More Powerful Explosive Than Any In
Present Uce Is Dire Possibility
cf the Future.
Nllroglyrerln, although considered
one of the most violent explosives In
present use, develops only 1,.rS0 cal
ories per kihi'.rrani, since the nitric

or oxyliqiiile, give ns high as 2.200
calories because the liquid oxygen
combines directly with the carbon and
I he hydrogen. The cnmjilimtln:) of
h.vdrociirbldes with ozone, oznnldc of
ethylene ami benzine triozoiihle, though
liberating no more heat of explosion,
have a higher "breaking value" be
cause of the greater speed of decom
position. Theoretically, still more powerful
explosives are conceivable; n Irlchlor
ate of glycerin should develop 3,000
calories, twice the force of nitro
glycerin; iiinl finally, a mixture of
liquid hydrogen and liquid ozone, if It
were practical, would give about 4,n00
calories and would be the most terrible
substance possible to obtain.

Here Is One That Will Make Any
Disciple of Izaak Walton Look
to His Laurels.
A reader has asked us to retell the
story of Jlie sixty-five pound catllsh,
which appeared original In the column
some tils or seven years ago. We have
always considered It the best fish story
we know. We trust the community
will permit us to repent it.
As we used to tell It, the story ran
something like this: We were fishing
for buss under the old mill dam In the
river, south of Grlgsby City. Some
thing tool; the bnlt nnd lunged nwny
with It despite our efforts to hold It
We surmised, correctly, that It was n
good-sized catfish or drum, nnd began
working It backward nnd forward
across the stream In the deep water
under the dam. Eventually we headed
the levlathnn down stream nnd finally
stranded it in the shallow "ripple" he-
low. It could get neither forward nor
back, and with the help of half a dozen
other fishermen, who were wntchin
the contest, we landed It. It proved
to he a monster cat of the yellow or
Mississippi variety, and weighed sixty-
five pounds on the scales uptown.

MAY IS!: OIL FIKLDS
I'Olt WAIt ITKPOSF.S
Tile need for oil and gasoline for
,ar purposes ami the disposition o:
private interests to interfere with
production has brought on a crisis
Ich is likely to result in some spec
tacular consequence.
It might mean even the comman
deering of all oil fields, wells and
means of production and transporta
tion for the period of the war.
Months ago a lousing hill was
worked through the house and sen
ale and sent to a noii-actlve confer
ence coinmittoe where It now reposes.
A shortage of' oil measured at
0,000 to HO, ooo barrels a day is re
ported by the oil producers
The oil fields are not being worked
tli"y should he owing to the- pro-
trailed tend over rights to take oil
from lands which have been sot aside
naval reserve and hinds which
I. ave never left the government iios-
ession.
Incidentally, there is likely to lie
feneral overhauling of the oil nd-
ninistration in Garfield's fuel de
partment. Some of the men selected
to help Garfield deal with the oil
and fuel problems have been recent
ly found to In' connected with the In
terests which Attorney General Greg
ory is fighting. For the sako of har
mony some of these genetlemeil will
lie ousted.
What congiess will do with the
leasing bill depends now on what the
rresldent will do with tlio question
whether to commandeer tho oil fields
and pipe liuvs.

Index Finger as Nut Cracker.
Nut crackers, which, are based on
leverage, make us suppose that It lakes
great strength to open a nut; and, In
fact, everyone knows from experience
that without such a little machine It Is
hardly possible to overcome the hard
ness of n nut. And yet one can open
Hundreds of nuts In a very short time
without any Implement nnd without
any effort whatever merely with the
oia of the Index finger.
Place the nut upon a stone or a
block of wood, but so that the joint
stands perpendicular. In this position
hold it fast with the Index finger of
your left hand, strike with the right
flat hard upon the index, and the nut
will at once break asunder. Light
blows will not accomplish the feat.
One must strike hnrd. It may happen
that the nut will fly awny, but this
only proves that the Joint was not held
in n perfectly perpendicular position,
Which Is Indispensable to success. The
point of the nut should also be turned
toward the chest.

How Birds Save Farmers' Crops.
A farmer who thought the robins
were pulltog up his young cabbages
learned from a student of bird life that
the birds were pulling up only those
plants which were dead ; and this was
to got at the wire worms at the root,
which lind caused the plants to die
and which would destroy other cab
bages If left alone. In another case a
group of farmers thought the meadow
larks were destroying their crops. An
ornithologist persuaded one farmer to
fipare the larks on his place. The
other fanners shot them. The result
was that the man who spared the larks
was the only one for miles around who
had an oat crop. The birds killed the
insects which destroyed the other
crops.. . ...
