Material for Explosive.

AS to the source Of the toluol need
ed for explosives. 1t is pointed out that
there has been recently a great in
crease in the number of by-product
coke ovens in this country. However,
says the Scientific American, If 100000
600 tons Of coke are made in these
ovens during the present year we shall
get from this source only 100000
gallons Of toluOl, which is about one
fourth as much as the government es-
timated 1t would need for munitions.
Another promising measure recently
inaugurated is the stripping of city
gas Of this material, which can be
spared without any serious detriment
to the gas, and amounts to about .O4
gallon for each 1000 feet Of gas. It
Is estimated that ten Of the largest
city gas plants OF the country will
yield about 100000 gallons Of
toluol.

muzhik, who has planted for himself

to account the possibility that superior
force from the city or from his own or
neighboring village may seize his
grain. When the calamity befalls, an
endless train Of disaster and blOodshed
and starvation will follow in its wake.
Reprisal on some weaker peasant
will be the next STEP and from that
the flame Will spread to virulent Dor

Hereditary Hay Fever,

Or. w. Scheppegrell, president Of
the American Hay Fever Prevention
association, has recently made an an
alysis of AS cases treated in the hay
fever clinic Of the Charity hospital at
New Orleans and elsewhere In that
city in order to determine the infiu-
ence Of heredity on this disease. He
finds that in more than One-third Of
the cases the patients had father,
mother, brother or sister who was q
victim of the disease. Probably the
influence of heredity is even greater
than indicated by these figures, as spe-
cific susceptibility may exist indefi-
nitely without developing hay fever, by
reason of insufficient exposure to the
pollens that cause the malady. The
question of the development Of nat
ural immunity from continued expos.
ure to the specific pollens is, says Doc
tor Scheppegrell, difficult one to set
tie, on account of the difficulty of elm
mating the question of decreased ex-
posure.- Scientific American.

RECORD PRICE FOR SPEECH
chauncey Depew Tells Of Occasion
When Few Spoken Words Were
Worth Much Money

In commenting upon the death OF
Mrs. Russell Sage, Chauncey M. De-
pew, who knew Mrs. Sage for 40 years
and was an intimate associate Of her
husband for longer period, told how
he made $4,000 speech at her sug.
gestion.\
Mr.. Depew stated that although Mr..
Sage accumulated a vast fortune he
rarely gave away any money, adding
that the reason for this was the con-
fdence which he reposed In the judy
ment of his wife as an able and ex.
perienced philanthroplst. He said that
years ago he received letter from
Mrs. Sage inviting him to make an
address at the Emma Willard school.
at Troy, N. Y, upon the occasion of
the donation by Mr.. Sage to the school
Of large sum of money for use IN
erecting a building. This was the
school of which Mrs. Sage was a grad
uate
II replied" said Mr.. Depew, that
was so overwhelmed with engage
ments to speak that 1t would be I'M
possible for me to accept the invita-
ton. In answer received by special
messenger note from Mrs. Sage
saying: Russell Is going to give
$4,000. He will not give one cent
unless you make the speech. This is
Russell's first excursion into this field.
Don't you think he ought to be err
couraged?'
"My immediate reply was: i will
make that speech"
