MAKING HIGH EXPLOSIVES.
Dangers of Poisoning TO Which the
Workers Are Exposed.


The making of modern munitions Of
war has brought into prominence sew
eral types of industrial diseases hith-
erto almost unknown
One Of the most troublesome of these
is that commonly known as 1T. n. T.
poisoning, due to exposure to the
fumes of tri-nitro-toluol or to the in
halation of dust generated in mixing
certain high explosives of which 1t
forms a constituent.
Unusual drowsiness, frontal head
ache and eczema are the first symp-
toms of T. n. T. poisoning, and work
ers so affected are promptly given
some other occupation, when the symp-
toms quickly disappear.
Less dangerous, but very trouble
some, is tetryl poisoning. Manipula-
ton of this explosive produces light
dust, which gets into the mouth, nose
and eyes and sets up q painful sore
ness, accompanied by headache, nau-
sea and an almost intolerable itching
Curiously enough, individuals vary
very considerably in their susceptible
ity to tetryl poisoning Some workers
are not all affected by it or only in a
very slight degree, while others can
hardly enter a room In which 1t is be-
ing handled without suffering severely.
Luckily tetryl poisoning does not en-
danger life, nor are the symptoms in
any case SO severe as those due TO T.
n T. poisoning Tetryl possesses the
annoying property, however of stain
ing the skin and hair yellow. but
means have been found of largely
countcracting this if the workers care
to avail themselves Of them.
Other industrial diseases Of q similar
nature more or less prevalent In muni-
ton works are due to handling fulmi-
nate Of mercury, to exposure to the
fumes Of a substance known as tetra-
chlorethane. TO Inhalation Of various
other noxious fumes and dust gene
rated in the workshops by the differ
ent processes carried on there and also
from lead poisoning

The Word "RuhaiYat.r

The word "Rubaiyat" is the plural OF
"rubaI," meaning quatrain. and the
plural is used to denote a collection OF
quatrains The form has a verse
scheme of its own and is the distinc-
tive and most ancient Persian meter
1t is said to have been invented by
Rudagi, the earliest of the great Per-
sian poets Nearly all the Persian
poets include Rubaiyat among their
works. Edward FitzGerald made it an
English form.

And water turn to wine

Every automobile rider has expert
enced the discomfort of dust in the
eyes and also from the effects Of cold
winds. A suggestion has been made
that these discomfo2ts may be greatly
alleviated by applying castor oil along
the eyelashes. This, it is claimed, will
catch most Of the dust before 1t can en-
ter the eye, and also It protects the eyes
from the chilling effects of the wind.

VIM Stones Cannot Burn Like Coal

Stones cannot burn for the simple
reason that they are dead matter which
has burned out When anything burns
it takes into its system all the oxygen
of the air that it can combine with.
When it has done this it cannot be
burned any more. Lin burning any
substance changes its character.
The original clement of most Of the
rocks and stones we see was silicon,
and when that combines with oxygen
the result is a form of rock, a concrete
substance, but unburnable.
