height of fj.OOO feet to the naked eye,
according to nn article In the Cologne

The Invisibility, It Is s.ilfl, Is obtained
by covering the planes of the Tnubes

Knaubet. It Is u chemical combination
of cellulose and acetic acid which makes

HENRY JAMES IS NOW

American Writer Takes Oath

His Reasons.
Special Cable Retpatch to The St..

American novelist, took the oath of
allegiance to Great llrltaln to-day and
became a Hrltlsh subject.
In ids petition seeking naturalization
he said he wished to become a citizen
becaure he has lived and worked In Eng
land for the best part of forty years,
because of his attachment for the coun
try nnd hl sympathy with Its people,
because of the long friendships and as
sociations and Interests he has formed
here and finally because he holds prop

The size of powder company profits
In the first half of this calendar yenr
was Illustrated yesterday In the report
for the six months ended June 30 of
the Hercules Powder Company, whose
surplus earnings were more than double
those for the corresponding period of
1914. This surplus was 11,0611,438, nn
Increase of tC20,550, which is equivalent
to nn annual rate of 29. S3 per cent, on
tho common stock, an Increase of 17.36
per cent, on the annual rate as based
on the earnings for the corresponding
six months of the previous year. Gross
lecelpts were 14,906,350, an Injreatsf ot
$924,3!6.
Thtse results, says the report, are not
representative of the showing that' Ii
expected for the year. The report says:
We estimate that It orders In hand are
satisfactorily executed and there is no
substantial change, either for better or
for worse. In our blasting explosives
business, the earnings for the full year
should be between 50 and 55 per cent,
on the common stock outstanding. It
Is not possible now to attempt to esti
mate 1916 earnings, but they should be
materially better than 1910."
