Acetylene gives a pure white light, in which all articles show in their true colors the same as in the sunlight, and burns in burners consuming about hall a foot of gas per hour, each burnei giving forth some 20 candle power light. The gas is obtained by adding water to calcium carbide, which is ob tained by fusing together ground coke and lime. The use of gasoline gas has become quite common for small to medium sized plants. It is a mixture of gaso line vapor and air, the pure vapor be ing impractical to burn on account of a high pressure being required. While the gasoline is considered somewhat dangerous to handle, neglect and care lessness are a large factor in the mat ter and common carefulness will ren der the gasoline safe to handle. There are different grades of gasoline for sale, and that used for gas machines should have a specific gravity of 86 for summer use and 88 for winter. Many people who live outside the limits of the gas companies' lines do not use gas, says Farm and Home, be cause they fail to realize how cheaply the acetylene or gasoline machines can be installed and at how small an ex Dense they operate as compared with other forms of lighting and cooking, The experiment once tried, they are surprised to find out that it is just as practical as independent water works or steam or hot water heating. The party who has one of these individual -1 i . l , 1 J i gas plants is entirely independent, running his apparatus when and how he pleases.

Really Interesting Scientific Experi ment Showing How Compressed Air May Be Used. An apparently empty bottle may be made to blow out a candle. The trick is really an Interesting scientific ex periment, showing how ' compressed air, directly the pressure which con fines it ie removed, tends to assume the normal- density of the atmosphere. We take an ordinary bottle and, see ing that It is empty and dry, we place the ball of the thumb over the mouth with Just a small aperture uncovered. Then, placing our mouth to this, we blow steadily and continuously into the bottle. The result Is that the air in the bot tle Is compressed. When we take our mouth away we insure that no air shall escape by instantly closing the whole aperture with the ball of the thumb which is already pressed over part of the opening. Now we invert the bottle and, plac ing the mouth agalrst the flame of a lighted candle, we remove so much of our hand as will make an opening slm J m , ' in the ; ' ; 'firi t I fi 'if'', ' k AVHl A I l!; At saZff&s or wmiimGroirriAYY-. yard Blowing Out Candle. liar to that into which we blew. The result is that the compressed air, di rectly the pressure is removed, rushes out and blows upon the flame. It is well to use a small candle, as if we have a large candle with a big flame the pressure may not be sufficient to extinguish the flame. If we perform the trick in front of a number of spec tators we must not let them see us blow into the bottle. This part of the performance can be done outside the room, and we can bring the bottle in with our thumb over the opening, keeping it there till the moment when we want to release the air. This can be done in such a way as not to at tract notice. METALS DEARER THAN GOLD z; o Sickroom Screen. A screen in the sickroom is almost indispensable, for it is needed to keep light from the patient s eyes, to guard the bed from drafts, or shut out the sight of medicine bottles and so forth, An excellent sanitary screen is made by tacking white oilcloth on to frame, then painting on in oil a pretty scene, as birds or butterflies. These screens can be washed as often necessary. Constipation causes many serious diseases. It is thoroughly cured by Doctor Pierce's Tleasant Pellets. One a laxative, three for cathartic.

Iridium, for Instance,' le Three Times as Expensive Osmium Is Dearer and Heavier. Gold is generally looked on as the last word in costliness, but, as a mat ter of fact, there are more metals dearer than gold than there are cheap er. The number of known metals is about seventy. Iridium, for instance, of which a big find was made the other day In Aus tria, 1b three times as expensive as gold. Gold is worth nearly (20 an ounce. Iridium is wortn some stu, though the price will probably come down now. Osmium is another metal much dearer than gold. It costs about $50 an ounce. It is by far tne neaviest oi an known substances, being more than 22 times as heavy as water. If pennies were made of osmium it would tax .a - M one s strengtn to carry tne cnange oi half a dollar. This metal has the pe culiar property of being able to stand without melting the most intense heat known. Palladium, about $40 an ounce, is Just the reverse. It is quite easy to make palladium vanish In steam. Be ing of a white, silvery color, and un tarnlshable, It is used for the division marks on scales and delicate scientific instruments. VEHICLE SWING IS INVENTED Mechanical Device Affords Exhilarat ing Exercise and Considerable Amusement for All. The Scientific American In describ ing a vehicle swing, invented by O. Zimmerman of Los Angeles, Cal., says: The object of the Inventor Is to pro vide a mechanical swing arranged to provide an exhilarating exercise and considerable amusement to young and old using the swing, to insure safety in Vehicle 8wlng. the use of the vehicle swing and to guard against a tendency of producing dliztness of the user. For the purpose named, use is made of a suspended link plvotally supporting at Its lower end a supporting frame provided at one end with wheels and seats, the Wheels being adapted to travel on the ground, on the floor, or rails or other suitable support ODDITIES OF FEW LANGUAGES Germans Call Thimble a "Finger Hat" and French Have No Words for Baby or Home. The following are a few lingulstlo whimsicalities: The Germans call a thimble a "finger hat," which it cer tainly is, and a grasshopper a "hay horse." A glove with them la a "hand shoe," showing evidently that they wore shoes before gloves. Poultry Is "feather cattle." while the names for the well-known substances oxygen and hydrogen are In their language "sour stuff" and "water stuff." The French, strange to say, have no verb "to stand." nor can a Frenchman speak of "kicking" anyone. The nearest ap proach a Frenchman makes to it In his politeness is to threaten to "give a blow with his toot" the same thing In either case, but It seems to want the directness, the energy of our "kick." Neither has he any word for "baby" or tor "home" or "comfort." The terms "upstairs' and "downstairs" are also unknown, in French. The Hindus are said to have bo word for "friend." The Italians have no word for "humility." NCLE SAM is a schoolmaster of the old type. He neither spares the rod nor spoils the child. He has many pupils, those who enter hia service government departments and the army and the navy. His course of training in the navy is rather se vere, for he requires every man who enlists for service under the Stars and Stripes on sea to become a skilled artlBan. Probably the most Interest ing of all of Uncle Sam's trade schools is the school for seaman gunners, at the navy yard in Washington. It is here that the men who aim and fire the great guns learn their -principle and mechanism so thoroughly that the efficiency of the United States navy is unequaled by any navy in the world. There are more than 125 men In the seaman gunners' class at the present time, enrolled for six months of the hardest kind of study in the shops and in the classroom. Every one of these men is picked, and in the serv ice it Is considered a great honor to be chosen to join the class. Only men who have been in the service four years are eligible, and then only when their conduct and service record are exceptionally good. Graduates of the school are the backbone of the navy. Here the men are taught the only really distinctive naval trade, and it Is here that the men who load, train and fire the immense guns are made. Requires Much Study. They learn the making of the large and small guns. They learn by prac tical experience how to take them down and assemble them again. The breech mechanism, everything to do with the practical part of ordnance, the manufacture of shells, fuses and powder and torpedoes all require thorough and extensive study. The work is equally divided between the naval gun factory shops and the class room, where they have instruction at the hands of skilled ordnance experts and special instructors. In addition to the ordnance course they are re quired to become proficient in the sci ence of metallography and skilled in the manufacture and principle of the storage battery. Work on the big guns start from the raw casting. This huge, 75-ton cylin der of steel Is bored out, trimmed and grooved. The casing, another huge cylinder of steel, Is bored out, heated white hot and shrunk onto the groov ed lining. The manufacture of this part of the monster 14-inch rifles takes about four weeks. Then the gunnery force enters the forge and hammer shops, where they remain for two weeks. After this the class is divided into small squads, some of them going into the black smith shop, others to the machinists' bench, the carpenter shop, the tin smith, the coppersmith and the plumber for Instruction. Each man must hammer and turn out from raw metal every piece of steel which goes into the complicated breech block me chanism end the firing devices. Pro jectiles and smokeless powder also get a great deal of attention, this last phase of the work taking the school to Indian Head, Md., for several weeks' work. When these men graduate and leave Washington for the various ships of the Atlantic fleet to them falls the duty of keeping in repair every por tion of the ship's armament. If dur ing battle practice a spring or bit of mechanism breaks, these seaman gun ners must enter the ship's machine shop and forge or turn out a new piece. The gunner is in absolute command of his gun. He has under him 'an as sistant. In the big dreadnaughta of today, there are six turrets, with two guns to each turret. Each turret is supplied with ammunition for two magazines. Also there Is a gunner in charge of the magazines. Besides these, there are smaller five-inch rifles, bIx and one-pounders located on varl- 8clentlfio Shoveling. For a first-class shoveler there is a particular shovel load at which he will do his biggest day's work with no in crease of effort on his part To deter mine what this load is a series of tests were made at the works of the Bethlehem Steel company. Experi enced shovelers, who could be depend ed on to do trustworthy work, were selected and tests were made' with shovel loads varying from five pounds to 40 pounds, with the result that a load of 21 pounds was found to be the one giving the greatest efficiency. With the 31-pound load a shoveler will do as much as 20 per cent more work than with loads that are a great deal less than -this, and with less effort Popular Mechanics Magazine.

To these smaller guns the recently graduated class is always sent In time they are promoted and placed in charge of a big gun or even a whole turret Uncle Sam la exceedingly severe with bis students. They must turn out promptly at 6 o'clock In the morn ing, roil up tneir nam mocks, sweep out their quarters and be washed, shaved and' cleanly clothed for break fast at 7 o'clock. At 8 o'clock they enter the shops of the naval gun fac tory for their various duties. At 11:30 o'clock the students "knock off" for lunch, but promptly at 1 o'clock they are again in the shops or in the lec ture room hard at work. At 4:30 an hour's drill under arms Is held. This takes place on the drill ground of the navy yard and keeps the men for three-quarters of an hour, At 5 o'clock comes the event of the day, dinner. Dinner to tho seaman gunner's class Is always something to look forward to. The menu is large and the food, although simple, is the best that money can buy. The class has a ca terer who makes it his business to see that the same dishes are not served too often and that the food ia of the best quality. ; From dinner until 10:30 o'clock the men are at leisure to come and go as they please. They may "go ashore' or visit friends In Washington, or they may remain in quarters and study their lessons for the next day. The men are allowed to use civlllai clothes. For the most part, the stu dents restrict their liberties to not more than two nights a week and all day Sunday. It is so great an honor to be sent to the school and the advancement after graduating, is so rapid that none of the lucky ones care to risk theli chances of being dismissed and re turned to the service under their old rank. Then, as many written prob lems are required, and several oral recitations occur each week, they burn a great deal of midnight oil. A vis ltor to the navy ward any night ex cept Saturday will find forty or fifty clean-cut young men working out ordnance problems, studying from a dozen text books, and quizzing each other on the questions that the officer- Instructor is sure to ask them the next day. Josephus Daniels, secretary of the navy, is particularly fond of the- sea man gunners' class. To his mind, the rushing dreadnought and the crash of mighty guns are not all that go to make up a perfect naval service, He believes that a rour-year course in the navy should be equal to a four-year course In the best vocational school In the country. As far as the seaman gunners' class is concerned, they get an excellent vocational train ing in Just six months. A graduate of this wonderful school can take raw metal and turn out the most complicated steel mechanism; turn sheet copper into symmetrical pipe and ducts; make and charge a storage battery; wire a turret for electricity; make a Bet of plans for about anything, and make and use smokeless powder. Ducks an Important Food Supply. Concerning certain features of Es kimo life along the north coast of Alaska, the account written by Vilh jalmar Stetansson says: "In the spring and summer ducks and geese, espe cially the former, are an important Item of diet They are pursued In kayaks when molting and killed with clubs, and large numbers of them are also secured by.bolaa throwing, for the migrant route of the ducks along the coast Is so definitely known that a man can stand all day and rely on it that three out of every four ducks will fly within throwing distance. So thickly do the birds come that nowa days a competent man with a shot gun has been known to secure aa many as 600 ducks In a day. chamber out about the plant, thus giv ing It room to expand and blossom. It has been found that some of the plants of the arum family, which are common in the Mediterranean region, develop a temperature of as high as 100 degrees when their buds are open ing. To a less degree probably all plants furnish their own heat under certain conditions, but ordinarily veg etation, being by nature adapted to its surroundings, gets the heat tt needs from the soil, air and sun. Animals are of a higher order than plants partly because they are more Inde pendent of their surroundings. The Pathfinder. A Little Bird Told Me So." , The popular expression, "A little bird told me so," used to convey the idea that by telling you would betray your informant but is probably adapt ed from the twentieth verse of the tenth chapter of Ecclesiastee: "Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bed chamber; for a bird of the air shall carry thy voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter."
