GUNCOTTON IN GREAT DEMAND
Much of This Deadly Explosive Is
Used in Torpedoes by the
Warring Nations.
Guncotton is used in enormous
quantities for charging torpedoes and
mines. Its base is raw cotton waste
such as is used in cleaning machin
ery. This is soaked for several hours
in baths of nitric and sulphuric acid,
and it is then passed between massive
steel rollers. These expel every trace
of acid which has not been absorbed
by the cotton. Through continual
soakings in water the acid-charged
cotton is reduced to a mass resem
bling paper pulp, and it is then ready
to be molded into various shapes and
sizes. Disks, cylinders, squares and
tubes of guncotton are produced, ac
cording to the shape of the imple
ment in which it is to be used.
Intense shock or heat explodes
guncotton, and its power can be
gauged from the fact that it is the
force which blows great holes in
ships through the agency of mines
and torpedoes. The advantages of
guncotton for military purposes are
that it can stay for any length of
time in water without injury; its
explosions are unattended by smoke,
and it ignites at a temperature half
that required to explode gunpowder.
A peculiar characteristic of gun
cotton is that a brick of it, when wet,
may be placed on a bed of hot coals,
and as the moisture dries out the
cotton will flake and burn quietly.
If dry originally, however, the gun
cotton will explode with terrible
force at about 320 degrees of heat.
A DELIBERATE INSULT.
Bojax—I stole a kiss from Miss
Lovett the other evening, and now
she won’t even speak to me.
Tomdix—Why didn’t yon apolo
gize?
Bojax—I did. That’s what made
her mad.
CONTRADICTION.
‘"These styles are very smart.”
“Yes,” replied the conservative
man ; “but in my opinion the smarter
styles are, the foolisher they look.”
FORCE OF HABIT.
“So that gossipy woman’s club is
going to learn to shoot, eh?”
“I believe so.”
“Then I’ll bet the members will
all use repeating rifles.”
SAYS HUSBAND LOST
Mrs. J. L. Lott of Jelks, was
in Wynne Wednesday trying to
locate her husband, who left his
home last Thursday, presumably [
to accept employment in Wynne i
as a carpenter. He shipped his
tool chest and tools to this place

cating them at the depot where
he has so far failed to call for
them.
Lott is described as being a
very large man, weighing about
200 pounds, red complexion, five
feet ten inches in height, black |
shoes and red hat, his wife de-1
scribing his hat as being a small j
boy’s hat and says that it alone i
would attract attention. Anyone \
knowing anything about Mr. !
Lott or his whereabouts would,
confer a favor upon his family
by notifying them at the address i
above given.—Wynne Progress. !
