STEEL PHOTOS
PRODUCED WITH
AID OF BLAST
Nitro Gelatin Explosive Is
Used to Get imprint
on Metal.

6U science NcFttte
WASHINGTON, May 25.-Shoot-
ing a photograph into the hardest
of chrome steel with the aid of high
explosive nitro gelatin, and so
making a Photographic record as
permanent as the steel itself, is
the feat that has been accom-
plished as a result of the Mum
roe effect" This effect was the
discovery of DR.. Charles E. Mum
roe, veteran explosives expert of
the United States Bureau of Mines
here.
An incidental result of the work
is the proof that the black in a
Photographic print are due to vary
ing thicknesses of finely divided
silver, the thicker the deposit, the
darker being the shadow in the
photograph.
The steel photograph was made
recently by G.. st. j. Perrott, super
intendent of the Bureau of Mines
experiment station at Pittsburgh,
and sent by him to DR.. Munroe. To
make it, d photograph of DR.. Mum
roe was laid on piece of steel
about two inches in diameter and
an inch thick. On top of this was
placed a disc-shaped piece Of the
nitro-gelatin explosive, which was
then fired.
Paper Photo Lost
Though the photograph was COM
pletely destroyed, when the steel
cooled sufficiently to be handled, the
profile of DR.. Munroe was found i'm
pressed on the surface. Where the
photograph had been black, that is
in the shadows, the surface of the
steel was raised, and where there
had been high lights, the steel was
incised.
Another example of the effect
that is in DR.. Munroe's possession
now was made by w. o. Smelling, di-
rector of research of the Trojan
Powder Company. In this case the
words 'Munroe Effect" were i'm
pressed into the surface of a block
of the explosive, so that the letters
were intaglio. When this was eX-
ploded on disc of the steel the let
tiers appeared on it.
However, they were also in in
taglio on the steel. This is the OPP
posite from what would be OBJ
tanned with die, for then the in
taglio letters on the die would come
out in relief on the finished product.
Solid Becomes Gas
DR.. Munroe. explains the effect
by saying that when the detona-
ton of the explosive occurs, the en-
tire amount of the solid is con-
verified to gas. This volume of gas,
however, momentarily has the same
size and shape as the original
block of the explosive, and is there
fore extremely compressed.
Where there was a cavity in the
original Explosive is the line of
least resistance for the escape of
the rapidly moving gas molecules.
In seeking to escape, they collide
with each other, producing a vast
number of tiny molecular drills,
which bore into the hardest steel.

The Rescue of Courtney

The Importance of the radio and OF an
airplane capable of remaining afioat on
water in overseas flights was illustrated
yesterday in the rescue of Capt. Frank
T. Courtney and three companions by
the steamship Minnewaska after they
had been adrift for hours III mid
Atlantic Capt Courtney III his huge
flying boat, was attempting to make
the first caSt-to-west ocean flight from
the Azores to Newfoundland For four
teen hours the ship winged its way
over water, but was forced down, sup
posedly by engine failure. For ten
hours Capt Courtney and his crew
drifted helplessly on the water, but
were finally sighted and rescued by the
steamer, which answered their calls
for aid.
Had the gallant British flyer not car
ried radio or chosen flying boat for
the long Journey, his name would prob
ably have gone down in history as an
other who essayed q hazardous trip
with incomplete preparation and equip
ment To these two things he un-
douhtedly owes his life. 1t is matter
OF extreme regret that Capt. Courtney
did not succeed in accomplishing that
which he set out to do. The consola-
ton lies in the fact that he is alive
to try again instead of being listed as
among those missing" on overwater
flights.

all eases investigation proves that they
are due to hidden flaws In the material
which do not develop until breaking
strain is imposed A theory is enter
tanned by some engineers that fabricated
steel after period of use becomes
subject to fatigue" which is due to
crystallization leading to a sudden de-
velopment of fatal weakness.
In any enterprises involving the
handling of ponderous masses and
heavy weights there is always the pos
sibility Of mishap Gables may be-
come frayed or strained to yield un-
expectedly. Steel may become weak
ened by use or by rust, despite all pro-
tectivc endeavors. Even inspection at
frequent intervals may fail to disclose
flaws. This liability imposes a heavy
responsibility upon those in charge of
such works and when accident occurs
there should be always the most
thorough inquiry to determine whether
there has been any lapse Of attention
or any fault of Judgment.

Sees in Spiritualism
the Essence of Religion

To the Editor Of The star
/ see in The Evening Star of Friday
July 20, that the District Commission
ers, in denying application of the Ma
tional Spiritualist Association from
tax exemption on its headquarters make
the following statement 'SpiritualiSm
Is not religion They make in this
affirmation grave mistake, as Spiritu-
ahsm Is the very essence of religion,
for without Spiritualism there would
be no religion.
Take the sacred books of all nations,
the gospel of Buddha, the Koran OF
Mahomet, the legends Of the Talmud
and with them put the Old and New
Testaments-here are combined the re-
ligious history and revelations Of the
vital fame Of truth in every one OF
these books, giving light and life to
their pages. Spiritualism'S great fea-
ture Is to bring man into communion
with the spirit world. and this has
ever been the source from which every
religious system was born.
AS Moses, Jesus and Mahomet went
up on the mountain TO talk with spirits
and Buddha listened to their voices
within the walls of his palace. so the
great founders of religious systems re-
ceived their knowledge through spirit
return from the ancient times UP to
the present
II is the aim and purpose Of modern
Spiritsiaiism TO emphasize this supreme
fact of spirit return and spirit COM
munion, which is the vital principle
from which all religions have evolved
It's great work Is to create a religion of
such universal appeal that all mankind,
regardless of race creed or color, can
find within its portals room to worship
God and come into intelligent COM
munion with His ministering spirits.

U. S. Diplomacy Gains

From the New Orleans Morning Tribune,
American diplomacy seems to be es-
tablishing itself on a new basis. with

The erstwhile euVoyS and plenipoten-
tiaries seem TO be profiting by the dis
covery that Lindbergh's methods ac-
complished great deal, and are cap
italizing friendship rather than dignity.
Not all OF them can be so fortunate
and so opportune as Ambassador Grew,
who has twice assisted in the rescue
of Turkish women from perilouS situa-
tions. The first tine he found two
Turkish girls in smashed automobile
on q lonely road. and hastened with
them to a hospital Now he improves
upon that by !eaping overheard from

Carefully we measure her passage IN
unknown quantities, which we call sec

as unthinkable as a minute, and a
minute as an hour and a month as
