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.

thirty yards of „ ribbon, fourteen
plumes and seven buckles from a

cords will be used as trimming as well

Beads, too, have not lost any of their
popularity and will be used together
with braids. Jet will be utilized where

show much use of sequins and metal

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.

Opossum is again used, and all the

China rgse is a new color making
its appearance in millinery lines. The
shade is not unlike the coral tones

when trimmed with beaver or Fal.

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

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-
