How TO Tell Good Salt

wonder why she often over or undersalts her
dishes when she knows that she salted them
Just right, as she always did, and as the receipts
call for.
The reason IS simple: the seasoning value Of
different brands Of salt varies widely. This
statement IS easily proved. Take five slices Of
ripe tomatoes; apply equal parts of five makes
Of salt upon the separate slices. Eat as soon
as salted. The differences in flavor permea-
tion, rapidity and equality of dissolution, sea-
sonng value, are readily detected.
\ table salt should he fine, the crystals Of
equal size, quickly soluble, and free from in
gradients which absorb moisture from the air.
Large and small crystals viii not dissolve uni
formly, consequently the full sailing effect is
not obtained until the large crystals are dis
solved. The quickly soluble salt difiuses itself
through the food at once, and gives an equality

Failures in sailing are largely due to changing

Balloon Telephones

BALLOON telephones have been used in the

up with the aeronauts for many miles. In the

Much has been said about farmers sitting in
their homes IN the evening and listening
TO the news OF the day telephOned To them. and
later enjoying the music in some distant opera
house. Churches are also being equipped with
a modified form OF the telephone SO that one
need not bother leaving his home TO hear the
Sunday mornings sermon. Those who are
very deaf can hear sermons through an inn
proved telephone instrument. Few people
have their auditory nerves far weakened
that they cannot hear words shouted into a re-
ceiver and electrically transmitted and intensi-
ned. In these notifications of the telephones
the hopes Of thousands Of deaf are placed. An
asylum for deaf people was recently equipped
with such devices, and eighty per cent. Of the
inmates can converse with each other and listen
TO music, preaching, and prayers. Some Of the
inmates had not been able To hear a word OF
conversation IN twenty years.
Railroad telephonlng Is an assured accom-

fifty miles an hour can pick up a message as
easily as II il standing still. Tunnel diggers
