New and Powerful Explosive.

For many years mercury illuminate
has held Its place as a detonating
substance superior to all Others, OF
recent, years. however, Its place has
been threatened by other compounds
which bid fair to replace It. One Of
the most promising OF these is lead
ABIDE, a salt of hydronitric. acid. This
acid forms great number OF salts,
as mercury ABIDE, silver azide and So
dunn ABIDE. Large crystals Of lead
ABIDE and mercury ABIDE have been
found to be very sensitive to mechani-
cal shock, says the Scientific Ameri-
can, the sensitiveness increasing with
the size of the crystals. Even the
breaking Of single large crystal is
said to bring about explosion. Crys-
tails as large as 3 nm. in length, when
dry, often explode when brushed with
a feather. it-.s e. ID tt3

FEEDING CATTLE HERE

w. G. Sollenberger is feeding
thirty-three cows at ais farm above
town. He gives them about 100
pounds of beet pulp apiece daily and
thirty pounds of hay. " ~ 7 'ln
At first the cows would not eat the
pulp, but that was remedied by shut
ting off their drinking water, and
they took to the pulp on account of
the drouth. Mr.. Sollenberger says
the cows are looking fine and he has
not tried them on water for about
three weeks. He thinks they might
do better If they had an occasional
drink, but no water is handy and the
cows seem happy, SO they are going
on the practice of "it's long time
between drinks" n9fgn3H1y y u 3

The people Of Bingham county are

dust tax is by many people consid-

the dust tax can be repealed by a

followed by activity on making hard
surfaced roads, on which mud and
dust cannot live, it being too hard for
the germs to get a f0OthOld.
Wearing a mask or blue glasses OF
goggles has been found to be Of little
use since the mud and dust still ex-
ist, even after the masks and goggles
have passed by. The only permanent
cure Is to lay some kind OF hard sur
taced road wherever there Is heavy
:ravel. The trouble is both local and
general.

They are from ten to twelve inches

Handsome furs are used extensively

Crinoline Dresses.-The new feature

Narrow Braid Trimming-Thcre is

High standing collars are on some
afternoon dresses, which generally

Extreme Back Observation-Disclosures
dresses emphasize the extreme back

ruches over the hips.
Chantilly and metal laces have been
