THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

Here is a recipe which is effcacious for
cleaning fabrics WITHOUT injuring their tex
ture or changing their color It is also par
ticularly good in cleaning rugs and carpets:
Crate two raw potatoes in a bowl which
contains pint OF clear, cold water. Now
strain through a sieve, allowing the LIQUID
to fall into another bowl containing a pint
Of cold water. When it settles pour the
water into a bottle for future use. Dip a
sponge into the potato water and rub the
soiled garment carefully. after which it
may be washed In clear water.

AN AMERICAN GENIUS.
Equal to Kimberley's Problems Of
Water, Food and Ammunition.

N0gC1S IUVU anu kA1uluuultlUus
Although Mr.. Labram's services
were known and appreciated by the
authorities 1t was not until the second
month of the siege that the people of
Kimberly as whole and the ranks
and file of the troops came to realize
the versatility of the Americans
genius. From the somewhat prosaic
problems of water, food and light
the chief engineer of De Beers sud-
/ denly turned to work which set all
Kimberley talking. ..5
When the siege began the artillery
strength of the town consisted Of the
Twenty-third Battery, Royal Garrison
artilley, with six even-pound noun
tain guns, and local volunteer bat
terry of six seven-pound guns. These
twelve pieces had each an effective
/ range of about 1000 yards; two UNI
reliable old Cape police seven Founders
completed the list. The inadequacy
of such equipment was in itself SER
GUS enough. It paralyzed the whole
scheme Of defense. The full gravity
of the situation did not appear, how
ever, until the beginning Of November,
when Colonel Chamier, who command
ed the artillery forces, reported that
the ammunition for his guns was CIV
ing out. a moments reflection will
show that, with her cannon silenced,
Ktmberley's doom was accomplished.
Small as her guns were, they prevent
ed the enemy from bringing up their
heavy ordnance to within 1000 yards
OF the town. and they made possible
g number of minor operations outside
the barrier, such as reconno isances,
patrols and the grazing Of horses and
mules. In fact their presence insured
q marginal area around the town
essential to defense. II they went
out Of action the enemy would newt
ably move up their artillery and batter
the place from point blank range.
The authorities at once reduced the
expenditure of ammunition; but still
the supply dWindled. Apparently there
|! was only one possible upshot. AL a
| meeting OF the star Mr.. Labram asked
Il he might see one Of the sevep-pOund
shells. After az mining 1t carefully
he said guess i can make things
h like that all right His confidence
was not immedi ately communicated to
I the officers about hin. They knew

experiment, and began work in the
De Beers shops. His foundry may
be said to have been the child of his
own brain, for he was without even
reliable handbooks to guide him. The
most important part of shell manufac-
ture is the fixing of a satisfactory fuse.
Mr.. Labram overcome this difficulty
by invention. He designed a percus-
sion fuse to be inserted in hole drill
ed for its reception in the point of the
shell. The fuse consisted of a brass
body with screw thread outside and
a steel block, or plunger, working
freely in an axial direction inside.
The plunger, through which a small
hole was bored, was pointed at the
front end. In recess in front, a
percussion cap was held in position
by a screwed plug.
While the shell travelled forward,
the plunger, being loose, remained at
the back of the fuse. On sudden
stoppage, however, it shot forward and
struck the percussion cap. A spark
then Travelled along the hole and ex-
ploded the bursting charge of gun
powder contained in the body of the
shell. To prevent the plunger from
fAAAoVAh5 WACh InO oACll was uduulSu,
a light spiral spring was SO placed as
to require compression before the nip
pie could touch the cap. AS an extra
precaution. safety wires were provid-
ed, which had to be broken before the
plunger could move The united
strength of these safety attachments
was not more than sufficient to pre-
vent premature explosion in case of
accidental fall.
In practice Mr. Labram's astonish-
ing invention proved entirely salts
factory. In an amazingly short time
this man, who had scarcely seen a
shell until few days before, was
supplying the artillery headquarters
with between 60 and 20 projectiles
every "a hours shell moreover, of a
quality exhaustive test of over three
months continual use pronounced Eek
