Science

It is just 200 years since the death
of M Charles. a Frenchmau, who
first filed a balloon with hydrogen
gas. The gas was extensively made
by the action of sulphuric acid on
iron.
Charles and Montgolfer were the
pioneers in flying The latter was
the first to show he could fly above
the earth, but the former invented
most of the appliances that made
ballooning practical Charles himself
was the only person who had the
courage to make the initial trip in
the hydrogen balloon This voyage
was remarkable because he assembled
to the height of 5000 feet, above the
Tuileries.
After this success he invented the
safety valves. the balloon car and the
carrying of ballast. He was also the
first to rubberize the silken envelope
to make it hold gas, and he intro
duced use of the barometer in
ballooning to indicate height of the
ascent.
Unlike many notable inventions the
utility of the balloon was soon recog-
nized. This use has been confined
mostly to military purposes.

GERMANY IS
CONTROLLING
CHEMICALS
Defeated Nation Would Turn
Great Dye Plants Into
War Factories,
By HERBERT QUICK

a BRITISH specialist, Victor Lee
"A febure. has published in Amer
= lea a book entitled The Rid
die of the Rhine" which ought to be
interesting to everybody interested in
war or peace. Its message to Britain
is the great chemical plants of Ger
many ought to be destroyed or rem
dered useless. since they constitute
great arsenals for the production of
war chemicals. Also organic chem
istry plants should be established on
British soil Here are some of the
reasons:
Germany has her monopoly Of or
ganIc chemistry left unimpaired by
the war. Her great dye, nitrogen and
other chemical plants can be changed
over in a day or a week into plants
for making poison gas and other poi
son war chemicals and explosives. The
Versailles Treaty forbids making war
thus. but the nation that has the
plant will use It when ii goes to war.
And when we disarm in other ways.
war with poison chemicals will be all
powerful Aircraft will multiply in
peace. Dye works and other plants
devoted to organic chemistry will
give the nation with such a monopoly
the power to overwhelm any other
nation with chemicals. in the use of
which aircraft will be invaluable.
Hence the organic chemistry of the
world must as a measure of common
sense ard safety, be distributed among
the nations.

Willing

BY BERTCN BRALEY
If all we wanted came to hand,
Responsive to our least demand,
If all we hoped for we could get
Without bit of work or fret;
If WEAKNESS and constant strife
Were absent from our daily life;
And everything that really matters
Were slipped to us on silver platters,
If dreams we cherish should come
true
Simply because we wished them to-;
And what we wanted or required
Could come exactly as desired;
We'd miss, perhaps, a certain zest
That comes from meeting every
test;
And life might prove a fearful bore
After a dozen years or more;
Our moral fiber might decay
From having everything our way;
But most of us, we can't deny it,
Would like a little chance to try it.
