass to be treated is
placed under a sand blast in order to
give it q grain. This ground surface
is next treated with solution Of good
glue, and the glass is placed in dry
ing room on rack, where it remains
for some hours. Next the sheets Of
glass are removed to the chipping
room, where they are placed OH edge
back to back, with the coated surfaces
outward. This room is heated by
steam coils, and when the heat is turn
ed on the glue reaches it's utmost de-
gree of desiccation and curls off the
glass in pieces from the size Of dime
to that Of silver dollar, but it adj
here's so closely to the glass that in
it's effort to get free it tears a piece
off the surface, the result being
beautiful pattern.

ly nil. The cause of curly, dwarf is
unknown, but it appears to be physio-
logical. The progeny of curly dwarf
plants invariably produce curly dwarf
and it is usually true that affected
stock Puns out entirely and is lost in
a few years.
Cause Of Leaf Roll Unknown
LEAF roll is another disease of the
potato which has been believed to be
physiological. This is characterized
by an upright habit Of the tips OF
the stems, by a tubular rolling of the
leaves Of portion or of the entire
plant, frequently accompanied by a
discoloration most pronounced at the
margin of the leaflets. The character
Of this discoloration varies with the
varieties from a lightly ellowto deep
purple. The petioles of the leaflets of
leaf-roll plants are frequently twist
ed so that the underside of the leaf is
turned outward or upward. There is
often a metallic 1uster of the leaflets
most noticeable from beneath, the
tissues are more brittle than normal,
and are exceptionally rigid. The dull
rustic given out by shaking the
leaves Of such plants against one an
the term 'rattles' in some sections
The cause of leaf roll has never been
determined. It has been generally be-
lieved, both in this country and
abroad, that the progeny of leaf roll
plants could not produce healthy
stock. 1t is certainly the case that
leaf roll progeny frequently does re-
produce it's like, SO that it is inadvis-
purposes.
Control in Seed Plot Most Practical
aside from the specific means of
control which have been mentioned,
the most practical method Of combat
ing the diseases discussed is probably
that Of the seed plot. For this pur-
pose the farmer employs in the first
year the best stock available, planting
it upon his best soil type, and caring
for it in the most approved manner.
From time to time during the grow
ing season the weak, diseased, Or
otherwise undesirable plants are
rogued out At digging time it IS
highly desirable to harvest at least a
portion of this field by hand, select
ing those hills whose yields approx
mate most closely to the growers
ideal. Tubers obtained in this way
form the nucleus for the next years
seed plot. If this method is followed
consistently, many of the diseases
which are now so vexatious will be
largely held under cntrol, and in ad-
dition the general vigor and conse
quent productiveness of the stock
will be held at high level
