Your Property.

4.ll you had before your marriage
is still yours, and in most States you
have also the sole ownership of that
which you acquire after marriage
Your right minded husband will wish
you to have your property stand in
your name, that it may be free from
the possible attachment of his credi-
tors. If your property or part of it
be real estate, remember that the
law of the State in which real estate
is situated governs all matters con-
cerning it. All your property is
subject to the laws of your domi-
cile. Some States require a man to
join in deed of his wife's property,
even though the property is really
hers. Get legal advice on such
points. 1t is seldom safe to be a
party to the transfer of property
without it.-Caroline j. Cook, in
Good Housekeeping.

the girl was saying It's as mex

return to it again and again, always
picking up some new and interesting
fact. Here, for instance, under the
heading of women's occupations,
see that 1906 women earn their liv-
ing as fishermen and oystermen, and
just listen to this.--1320 as
guides, trappers, hunters and scouts!
Aren't those astonishing trades for
women? What in the world do you
suppose made those 1920 women go
in for trapping and hunting? Prob
ably they are the daughters of
woodsmen and help their fathers,
or perhaps they are the widows of
trappers, scouts, etc, who have
found it necessary to do something
after the death OF the breadwinner,
and so went on following his craft as
the easiest thing possible. Any
how, their strange employments
open up interesting perspectives of

shipping Fish without Water.

Corsul-General Richard Guenther
writes that experiments made in Ger
many in the transportation of live

live out of water for days.

with carbonic acid, from the water
containing oxygen, and the practical
result is the same as with the human

It had been noticed long ago that
many kinds OF fish could live out of
water for some time provided that
the gills remain vet In order to

II the moisture had to be prevented;
FOR Ills purpose the fish were placed
IN an atmosphere thoroughly satur-
ated with water vapor An hermetl-
cally closed wooded box was filled
with water to the depth of about
one-third OF an inch, or the bottom
was covered with wet rags, which
through evaporation kept the air in
the box always saturated. The fish
were placed in the box, which was
then shut Theoretically by the lid.
Through a tube oxygen was intro
duced Before entering the box the
oxygen passed through several water
bottles, which thoroughly saturated
it with water vapor. in this way the
fish are always in a pure oxygen at
mosphere The result of the expert
ments was surprising. Carp, tench
bleak and other FISH remained in
the box for from three to four days
perfectly we'll. When they were then
placed in water they swan about in
a lively manner and appeared per
fectly fresh
This mode of transportation is
much more economical than shipping
live fish in water tanks. BY the
latter method the weight of every
shipment was ninety-three to ninety
six per cent. water.

happens to live at a boarding house.

for themselves. Ask yourself if you

oven until the cheese is melted. A
tablespoonful of turpentine placed
in the boiler with clothes will whiten

is right for the baking of bread or

ALCOHOL IN GAS ENGINES.
Only Slight Changes Needed in the
Mechanism.

1t has been asserted that the
farmers use more gasolene every
year in small engines than do the
owners of automobiles. We do not
know whether the statement is true,
but great many people will have
chance next year to substitute al
cohol for gasolene. If, as has been
said, grain alcohol can be produced
for ten cents a gallon in large guam
titles, it ought to retail for less than
gasolene, which now costs from
eighteen TO twenty-five cents. Care.

of power can he had from a given
quantity of alcohol as from gasolene
One estimate makes it possible to
get horsepower from pint of

be made to work in an engine in.
tended for gasolene. but in building
entirely new engines the designs will
probably need 10 be modified in Ger.
tain ways
The opinion is expressed by the
Iron Age that the most important
change that will be required will be
in the cylinder and its intermediate
parts. other things being equal,
the essential factor in determining
the economy and efficiency of an OK
plosive engine is the extent of COM
preston that is possible with the
mixture of vapor and air. This is
greatly in favor of alcohol since the
compression can be carried much
higher than with gasolene without
danger OF premature explosion The
same rule obtains here as in other
explosives; guncotton is compare
lively. harmless substance until
closely confined. Compression in
gasolene engine ranges from forty
five to sixty pounds a square inch,
varying according to the design and
the rapidity Of the cooling of the
cylinder A higher compression
being possible with an alcohol mix
ture, the combustion is more per-
feet and the energy greater with
equal volumes of gas.
In all gas engines, exc lt those of
the throtti,ng type. the cylinder is
completely filed with tAc mixture
during the stroke just preceding ig-
milton. If the clearance were as
small as in the ordinary steam en-
gine the heat due to compression
would be so sceat as TO cause in
flammation OF the gas before the pis-
ton rod had reached the end of its
stroke. To overcome this, the com
mon gasolene engine is made with a
clearance equal to one-fourth TO one
fifth OF the volume of the cylinle
This clearance will have to be re.
duced to meet the requirements Of
an alcohol miEture and obtain a
higher compression before ignition
by the spark takes place. In this
country engines have not been de.
signed for the use of alcohol, neither
have endeavors been made to modify
the ordinary engines for that purpose.
The price of alcohol has been so ex.
cessive as to discoL. age and in fact
prohibit its employment as a fuel
for power purposes. There has been
absolutely no incentive along that
line But much work has been done
in this direction in Germany and
France, where alcohol is cheap and
engines using il are common.

Bishop that his state OF mind entitled
him to admission The negro had been
