Measurement of Dew.

The measurement of dew has always
been difficult because of the fact that
no method heretofore has given exact
results. In Das Wetter, Nj. Ferb de-
scrlbcs new sort of drOsometer
which has given satisfactory results,
and which IS composed OF piece of
papcl which has been put through a
special preparation and dipped in a
chemical solution. This paper is on
oosed in 4 box placed during the night
m the ground, the quantity of dew be-
ug indicated by the discoloration of
the paper, A scale Of tints is deter
mined eXperimentally, which is used
ior the purpose OF comparison, there
Deing further used three sorts of pa
per, the first for small quantities of
lew, the second for large quantities,
and the third for very heavy dews.

Green Corn Soup.

Crate and scrape the corn from
enough ears to make one pint of pulp
Break the cobs in halves, put them
in kettle with enough cold water to
cover them; cover the kettle, and boil
the ears briskly for half an hour. Then
strain this water into another sauce
pan and let it boil down to less than a
pint.
When reduced to the proper quanti-
ty, add to the corn water the corn pulp
and let it simmer five minutes; then
season with salt, a little sugar and a
dash of pepper. Add one pint of hot
cream one tablespoonful of butter and
heaping tablespoonful of flour dis
solved in little milk. Let the whole
just boil up after the -four is in.
Put n tablespoonful of finely
chopped parsley in a soup tureen, pour

Protection for x.Ray Operators.

Mrs. Z. Fleischman-Aschheim OF
San Francisco is said to be the first
photographer to use a glass screen in
X-ray practice. She says double
plate glass screen is the most serv-
iceable device for preventing injury
to the operator and that it can he ap-
piled equally to radiotherapy and radi-
ography. After some experimenting
she ordered the construction after her
own plans of vertical plate glass
screen, feet in width and reaching
TO height of five and one-half feet
from the floor. During the last four
months the screen has been in con-
slant use in her laboratory. While
operating she keeps it between her
body and the tube whenever it is pos
sible, her exposed hand being pro-
tectcd by the usual rubber glove. She
has found that the heavy plate glass
screen possesses all of the advantages
of lead plates in preventing the pass
age of the rays, with the important
addition of permitting an unobstructed
view OF the subject and of the N-ray
| tube in order to judge of the intensity
Of the ray. Glass is Opaque to the
| N-rays in greater or less degree ac-
cording to its thickness. Lead, alum
nium, iron and copper resist the rays
to a great extent. Even the clothing
| hal a slight protective effect.

Cure to STAY Cured.

Wapello, Iowa, Oct. 10 Especially
One of the most remarkable cures
ever recorded, in Louisa County is
that of Mrs. Minnie Hart of this place.
Mrs. Hart was in bed for eight months
and when she was able to sit up she
was all drawn up on one side and
could not walk across the room.
Dodds Kidney Pills cured her. Speak
ing of her cure Mrs. Hart says
Yes. Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me
after l was in bed for eight months
and l know the cure was complete
for that was three years ago and I
have not been down since. In four
weeks from the time l started taking
them l was able to make my garden.
Nobody can know how thankful l am
to be cured or how much l feel l owe
to Dodd's Kidney Pills"
This case again points out how
much the general health depends on
the Kidneys. Cure the Kidneys with
Dodd's Kidney Pills and nine-tenths Of
the suffering the human family is heir
to, will disappear.

Leather

A decided novelty in the way Of
tcimming for some of the new nuns
yelling waists are the turnover collar
and cuffs made of soft leather. An
example of this is pale.blue waist
tcimmed with collar and cuffs Of SOFT
tla leather in shape somewhat similar
t. the embroidered and lace collar and
cgH sets so much in demand during
tae spring and summer season.
Leather trimmings are being used to
some extent on the new tailored suits
and raincoats, so that this novelty may
meet with quite as much of a success
a. a waist trimming as in the other
laes of ready-made garments.

Fashion in Capes.

Short circular capes are all the
fashion right now Those most In
vogue for early autumn weather are
OF coarse lace; any lace like Cluny,
BRUCE or point Venise is in favor. The
capes vary in length Sometimes they
fail Just to the shoulders, others reach
to the bust line, and still others
touch the waist. In ecru or dyed to
match the color Of the gown they will
be the most fashionable during the
early fall. The smart girl Is sure to
contrive many novel ways of adding
to the charm of her cape. She may
fasten it down the front with big
artisticlooking buttons, or it may
have the effect of being tied together
With many smart.ooking little black
satin bows. If she wishes to moro
decidedly change its effect, she will
slip satin messaline or velvet ribbons
through the meshes of the lace at
either side of the front. At the neck
the ribbons are tied in rosettes, and
men again bit further down.

Handy Oil Dropper.

A medicine dropper as an adjunct
to the making of mayonnaise was the
inspiration of a housewife not long
ago. Everyone who ever tried to
make mayonnaise knows the bother OF
adding the oil slowly, drop by drop,

This woman experienced the same diff.
ficulty and met it with the scent med.

II you would drain your cellar you
would have a better job than by try
ing to keep the water out with cement
for if the water comes in to the depth
of two feet it will be impossible to
keep the cellar dry. IL you laid the
cellar bottom with concrete, Portland
cement should be used and should be
not less than four inches thick, the
first three inches to be composed OF
one of cement to nine Of gravel, and
the top inch one Of cement to two OF

as broken stones. If the rock is moi
too far below the surface Of the

All foundations are better if they
are drained, unless in sandy or gravel
~ soil. In a stony subsoil a good
foundation may be made by excavating
deep enough so that the walls will be
below frost. If a drain is put in dc
not put it under the wall; the proper
place is just outside the wall, the
top of tile coming level with the bot
tom of the wall; this will carry off all
the water and not allow it to stand
