Another Antiaas Invention.

"Neutralizing ointment" is one Of
the latest war inventions. It is pub
liely revealed in an official descrip-
ton of the protective devices against
gas attacks. now being issued to our
troops.
The mask, with its contained chem
icals for neutralizing any poisonous
fumes that creep in, is familiar. But
one .so-ca1led gas is liquid, and be-
cause of its clustering effect the sol
diers have given it the name mustard
gas"
When an area is drenched with
this stuff the menace may persist for
many days, The peril is not from the
liquid itself. Mustard gas burns
through the clothing, and makes pain
full wounds where the flesh is reached.
The newly invented ointment must APP
parently be rubbed all over the body,
as well as on face and hands, to pro-
tect the soldier when the enemy's
bursting shells are spraying this hor-
rible liquid gas about.-Providence

the Baltic trade. Again and again the
warning is made that Malmo and Go
thenburg in Sweden, and Bergen and
Cbristiania in Norway, are planning
free harbors. The Dane knows that
more cities of Scandinavia will be
needed to handle the enormous result
ing traffic, yet he is well aware of the
fact that the geographical position Of
either Malmo or Gothenburg is not as
favorable as that of Copenhagen. Nor
ways claims do not loom large, for
Bergen and Christiania cannot be
placed in the same category with
Gothenburg or Malmo.
A Free Port IS Years.
The port of Copenhagen has been
free for more than % years. For a
period of years it was not improved,
but during the war changes have been
made and a real development has taken
place. It has been estimated that more
than $10,000000 has been spent thus.
It's tonnage capacity, reported to be
100000 has been pronounced as in.
adequate for the traffic which Copen-
hagen may expect. This condition,
however. may be easily overcome,
since the free port, being north of the
city, is at a point where it may be
enlarged to twice its present capacity.
The free port is a semiofficial insti-
tuition. and is in close connection with
the Danish customs department. In
fact, it is an agency of that depart
ment. Like all other free ports, it Of
fers certain advantages to the foreign
manufacturer. Goods may be stored in
its buildings free of duty for any length
of time. Thus the privilege is afforded
TO the Baltic distributor of having
convenient storehouse for his goods,
which may accumulate during a slack
season. When the demand becomes
heavy the Baltic trader is in a position
to meet the wants of his customers i'm
mediately. The cargoes of ocean-go-
ing vessels may be unloaded at Copen-
hagen and distributed in the Baltic re-
gions by the smaller steamers which
call at the less important Baltic ports.
These steamers would return to Copen-
hagen with the exports of the Baltic
regions, which would form the return
cargo of the ocean-going vessels.
The convenience which the Copen-
hagen free port affords the foreign
manufacturer is not confined to the Bal
tic territory alone; for Copenhagen
may well take Hamburgs place for all
Europe. As Hamburg was at one time
SO Copenhagen is now a terminus for
many ships calling at all ports of the
world, and chiefly European ports.
Hence it offers the same service that
Hamburg did in former years, that
Is, quick and cheap transshipment of
goods, when the demand is heavy, to
all important European ports.

The Kick That Told.

Fish feathers a Success.

The bureau of fisheries has received
a sample lot of leather made from the
skins of aquatic animals, including ray,
shark, sturgeon. paddlefish and por-
poise. 1t has received also articles
made from such feathers, including
mems, women's and children's shoes,
as we'll as a belt, wallet, portfolio,
brief case. etc. The manufacturers
have established stations on the South
Atlantic and Gulf coasts where sup
plies of raw material are obtained, and
are producing from such sources a
very high grade of leather suitable for
nearly every purpose for which leather
is used.

URGES USE OF BOTH HANDS
French Authority Points Out the Value
of Ambldexterity and Its Need
of Cultivation.

France, in her earnest efforts to re-
habilitate herself, has come to the wise
conclusion that childa man or
woman of the near future-who can
use either hand with equal facility is
almost twice as useful to the state
as ''right-handed" or a '1eft-handed"
person.
The Paris correspondent of the Jour
nal of the American Medical AS
ISOLATION writes of the attempt to en-
courage ambidexterity in French chill
dren.
cat the recent meeting of the Acad-
emie de Medicine Doctor Armaingaud
pointed out the loss-military, civil
and economic-which results from an
artificial disability imposed on young
children, and therefore an adults, in
allowing them to use only their right
hand, so that the left hand is used
only as an auxiliary to the right.
Speaking from a military point of
view, Armaingaud called attention TO
the statement made by General Baden
Powell to the effect that no one could
doubt the value of ambidexterity. If
both hands were used equally by
everybody instead of being used only
occasionally, or by few persons, as
is the case today, the strength Of the
army would be increased notably.
eat this time, when the population
Of France is decimated by tuberculo-
sis and alcoholism, and when the ex-
cess Of births over deaths is less each
year, it is not a matter of Indifference
to permit the population of France to
continue what may be called a physio-
logic mutilation one which may be
made to disappear at will.
"Armaingaud proposed to the acad-
envy % to issue an appeal to the peo-
pie of France, asking that the mothers,
in the interest OF the nation and in the
interest of defense of the country,
teach their children from the first to
use both hands equally; 81 TO request
the minister of public instruction to
make the equal use of both hands OBJ
ligatory in all the primary and second
airy schools; (3) to urge the founda-
ton of prize to be awarded annually
to the teacher in France who has been
most successful in carrying out this
most desirable reform -

Cotton of commerce.

The transformation of the fieecy
white mass gathered from the bolls
into the finished cotton fabric in
wolves many operations. The lint
which is dropped into the pickers'
baskets has elinging to its fibers nu-
merous little hard seeds, all of which
must be removed. The process of re-
moving the seeds is known as ginning.
When the cotton arrives at the fac
tory it is run through various ma
chimes, which free it of dirt and form
it into lap or roll. 1t is then passed
through rollers covered with steel
wire points, a process which makes
the fibers lie in straight parallel rows,
except as they curl or twist about
other fibers. The curls and twists are
Strengthened out in a stretching frame
and the fibers are then twisted and
wound on bobbins of decreasing size
until the strands are fine enough to be
spun into thread or yarn. When the
product is ready for the spinning ma
chine it is called rowing. From the
spinning machine the thread or yarn is
taken to the looms to be made into
cloth.

and there was the calm light of glad
