the sewing screen. This may range Il
height from three to four feet, aud in
width from two to two and q half feet.
The screen consists Of two upright
pieces Of narrow wood connected by
three short pieces of the same width
--one at the top, one at the bottom,
ane one in the middle of each panel.
Over the back of each panel is
stretched plain piece of denim or a
lowered piece of cretonne. /. Suppose
the screen to be painted white and the
back pieces blue in color. Get Gre

some such dainty design. and make a
large pocket for the top and bottom of
one side of the screen by cutting a
strip n foot or more longer than the
width of the screen and gathering 1t
to tape an inch below the top.
Gather the bottom edge and sew it to
the foundation of the screen. lacking
the sides to the wood with little brass
tacks. Long. almost headless. brass
nails are driven in row into the
wooden lar across one panel of the
screen. and few small hooks are
screwed into the top of the opposite
side. Spools of various sizes are slid
over the nails, and the hooks are used
to hang up cmeries. scissors and little
things Of that sort during the process
of sewing. Smaller bags attached to
the scheen are for buttons. tapes and
the host of small things one requires
while sewing: while a small pin
cushion hangs on hook at the top OF
one corner end reedlehook is con.
veniently attached to the other. The
big pocket on the screen is for the
work itself and patterns.

might be curved at the top. and the
little shelf attached to one side might
also .be-<curyed. This little shelf Is
covered with plain blue. having the
edges of the cloth tackled down with
little brass tacks. Two little hinges

Artificial pumice Stone.

While emery is used for polishing
tools, polishing sand for stones and
glass. ferric oxide for fine glassware,
and lime and felt for metals, pumice
stone is more frequently employed for
polishing softer objects. Natural
aumice stone presents but little firm
ness, and the search has therefore
been made to replace the natural prod
uct with an artificial one. A German
firm has produced an artificial stone
by means Of sandstone and clay, de-
signed to be used for a variety OF
purposes. No. /, hard or soft, with
coarse grain, is designed for leather
and waterproof garments, and for the
industries of felt and wool; No. 2.
hard and soft, Of average grain, is de-
signed for work in stucco and sculp-
tors use, and for rubbing down wool
before painting; No. 3, soft, with fine
grain, is used for polishing wood and
tin articles; No. 4, of average hard
ness. with fine grain, is used for CIV
ing to wood surface previous to pol
fishing with oil; No. 5, hard, with fine
grain, is employed for metal work and
stones, especially photographic stones.
These artificial products are utilized in
the same manner as the volcanic prod
ucts. For giving smooth surface to
wood. the operation is dry, but for fin
ishing the product is diluted with oil

Flower Of England.

The flower of England is the rose,
and this choice dates back to the Wars
Of the Roses, when that branch of the
royal family known as the house OF
Lancaster chose red rose for its
badge. and the rival branch, the house
Of York, had a white rose. Previous
to that date the badge Of the English
royal family, the Plantagenets, was a
sprig of broom, from which indeed
they took their surname, as the found
er OF the family Fulke Martel, the
earl Of Anjou, having expiated a crime

Investigate Deep Wells That Blow

Blowing wells, otherwise known as
breathing wells, are being. inyestigat-
ed Ivy the United States geological sur
vey. They have already examined
many wells that emit currents Of air,
with more or less force, sometimes ac-
companied by a whistling sound audi
BILE for long distance. The best
known example OF this type Of well
are found throughout Nebraska. The
force Of the air current in one Of the
Louisiana wells Is SUFFICIENT to keep a
mans hat suspended above it! The
cause Of such phenomena Is mainly
due to changes In atmos pheric pres.
sure or to changes in temp erature.
