clear and distinct Tapes, which are
often used, are nuisance, and are
not to be compared to lines marked
with lime directly upon the gravel CT
grass. One of the latest machines de-
Weed for marking out tennis courts
is shown in the illustration, says the
Philadelphia Record. 1t consists Of
a casing made of tin or other light
metal and has hinged lid, through
which it can be filed with powdered
lime, with which the lines are made.
The sides and ends Of the casing extend
slightly below the bottom, forming
1anges. These flanges travel near the
ground, their object being to prevent
the wind from blowing away or scat
tering the lime as it is laid out by the
marker. A wheel is journaled within
the casing and extends through an
opening in the bottom of the casing.
The rim of the wheel is corrugated
Obliquely and fits closely in the open
ing. In descending the corrugations
on the wheel carry small charges of
powder out through the opening. The
corrugations being oblique, any
Jumps or distractions in the powder
will be DETECTED to one side. After
the casing has been filled with pow
dered lime, the handle is grasped and
the medicine carried to the point of
use. Therefore the marker is pushed
along over a string or toward given
object, if the users eye be true, and
the result will be that a narrow, but
heavy white line will be formed on
the ground. AS the marker prog
resses, contact with the ground causes
the wheel to rotate, the corrugations
drawing out the powder.

FREsHENlNo THE BEDROOM
Now Is the Time to Look After De-
tails Before the Heavy Work OF
HousecleaninR Is Upon IA

The months fly by in such quick vneS~
ton that before we are aware of Il, the
time will be here for spring cleaning.
II is we'll to plan what changes we are
going to make before this trying time
comes. At this season Of the year rem
nants Of last years wall papers may be
picked up at little prices, as the new
stocks are coming in from February up
to April, and the shelves must be cleared
to make way for the new stock.
Upholstery fabrics will also come IN
shortly, and then the shops make way
for the new materials by closing out last
spring and autumn samples, and other
short lengths, often below cost price. 1t
Is never cheap to buy anything because
It is cheap, unless we want it, but If we
are going to need it, we might as we'll
take advantage of these early spring
sales.
The changes for curtains, bureau Gov
ers and cushions can all be thought OUT
before the spring upheaval. The linen
closet must also be gone through, and
as the ready-made sheets never come
long enough to tuck under at the top and
bottom, It behooves all good housekeep-
ers to make up their own.
1t doesn't take long with a good ma
chine, and the extra comfort of having
unrumpled sheets. is we'll worth the
small amount of trouble in measuring
off the lengths and hemming top and
bottom. Why are sheets never made
long enough? One would think that
the makers would naturally want to
increase the cost by selling more mate
rial, and l have yet to come across
sheet that is not a quarter Of yard
too short.
First decide what to do to freshen
up the bedrooms Having found some
charming papers, plan the color
scheme for the rooms that need bright
ening up. Each pillow and bolster
should have a muslin cover. Who
does not remember the houses where
one sees a thin pillow slip and the
stripped ticking showing through?
The mattress also needs protecting,
as the wire mattresses are apt to dis
color the ticking. 1t is an easy matter
to take new muslin cover, when 1t Is
quite an expensive outlay to have new
ticking covers made for the shabby
looking mattresses. A lightweight
pad is necessary between the bed and
the sheet, although some people pre-
fer a thin blanket.
A bedroom is always more attractive
when there are plenty of dainty
washable curtains and valences in EVIL
dence. A simple valence on a wooden
Stat round a bedstead, is not a har-
binger of germs If it is kept free from
dust, and washed when soiled. We
too often deprive ourselves of these
little dainty accessories, which serve
to make the bedroom attractive and
should not be unsanitary IL house
keeper knows her business. 1t is es-
sential that a bedroom should be
cheerful, and what is more apt to
make it so than pretty curtains and
hangings of chintzes Of harmonious
coloring?
There is no end to the individual
touches that we can put in our rooms.

simple Methods Of Applying the Ger
rect Degree Of Temperature by
Means Of Current.

The following air,ple methods OF
temReIine and annealing tools have
been described by j, NJ. Gladhill BY
uslAa the electric current for the heat,
We van easily carry out the operations,

lated 10 the right point One OF these

carbonate OF potash solution. The
tool 10 be tempered Ia mounted in an
appropriate socket or holder which
is connected with the positive pole
OF tho dynamo. The circuit is closed
by tho metallic tank, Switches and
regulators are placed In the circuit.
The tempering operation is carried
out in the following manner: The cir
cult being closed, the tool is plunged
slowly into the bath so as to dip the
part which is to be tempered. This
part heats up under the action of the
current. When the right temperature
is judged to have been reached, the
current is broken suddenly and the
tempering takes place in the liquid of
the bath. The electric arc may also
be rsed for the same purpose. Fig. 2
shows the arrangement which is used
in this case. The tool to be tempered
Is placed upon support of fireproof
material which is also q poor conduc-
tor of heat, and the arc is started at
first at low tension between the por-
ton Of the tool which we desire to
temper and carbon electrode placed
near 1t. The tension is increased by
working a rheostat until we obtain the
necessary heat, but overheating or
melting Of the tool is avoided. AS a
source of current we use direct cur
rent dynamo which will give a tension
varying from so to $50 volts. The dy-
namo is operated by an electric motor
working at 200 volts. In this way it
is possible to produce arcs varying
from 10 to 1000 amperes by working
