A Quick Way to Get Rid of moths.


When once moths get into room it is
difficult to extiEp2te them. Harper's
Bazar gives, however, tie following process
for destroying them, which is easy and
worthy of trial: Chose ali the windows
and all doors leading from the room about
to undergo treatment; open wide each
drawer and closet and hang the contents
over chairs or upon clothes horse brought
into the room for the occasion. Take a
piece of gum camphor as large as a hszel-
nut for an ordinary room (as large as a
walnut for a room 20 by 16}, put it in an
iron pot and place the latter within an
other iron pot or upon an iron stand. Set
fire to the cllmphor. It burns very 1iercely,
SO set it at q safe distance from furniture
or hangingS; the middle Of the room Is the
best place for it, unless this be directly I'M
der a chandelier, il which case 1t can be
placed more toward the side, as the heat Is
apt to injure the gliding or bronze.
The dense smoke soon permeates every
nook and corner and suTocates every in
sect that inhales it. Canary birds or gold
fish are to be carried from the room be-
fore beginning operations, and as soon as
the camphor begins to burn the operator
may leave the room, as, provided she has
taken the above precautions, there will be
no danger of the fire spreading, The cam
phor will burn from a quarter to half an
hour, but it can be extinsuished at any
moment by placing over it a stove lid or
the cover of the pot Let the smoke re-
main in the room about half an hour, then
omen the windows wide. leaving them so
all day. All the rooms can be treated thus
in succession or all st once, a care being
taken to guard against fire.

A New Cement.

Take two ounces of clear gum arabic,
one and one-haf ounces of fine starch and
half an ounce of white sugar. Pulverize
the gum arabic and dissolve it in as much
water as the laundress would use for the
quantity of starch indicated. Dissolve the
starch and sugar in the gum solution.
Then cook the mixture IN vessel sus-
pended in boiling water until the starch
becomes clear. The cement should be as
thick as tar and kept so. 1t can be kept
from spelling by dropping in a lump of
gum camphor or little oil of cloves or
sassafras. The Neurological Review says
that this cement Is very strong indeed, and
will stick perfectly to glazed surfaces, and
is goodAto repair broken rocks, minerals or
fossils.

Tho Trausportatjon of Acids.

American Analyst tells that there has
been patented in Germany a process by
means Of which sulphuric acid for manu-
featuring purposes can be safely transport
ed. The inventor takes advantage Of a
property of certain salts-of which alkaline
sufphates are representatives which
they give up their water of capitalization
when heated. and take it up again when
cool; and he does SO by mixing the salts in
an anhydrous condition, with calculated
quantity of sulphuric acid. The whole
mass becomes granular. or may be formed
into cakes, and when heated the whole
Hquifes, and may be used as if it were sui
phuric acid, for the presence Of bisulphste
of soda does no harm.

A CONVENIENT TARLE.

It can be constructed as follows: Take
three ten inch boards or feet long; fasten
two sets of cleats on the under side from
u to 16 inches from each end, the cleats to
be two inches apart. The legs should be
made 2 by T. 30 inches long and TO them
should be fastened two four inch strips, 45
inches long, to cross each other. The bed
of the table is to be set on the legs at the
cleats. The whole thing may be put to-
gether with bolts, and taken apart and
packed in a small bundle for transporta-
ton on excursions.

To Prevent the Rusting of Iron Pipe

ITO AItFUHI TIC NUS IIIIE OF Iron PIpeAs
A simple way of tarring sheet iron pipes
20 keep them from rllsSing is to coat the
sections as made with coal tar, then fill
with light wood shavings and set the lat
ter on fire. A correspondent of The Gas
Light Journal, who recommends this plan,
asserts that the iron will be rendered prac-
tically rust proof for an indefinite period
Heating the iron after the tar is laid on
the outside is thought to burn it into the
metal, thus closing the pores in much
more perfect manner than if hot tar were
applied to cold iron after the ordinary Gus
tom. Light shavings are used because an
important item of this-method is that the
iron should not be made too hot or kept
hot for too long time, lest the tar should
be burnt off

CHINESE MAGIC SQUARE EXPLAINED.
A simple inspection of the two diagrams
will be sufficient to convince any one that
the mysterious Lo-chou has no hidden
mystic or even mathematical meaning, but
is simply the attempt of some ancient stu
dent, ignorant Of figures, to express that
remarkable relation of numbers to each
other which, under the name of the magic
square, is a familiar source of amusement
to every schoolboy of the presea%day. 1t
IS certainly very curious circumstance
that this arrangement should have been
known, not only at such an early period
but even before the invention of figures, to
express the numbers themselves.
