T. N. T. From Pulp Mills.
Tho world Is using n tremendous
amount of trinitrotoluol, tho high ex
plosive of this war. In fact tho sup
plies of toluol ure in some uanger
of running short. What the Germans
'will do about It Is not known, but tho
allies aro turning to the Canndlan pulp
factories employing tho sulphite proc
ess.
It appears that tho turpentine from
spruce Is easily saved at tho mills,
and can be readily converted Into
toluol.
1 Since a gallon of turpentine per cord
of wood Is a possible by-product
nnd $5 ncr barrel Is paid for It, there
will bo somo little Increase In revenue
for the pulp makers, nnd the armies
'will bo ennbled to keep on with their
good work of defeating tho enemy.
