WORK FOR HIGH EXPLOSIVES
French Scientist Suggests Their Use
In the Reclamation of War.
Devastated Orchards.

The vigorous growth Of wild plants
about shell holes has suggested to VI.
Andre Piedailu a novel plan for quick
ly restoring .war-devastated orchards.
The vigor of the weeds is attributed
partly to the assuring Of the soil by
the shell-ire and partly to nitrogenous
substances introduced. and in the pro-
pesal to the French Academy it is
concluded that an ideal orchard soil
could be produced by breaking up the
rough surface with dynamite in such
way that fertiIizing material would
be driven into the soil. The fertilizer
would be compressed in paper or
celluloid cases around cylinders Of the
explosive, which would be fired by a
Illuminating charge. Holes for the
cartridges about two feet deep would
be bored with a stick Or iron rod. and
in the spherical cavity about 80 inches
deep produced by the explosion. the
young tree would be placed and COW
cred with the ferfilizer-charged soil.
Perhaps some of the enormous stores
of high explosives left over from the
war could be utilized in this way. A
suggestion already made is that the
United States could put to use some Of
its 100000 or 100OO0,000 tons Of
INT for recIaiming arid deserts. irri-

BROUGHT TOGETHER BY WAR
Pleasing Incident on the Western
Front in Which Sectarianism
Played Small Part.


An army chaplain OF the Episcopal
persuasion tells Of seme experiences
ne had on the western front when his
regiment was Quartered In a little
town. The Huns had destroyed every
thing there, not even leavlng.a build
ing to hold services in. A part OF his
story is as follews:
"Finaliy went to see the Roman
Catholic chaplain, a fine, broad, big
hearted lrishman from Boston. why
not use the church, he said at once.
But l thought it was DESTROYED, and,
anyway, I didn't suppose you'd let

and the altar hadn't~been hurt, so at
eight O'clock in the morning he said
mass in the church. and at $40 | had
my Protestant communion service. and
at 3 80 there was another mass"
To this little narrative we can see
the beautiful logic of the war. The
sacrifice on the awful battle line is
not far different from that of Cal

shed for Oh. We are not going to be
