DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU

That the judicious use of good paint on the out side of house can materially increase the value of a building? Most of the increase is in fancy of course-just in the appearance of the house that's all. But what difference one or two coats of paint can make, to be sure. Perhaps you have property yeu want to sell or rent and are think ing of painting it. You would like it to be a good and permanent job, but you don't want to spend any mnre money than you can help. Here is where the Oh lton paints prove themselves the most economical as they are also the most en- during and weather defying. They are we'll ground in pure nnseed oil and turpentine drier, have good solid body and will be found to do as much work as twice the quantity of some paints, and do it better, too. Get estimates on one coat two coats and three coats of Chiffon paint. You rarely will need more than two coats and where the house is in good condition and the color about the same as formerly used, you will be surprised to see how well one coat will look.

thus seen to be one which cannot be
left out of the calculation in designing
dynamo-electric machines.
A very simple experiment, which
helps to an understanding of what
magnetic lag is, is shown in the an
nexed engraving. A perforated block
is inserted between the polar extremi-
ties of U-magnet to receive q
pointed spindle attached to a soft
Iron disk held near the poles
of the magnet. The pointed
end of the spindle rests upon
GROSS bar inserted between the arms of
the magnet. The disk, which turns
very freely, absorbs the magnetic
lines and becomes strongly magnetic.
When the disk is at rest, poles are de-
Eeloped in the disk IN front of the
poles of the magnet but when the disk
Is turned ever so little, the poles in
che disk are carried forward in, the di-
rection of rotation. Th is proved by
the action of the disk when it stops.
1t Immediately moves a short distance
in a retrograde direction. showing
that the points of greatest magnetic
density in the disk lie beyond the
poles of the magnet in the direction of
the rotation of the disk, and that these
points are attracted toward the mag
net poles. Owing to the friction of
the bearings of tne spindle, and to the
almost Immediate readjustment of the.
magnetic lines in the matei ial of the
disk, the return movement does not
represent the entire lag, but it shows
in a striking manner what lag is.

The Former Provoked to Unprovoked

The argument against all and every
use of alcohol wh ch we used to hear
much of years ago was based on the
statement that it was not Il product of

condition. The argument itself is a
very unsafe one, even If t. premises

of the peculiar results of their

which are most attacked by wasps has
a tendency to pass into kind or kinds
of alcohol in ihe ordinary process of

tanned by the use of a still not large

excise authorities. On such fruits,

Artificial India Rubber.

Artificial india rubber from cotton
seed oil is one of the latest industrial
products and claimed to possess COM
mercial adaptations of peculiar prac-
tical value. The manufacture involves
a process not yet given ont to the pub
lie by the discoverer. who states that,
while experimenting with cottonseed
oil to produce a varDish for paintings,
he obtained a substance entirely for
eign in its makeup and properties to
what was sought-not varnishs but
rubber. So simple Is the process, as
alleg ed, that it is not within the pro-
tection of patent-the only safeguard
being, therefore, IN the secrecy of the
process, bv the use of which, it is as
serted, only Is per cent is required of
the genuine rubber to produce an arti'
Gle which can in no way be distin-
guished from the ordinary crude india
rubber, it is said, even by experts in
the handling of the latter article.
Arrangements have been made for its
tensive,manufacturea and its applica-
ton to the various purposes SO long

salvanIzIng Raocessea.

Among the recent experimental
proc esses with iron and other metals
is a new process of galvanizing, which
would appear to have some advan-
tages over the older method of steep
ing articles in molten zinc, the Claim
being that by cold galvan king more
uniform coating is obtained, and, in
case of wire, The tensile strength is
not diminished. Comparative tests
of the hardness OF the coating on iron
sheets show that the plate thus gall
vanized has a somewhat harder sur
face than that obtained by the usual
means. An equally interesting res=lt
of recent Investigations is the successN
full coating of metal surfaces with
glass, in which operation there are
melted together about 125 parts, by
weight, of ordinary flint glass frsg-
ments, twenty-nine parts carbonate
of sodium and twelve parts of boric
acid; the fused mass is poured out
upon some cold surface, as of stone or
metal, and pulverized when cool, then
of this mixture powder is made with
silicate of soda, water, glass-solutlon

the metal is glazed, being heated in .

rived at the requisite fusion; this coat

treadle, is caused to partially rotate.
