these very conditions obtain, and
causing them, by such ruling, to be
cooped up in their poor homes or
forced out on to the streets.
DR.. Bloom also called attention to
the fact that there is much difference
of opinion among physicians them
selves as to whether or not a quaran-
tine is of value; whether or not the
wearing of masks is an effective pre-
ventive;- whether any of the special
vaccines are of value or whether stock
vaccine is of value Moreover, he
said there was a wide variation Of
opinion among physicians as to the
cause, prevention and treatment Of
the alleged disease.
He further criticized the health
boards responsible for the closing
order for their failure to consult the
attendance records of the public
schools to determine If the absences on
account of illness have been much
greater this year than in previous
years, and declared that an investi-
CATION on his own account has shown
that for the month of November the
percentage of absences on account OF
| illness has revealed only a small per-
centage of such increase.

MODERN GUNPoWDER.
Facts About Modern Explosive Need
to Be Better Understood.

1t is incorrect to speak Of the dis
covery of gunpowder, for this COM
pound of saltpetre, charcoal and sui
phur, has been developed-passed
through many stages, and there is no
evidence on which to pin down its in
vention to one man, says writer in
All Outdoors.
In England Roger Bacon is consid-
cred the inventor, and while this is a
disputed point, it is evident that Ba-
con makes the most important refer
ence to gunpowder in a communica-
tion bearing the early date of 1912.
In this and other of his writings
Bacon makes no mention of guns or
the use of powder as propellant, but
merely as an explosive and destruc-
tive powder.
The first mention Of gunpowder as
propellant is in document now In
the National library in Paris. This
bears the date of 1888, and describes
IAN iron weapon called pot de fu, for
propellius bolts, together with some
saltpetre and sulphur to make powder
for the same"
About the time of Elizabeth the
manufacture of gunpowder was car
ried on as crown monopoly, and re-
gulations respecting gunpowder were
made in the reign of James /, in 1928
Powder mills were in existence in
England about the middle of the six
teenth century.
However, Roger Bacon in his ana
gram gives the first recipe for gun
powder as being composed Of saltpe-
tire, 41.2; charcoal, 29.4; sulphur, 2s.4
The composition of gunpowder used in
different countries varies consider
ably.
For making the brown or Coco
powder used in the big guns Of Ger
many the following recipe is used:
Salpetre; rs; charcoal, 10; sulphur
three. In making this powder the
charcoal it not burnt black, but roast
eQ until DTOWU, etilu 10 hieoaS N~'
some variety of straw and not OF
wood.
The adoption by the French gov
ernment of the comparatively smoke
less nitrocellulose of Paul Vieille In
1887, practically put an end to the ole
forms of gunpowder. The first smoke
less powder was made in 1855 by Col
onel E. Schultze by nitrating wooo
meal and adding potassium and BARI
um nitrates.
Smokeless and even noiseless pow
ders seem to have been sought for dur
ing the whole gunpowder period. In
1856 one was experimental with IN
France, but was abandoned, Modern
smokeless powders are certainly less
noisy than black powders, mainly be-
cause of the absence Of metallic salts
which while gaseous in the gun are
elected as solids when coming into
contact with the air.

conjurins With Humor.-The fam
GUS orchestral conductor, DR.. Richter,
is blessed with the precious faculty OF
keeping his temper under strong pro-
vocation and of recovering quickly
from irritation whenever he yields TO
it: that has naturally been a great
help in his dealing with his great or-
chester. At a rehearsal, according to
the Manchester Guardian, one of the
musicians made a mistake.
MOI cried DR.. Richter. ut goes SO

Presently the same player made
another mistake.
mo! No! Rum-tum-tarum" cor
rected DR.. Richter excitedly.
At a third mistake he momentarly
lost patience. "Why do you make so
many slips, Mr.. Green?" he shouted.
Then instantly, with all his habitual
good humor, he added, smiling. "Ah'
1 know why it is-you like to hear me
sing!"
