some preserve and sold through q
New York wholesale grocer. Sam
Chilly rHttles on the number Of peach
% on q tree. the number Of trees to
the acre. the amount Of jam they
would make. the cost and the profit.
while the audience bowls with laugh
ter over his enthusiasm.
It is doubtful that anyone in the
audience could repeat any of the fig-
ures q minute after Sans speech,
though tho speech is important to the
Development Of the plot. But Win
chell Smith. the author, is . stickler
for accuracy and before he wrote that
scene he consulted William c. Rob-
inson of the Fatrview Farm, near
Mr.. Smiths Connecticut home. Mr..
Robinson is the leading authority on
peach culture and the figures used in
the play were furnished by him after
the author described the orchard that
he had in mind.
So. although almost everyone who
thinks OF it at all is sure that Mr..
Smith INDUCED in an authors license
in his manipulation Of peach and
jam data, the fact remains that the
figures are AZ real as the water that
flows from the kitchen pump in the
frst act Of the famous comedy.

New Explosives

The Oil. Paint and Drug Reporter
mentions new explosive being
tested by the government which will
save a considerable amount Of
glycerin. 1t is called nitrobyrnoel
and is the product of DR.. Byron r..
Eldred. It is claimed that it blows
a chamber twice the size Of that
caused by T. N. =. (trinitrotoluol. )
In the manufacture Of nitrobyronel
neither nitroglycerin nor toluol is
used. It is a hydrocarbon obtained
by by-product in coke-oven pro-
cesses.
1t is estimated that $4,000. 900
pounds of glycerin is used in Ameri-
can industrial concerns. and a big
saving in this important material,
now growing scarce, can be effected
through the employment OF nitroby-
ronel.
If shortage OF glycerin should be-
come Imminent the Oil. Paint and
Drug Reporter believes that the gov
eminent would promptly start in to
manufacture nitrobyronel.
