HAVE N0r YET REACHED LIMIT
More Powerful Explosive Than Any In Present Use Is Dire Possibility
 ef the Future.

Nitroglyce.in. although considered one of the most violent explosives in present use, develops only 1880 cal ories per kllogram, since the nitric acid which it comprises does not take part in the reaction and the hydrogen and the carbon therein give only 43 per cent Of the energy of combustion which they would discngnge if they were alone Explosives of liquid air, or oxylilrlte. give as high as 2,20O calorieS because the liquid oxygen combines directly with the carbon and the hydrogen. The combination of hydrocarbides with ozone, Oaonide of ethylene and ben2lue triozonide, though liberating no more heat of explosion, have higher "breaking value" be- cause of the greater speed of decom- position.
 Theoretically still more powerful explosives are conceivable; trlchlOr- ate of glycerin should develop 5000 calorieS, twice the force of nitro glycerin; and finally, a mixture of liquid hydrogen and liquid ozone, if jt were practical would give about 4,500 calories and would be the most terrible substance possible to obtain.

DADDY OF ALL FISH STORIES
Here Is One That Will Make Any Disciple of lraak Walton Look
 to His Laurels- '.

A reader has asked us to retell the story of the sixty-five pound catfish, which appeared original in the column some six or seven years ago. We have always considered it the best fish story we know. We trust the community will permit us to repeat 1t.
 As we used to tell 1t, the story ran something like this: We were fishing for bass under the old mill dam In the river, south of GrigSby City. Some thing took the bait and lunged away with 1t despite our efforts to hold it. We Surmised, correctly, that 1t was good-sized catfish or drum, and began working it backward and forward across the stream in the deep water under the dam. Eventually we headed the leviathan down stream and finally stranded 1t in the shallow ripple" be- low. It could get neither forward nor back, and with the help of half dozen other fishermen. who were watching the contest. we landed 1t. It proved to be q monster cat of the yellow or Mississippi variety, and weighed sixty five pounds on the scales uptown!- New York Tribune.

Index Finger as Nut Cracker.

Nut crackers, which are based on leverage, make Us suppose that It takes great strength to open nut; and, In fact, everyone knows from experience that without such a little machine 1t Is hardly possible to overcome the hard ness of a nut. And yet one can open hundreds of nuts in very short time without any implement and without any effort whatever merely with the aid of the index finger.
 Place the nut upon a stone or block of wood, but so that the joint stands perpendicular In this position hold it fast with the index finger of your left hand, strike with the right fist hard upon the index, and the nut will at once break asunder. Light blows will not accomplish the feat. One must strike hard. It may happen that the nut will fly away, but this only proves that the joint was not held in a perfectly perpendicular position, which is Indispensable to success. The point of the nut should also be turned toward the chest.

How Birds Save Farmers, Crops.

A farmer who thought the robins were pulling up his young cabbages learned from a student of bird life that the birds were pulling up only those plants which were dead; and this was to get at the wire worms at the root, which had caused the plants to die and which would destroy other cab bages If left alone. In another case @ group of farmers thought the meadow larks were destroying their crops. An ornithOlogist persuaded one farmer to spare the larks on his place. The other farmers shot them. The result was that the man who spared the larks was the only one for miles around who had an oat crop. The birds killed the insects which destroyed the other crops.
