THE BASIS OF PROPELLANTS. How Cotton Is Prepared for Use in Explosives. Cotton: in the form of nitrocellulose is the most important component of all military propulsive explosives. Strictly speaking, the raw material used is cotton waste, or the stuff re- jected in the manufactureof cotton goods. Jute, ramie, kapok fibre, sul- phite pulp, spun cotton, and other forms of cellulose, have all been tried, but the only trustworthy material is cotton waste. According to Nature, the method of producing a satisfac- tory form of nitrocellulose from cot- ton.waste is as follows: The waste is hand-picked, so as to remove the grosser impurities. The product is combed, picked once more, and then. (}Fled. Then conies the nitration pro- eess, which consists in immersing the purified waste in a mixture corn:Need of, twenty-one per .aenteeelexiltrie and seventy-one per cent. of sulphuric acid and eight per cent. of water. Af- ter the mixed acids have acted for the required time, they are poured off, and the guncotton is washed to re- move as much of the acid as possible, and is further purified by being boiled several times in water. The boiling is of great importance, for in that part of the process the unstable— that is, the quickly explosive—bodies produced during nitration are dis- solved or decomposed, and so leave the nitrocellulose in a condition to be safely handled. Lastly the cotton is reduced to pulp, washed again, then partly dried, and moulded under pres- sure into the required shape. No other form of nitrated• cellulose is so effective. _ • Just So. "I saw a professor of magic remove thirty yards of „ ribbon, fourteen plumes and seven buckles from a hat." "Enough material to trim it nice- ly," commented the party of the feminine part. Ona fine day a weather -glass on a hilla thousand feet high will declare that the weather is stormy. eelMeeeieeeeee71 Feleele=leefl tee eeree,., ease teen t1 releeleeleetteall NIWm--a, cu Can Have A PE FECT Complexion ! rnao llfarle , .:.;•, 50e, 75c •p1 G0, $150 SKIN IN FOO1 _, V,'Ie,INIKL,E , CHASER' ,I•I• A�IJR, • USIT has solved the problem ofrv, ut• n „Ins;eay. _its, use is bring- ,ing back the freshness' and Moor r"ef youth, and driving y.;. away, wherever used�.consist'ertly, the wnaailtles of worry and aa'e..

The hand -embroidered sills filets are worlts of art. Many'a gay touch is given the new. est fall suit by hand embroidery done with the ordinary wool used for make iizg sweaters and such garments. This work is easily accomplished- and a plain suit is made quite individual by an additional touch of a well-chosen color. Braids of all widths mare into. ornaments and combined with silk cords will be used as trimming as well as the metal braids in goldand sil- ver combined with sautache braid. Beads, too, have not lost any of their popularity and will be used together with braids. Jet will be utilized where occasions allow. Evening gowns., show much use of sequins and metal threads. With polonaise, bustle and drapery the evening dress of future winter af- fairs bids fair to add a varied effect to costume where last year the be - dressed throng, whether young or old, was, to say the least, tiresome. Besides, it was most difficult to dis- tinguish at a distance whether it was mother, daughter or grandmother. The eighteenth century sleeve, which is made of white batiste or or- gandie and ends with a frill over the hand, held in place by a tight brace- let of black velvet ribbon, is return- ed to fashion; it is used on that neve kind of winter house frocks which Mme. Joire of the house of Paquin accentuates, made of taffeta and or- gandie, of velvet and organdie. These sleeves are placed in a jumper blouse of blue or black taffeta, and there is a wide band of the sante summer-like material on the skirt or edging the ends of the sash. Eolinsky, the Russian cat, is the peltry most in demand by the fashion. able dressmakers for trimming purr poses; some of it is pointed with ven like a fine fox. Sealskin has come into its own again after years of ob- .. Evian, and beaver is ubiquitous. Opossum is again used, and all the foxes in separate pieces. China rgse is a new color making its appearance in millinery lines. The shade is not unlike the coral tones with which the summer vogues have familiarized us. It is deeper in tone and of a llluer quality; very good- looking in felt and plush, especially when trimmed with beaver or Fal. Silk handbags are much more in. favor, even with severe tailored cos- tumes, than bags of leather, Some- times the leather bag is made very 'aeee- dainty, with plaited sides and a • shirred lining of tinted silk, but the bag of faille elassique moire or gros- grain silk has first favor with weIl- dressed women. The deep, tobacco pouch shape is the favorite, and the silk is gathered to the covered frame, one smart model recently brought over from Paris having deep over- lapping -tucks all around the pouch shape. Beaded purses in open Iattice effect are for use with formal after- noon costumes. Some of these pretty affairs have frames of tortoise shell and gay tassel trimmings. Gone is the 'bulky, cumbersome fur coat that added thirty pounds to its wearer—in appearance, if not in act- ual weight :and in its place is a new fur coat, inexpressibly smart and youthful, with sleeves set into rather small armholes, close lines over shoul- der and bust and most of the fur in the ripple skirt, which swings out be- low the waist line in jaunty, youthful style. ,Hudson seal is by all odds the favorite pelt for such coats, and ,un- less the seal coat is trimmed with col- lar and cuffs of contrasting pelt it may not claim last-minute modishness for its own. >T ENGLISH BILLET TROOPS.: Inland Towns House Large Number of Soldiers.
