which not only cures rheumatism, but
prevents kidney complaint and remedies

Machine for Washing Fruit.

g., So much trouble has been made by
the appearance of black spots on Or
anges and lemons that all sorts of
plans have been devised to rid the fruit
OF this unsightly blemish. One of the
most practical appliances is scrub
bling machine Supplied with water, car
rlers and brushes. The fruit is put
into tank and allowed to remain for
a few minutes to permit the specks to
soften little; then it is taken up by
the carriers and conveyed to a large
wheel, which has arranged around it's
periphery movable automatic acting
brushes, which form portion of the
carrier around it's rim. AS the orange
or lemon proceeds on it's journey the
brushes attack it from all quarters,
scrubbing it very thoroughly, and in
almost all cases completely cleansing
it from the unsightly specks. After a.
given time it is automatically dropped
into a trough, from which it is con-
&veyed to the receiving baskets or boxes.
The brushes, while firm. are not suffi-
GENTLY so to injure the rind of the fruit
in the least. # this device works as
sweil7as it promises it is a boon to the
orange and lemon grower, and for

Causes of Contaeion.

An eminent physician is the authori.
ty for the statement that boys are
much more likely to contract many
diseases than girls, and gives the rea-
son that the youngsters play in the
streets, where they pick up all sorts
of germs. A boy hurts his fingers, and
sticks them in his mouth, and mayhap
ticks them to get better hold of his
top or whatever he may be handling.
Diphtheria and typhoid fever especial
ly, he says, are more likely to be con-
tracted by boys on this account. In
addition to this, boys roam about ev-
erywhere, and are, so to speak, in ev-
cry kind of mischief. A lad may con-
tract disease by picking up some
stick or article previously handled by
an infected person. He advises that
when boys come in from play they
should give their hands and faces a
thorough washing, not forgetting to
clean the teeth with the utmost care.
Excellent advice, no doubt, but what
an amount of moral persuasion"
would be required to get the average
boy to take these precautions! Wash
ing is very often looked upon as very
unnecessary operation, and sad waste
of time.

Heating Capabilities of Wood.

From time immemorial soft wood
has been regarded as comparatively
valueless for heating purposes. Hard
wood has brought high prices and has
been in much greater demand than
soft, on account of this generally pre-
vailing notion. Experiments with
woods of various sorts have demon
strated that the linden, which is one of
the softest of woods, gives the great
est amount of heat. The value of other
woods in their order, as ascertained, is
as follows: Fir with 099 heating
power; next follow the elm and pine
with O.98; willow, chestnut and larch
with O.97; maple and spruce fir with
0.96; black poplar with 0.95; alder and
white birch with 094 only; then comes
the hard oak with O.92; the locust and
the white beech with O.91, and the red
beech with O.90. Hence hard wood
heats the least" It is one of the re-
markable facts of the day that so many
theories that have been held for many
years are fast giving way before the,
critical analyses of science.
