H7 1 WOMEN IN ARSENALS HANDLE EXPLOSIVES WITH SKILL AND FEW ACCIDENTS. ; Government Declared to Have Gained a Hundredfold Since Their Em ployment Quickly Become Expert, Always Careful. Much of the important work at the United States government arsenal at Frankfort, Pa., Is in the hands of women who are as Bkllled at making deadly weapons as are their Bisters as nurses In army hospitals or on the fields of battle. They are regarded more trustworthy, proficient and conscientious than men, and are in such demand in many departments that they are worked In two shifts. Even In the fuse room, where tho most dangerous work Is undertaken, wom en are employed and accidents are few and far between, due in a large measure, It Is declared, to the greater uare taken by the female employees. Most of the work in the hands of the women is regarded as skilled la bor, and it is strange to see such cap lions as "Mary Mntliews, skilled labor er." Every precnutlon Is taken to safeguard the workers and no one Is overworked, but the government has gained a hundredfold since the wom en have entered the arsenal as work ers. Each cartridge inspector In the ar senal Inspects 31,500 cartridges a day, an average that haB been maintained for several years. This work Is very Important, for the slightest defect, one not even to be detected by the experi enced eye, might mean a premature sxplosion and the loss of an eye, limb or life to a soldier. It Is Interesting to watch the girls, most of them quite young, handling the big machines, some automatic and some hand-fed, in the rooms where the cartridges are tapered and clipped. In this work eight girls are employed and each one handles 33,000 cartridges day. The girls employed on the gauger are especially expert, and have been In the arsenal a number of years. One girl gauges the cartridges and two in spect them. The gauger is also an ex pert inspector, and when the supply getB too large for the girls to handle she assists them. The cartridge passes from the gaug Br to a weighing machine, and if the powder shot Is the slightest degree underweight the machine throws it Dut. Every cartridge is weighed a second time. It is Interesting to note that not an underweight cartridge has reached the Philadelphia section of the arsenal In five months. High Explosive Shells. One of the aurprises of the war has been the great relative demand for high explosive shells as compared with the demand for shrapnel. The consumption of both has exceeded all estimates, but it is Bhell that the new sonditions have most strikingly af fected. There was a time when It was ionsldered more noisy than dangerous md in field operations more useful to shake the enemy's nerve than to in diet damage; while as to the deadli- less of shrapnel against an enemy that It could reach there has never been luestton. But In the elaborate trenches employed In this war the men are fairly well sheltered from shrap nel, and for the special purpose of pre paring the way for an attack high ex plosive Bhell in prodigious quantities Is required. That the British are still short is indicated by the complaint of the Times' correspondent that the ad vance attempted near Fremelles was weakened by a forced economy in the use of ammunition. The French seem to be better off, and if the Germans have felt any scarcity on either front they have succeeded in keeping it a Becret, which is the next best thing to having plenty. Most Primitive Race of Men. The North pole natives alluded to by Captain Amundsen in a recent lec ture were discovered by him while he was navigating his little craft, the Gjoa, through the Northwest Passage in 1903-1907. He christened them Nechilll, and considered them to be the most primitive race on earth. No white man had ever before invaded their icy fastnesses. Consequently they were ignorant of the use of iron. Their fishing implements were long spears, fashioned out of reindeer horn. They knew no other method of procuring fire than that of rubbing two pieces of wood together. They were, in short Btill in the stage of civilization reached by our ancestors of the stone age. Bo cut off were they from others of their kind that they Imagined their tribe was the only one in the world, and dis played the utmost astonishment when told of populous countries far to the south, where neither Ice nor snow was, The Gjoa and her crew they thought to have dropped from the moon, and the first Nechilll to come aboard felt the deck, masts, boats, oars, all the while whispering to one another In amazement: "How much wood there Is In the moon how very much!" Horse's Skull to Improve Acoustic. In demolishing the parsonage of the Lutheran church, built eighty-two years ago, the skull of a horse was found embedded In the wall. In this section there Is a superstl tion that if the skull of a horse' is placed under the church It would help the acoustics properties, and the voice of the minister or any one occupying the pulpit could be heard to better s dvantage.

CURIOUS TRAP FOR SNAKES Naturalist Tells of Seeing a Biscuit Can Used by Natives to Cap ture Cobra, A naturalist tells us of an odd hind of snake trap that caught its victim securely. It was a biscuit can, and in the bottom of It were some macaroons. A cobra spied the can, but a mouse was ahead of the cobra. The little thief was having a good time regal ing himself on the maciroons, all un conscious that a snake was preparing to regale itself on mouse. Into the can went the head of the snake, but the head that went in was destined to come out less easily, The rough edges of the can Irritated the cobra, and in voluntarily it dilated Its hood. That made It a prisoner. With the hood dilated the head could not be with drawn, and the cobra remained In its tin prison until morning, when it was easily captured and killed. Stradling, who knows the natives of India as well as he knows the snakes of that land( tells of an In teresting theory held by these peo ple. They are firmly convinced that for every human being a snake bites it loses one joint. When the rumber of deaths the snake has caused equals the number of its joints, the venomous head alone remains. The snake has now reached the height of Its wicked desires, and at this point It develops wings and triumphantly disappears. An exception to this rule Is found on tli other side of the world, in the case of the rattl. snake, for the natives of many parts of this country are said to believe that this snake gains a thimble for every man it kills. By counting those some folks pretend to an ability to calculate with pre cision how many persons a particular rattlesnake has bitten. But this -s, of course, as great a superstition as that held by the Hindus. A Voice for Potatoes. Most persons in this country have pitied the men and women on the con tinent of Europe who are compelled to eat bread made wholly or partly of potato flour. Yet here come ex perts of the home economics depart ment of Cornell teliing us that pota toes and meat may be a better food combination than bread and meat. These experts declare that there Is good reason for favoring potatoes. Meat, eggs and cereals, they Bay, con tain mineral elements which give an exceBs of acids, while vegetables, fruit and milk have an excess of bases that neutralize the acid. Meat produces an excess of acid, and the food that ac- jinpanles It should, therefore, give an excess of alkali. Rice, bread, maca roni and cornmeal produce acid, and so do not fill the need. But potatoes are the natural accompaniment of meat, because they produce baseB. "Most persons," according to these experts, "should make it a point to eat mere potatoes than they are now con suming." Buffalo Express. Hiking Best Grippe Killer. The epidemic of Influenza that has been troubling the city for nearly a month continued last week, according to a mortality bulletin Issued yester day by the board of health. The state ment says there were 85 deaths In the city last week from this cause, or 20 more than the number for a single week of 1914. Depaty Health Commissioner Em erson says the best way to avoid catch ing Influenza Is to walk a mile In the open air twice a day. It will add ten years to a perBon's life, the doctor asserts. The number of deaths reported dur ing the week ,as .,778, compared with 1,566 in the corresponding week of 1914, the death rate increasing from 14.63 to 15.98 per 1,000 of population. Despite the epidemic of influenza the death rate for the first 16 weeks of the year, 14.66, is .81 below the mortality for a similar period of 1914. New York Sun. Oil Cans Save Life. A novel Idea was responsible for the saving of many lives from the cruiser Hermes after the ship was torpedoed in Dover straits. A sup ply of the life-saving pneumatic col lars ordered by the admiralty had been eipected, but the Hermes had te put to sea before these were re ceived. When the vessel was torpedoed no assistance was at hand. She was set tling down, and a great disaster threatened, when someone thought of petrol tins, of which 400 were on board. The order was promptly given to empty the tins and screw down the stoppers, and on these tins scores of men who must etherwise have been drowned kept afloat until help ar rived. Immunity Expected. "Have you any mosquitoes here In summer?" "Well," replied Farmer Corntossel, "we had a few last year.

The killing of a fish by a sword by a lieutenant of the Royal Engineers receives much publicity. It may not have been hard to do, for pike often move sluggishly, and on tine warm days they have a habit of basking on the surface. In Scotland people shoot pike regularly, the corpses being brought ashore by retriever dogs But in Scotland they Bhoot several things that in England we kill in other ways. Foxes, for example.

Drums on Horseback. The earliest date at which drums were carried on horseback in England appears to be 1542, when Henry VIII sent to Vienna for kettle drums that could be played on horseback "after the Hungarian manner." Mounted bands were in vogue in the last dec ade of the eighteenth century, the two regiments of life guards having them In 1895. No Danger This Season. "I'm glad of one thing about the war, anyhow."
