Coast Artillery districts in the United
States. He became colonel in the
Coast Artillery in December, 1905.
Naval Promotion on Sea Service
is the caption of a recent and infor-
NATIVE article in the Army and
Navy Register as follows:
Congress is likely to modify exist
ing law which makes after June 30,
1920, as n requisite for promotion
to the grade of real admiral. cap
tain and commander actual sea serv-
ice on seagoing ships in the grade
from which promoted of not less
than two years. At the time of the
enactment of this condition to ad-
vancement. there was doubt eX-
pressed as to the wisdom and jus
tice of the restriction.
Under the conditions Of time of
peace. it was bound to be more OF
less difficult to comply with any
legislative obligation OF sea serv-
ice. and great care had to be ex.
ercised lest naval officers were
treated unfairly. In time OF war, OF
course. the situation is quite diff
ferent, and it has become out Of the
question to provide actual ses
service" in all cases.

FLUCTUATIONS MARK
new YORK EXCHANGE
Irregular Tuesday Movement Partly
Due to Leather Break.

New York, April 23.-Stocks had
two week periods today, the second
coming just before the close and leav-
ing most issues net lower for the
dsy. The opening was strong, but
selling began almost Immediately.
Then a midday rally carried several
issues to new high prices for the
movement. The selling at the close
looked like professional profit-taking.
Tuesday is usually a day of irregu-
larity in a professional market such
as the present one.
One of the reasons for weakness in
the market was the report of Central
Leather for the first quarter. 1t
showed 31.14l.0O0 earned net against
$6,193.oO0 in the same quarter last
year. This shrinkage of $5,193, 900
caused the street to believe that
there had been concealment some
where. for no one expected anything
as bad as that.
Among the stocks to make high
prices were Dlstillers, Gulf States
Steel and Inspiration Copper.
Gulf States Steel moved in response
to report that an important wire
contract had been made with the
Italian government. The coppers in
general have been well bought re-
Gently, probably because the insiders
who sold out in the big boom that
eliminated about the first OF 1917 have
finally replaced their holdings.
Weakness OF Studebaker was due to
a belief that the company will be
compelled to cut of its dividend en-
tirely. The last public report of the
company was unfavorable, and now
there is a movement in Washington
to reduce the manufacture of pas
senger cars still further.

lie under eighty parts of nitrogen and
twenty parts Of oxygen, the balance
being represented by argon and the
minute gases which were discovered
by Sir william Ramsay. Oxygen is
attracted to or by many things. II
leaps to iron. as to a magnate and
produces rust. Nitrogen Is almost
inert so that It is essential that. IL 1t
can be procured or fixed from the
atmosphere, there be certain chemical
methods perfected whereby this nitro
gen can be utilized.
One of these processes is to be
adopted at Muscle Shoals. 1t is called
the cyanamid process and 1t entails
Utilization of the equivalent of 10000
horse power in electric energy. An
other process which is called the
cyanide process needs no more than
the equivalent Of 1900 horse power,
and with this process the government
is also in a small plant, to undertake
at Muscle Shoals the fixation Of nitro
gen from the atmosphere. President
Birge has brought into association
with his corporation the men Of
science and of great inventive capacity
who are endeavoring to perfect this
cyanamid process.
It should be said here. incidently.
that the beginning OF all the work In
the extraction Of nitrogen from the
air is represented by the so-called
Claude liquifcation process. which
makes II possible to liquify the air at
a much less pressure than was at first
found necessary.
In convenient neighborhood to the
great government cyanamld plant at
Muscle Shoals, President Birge's cor
poration has built a plant where, by
its own methods. nitrogen which is
absolutely pure is obtained from the
atmosphere. This Is in the form of
gas and the gas is piped or Is to be
piped from the Birge plant to the gov
ernment's plant at Muscle Shoals.
There the skilled artisans who are IN
the employ OF the government will by
processes which have been lately per-
fected so utilize the nitrogen that at
last ammonia is produced and that Is
the important element in the manu-
facture of explosives.
When the war is ended these great
works will be still maintained for
they will be able, in addition to other
works that are contemplated, to fur
nish the American farmers with all
the fertilizing material which they
need and other industries with nitric
acid and ammonia. Furthermore we
shall no longer be dependent on Chilli
