ground that Russia is preparing for

For weeks all the papers had been
condemning in the bitterest of Ian

sultan for his liberation of the out

But now all is changed. The pa
pers are milder in tone, there is less
hostile criticism, and hopes for a
peaceful settlement of the whole

Permits Free Circulation of Air.

fermitS free circulation OF Air.
While an awning in front of a win.
dow will shade 1t from the sun on a
bright summer day, yet 1t also shuts
off the circulation of air to some ex-
tent, and is apt to render the room
within close and sitting. In the draw
ing we show an awning invented by
two Virginians, who claim that it will
not cut of the supply of air, but rather
augment. The object is to construct
the awning in a manner to permit
lateral adjustment of the frame. The
latter, instead of being secured direct
to the brackets on the window frame,
is arranged to swing from one side to
the other of the window. This, of
course, would open up a strip the en-
tire length of the window. and If any
air was stirring 1t would find its way
into the room. To embrace this fea-
ture the awning frame which carries
the cloth shade must consist of pair
of bows. pivoted to a central support
and having ropes to connect the ends
of the bows with the usual brackets
on the window frame. from which rods

Won sternbura,s Diplomatic Act.

Heretofore it has not been the Gus
tom of members of the diplomatic
corps to go to the railroad station
when the President has been leaving
Washington, but the German ambas-
sador, Baron Won Sternburg, was so
cordially greeted by Mr.. Roosevelt
when he came to bid the President
good-by few days ago, that his ex-
ample may be followed by others IN
the future. 1t is believed that several
foreign ministers regret that tney
did not embrace the opportunity to
demonstrate friendship for the chief
magistrate and the United States.

POPULAR SCIENCE

known by experts as the germ" Be-
fore corn may be shipped for export,
this germ must be removed, else ran
cidity is almost certain to set in, and
the cargo is in danger of being des-
troyed. The process for the removal
of this germ is known as degerming,
and Its prosecution results in the pro-
duction of an oleaginous substance,
the only use of which hitherto. was
a substitute for linseed oil In the
manufacture of paints and for lubri-
eating purposes. Efforts have been
made from time to time to utilize 1t
as a foodstuff, but failure to deprive
1t OF its unpalatable qualities has
rendered these futile. It. is now an
nounced in the West, however, that a
process has been devised which is
warranted to clarity, deodorize and
make palatable this corn oil without
material loss, and at the inconsequen-
tial cost of ten cents a gallon There
are now 100000 gallons of crude oil
turned out annually from the Ameri-
can mills, and as it has only been in
connection with corn shipped for ex-
port that the degerminating process
has been used, the quantity may be
increased indefinitely. Experiment
ing chemists are quoted by the Chi
cago papers as claiming that the corn
oil is far more digestible than any
of the oils now used for culinary pur-
poses. Nevertheless, it will probably

A Convenience for the Cook.

While the little implement shown In
the drawing will be of special use In
cherry canning time it will have work
to perform nearly every week in some
households in removing seeds from
raisins, for which is adapted also. The
one special feature which recommends
this device is its simplicity, there be-
ing only the frame and plunger, with
no springs or other mechanism to re
quire extra care in washing. The
frame itself is nearly triangular in
shape. with a small concave pocket
formed just above the opening through
which the seed or stone falls when
driven from the fruit. The plunger is
a small rod, sliding through an open
ing in the frame, and the lower end
is arched and double pointed to give

the memory Of upset coffee pots and

the students of this department, it
was all very good and showed that
the students had not lacked for in
struction. At $50 o'clock the same
| day the annual musicale was held
at the college chapel and we were
again permitted TO see the work of
/ the student in both the vocal and

/ and they both reflected much credit
upon the institution. This morning
/ the commencement exercises proper
were held at the college chapel and
a diploma was presented TO Miss
Minnie Ewing OF Hutto. Miss
Ewing has the distinction Of being
the first graduate Of this school,
there being only one graduate this
