INSTRUCTIONS FOR
USE OF PYROTOL
War Salvaged Explosive IS
Used Much Like
Dynamite.


Pyrotol Is a high explosive
prepared from surplus war ma
serials. 1t IS composed largely
of ground smokeless powder and
sodium nitrate It is furnished
BY the United States Department
of Agriculture 10 farmers for
Agricultural purposes al the cost
of putting il in cartridge form.
packing and shipping. No charge
is made for the explosive itself.
SensitiveneSs.
Pyrotol Is about as sensitive as
Sodatol. II IS safe TO handle pro-
vided the ordinary care used in
handling dynamite is used II
can be completely detonated by a
No. 6 cap Of either the electric
or fuse type.
II is not sensitive enough to
propagate. and therefore the
electric method Of firing must be
employed when Pyro.ol IS used
for blasting bitches.
Strength and SCATTERING
Effect.
Pyrotol IS about one third
stronger than ordinary dynamite
pound for pound A hundred
pounds Of Pyrotol contains about
30 sticks each Of which is APP
proximstely equal in strength
for agricultural blasting to the
usual stack of dynamite which
weighs s ounces.
The speed or SCATTERING effect
of PyrotOl IS practically the same
as that of sodatoI or s0es dyna-
mite IL IS a very desirable ex-
plosive for stump Blasting and
viii give equally IS good results
IS f0es dynamite for rock blast
ing.
How Used-
Pyrotol is used stick for stick
in exactly the same way As ordi-
nary dynamite or sodstol- When
making the primer the fuse
should not be laced through the
cartridge. otherwise IL can be
made in the sane way zs with
sOdatol- Only Clover brand fuse
should be used with Pyrotol.
VIII Not Feeze.
PyrotoI Will not freeze and
therefore does not require thaw-
ing. II can be used satisfactorily
at any temperature encountered
IN ordinary agricultural blasting
operations
Effects Of Moisture.
The sensitiveness of pyrotol de-
creases with increased moisture
content; il should. therefore. be
stored in a dry place. The car
fridge can be left in wet holes for
several hours without loss Of sen
sitiveness or strength. In such
wet holes the opening in the car

Church at Fl. Randall Built by U. S. Soldiers

Fort Randall, South Dakota, has a
church called a mystery church"
The church, concerning the erection
of which all records were believed
lost. was built in 1875. Its material
was chalk rock, quarried out of the
hills two miles south of the fort by
soldiers of the first United States in
fantry, stationed at the fort at that
time.
The central portion of the building
was intended for the use of the sec
ond 1. o. o. F. lodge organized in
the territory, and made up of
soldiers. The east wing was the
church and the west wing the post
library. The building was used in this
manner until the fort was abandoned
in 1892.
The church was well furnished, all
the pews being two and one-half-inch

ALIENS END


SYNOPSIS,-In the late sum-
mer of 1876, Peter Dinsdale, on
his way to the Black hills to
join the throng of gold seekers,
makes the acquaintance of the
keeper of a Deadwood gambling
house, San Juan Joe, who is re-
turning to Deadwood. On their
way through Red canyon Dins-
dale and Joe meet a young wom-
an running from a party of In
dams. Dinsdale takes her on his
horse and the two men ride
through her pursuers, killing
several The girl is Lottie Carl,
and she has no relatives. Near
DeadWood they overtake a pros
peetor whom Joe nails as old
Iron Pyrites." At Deadwood
City San Juan Joe, popular in the
community, Is given an enthusi-
astic welcome, which is extended
to Dinsdale. Dinsdale tells-Joe
of the robbery of Union Pacific
train at Ogalala, and the gambler
informs the crowd. Joe takes
Dinsdale and Lottie to the house
of a woman of the town, Kitty
the Schemer, Joe's mistress,
where the gambler had intended
to install Lottie. Dinsdale re-
fuses to allow it, taking Lottie
to a house where she will be
safeguarded. Dinsdale saves an
apparently half-witted individual,
known as Scissors, from mis-
treatment at the hands of bad
man." Bandy Allen, who vows
vengeance on Dinsdale. Scissors
nickname is derived from his
ability to cut, with paper and
scissors, remarkable likenesses
of persons, or anything that
strikes his fancy. Dinsdale takes
to him. Iron Pyrites arrives in
town. San Juan Joe hints to
Dinsdale that the town is sizing
him up as a road-agent or train
robber, and advises him to go
with Pyrites on prospecting
trip. He also hints of coming
profitable work" in which he can
interest Dinsdale. At midnight
meeting of road-agents plans are
made to rob one of the treasure
coaches. Dinsdale acquires a
reputation as reckless spender
and an expert gunman.
