A Hungarian chemist has recently discovered a process for rendering building materials proof against the effects of time. It is asserted that the substance, which he has named zorene, doubles the density of stone and renders it waterproof. The dis covery is the result of long series of experiments made on some speCi- mems of mortar in GreCian ruins, showing a remarkable preservation. The following experiments are illus trative of the effect of zorene: A piece of ordinary and easily break able slag after immersion in zorene defied the full blow of hammer. There was the same effect on Ordi- nary bricks and a block of red jarrah wood. All three were then immersed in water for a long time. When taken out and weighted with delicate scales the presence of a single par ticle of added moisture could not be detected. Two pieces of steel sub mitted to an ammonia test equal to five years exposure to the. air emerged from the bath as they en- tered it. An ordinary table knife which had lain open five months did not show the slightest stain. Pro- lessor Brunn asserts that he will be able to make roads dust, germ and waterproof, thus giving a commer-

of the box, and the water will keep on boiling In one instance Mrs. Knerr found the water was 138 after the kettle had been removed from the fire nine hours. If the box is lined with asbestos all the better, as this retains the heat. The box is invaluable when one wants soup, cook beans, or rice, or oatmeal, or any thing that requires time. Before going to bed at night, get the oat- meal to boiling point, put it in the cook box, and in the morning it will l be done. Of course the box cannot do anything when it comes to baking, or frying or browning. That must be done after the article is taken from 1 the cook box. Mrs. Kneer cooks all kinds of vegetables this way except peas, which are better when cooked 1 later. Any woman can make one that will do, and if her husband will help, she can make one that will reduce her fuel bills to the minimum. There is no heat connected with a cook box.

of fasteners not long ago, when
the question of triple plays came
up, when Gilbert said:
"a player wants to go after
everything. Be on the jump all

the most difficult ball. Even If 1t
looks safe go after it; you can't
tell what might happen.
Errors don't figure with me, and
know they don't with McGraw.

you can put down as anchoring
himself on one spot and praying
that the ball doesn't come his way.
