ABOUT SHEET METAL.

An Easy Way OF Fin ding the Weight pes
Square Foot.
Il will be interesting to those who
have anything to do with sheet iron
boiler plate or similar material to have
IN easily-remembered rule for finding
the weight per square foot of material
they are working with. Tho Ironmon.
ger says that il has been found BY ex.
perience that . square foot of iron
plate y inch thick weighed almost eA-
actly five pounds, and this forms .
basis for very simple and easy rule
As q square foot of iron y inch thick
weighs 1--WE pounds. . square foot of 1.
inch iron will weigh ten pounds. and
we can say that the area Of any sheet
iron Tor plate iron) in square feet mul.
tiplied by the thickness in one-eighths
and multiplied by Eve will give the
weight of the piece. There is piece
of tank iron 5-16 inch thick. feet wide
and feet long; how much does il
weigh? The area will be 8 feet K s
feet, or Is square feet Now how many
cighths is 5-l6 of an inch? Since e
-:-l6 and 3 Is contained in az times,
we say 5-le-2f eighths, ora,k times five
pounds-l2k pounds per square foot,
and IS there are Is square feet we have
l2<-ls7.A. Where the thickness is
even eighths Of an inch It is much
simpler; but even this is not hard
thing to do, ~ shown. Ifit Is desired
to use this rule for other than iron. we
simply find the difference between the
weights Of the two metals per cubic
inch and find what square foot k
inch thick will weigh, then work -
shown above.

much of an over-vivid imagination. At
first he worked in shallow water with

cient light to sensitize the plates. But

the young scientist conceived the idea

AN EFFECTIVE. FILTER

Cistern rain water from = shingle

The trouble is due to dead organic

Of this organic matter is easily effect

chemicals. The action in both cases 10

employed in nature. For instance, to

obtained. The slices after this are

Matter Of Pillows.
There il great deal Of wastefulness
In the world; and while . good deal of
il comes from lack Of time to take care
Of things, . great many persons are
wasteful through sheer carelessness and
indifference.
An enormous amount of valuable ma
terial il in this way rendered useless
every year. II every housekeeper. who
uses fowls or birds Of any sort, would
take the trouble to keep the feathers
until some convenient season when
they could be properly put in order.
she would, in q short time, have no end
of cushions. pillows and paddings for
various purposes II the feathers can
not be prepared at once. they should
be thrown into a very strong solution
of sal-soda dissolved in boiling water.
Put the feathers in. immediately cover
the dish with . thick cloth and let
them stand until cold, and rinse In
clear water. They may then be put
into bag, pinned up ON the clothes
line and allowed to become thoroughly
dry. then wrap them very closely In .
thick paper, tie them mp tightly and
put them away. When time allows.
throw them into q boiler with strong
soap-suds and . little soda, boil them
for an hour. then when cool enough,
take out with the hands and strip
from the large quilts the hues 1t the
sides
by little practice one will almost
detect any quilts that will Be
large enough to be annoying or to take
from the value Of the feathers. Il is .
plan to remove the quilts as closely as
possible; indeed, If all were taken out
and the remainder Of the feathers could
be carefully washed and thoroughly
dried in the air, the stuffy. heavy odoe
that makes SO many pillows offensive
would never be observed. It is the
presence of a certain amount Of animal
matter in the quilts that causes this
odor.
Feather pillows that are old and sl.
most worthless, may the thrown into
suds and soda. boiled. scrubbed and
the broken quilts and matted
portions removed, and the result will
be q clean. fresh-smellinG, wholesome
pillow. Where the pillows have been
nsed long time, two or more may b
put together. Il is not well to mix new
ones with old. but the old ones, boiled
md thoroughly cleansed, may be put
together. SO that two pillows will make
one very nice one. In this way they
may be 50 arranged that . single new
pair will make up the complement
Sometimes one pair Of very large ones
will make . very presentable pair OF
smaller ones, provided they are not too
much broken II they are of moderate
size. two into one will not be too much.

There is at least one boomer happy,

told the reporter tale Of woe through
which runs like . thread of sunshine

No one who has not heard . wife

breakfast dinner and supper, and take
it to bed with her, can understand the
delirious bliss that frenzies the brain
of the gentleman f1om Sheldon, Ia. as
he makes this proud avowal 1t is q
bliss that transcends the joy of doing q
good deed. It resembles nothing 50
much a. the excruciating, guilty joy
one knows in scratching q chigger bite
till it blecds, with the aggravating
knowledge that it will make an ugly
sore. After this outburst the gentle
man from Sheldon loses all sense of
shame and continues:
"Well, / got . claim, and I'm afraid I
got consumption with it, for my lungs
are full of ashes and sand"
Here he begins to feel his nails go
through the quick skin, but he only
digs in madden. more ecstatic and more
unreasoning than ever. 20, happy
love! where love like this is found 0.

pare- What wealth Of happiness the
gentleman from Sheldon, Ia. is storing
up for his quiet home! How he will
throw the halo of his presence around
the hearth-stone and get even with his
wife for sending him away from the
roof-tree, if it takes all winter! He
continues musing, rs If to himself,
while the reporter follows.
II got spade and began digging my
claim. In fifteen minutes the wind had
blown the sand olt to . depth Of four

for . short time, The charge of sand

For the successful use of this filter
the filtration must be intermittent;
that is each charge Of water should be
run out completely, and the filter then
be allowed to stand empty, with free
access Of air from the uncovered top,
till more water is needed.
The whole mass Of water in the cis-
tern may be purified by adding to it .

itself harmless. il serves to oxidize the
organic matters in the water, in doing
which IL is changed into other sub

it Is added the water of the cistern
may itself become colored. II after
adding this first small quantity the
water still has the bad taste, more Of
