GUN COTTON BASIS OF SILK

Belgium, France, England and the
United States, 1t has for its basis moth

greatest problems he had to solve in
perfecting it for everyday use was to
render II nonexplosive.
The gun cotton under the chardon-
net process is first dissolved in a mix
ture of alcohol and ether and then
spun through fine capillary tubes by
means of hydraulic presses.
Other chemical processes give it in
cOmbustible and nonexplosive quail
ties, together with the consistency and
the transparency Of the finest silk from
Japan or China
1t took just 80 years of the 80 which
Count Hilaire has completed to per-
feet his discovery and render 1t Of act
ual and practical commercial value.
The illustriouS chemist and scientist
has just been elected to the supreme
honor of membership in the French
Academy of Sciences for his discovery
Of how to put one over on the silk
worms. During the war he had been
decorated by the French minister of
war with the Cross of Chevalier of
the Legion Of Honor for discoveries
relative to the manufacture of high ex-
plosives growing cut Of his researches
made primarily to render artificial silk

RecIaImIns Waste Places.

Twenty years ago a news story from
Washington says land In the Louisiana
parish of Tangipahoa was worth so
cents an acre and human life was
worth scarcely anything at all. 1t was
q case of cause and effect.
Then the immigrants came They
were chiefly Italians and Hungarians.
They had lived at home on land that
was poorer than the Tangipahoa. They
practiced intensive cultivation. Today
their parish is one Of the greatest
strawberry farming districts In the
United States.
Land that sold for SO cents Is now
worth 500 an acre. And the school
authorities have practiced intensive
cultivation on the human products Of
that land. Americanization has made
life worth more there than It ever was
before.-Binghamton News

one man for the two year term. Fo
the former there will be contest be
