OPULAR INTBREST In explosives of all kinds has P been stimulated by the war, and guncotton fis | now one of the commonest and simplest. It is, however, much more than an explosive, as the word is used broadly to denote a whole group of nitrated cottons that find extensive use in the arts of peace | a8 well as in war. “Nitrated” here means combined | with nitrogen by treatment with nitric acid. ¥or | milftary purposes, guncotton is employed in two gen- eral forms: One, as pure nitrated cotton, and the | other as smokless powder, made by dlssolving loose | guncotton to form a jelly, which Is molded into rods, | rains, arme. This Information Is from an article contributed to The American Exporter, by Robert F. Fanning who goes on (o say Nitrated cotton for the peaceful arts is not strictly guncotton, but cotton nitrated to a lower de- &ree of nitrogen contents, thus permitting the finished product to dissolve In various solvents, such as amyl as will best adapt it to the use Intended. Such ni trated cottons are known as soluble cotton, pyroxylin, with their freée BUEAT | or oollodion cotton, and the solution of such cotton a8 pyroxylin varnish or sapon varnish. According to the uses to which these varnishes are put, the solvent is mixed #0 as to give the desired result according to the nature of the article varnished, whether’ silver- plated ware, bronse ornaments, brasswork, leather of various kinds, textiles, etc “To render cotton explosive, it must be treated with nitric acld under suitable conditions, so to wsecure the maximum amount of nitration with the least expenditure of acids, and in the shortest poasible time. The operations from one stage to another re- quire constant oversight, as the slighest carelessness may lead to the production of a cotton of little use for compounding explosives, or it may lead to a dis- astrous explosion. “When guncotton explodes, the entire mass goes off practically at one time—that is, the entire quantity is almost instantly converted Into gas, and not as Aeroplanes and the Army. President Hawley of the Aero Club of Amer- lca has urged President Wilson to request an immediate appropriation large enough to prop- erly equip four aero squadrons for the United Slates army. Here is the weakest part of our present mfilitary establishment. While we may have enough of the flying machines to provide for the necessities of the punitive expedition that is to overhaul Villa, the army as a whole iz deficient in this important arm, Hxpérience in Burope has demonstrated the indispensable service of aireraft in war. It is not in the spectacular battles above the ground, nor in the occasional bomb-dropping reid, that the aviator serves his paredness only half as much as he is “ferninst N"fllm Spee—— ,f Llufluurod voters have until April 8 to to it that their, npmes are proporly enrolled. ay is dangerous. . : EEE—— Direct primary -experience s sbown that candidate who filed lagt often had juat as @ chance as the one who filed first. K e — - In the lexicon of progress there is no such g for Omaha's effort to pull a country. The modern army without air scouts is blind and helpless, and would be an easy prey for an enemy properly equipped. In no partic- ular has the sclence of war made greater ad- | vance than in the adaptation of the aeroplane to the uses of the fighting forces, and no nation has lagged further behind in the matter of its adoption than has the United States. In this mfl Wwe._are repeating the, experience of the ish-American war, Where we sent our sol- diers, armed with the old_ single-shot rifle using black powder, against an army fitted out with high-power repeating rifles and using smoke- less explosives, How costly that mistake would in the case of gunpowder, where the combustion of the charge is progressive. ‘“The raw material preferably used in the manu- facture of guncotton is either clean raw cotton or carded cotton. Other forms of cotton are used, such as cotton-mill waste, but this has certain drawbacks, on account of the mechanical operations necessary to fit it for the chemical treatment.” The cotton must first be thoroughly cleaned and freed from lumps, when it is ready for the nitration, & process described as follows: “‘Nitration is effected in two ways. The dry cotton is dipped in the acld for a given time, removed, and allowed to drain and then digested: or the cotton is first well packed In the nitrating apparatus, and the acid run on it and allowed to remain in contact for the proper time, then run off, and the washing of the cotion follows in the same apparatus. In thig case, the cotton remains stationary while the acld moves; In the former, the cotton moves through the acld. “The nitrating acld s a mixture of strong nit-ic acid and sulfuric acid. The relative amounts of the acids in the mixture and the time of duration of treat- ment of the cotton vary in different plants, but the basic idea is the same; that is, employing such n excess of sulfuric over nitric acid that the nitric will be rendered anhydrous or comcentrated, and main- tained as such in solution in the sulfuric acid, and that the sulfuric acld shall stiil be sufficlently strong to absorb and combine with the water produced during the actual farmaton of the guncotton.' The actual immersion in the mixed acids lasts only a few minutes, but the subsidiary processes may continue the operdtion of manufacture for several the human | have been had Spaii contintied the resistance | days. “Digestion,” during which the aclds clinging and been dolornd pending an inquiry into the tical effect of the mons. ;; No_ matter completely the war submerges other factors f British life, extreme caution must be ob- ed to sdfeguard political trenches.'

She atcepted gllently and all the way along, although the-future statesman tried to engage her in conversation, he could not get her to say anything more than “yes" or “no." Some’ ddys afterward the little girl's mother hap- penad to mest Mr. Lioyd-George, and said to him smil. ingly, “Do you remember my little girl riding with you the other day?

Stupendous Question of Race ulture, HARLAN, la., March 18.—To the Editor of The Bee: As the latter part of the nineteenth century saw the dawn of a new period in the history of human in- dustry and mode of living, brought about by the rapidity with which most wonder ful and revolutionizing Inventions and sclentific discoveries bave been made an® applied, so the beginning of the twentleth century has unquestionably marked the dawn of a new perfod in the development ‘of man himself, brought forth by the tremendous influences and terrific pows which are so stealthily creeping into our midst as to be almost wholly unob- served and yet holding the destiny of the human race within a grasp so domi- nant and unrelenting that the future is awtul to contemplate and possible results &re almost unthinkable. And, yet, these Influences are as sure to sweep the earth within the next few generations as to- morrow’s sun is sure to rise and set. It is becoming more and more apparent to every thinking man, that the human race Is even now entering a period of rapid mental alteration of the most vital and far-reaching character, and that now and all-important forces are joining hands with older ones in one tremendous effort to remodel man, changing his very nature and mental attributes. While pome of these forces are working for our good, many are working for evil, and the stupendous question is: Can we, and will we, harness the good influences fo our own best use and our own great ®ood, and subdue the evil ones before they gain the mastety? This question must be answered within the mext few generations, and, above all other con- siderations before humanity today, this is, beyond the shadow of doubt, the stu- pendous question. Bugenics, is a term derived from a Greek word meaning well born. In its modern applicdtion, it is the name of the science which deals with the influences which .improve, the inborn qualities of a race and encourage action in the direc- tion of perpetuating a higher raclal standard. The founder of the sclence, may be said to be Sir Francls Galton, and the aim of the sclence, as laid down by Galton, is to bring as many influ- ences as can reasonably be employed, to cause the useful classes in the com- munity to contribute more than their proportion to the next generation and to discourage the undesirable classes from contributing their full share. The practical application of the science of eugenics is' dependant upon a thor- ough knowledge of heredity and an in- telligent selection of the better hereditary traits and a rejection of those least de- sirable in encouraging or discouraging future reproduction. If e stupendous question {s to be answered In a way that will satisty the best hopes and highest ambitions of the nobler classes of man- kind, it will be answered by this new and wonderful sclence which has taken root for the first time fn favorable soll in the first few years of this century. Among the foreshadowings of this new period In man's development, I would mention our now universal acceptance of the doetrine of evolution, our recogni- tion of hereditary mental traits, and our growing consclousness of a sacred duty to posterity. These, more than anything else, perhapa, have been the chief factors in developing the science of eugenics upon which depends the salvation of the generations to come It is no longer necessary to point out all the mass of rudimentary organs cling- Ing to the human structure, to convince one’s readers that man has cvolved from lower forms of life. The unbeliever is now the rare exception among the think- ers. And It is no longer necessary to show how nature produced the giraffe's long neck by slaughter of those which could not reach into the higher foliage In times of drouth, in order to convince #n Intelligent people that the lower animals, at Jeast, have evolved from remarkably dfferent forms. ‘The very farmer Is now bringing about these changes among his farnt stock to sult himeelf, and, through practical ex- | perience, knows more about hereditary traits than even the philosophers knew & few decades ago. It is the general acoeptance of these truths which has made possible the great forward move- ment In eugenics during the last few years This movement is worthy of the best thought and closest attention of every continued and periodic | o R A thinking man and woman, ©could be grander than to establish a pro- sram which would leave each succeeding generation better than the last? Here in the United Statea there are many pow- erful influences working against race culture, as, for instance, inheritable dis- eases, racial polsons, the great Influx of the lower classés from the lowest branches of the Aryan races of Europe, the slow, but steady tendency toward an amalgamation of the different races and classes, the tendency of the degenerates to contribute more than their share of the next generation. the diminishing birth-rate among the more cultured and the struggle for existance which tends to eliminate those who are least grasp- ing and aggressive That this subject is of moment is shown by thé fact that every state of our union has passed restrictive marriage laws and thirteen states have passed laws govern- ing the sterilization of degenerates. While the intention of the lswmakers is good, yet the laws are being passed by men who seem to know nothing of the laws of heredity. Eugenist. H. G. BAKER. Below Rio Grande hington Post: Americans in Mexico owe it to themselves and their country to get out of Mexico for the time being. Cleveland Plain Dealer: The capture of A bandit.may not bulk large in the retrospect of history. but when Villa is finally caught the incident is likely to appear to him like a veritable Verdun Baltimore American: Villa now has a price on his head, but his vanity will probably be offended when he. finds that Carranza values him at a mere bagatelie of $20,00, when from his own point of view, his worth probably runs into the millions. Kansas City Times: If there remained some faint belief in credulous minds that Villa might be entitied to some ex- tenuation as a partiot who believed he was doing the best thing for his country, that belief must now disappear. It de- velops that Villa is an orator and ‘“elec- trifies” his troops from the stump. Let General Funston proceed. Chicago Tribune: The best informed opinion is that the task hefore us in Mexico is mot' going to be performed casily, cheaply, or promptly. The situa- tion is now and for some time will re- main highly explosive, and war may be precipitated at any moment. Mexican popular sentiment has been allowed to become so inflamed with contempt and hatred for Americans that the leaders cannot keep it in hand, even If they are disposed to. Philadelphia Record: 1f Carranza's troops really have Villa surrounded the first chief can kill two birds with one stone; he can eliminate the greatest d's- comfort of his political existence, and he can remove all reasons for an American military operation south of the boundary. Let him close in his circle and make sure of Villa and deliver him, alive or dead—we are not very particular which— to General Pershing, and the punitive ex- pedition will be abandoned.
