discovery of a material for the clothing of
soldiers that will repel water and vet ad-

the clew to such a material In the dress of
Arabs, who used wool which still Contains
the animal grease. Experiments were made
with lanoline, product of the publication
of this animal grease, deprived of soap and
acid fat and made neutral. The results
were favorable, and the impermeable ef-
feet was secured by a mixture of ten to
twsnty grams OF lanoline to 1000 grams

and evaporated quickly. The material can
be dipped in the mixture for a few mo-
ments and then wrung out, or the solution
can be applied to the surface with a sponge
The last is the most economical, but the
first gives the best results. A solution 81

smiled, while small boy, also smiling

so with my boy Dick, the little chan
painting the fence; he has always been
crazy to paint He is enjoying himself
now-you can see he is; and he will paint
that whole fence, too, just as well as he
knows how. 1 don't care If 1t is a trihe
smeared he's getting joy. solid JOY thicker
tEan the paint on his hands and clothes
There's a mean side to 1t, too; he want
ed to paint the fence and 1 wanted the
weeds pulled out of the yard So like an
underhanded rascal, I bargained with him.
1 told him that if he would pull all the
weeds out l would let him paint the fence
He went through the job like soldIer-he
hates to pull weeds-all boys do-and now
he thinks he is getting his reward. 1t is
downright shame to fool him that way-
don't you think so?"
The portly gentleman chuckled again and
the small boy, wild with joy went on
plastering paint on the fence.
