New ExplosIXe.

The OIL, Paint and Drug Reporter
mentions new explosive being tested
by the government which will save a
considerable amount Of glycerin. II is
called nitrobyronei and is the product
of DIR. Byron Il. Eldred. II is claimed
that II blows n chamber twice the size
of that caused by T. N. T. (trinitro-
toluol). In the manufacture Of nitro
byrOnel neither nitroglycerin nor to-
luol is used. II Is hydrocarbon OBJ
tained by a by-product in coke-oven
processes.
It is estimated that $4,000. 900 pounds
Of glycerin is used in American In
dustrial concerns, and big saving In
this important material, now growing
scarce. can be effected through the
employment Of nitrobyronel.
II n shortage Of glycerin should be-
come imminent, the Oil, Paint and
Drug Reporter believes that the gov.
ernment would promptly start In to
manufacture nltrobyronel.

to begin with, several ropes which
have been used to hang celebrated
criminals. In the same room are a
number Of menus obtained from hotels
ir various parts of the world. He
places considerable value on several
corks which have been pulled from the
bottles of wine used on the tables Of
well-known persons, and dozen book
dedications are considered an impor-
tant feature Of the collection. Some
of the autographs in the collection
are highly priced because they re-
Quired the expenditure Of not small
sum of money and quite little time.
During his travels in foreign lands the
collector picked up the thigh bone of
Syrian giant, chameleon Of Bar
barry, great African lizard and q
rose which was said to be 100 years
old. He even turned his attention to
beans, and has ten Chinese beans

Government Justified In Stimulation
Of Pork Production-sevenfoId
Increase Over Pre-
War Exports.

Through increased production and
TO export seven times our pre-war
average exports Of pork productA.
With the heavy demands added In car
ing for the millions who have been
freed from German oppression, the
Department Of Agriculture and the
Food Administration afe justified to-
day In our every action Of stimulation
OF hog production. In the coming year
the greatest world shortage will be In
fats, and pork will help to save this
situation. The efficacy Of the policy
of stimulated production has built up
In this country supplies which will en-
able US to supply very large part Of
the fat deficiency Of the world. In
beef there must be shortage In Eu-
rope, due largely to limited refrigern-
tor ship capacity. All freezer ships
available, however, will be filed By
America, Argentine and Australia.
The contribution made by the pro-
ducers Of this country to the war pro-
gram as applying particularly to anil
NAL food products is illustrated by the
following:
Reports compiled by the q. s. De-
partment OF. Agriculture indicate an
increase in cattle Of 10,23S,o00 head
and 12,441 900 hogs. These figures
were compiled to January last.
In this period there was decrease
In sheep OF $4,000 head The indica-
lions are that this decrease win show
an increase, according to recent re-
ports.
Since January / unofficial informa-
ton indicates an Increase In hogs OF
not less than per cent and moi
more than 10 per cent. as compared
with one year ago. with an increase In
the average weight.
Following the request OF the U. 8
| Food Administration for an increase
In hog production for marketing in the
fall Of 1918 and the spring OF 1919 the
increase may yield not less than 1000,
100000 pounds more of pork product
than were available last year. With
out this increase the shipping program
arranged by Mr.. Hoover regarding an
imal food products would have beer
impossible.
The dressed hog products during tn
three months ending September 80
1917, amounted to 903, 172, 600 pounds
while for the corresponding months o.
1918 the dressed hog products totalet

During the same period for 1917 tn,

In France a German plane, swoop-

and soon driven away by very accurate

curate enough to convince Fritz that
he was in no safe neighborhood.
But he didn't know that the rifle
was being handled by a lieutenant col

Along the entire battle front the
state OF comparative quiet that has
existed since last Thursday Continues.
The only activity except for small at
tacks here and there is being carried
out by the artillery. German guns
have been paying particular attention
to the sectors around Ypres, KENNEL
and the Nieppe forest, upon which
large numbers OF high explosive and
gas shells have been thrown.
North of Albert the British in a To-
cal attack improved their position and
took prisoners and additional cap
tives were made by them near Ro-
becq and Wytschaete. Attempts By
the Germans to raid French trenches
between Lassigny and Noyon were
repulsed.
Notwithstanding the lull there is en-
pectancy in the allied camps OF the
near approach OF another great at
tempt by the Germans to break their
lines. All precautions have been tax
EN- by the various commanders and
everywhere the fronts have been
strengthened in anticipation oi iurth-

and French armies the soldiers are
waiting patiently, confident that they
will be able to give good account OF
themselves against any. attacks the
Germans may make.
