Whereas to add but one kernel of corn to each ear grown in this country in a single year would increase the supply 6,000, 000 bushels.” One improvement in the potato is already paying back $17,000,- Everything we eat and wear comes out of the ground.

It can safely be compressed to a greater degree than any other explosive now in use, so blocks of it can be compressed hard enough for billiard balls. A compress- ed block can then be sawed into small- er blocks, using a steel handsaw. The small blocks may then be placed on a lathe and ‘turned until perfectly round balls'have been made. On the billiard table, any ordinary knocks will not rouse the latent power of the explosive. If a careless player happened to drop a lighted match on one of the balls after lighting his.cig- arette it might cateh fire, ywhen ‘it would burn rather slowly. Yet it is much ‘more powerful than guncotton, teriorate. Rifle bullets have been fired into a block of it at a distance of about sixty-five feet 'without: causing it to ex-i. plode.
