Where screws are driven into sort
wood and subjected TO considerable
strain they are very likely to work
loose. and 1t is often difficult to make
them hold. In such cases the use OF
glue IS profitable. Make the glue thick.
Immerse stick about half the size OF
the screw and put it into the mole.
Then put In the screw and drive IL
home as quickly as possible. "hen
there is an article OF furniture to be
hastily repaired and no glue Is at hand,

then heat the screw sufficiently to melt
the rosin rs it is driven IN. Where
screws are driven into wood for tenn
porary purposes they can be more
easily removed by dipping them III oil
before inserting. When buying screws,
notice that the heads are small ana
well cut, that there are no flaws III the

When Marco Polo Was Alarmed.

Regarding the use of bamboo rs fuel
the following quaint lines from the book
OF Messer Marco Polo, the Venetian,
form an interesting example or travel

He says: The people cut the green
canes. of which there are vast num-

burning they burst asunder, and this

The SibyIline Books.

II Is recorded OF Tarquin the Proud,
seventh emperor OF Rome. that an OLD
woman came to him with nine books
which contained, she said, sacred ora
cIes. She asked an enormous price Tor
them, and when the emperor rerused
she flew into rage, threw three OF the
books into the fire and still asked the
same price for the remainder. The en-
peror again refused. and she thereupon
threw three more into the fire ana SUI
asked the same price for the three re-
naming. This so astonished the en-
peror that he bought the three at the
price for which in the first instance he
might have had the nine. These were
the Sibylline books. and their contents
were long looked upon by the Romans
as divine oracles.

a siberian Wonder.

The scientists have for years been
perplexed over the wonderful frozen
well nj Yakutsk. Siberia. AS long ago
as 1898 il was announced that the
ground was frozen to an abnormal
depth at the place referred to. In the
summer OF 1929 q Russian merchant
set a gang Of men to the task OF ascer-
tanning the depth of the frozen stratum.
They gave up the job after digging
some thirty feet in sOlidly frozen
ground. The Russian Academy OF Sci
ences took the matter In hand ana be-
tween 1893 and 1874 dug to depth OF
3S2 feet aud then abandoned the SHAFT
because the earth was still frozen as
hard as rock Natural cold could new
er penetrate to such depth, and the
phenomenon is still unexplained.
