THE REASON WHY

What Happens When Anything ExDIodesp
by explosives are meant substances that
can pc maze 20 give off large quantity Of
gas in an exceedingly short time. and the
shorter the time required for the production
OF the gas the greater will be the violence
of the explosion Many substances that ordi-
narily have no explosive qualities may be
made to act as explosives Gnder certain cir
cumstances Water, for example, has caused
very destructive boiler explosions when a.
quantity Of it has BEEN allowed to enter an
empty boiler that had become red hot Parti-
cles of dust in the air have occasioned explo-
sions in saw mills, where the air always CON
tains large quantities Of dust flame intro
duced into the air that is heavily laden with
dust may cause sudden burning OF the par
ticles near it, and from these the fire may
be conveyed so rapidly to the others that the
heat will cause the air to expand suddenly,
and this, together with the formation of
gases from the burning, will cause an ex-
plosion.
It must not be thought. however, that fine
sawdust or water would ordinarily be classed
as explosives The term Is generally applied
only to those substances that may be very
easily caused to explode.
The oldest and most widely known explo-
sive that we possess is gunpowder the inven-
ton of which IS generally credited to the
Chinese 1t is mixture of potassium, nj
trate, or saltpeter, with powdered charcoal
and sulphur. The proportions in which these
of powder, but they usually do not differ
much from the following:
Sulphur 10 per cent
Charcoal ........... 16 per cen
Saltpeter ..74 per cent
The explosive quality of gunpoWder is due
to the fact that it will burn with great rapid
ity without contact with the air, and that
in burning it 1iberates large volumes of gas.
When a spark is introduced into it, the car
bon, charcoal and sulphur combine with a
portion of the oxygen contained in the salt
peter to form carbonic acid gas and sulphur
Gus acid gas, and at the same time the nitro
gen contained in the saltpeter is set free in
the gaseous form. This action takes place
very suddenly, and the volume Of gas set free
is so much greater than that of the powder
that an explosion follows. r..
In the manufacture of gunpowder all that
is absolutely necessary is,to mix the three In
gradients thoroughly and In the proper pro-
portions. But to fit the powder for use IN

of production with patience They realized
that the time was not propitious to attempt
anything that might interfere with the
prosecution of the war. They accepted and
bore their share of the increased cost of
things with the same spirit Of patriotism
that they supported the Government loans
and subscribed generously to the Red Cross.
But the war is over, and the things that
were endured during the period of hostih-
ties cannot be endured forever. The day of
reckoning has arrived. American industries
must be restored to a peace-time basis The
American manufacturer must meet World
competition, or go broke" and the public
is entitled to relief from the ever increasing
cost of the necessaries of life. Good, hon
est hard work is the remedy. The Bethle-
hem Shipbuilding Corporation, in it's de-
cision to temporiZe no longer with clock
watchers and slackers, has adopted a policy
that will help materially to bring the relief
for which the public is crying.

war requirements made quantity and speed

The public will welcome this step as Initial

Renublican senators favorable to the rati-
fcation of the peace treaty with interpreta-
tions that do not impair it's validity are dis
cussing a COMPROMISE with Senator Lodge ION
the assumption that he wants ratification"
They will make greater progress, probably,
by assuming that he wants rejection
Mr. Lodge has made two set speeches on
this subject The first, delivered year ago
this month, long before pen was put to
naper at Versailles, indicated his hostility to
everything in the way of rdealsm then in
contem plation. The second, in August last,
with the treaty in his hand, was an arraign-
ment of the covenant SO severe that no one
doubted his purpose to defeat it.
More convincing, however, than any words
have been the senator's deeds. Supported by
his hacked committee on foreign relations he
has proposed scores of amendments to the
treaty the adoption of any one of which
would have amounted to rejection When
all these failed Of acceptance by reason of
the opposition of Democrats and the very Re-
publicans who are now assuming" that he
wants a treaty of some kind, he and his fol-
lowers adopted fifteen reservations, some of
them being in fact amendments. It is to CON
vert these amendments into acceptable 4,-
terpretations, so that the ratification OF the
treaty will be ratification indeed, that the
compromisers of both parties are now at
tempting.
The senator's attitude is further illustrated
by his ecstacy over the performances of the
enchanted p01L d AnnunZio at Fiume Nv

own government and the allied nations A.

colossal winter deficits and the Presidents

There should be no further indulgence of
legislative delay on this tremendous problem.
Now that the time forsthe Governments step

be if the railroads should be, thrust back to
