! GUNCOTTON IN GREAT DEMANO Much of This Deadly Explosive la Used in Torpedoes by the Warring Nations. Guncotton ia ysed in enormous quantities for charging torpedoes and mines. Its base is raw cotton waste such as is used in cleaning machinery. This is soaked for several hours in baths of nitric and aulphuric acid, and it is then passed between massive steel rollers. These expel every trace of acid which has not been absorbed by the-cotton. Through continual sockings in water the acid-charged cotton is reduced to a mass resembling paper pulp, and it is th?n ready to be molded into various shapes and sizes. Disks, cylinders, squares and A..I _ t A 1 1 -- luut's ui guucuuun are prwiuceu, according to the shape of the implement in which it is to he used. Intense shock or heat explodes gnncotton, and its power can l>e ganged from the fact that it i? the force _,which blows great holes in ships through the agency of mines and torpedoes. The advantages of gnncotton for military purposes are that it can stay for any length of time in water without injury; its explosions are unattended hv smoke, and it ignites at a temperature half that required to explode gunpowder. A peculiar characteristic of guncotton is that a brick of it, when wet, may he placed on a bed of hot coals, and as the moisture dries out the cotton will flake and burn quietly. If dry originally, however, the guncotton will exnlode with terrihle force at about 320 degrees of heat. HIS DIMES RETURNED TO HIM How a Kansan Proved Honesty of Stranded Harvesters,Is Told by Eastern Journal. "Bread scattered on the waters" is beginning to return to u Hutchinson man who lent a helping hand to harvesters stranded in Hutchinson. Each day for neurly a week Walter Jordan, a wealthy Hutchinson man, distributed ten-cent pieces among a large number of harvest hands gathered here awaiting work. He asked no questions, but gave each mau a dime. .Jordan repeated it daily during the rush last week. The harvest now has started, and most of these men are working in the wheat fields. The mail is beginning to bring Jordan's dimes back to him. Quite a number have been sent back to him bv the harvesters, who arc now re paying him from their first earnings. In some cases the men inclosed extra sums for "interest." Nicholas Bird, commissioner of the board of charities, had a similar experience. Several of the men whom he had assisted arc now sending in remittances making repayment. One man whom he had helped leave town, huving a railroad ticket, remitted the full amount, with interest.?New York Sun. SOUNDS LIKE PAW WAS PEEVED. Little Ijcmuel?Say, paw, what's an artist ?
