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

Paw?An artist, son, is a person
who wastes a lot of good paint.
Little Lemuel ? Are there any

Paw?You heard what I said,

CONTRADICTION.
"These styles are very smart."
"Yes," replied the conservative
man; "hut in my opinion the smarter
styles are, the foolisher they look."
UNDESIRABLE OPENINCL
"What's become of Bill?"
"Oh, he opened a store."
"Doing well ?"
"Naw; doin' time."
CAUSE AND EFFECT.
"On hearing my tale, tears fairly
rained from the Miss Sylly'a eyes."
"That's nothing. Don't you know
her mind is cloudy."

I REV. MR. HAIR WRITES
OF HIS WESTERN TRIP
(Continued from Page 1.)
I was a very strong cu\ent of

hence the name. The original
entrance has been closed and
I another made. It is now very
pleasant on the inside, having a
! temperature of 54 in the summer
, and 53 in the winter. There
are nine rooms in the cave enI
tirely different in size, shape and

colors on the walls are beautiful

sparkles ^ith what seems to be
the most real diamonds on every
side. In one room we found
thousands of hair pins. We
were told that thev were left byold
maids on being told that if a
nair pin was left they would find
1 a husband in less than a year.
Denver was reached after four
I hours' ride from Colorado
Springs. Here we visited tht
LI. S. Mint and saw them making
twenty-five cent pieces. Wi

Twenty-live years ago the city*
prohibited the erection of a'

"The Dollar" Mark."
Manager J. E. Jones, of the
vlajestic Theatre, announces that
>n next Monday he will show
the famous 5-reel Wm. A. Brady
feature entitled "The Dollar
VIark." This picture has been
shown to immense crowds in the
arger cities, and a large number
>f Fort Mill people doubtless
vill attend its production here.
Following is a brief story of this

daylis, with his friend Martin,
to sell the mines under the pre-;
tei ses that he is taking a great i
ri.sk due to government regulations.
Jim, knowing the courts
liad decided in his favor, llatly
refuses the offer.
Baylis, with a party, visits the
Cobalt district to look over the
ground. During the visit one
jf - the party, Alice Chandler,
while sketching, is caught in [
a terrific storm. Jim offers the
hospitality of his little hut.
During the storm the dam
breaks, tearing houses from
their foundations and ripping;
n ifht.v trees from their roots.
Breaking down a door, Jim. j
, with Alice, float down the raging,
j cataract until reaching a large
I tree. He chains himself to raft
and tree. Martin, realizing the
j danger, goes to the rescue on I
i horseback.
The party once safely on land,
Jim is again approached to sell,
j but still refuses. Several years
j later Martin has become a friend

The news reaches Jim while
at a party. Seeking a means to
get to New York, Alice's brother|
j offers yacht. During the voyage
Baylis purchases the yacht and:
forces the captain to put to sea. :
Jim in desperation compels Baylis
to enter a hatch, which he
sloses on him, while Martin, at
the point of a revolver, directs'
the yacht. Jim reaches New
York in time to save the bank
