Uses Of Cottonseed Oil.

At first cottonseed oil was tried ms n
substitute for all the more expensive oils.
1t is intermediate between tho .sdryinp''
and "non-drying" oils, SO that it is diff
fcult to substitute it for liuseed oil,
which should dry quickly, and still more
difficult to adapt it for fabrication, where
perfect non drying oil is required. BY
different processes OF refining and man
ipulating it succeeded, in a small way,
in both of these fields, but its
greatest success was at first as sub
stitutc for, or adulteration Of, olive
oil. In 1872 the production of cot
tonseed oil in the United States
was $3.50, 600 gallons, half of which
was exported, mostly in q crude state,
to Italy, France and Spain, where it
was refined and made into SOLVE OIL"
The business flourished on this de-
lnand until 1880, when the production
was 10000, 600 and the export 7,00O,-
600 gallons. Olive growing countries
becoming alarmed at the extent. of TIL,
cotton oil trade, levied heavy duties
upon this product, and thus for time
depressed the business, reducing our ex-
ports for the fiscal year of 1928 to less
than 500, 900 gallons, though the pro-
drction had grown steadily up to 49,
600, 900 gallons.
Refined cotton oil is still used IN
Europe for adulterating olive oil, and
also used in the pure state rs q substi-
tute by the poorer classes in Southern
Europe. 1t is used in Holland in the
manufacture Of butter aud cheese, and
in America in the manufacture of butter
substitutes. 1t is largely used in all
countries for soap-making, one of the
most widely advertised brands of soap
containing it in large proportions. But
the most important use Of cotton oil now
is tho manufacture of ''rehned lard" in
tina United States.
Stated in q general wey, the process
of making refined lard consists in press
ing the oil out of pure lard aud supply
ing its place with cotton oil, which is
cheaper than the lard oil replaced. Oil
is expressed from the caul fat of beef,
and the residue, known as olco-stearine,
is mixed with the above compound to
mako it firm and to bring it up to it's
specific gravity and melting point to
these Of pure lard. Cotton oil generally

Saving a Child From SHARKS.

"rhe prettiest battle l ever witnessed
was between Il Cuban and couple of
sharks" said Thomas G. Ridgeway to Il
st. Louis Globe Democrat reporter. "We
had reached Havana from New York,
and were lying perhaps half mile from
the docks awaiting the signal to go 10.
Several fruit peddlers had boarded US,
aud among them swarthy young fellow
who looked like pirate. The purser
was standing by the rail, holding his
hvc-year-old son in his arms, Watching a
couple of monster sharks that were hang
ing about the vessel, when the chilo
slipped from his grasp and fell into the
water. The father plunged overheard
and seized him, and the sharks at once
made for the pair. The young buccaneer
dropped the frait basket aud went over
the rail like fash.
Gas the first shark turned on his back,
the invariable prelude to biting, the Gu
ban rose, and with a long keen knife
fairly disemboweled it. The other was
not to be disposed of so easily. He
seemed to realize that in the Cuban he

Several of us began to blaze away at him

peared to fear our bad marksm ,nship
more than the shark. and begged us to
desist. The purser and his child had
been pulled on deck, and the combat
ants had fair field. The Cuban dived,
but the shark did not wait for him to
come up and changed his location.
"Finally the Inter advanced straight
upon his antagonist, his ugly fin cutting
through the water like knife, turned
quickly upon his back, and the huge jaws
came together with vicious snap, but
the Cuban was not between them. He
had sunk just in time to avoid the shark,
and as the latter passed shot the steel
into it. Tae old see wolf made the
water boil, and strove desperately to
strike his antagonist with his tail, but
the latter kept well amidships and liter
ally cut him to pieces. We made up a
purse for him, and the next cay the
brave rayamuilin could have given Solo

OF course the hermit is the postmaster,

Fibres of pIau.s.

1t is said that small instrument has
been invented by which an orange may
be neatly peeled without soiling the
hands. This good result can be readily
obtained without anything special if one
only knows how. The fibres of plants.
including the fbres of oranges, ali fork
from the bottom upward, and it is the
attempt to split anything against the
grain which makes splitting difficult. II
one wants to peel an orange without
solling the hands, all that is necessary
to be done is to cut with knife very
small circle around the stem end, and
then mark dividing lines from the stem
to the summit-at points on the surface
OF the orange. This skin can then be
drawn off just as easily as one may draw
finger from a glove. This suggestion
may not only apply to the peeling of an
orange, but also to the splitting of a
stick, Those VINO make hoops for bar
reIs, split the hoop in order to make
them, but they do not commsnce with
the top or slender portion of the pole
and split downward. They could not
do this; but by taking the thicker end
and working from the thick to the thin
no trouble is found-the pole splits

Where Do You Buy Your spoa-esY

Among the large consumers of spongcs
are hospitals in which surgical opera
tons arc performed. This is nearly al.
ways the destination of the great Auclote
grass spongcs, though they do not rcach
it under that name. While they have the
size and texture OF the we'll known Med
ittcranean ear sponge, so called from its
iancied resemblance to elephants ears,
and used. the world over, for stauching
blood in large. open wounds, they have
not the shape prescribed by custom.
Consequently they are exported to Europe
rs "Anclote grass sponges;" and arc
there cut into the required shape before
being sent back to this country rs
Mediterranean ear sponges." Quantl-
ties of sheeps'-wool and other smaller
sponges are also used for surgical pur.
poses. Many of these, after having seen
service, and been discarded in tho hos
pitfalls, fall into the hands of unscrupu.
lous dealers, who wash them in an acid
that not only cleanses and bleaches
them, but renders them worthlessly ten
der. They are then hawked about the
streets of large cities by curbstone
peddlers, who find ready sale for their
fine looking but utterly valueless wares.

Curious Foundations.

The Railway Review tells of a novel
method of laying foundations in swampy
soil recently employed by an American
engineer. The building to be supported
was n low wooden one which it was pro.
posed to use for the storage of O ma
chinery. Casks were set in holes in the
ground along the line of posts and were
filled to the depth of about one foot with
iron turnings. The posts were placed in
the casks, which were then filled with
iron turnings compactly rammed in place.
A solution of salt and water was SLOWLY
poured over the turniugs, under tho nc.
ton of which they solidlfed into hard
mass. The heat of the oxidation of the
iron was SO great that the posts were
charred. This also served to act as a
preventative, and to that extent the iron
turninss are probably superior to con.
crete under similar conditions.

EIghteen Millions Of Sums.

The milky Way" the graudest fea-

above us, the hazy path which SO ma
jestically bands the whole fabric of the
skies together, is now known to be COM
posed of grand aggregate of at least
eighteen millions (1S.000,O0y of SUM,

makes vegetable and animal life en-
earthly possibility. One is apt, whep
allowing the mind to revert to the COP
temptation Of these misty and indistinet
astronomical subjects, to measure thdr
magnitude, or attempt to measure it, by
making terrestrial comparisons. 1t is
obvious, however, upon more mature re-

than "odious." The bulk Of our sun

case, what basis can we use for calcula-

The infinite number of suns which,
taken together, make up the "AIilky
Way" are now set Mt uniform distance
from our earth, or even from our sun; in
fact, they appear to work altogether in
dependently of either this mundane
sphere or our 'glorious orb Of day." The
majority of them are planted ut dis
lance too remote to be even imperiectly
measured or understood. Some OF them
are so near that light, which travels Mt
the rate of 1876, 600 miles per second,
would cross the distance between us and
them in the period of about an even ten
years. Others, however, are SO remote
that it would take a full thousand years
for their light to reach usl Some argue
