blowpipe, but if not you can get it
made easily and at a small cost.
To make it, get piece of glass tub
ing and heat it in the fame, then draw
out the heated part until you have
tube as small SIS a pin. Break it off at
its smallest part and you have PIN
hole burner.
Get piece of rubber piping, which
you must attach to an ordinary gas
jet, the other end to the thick end OF
the glass tube. When the gas is
forced through and lighted it will
burn in long. thin flame.
If the room is quite free from
draughts and all present are silent,
the flame will be steady, but If a
watch is held near, it will wabble
and flare back and forth, keeping
exact time with the ticking of the
watch. If you will call out in a
loud voice it will leap to one side
as though you had frightened it, and
if you keep up a conversation in
loud voice it will dance about as
though in excitement.
To make gas jet speak, or to
cause it to transmit sounds like a
telephone, you must surround the
pinhole burned with tin tube hav-
ing a small hole in one end, through
which the burner projects a little
way. The bottom of the tin tube
must be made to connect with a
speaking tube, which may be in an
other room or on another floor.
Speak into the tube, no matter
how far away from the gas burner,
and the sound has to escape through
the hole through which the burner
projects, and is, therefore, forced
against the base of the gas flame,
which is always more sensitive. The
and magnify them SO that the words
can be heard all over a very large
room, and if you attach a phono-
graph trumpet to the burner the
sounds will be still more increased in
strength and loudness.
To prove that it is really the gas
that does the talking, turn off the
gas and instantly the sounds cease,
though the person at the other end
of the speaking tube continues his
conversation.
If you force the gas through a
square or wire mesh, very fine and
raised above the burner, by holding
a lighted match above the wire gouze
the gas will burn only above it, max
ing conical flame. This, having a
larger base than from an ordinary
burner, is very sensitive.
If you sing or play, whistle or talk
on level with the fame it will
dance in perfect time and you can
make it perform all sorts of antics
by changing from whistling to sing
ing, or from funeral march to a
two-step.-N. Y. Sun.

things. If you like, you can perform
these and more tricks with gas, and

The Edge. of the Carpet.

It is the part of wisdom to examine
the edges of the carpet often in the
spring. If the carpet is not to be taken
from the floor remove the tacks, turn
back a half yard all around the room,
wipe the floor and spray with benzinc
in the cracks or use little carbolic
acid in the water. Then replace the
carpet, cover with damp sheet and
iron with hot fatiron. This will pro-
duce sufficient heat to destroy both
the moths and all their larvae.
