New Explosive.

The Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter
mentions a new explosive being tested
by the government which will save a
considerable amount of glycerin. 1t is
called nitrobyronel and is the product
of DR.. Byron e. Eldred. 1t is claimed
that it blows a chamber twice the size
of that caused by 7. N. Il. (trinitro-
toluol). In the manufacture of nitro
byronel neither nitroglycerin nor to-
luol is used. 1t is a hydrocarbon OBJ
tanned by a by-product in coke-oven
processes.
1t is estimated that 50,000,000 pounds
of glycerin is used in American In
dustrlal concerns, and a big saving in
this important material, now growing
scarce, can be effected through the
employment of nitrobyronel.
If a shortage of glycerin should be-
come imminent, the Oil, Paint and
Drug Reporter believes that the gov
eminent would promptly start in to
manufacture nitrobyronel.

HAS GOOD WORD FOR CROW
sions When Bird Becomes Real
Benei actor to Mankind

There are those who say that the
crow deserves no mercy. There Is
no other pest eradlcator, imported or
otherwise, doing its bit so patriotic
ally ms the self-same crow. In Ba-
MAINLAND, Australia, says the Sydney
Bulletin, the ravages of the sheep
maggot fly must make loss of hun
dreds of thousands Of pounds worth
OF jumbuck every year, about the
only difference in one season being
that the damage is probably greater
than the last. Were 1t not for the
bird whom no one has a good word
for the fly pest would soon duplicate
itself with losses to sheep-owners
increased accordingly. Every dead
sheep or piece of offal in the bush is
the depository of the eggs of unimag-
Unable numbers of prospective sheep
destroyers. Just about the time
that the grubs are the size Of a grain
Of rice, and few days before they
burrow into the soil, where they re-
main for about 10 days before coming
forth, as developed sheep-mag-
got fly, Brother Grow spies out the
colony. Then he sends the glad It'd
ings by wireless system, and all the
family within range hurrles to the
banquet. When 1t Is over a supply Of
grubs for the next meal has to be
found elsewhere.

AVIAT0RS MUST DO STUNTS"
Feats That Seem FooIhardy Really
Are Most Necessary in the Train
ing of firmen.

Before the war there was, says Ed
win Bdwell Wilson in the Yale Re-
view, much criticism of professional
exhibiting aviatOrs who, to thrill spec
tators, put their machines into all
sorts of daredevil attitudes and fire.
quently themselves came suddenly
down to death. In fighting, the ability to
dc all manner of "stunts" is essential.
The more completely a pilot can con-
troll his machine, TIE more easily he
can toss it hither and thither-cutting
fgure-eights, looping the loop, nose
Giving and tail diying-the better
chance he has for his own life and
the more certain he is to get his op-
bonent. Sad as are the continual re-
ports of death by accident at our avla-
ton training camps, we may rest as
Sured that for an unframed pilot to
go overseas to the front is almost GER
tainly fatal, and that for every life
lost in training, many are saved in
fighting. Fortunately airplanes today
are so much stronger structurally and
so much better equipped and con-
trolled than before the war, that this
necessary "stunting" in school and on
the field is no longer really dangerous
the real danger now lies in physical
Inability to "stunt." Not only must
the pilot of the single-seated fighting
scout be thoroughly expert on the
wing, he also must be a crack shot
with his machine gun. Small wonder
that it takes months and months to
train an aviator who may develop into
an ace.

The Least of These.

1t is not the support of nation buy
ing billions of dollars worth of Liber-
ty bonds, breaking bottles over the
sterns of new ships, knitting socks
or cheering us in the movies that
brings home 10 us the magnitude of our
trust.
1t is all fine, but it is ali too big for
any one man of us to grasp. But we
appreciate how great our trust is when
we hear that the folks have had two
pounds of sugar in six weeks, that the
lady next door let her bread burn in
the excitement of reading our last let
ter, and that the lady next door to her
is working in an office and keeping the
children in school while her husband
is over here.-The Stars and Stripes.

A peculiar advantage for the study
Of marine life is credited the biological
station established at Nesslna about
two years ago. The sudden rise Of the
ocean bed at the strait of Messina
causes very unusual upward currents
from great depths. and these are 50
strong as TO bring many Of the deep
sea animals forclbly 10 the surface,

using wooden pals or tubs to make

Of agriculture advocates using ground
