PERILS THAT BESET THE MAKING OF
NITROGLYCERIN.

Nitroglycerin and It peculiarities
are little known, even In loealitiea
nhere It la made. Teople generally
give It a wide berth, and even a less
number know bow it is manufactured.
rrolaMy In no place In the United
States is tliere such a great amount of
the explosive used as In the Indiana
oilfield. Indiana has four nitroglycerin
factories, and they are seldom visited
by curious people.
The explosive Is made from a compo
sition of acids and glycerin. It Is gener
ally pale yellow In color, and quite col
orless when pure. It Is odorless, and
fcas a sweet, pungent, aromatic flavor.
If touched by one's tongue, or even
brought Into contact with the skin. It
will produce a severe headache. A
Urge tank, called an agitator. Is where
the fluid Is mixed, and the mixture is
composed of equal parts of nitric and
sulphuric add. Inside the tank are
several paddles, like those of a churn,
and it Is here that the real danger In
the manufacture exists. The paddles
are put In operation and a steady
stream of sweet glycerin is turned into
a vat until 2-"0 pounds are thoroughly
mixed with the 1.500 pounds of acid.
The chemicals coming in coutact pro
duce an Intense heat, and In order to
obviate the danger cold water Is run
through p'pes encircling and running
through the vat. At 80 degrees F. a
red vapor, almost like fire, arises. If
cutting off the supply of glycerin In the
agitator does not lower the temper
ature. It Is time to say farewell. Before
90 degrees are reached nothing but
atoms of the structure and Its contents
are left.
In Its manufacture water Is used to
food the workroom, since a drop fall
ing on the floor might lead to an explo
sion. Not a nail is to be found In the
floor of the factory, and the visitor is
cautioned not to drag bis feet. Those
who make the dangerous fluid say that
a Jar will not cause an explosion: that
friction and fire are the only agencies
by which It can be discharged. One
may pour a barrel of nitroglycerin
from a high building to a cement walk
below and it will not explode, but a
small quantity of It dropped from the
same height In a can will blow the
building down. A sharp concussion In
stantly touches It off. Factories be
come useless after a few years' opera
tion and have to be destroyed. The
timber becomes saturated with nitro
glycerin and an explosion Is Imminent
at any time.
The average production of nitroglyc
erin from 1.500 pounds of acid and 230
pounds of glycerin is about 150 quarts.
About 1G0 quarts constitute an average
shot for an Indiana oil well. While
magazine explosions are not rare, the
real cause of the blowing up never be
comes known. Those who are close
enough to see the cause always go up
with the building. The average time
for a shooter or nitroglycerin maker to
remain in the business does not exceed
five years. Ieath is instant, and no
one has ever recovered from a nitro
glycerin accident Bodies are torn to
atoms no larger than bits of sausage.
The wages of employees of the fac
tories range from $125 to $150 a month.
Colonel William A. Myers of Bolivar.
N. Y was the man who made and ex
ploded the first Kund of nitroglycerin
In an oil .well. He built the first fac
tory In the United States n-ar Titus
ville. Ta, In 18(18. Up to that time
powder had been used to torjedo oil
wells. It was then that an explosive
that could be discharged under water
was found in nitroglycerin. Colonel
Myers' father was a Philadelphia
chemist and taught his son how to
make It.
The first well torpedoed was on Colo
Bel Mills' lease, near Tltusville. and the
charge consisted of only two pounds.
Oil was worth ?D a barrel then, and a
torjedo that would double the produc
tion of a well was worth tlmost what
the maker chose to ask for It. Colonel
MJ-ers built 12 different factories In
different parts of the oil regions from
JSCS to 1S85, when he retired from the
business. Only one of the original fac
tories stands Intact today. Myers made
several fortunes and spent his money
like a prince, but. fortunately for biro,
he still has a snug sum laid by.
Well shooters spin great j arns of
their experiences, and the stories are
cf the hair raising order. Well shoot
rrs generally are fatalists to a consid
erable degree In their belief, and It la
probably one reason why they do not
fear the fluid. They state that when
one would think It was the most dan
gerous the explosive Is the safest.
The smallest drop can be placed on an
anvil and struck by the heaviest
sledge hammer, and the hammer will
ltound back over the shoulder of the
striker, no matter how much be may
try to hold It. Some claim that it will
tear the arm off. but this is exaggera
tion. Transporting the explosive from
a msgazlne to a well is not as danger
ous as timid people think, according to
the shooters. It is transported In
square cans such as are used for var
nish. In preparing for shooting a well,
a loug tin shell Is suspended in the tub
ing, and the shooter pours the fluid
in as If It was water. It Is not un
usual for M0 quarts to be In a well
Khooter's wagon on one trip. A slight
leak In a can may be touched off by
friction and explode the entire load.
If It should explode In the center of a
town, every building would be reduced
instantly to debris. I jjianapolls Jour

HEAT FR03I THE SUN.
HOW LITTLE OF IT WE GET 18 ALMOST
BEYOND BELIEF.
c-areely Oae San be am la Two Ta
aaad lllllloca Aliarhta I eea This
Earth A Pea Pirtare of the Aetaal
Ceaditioa of the Fiery Orh.
The sun Is for the most part simply
wasting his heat flinging away the
golden rays that are the life of the
world with a recklessness beside which
all human waste is mere parsimony.
It is almost beyond belief. Scarcely
one sunbeam in 2,000,000,000 alights
upon the earth, and allowing for the
whole solar system not more than ope
In ioo.000,000 ever hiu anything, bo far
as we can ascertain. '
Sir Kobert Ball's comment on this
waste of the sun's heat is: Suppose a
man with an income of $1,000,000 a
year. He spends for useful purpose
1 cent and throws the rest away. His
wastefulness is no greater than that
which this old prodigal the sun has
practiced for untold ages.
The untold amount of heat which
thus leaks away through the cracks In
the sky cannot be expressed by figures.
It is only by considering what It might
do that we can get any conception of
!t This Is probably the most striking
Illustration, and Is given by an eminent
astronomer:
Suppose a solid shaft of Ice two miles
square to be extended like a brldgo
across the gulf which separates the
earth from the sun. If a track were
laid on its surface aa express train
running at full speed would require
more than 150 years to traverse It Yet,
If the whole heat of the sun were turn'
ed upon It for a single second It would
be melted, and in a few seconds more
all. even to the railroad iron, wouid
drift away as vapor.
But what is the source of this beat
that Cows Into space as the gulf
stream pours Into the Atlantic, warm-
In" the earth and other planets like lit
tle Islands In lts'course? What keeps
on the supply? '
If the sun were merely a white hot
ball, gradually cooling, our grandchil
dren would Indeed get a chill: or.
rather, neither they nor we would ever
have seen the sun. The final frost
would have fallen long ago.
Nor can the heat be maintained by
fire, as we understand the word such
fire as warms ami now and then
consumes our houses. If It were a
globe of flaming coal It could have last
ed but a few thousand years: It would
have been burned to ashes long before
we were born. All the coal on the
earth would hardly keep the sun going
for one-tenth of a second.
A falling meteor gives out great beat.
Just as a bullet Is heated when It
strikes the target Some have conjec
tured that a vast stream of these little
hailstones raining upon the sun supplies
Its fueL But if the whole mass of the
moon were put Into a stone crusher,
broken up and thrown against the sun.
it would barely furnish heat for a sin
gle year. And no such' weight could
possibly approach the sun without our
knowledge. ( :
Yet In Its own chosen way. the sun
really has its fires. With proper In
struments we may see the red flames
spouting from Its edge, sometimes to a
height of 400.000 mUea-'hlgher than
the moon floats above the earth. To
some of them our world "would be uo
more than a water drop falling from a
fountain. ,'
To gain any Idea of the almost Inex
haustlble reservoir from which the sun
draws Its heat we must first picture Its
actual condition. - Matter there is in a
state unlike anything evef seen upon
earth. It is neither solid nor liquid
nor in any familiar sense gaseous The
sun is a boiling, seething, flaming mix
ture of the gases or vapors of all the
elements condensed by the tremendous
queeie of solar gravity until It is
thicker than pitch, and o hot that its
vaporized Iron might be used for steam
power If there were any boiler fit to
hold It It has no definite surface, but
shades away from this Incandescent
paste, through leaping flames of blood
red hydrogen to the faint streamers of
the corona, as filmy as a comet's talk
This writhing mass, heavier on the
average than water and yet as un
stable as air, does not even rotate like
other orbs, but swirls around Its axis.
In the terrific tension-of these gases
is stored up the energy of the sun. As
this escapes in gushes et heat they do
not cool, but slowly contract. It Is
quite possible that they even grow hot
ter as they thus settle downward and
compress themselves Into a denser
fluid.
A total shrinkage of 220 feet a year
will account for the whole expenditure.
and so small a change In the size of the
disk could not be detected until It had
been watched for thousands of years.
This will go on until the substance of
the sun ceases to be essentially gase
ous. Then will come the beginning of
the end. for from that time forth the
actual temperature of Jibe sun will de
cline, f '
This, however, will Tie In some far
distant day. for careful scientists as
sure ns that our race will eujoy un
diminished sunshine for at least 3,000
years, and perhaps for twice 5.000.
Then, while the sun slowly reddens
and darkens, our earth will die. After
that comes the night of ages. Charles

It Is an interesting fact that when
the dahlia was Introduced into Europe
it was not as a flower that it was
valued, but as a vegetable. The plant
is said to be really akin to the potato.
and It was thought that It would prove
an Important addition to our food re
sources. The single variety seems to
have been imported first the Marchion
ess of Bute having introduced It about
100 years ago. It came to .ns from
Madrid, the Spaniards having, it Is be
lieved, found It flrst In Mexico, and it
was Introduced Into Frame as well as
England.
A few daring adventurers appear to
have made trial of It as an edrble root,
but It Is never an easy matter to popu
larize a new article of food, and the
tulier of the dahlia did not take on. If
It had done so. the probability Is that
we shu!d never liave troubled much
about Its cultivation as a flower. We
never do grow things for fruit and
flower, too. and If we had sacks of

A BULKY RECEIPT. -

A man with a German accent and a
fierce red mustache walked Into one of
the banks the other day and announc

He was directed to the proper official
and trnm a well worn belt extracted
$-"00. This sura he handed through the
window.
The bank official shoved the big sig
nature book toward the depositor for
his signature. Just then the otflclal's
attention was attracted In another di

tache was coolly walking toward the
door with the book, which contained
the signatures of all the depositors In
the bank, tucked under bis arm.
The assistant cashier yelled :
"Hold on. there!"
But the Teuton pursued bis even

The official rushed from behind his
counter and caught the new depositor
Just as be reached the door.
"What are you doing with that
book?" demanded the bank otclal an
grily, laying bold of the precious vol

for my $500!" answered the German,
completely bewildered.
In the same bank a well dressed wo
man called to deposit $300.
The assistant cashier pushed the sig
nature book toward ber. after receiv

"Sign your name there," said the offi

The woman took up the pen and
made a show of writing, but the steel

"The meanest place I ever was In."
said the man who travels for a Chicago
house. "Is down In Massachusetts. Say.
do you know what happened while I
was storing there once? A man had
fallen thfough a bole In a sidewalk and
sustained Injuries that resulted In the
loss of his right arm. He sued the city
for damages, and the case was tried
before a jury, which, the papers said,
was composed of representative citi
zens. Well, what do you suppose they
did to him? Brought In a verdict In
favor of the city, holding that Inas
much as be was left handed his Injury
didn't amount to anything."
"Yes," the cigar man said, "that's a
pretty mean town. I admit, but I know
of a worse one. This place is In Penn
sylvania. An acquaintance of mine
down there was Injured some time ago
In pretty much the same way the man
you mentioned got hurt. He fell on a
bad sidewalk and lost one of his legs.
He sued the city, and didn't pet any
thing. 1 never heard just why. but
proluil ly because the jurors didn't be

he was crossing the principal street
this peg In some way got wedged be

Coat of a Loaf ef Bread.
The average "pound loaf" of fresh
bread sold by bakers, says a college
professor, weighed on an averageabout
one pound one ounce. A pound loaf of
bread can be made from about three
quarters of a pound of flour, about 25
per cent of water being added to the
flour during the process of breadmak
Ing. With some flours 5 to 10 per cent
more water can be absorbed, making
a greater weight of bread from a given
weight of flour. This additional weight
Is water and not nutrients.
At 2 cents a pound for flour It Is es
timated by the professor that a pound
loaf of bread can be made, not count
ing fuel and labor, for about 2 cents, a
half cent being allowed for shortening
and yeast The loss of dry matter in
breadmaking Is usually considered as
amounting to about 2 per cent of the
flour used. In exceptional cases, as In
prolonged fermentation, under favora
ble conditions the losses may amount
to 8 per cent or more.

There can be very little doubt that
the potter's wheel, or potter's lathe, as
it Is also termed, represents today the
most ancient form of machine tool
known. Among the many sculptured
records of the trades and occupations
which so vividly represent the customs
and habits of the anient Egyptians
the potter and his wheel have Wvn
found frequently depicted, and It Is
crrlous to note that through the al
most countless generations since that
time this crude type of lathe bas under
gone no material modification.
The primitive form was evidently a
small, round table set on a pivot nnd
free to revolve, being turned by hand
at Intervals, and to this device there
were added In the course of time such
simple conveniences as a table to sup
port It and a foot or a band power turn
hig arrangement, displaced In recent
years in possibly a few isolated cases
by actual engine power driving. In
general use. however, the potter's
wheel of the present time bears .ill the
characteristics of the one which. 4.000
years or more ago, served to turn out
pottery attesting unsurpassable taste
