Chocolate in the Trenches.

This afternoon, everything being
quiet, I invited the neighbOring sec
ton commander to come and spend a
little time with me. In the trenches
we rarely have anything to drink but
wine and coffee, and, by the way of
special feast, I decided to make some
chocolate. So I sent for a canteen of
water and poured some of the pre-
cious fluid into my pan and devOutly
emptied in the chocolate and sugar.
It was simmering gently on my braZ-
Ter, and I was just on the point of
adding condensed milk, when someone
called me from the outside. 1t was
my orderly coming to see if 1 needed
anything. I invited him to join us,
but at the precise moment the stupid
battery of X began to spit it's six
shells at us. Two burst so near that
my faithful 'tampOn' stumbled in
fright and fell headlong taking with
him brazier, saucepan and chocolate
our chocolate so nearly ready, which
our eyes were drinking so hungrily
The poor chap was most unhappy, so
I laughed; but / must confess my
laugh was a bit sickly. At that mo-
ment I detested the Germans worse
than ever.-From a French Lieuten-
ants Diary in the Atlantic.

FIND OZONE BEST
SURGEONS IN WAR HOSPITALS
USE 1T PRoFUSELY.
Other Oxidizing Agents Have Been
Proved Open to Some Form of OBJ
lection, but This Has Been
Proved Satisfactory.

Among the branches of surgery to
which the exigencies of the European
war have acted as a sharp stimulus
may be mentioned the treatment of in
fected wounds. The proportion of pa
tients who reach the military hospitals
with their injuries thus aggravated is
said to be so large as to have given
great Importance to the subject Of
antiseptics, since obviously the perfect
aSeptic treatment which most cases
can enjoy in ordinary hospitals in time
of peace is out of the question for the
majority of battle wounds.
Many antiseptics, unfortunately,
though excellent germicides, are so
toxic that there is danger of their
harming the vitality of the tissues sur
rounding the wound. For this reason
hydrogen peroxide is said to be admir-
able, since it is germicidal without be-
ing in any way injurious to healthy
cells. However, 1T is not adequate in
those cases, so common in warfare,
where there is a serious amount of sup
Duration. 1t is almost instantly decom-
posed, not only by pus, but by blood
and most of the other liquids of the
body tissues, SO that the amount of
naScent oxygen released is insufficient
for the requirements of a serious
wound.
The search for an oxidizing agent
not open to this objection, according
to writer in the Scientific American,
led to the trial of ozone, either dis
solved in water and used in copious ir-
rigations, or in gaseous state, mixed
with ordinary diatomic oxygen. The
latter style of treatment is especially
advantageous in the case of wounds
which are slow in forming a scab, since
the most spacious bandages often have
tendency to rub off the fresh scar
tissue.
This difficulty is avoided in the
process in question by surrounding the
wound with Theoretically sealed
shell, into which can be passed the
gaseous current. This method pos
sesses the extraordinary advantage of
leaving the wound open to the bene-
fetal action of the solar radiations as
well. Then, too, the total exclusion
of the ordinary air from the tissue I'M
der treatment makes impossible the
formation of nitrogen compounds,
which might prove decidedly irritant.
The other mode of application,
through the use of ozonized water, has
been found particularly satisfactory
for large shattered wounds, where the
tissues have been directly invaded by
septic substances.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy

There is nothing so destructive to

Danderine from any store, and after

BIG ARMS PLANT BLOWN UP.
100000 Shells Rain on Town in New

100000 Shells Rain on Town in New
Jersey--Thousand in Danger.
New York, Jan. 13.-Fire in the am
munition plant of the Canadian Car
and Foundry company, near Kings
land, N. j., destroyed the factory,
with a loss estimated at $5,O0OOOO,
forced the evacuation of large part
of the town of Kingsland and made
1000 people temporarily homeless. So
far as could be learned there were no
fatalities, although II wOrkmen are
said to be missing.
For nearly five hours northern New
Jersey, New York city, Westminster
and the western end of Long Island
listened to a bombardment that APP
prOximated the sound of a great bat
tle-a bombardment in which more
than half a million 3-inch~ high ex-
plosive shells were discharged.
The reason for there being no fatal
tiles is chiefly because the shells.
which were being loaded for the Rus
sian government, were not to be
equipped with Illuminating fuses until
they reached Russia. AS fast as they
were filled with trinitrotOluOl they
were set aside, point upward, in cases
like bottles.
The company was within two weeks
of finishing an exceptionally large con-
tract for the Russian government,
which had kept the plant busy.

The force of the explosions was felt
for a radius of 100 miles, and with
the exception of the Black Tom dls-
aster last September, they were the
most violent of the munition eXplo-
siOns in the vicinity of New YORK
since the business grew to glgantlc
proportions soon after the start OF the
war in Europe.
Houses were shaken in Manhattan,
Brooklyn and the Bronx, windows
were broken in many places in west
chester county, in Staten island. and,
the shocks were felt as far away as
Poughkeepsie. N. Y; Milford. Conn.,,
and Springfield, Mass.
Following so closely the destruction
of the KingSland, n. j., plant OF the
Canadian Car and Foundry company
Thursday, the explosion threw all

not probable. that the fire was of in
cendiary origin"
The buildings destroyed were valued
at about $750,OOO.

Finely MiIIed Bread Seems Best.

Commenting on the recent order of
the British board of trade that in
milling wheat 80 per cent of its
weight must be recovered in -four, in
stead of 10 per cent as formerly.
Nature remarks that bread made from
so per cent flour is not so nutritious
as that made from 70 per cent flour.
And it adds:
although 80 per cent bread con-
tains on the average rather more pro-
TEN than 70 per cent bread, the di-
gestibility of the protein in the for
mer is rather lower, so that the actual
weight of protein digested by the av-
erage individual from one pound OF
80 per cent bread is rather less than
the amount digested from one pound
of 70 per cent bread. Again, the en-
ergy value of so per cent bread Is
rather lower than that of 10 per cent
bread"
