Dear Sirs: A new word has come
into use in paint; it is strong. Strong
paint is paint as strong as paint can
be. Weak paint is paint not so strong.
If one paint takes 10 gallons to do
a job and another Is, the 1O-gallon
paint is the stronger.
If one paint wears 10 wears. and
another 5, the 1O-year paint is the
stronger.
The strongest paint is the one that
takes least gallons and wears longest.
But do such differences exist? Yes
and greater. DevOe is the strongest
Of all. a job that takes 10 gallons
Devoe takes more than 20 of some.
And a job of Devoe wears several
times as long as job Of some paints.
Perry. East Sth st, Erie Pa.
painted two houses same size; same
time; with two paints same price:
took 3 gallons Devoe to Of thc 9th

be too strong. Yours truly

MAKING USE OF SOLAR HEAT.
Time May Como When the Sun VIII
Run Worlds Engines.

Ash "Oiiu CIuSlncS.
Science" said Prof Huxley. us
frequently on the brink OF some great
truth, but 1t Is left to chance to dis
pcrse the vapors which obscure It,"
How true this is was never so well
exemplified as at the outset of the
twentieth century says the Chicago
Chronicle. We are actually lowering
on the very margin Of the promised
land, so that many who are not seers.
In the metaphysical sense, may pierce
the mist. Today in Europe and North
America, in chemistry, in biology, in
physics. in astronomy, in geology,
thousand eager brains are at work
end number of interesting problems
are almost solved.
"A problem which has been enga9.
ing the wits Of practical philosophers
for the last quarter of a century con-
Germs the utilization Of solar heat.
Nothing is more important to the
world than the supply of heat for
economics and industrial purposes.
Science has learned to prevent the
dissipation f'cold and ice has long
been produced with little trouble in
the heart of the tropics
But the conservation Of heat has so
| far bafiled the inventor, although he
sees the evil day approaching when it
| will be of the utmost moment to the
| inhabitants Of this planet. AS Ste
phenson said, it is really the sun
which drives our engines, though at
| second hand; for what is coal but
stored sun power?
According to the late Prof Langley.
| from every square yard Of earth ex-
posed perpendicularly to the suns
rays there could be derived more than
one horse power. Thus in less than
the area of London the noOntide heat
Is sufficient on moderately sunny
day to drive all the steam engines i'm
the world.
One Of the first to put this idea to
practical test was NJ. Mouchot, who
constructed solar engine looking
like gigantic inverted umbrella. The
parabolic reflector concentrated the
heat on the boiler in the focus, and
drove a steam engine with it, Mr.
Ericsson invented an improved form.
hut the difficulty hitherto has been to
lessen the cost Of utilizing the heat.
81 hope some day." declared Mr.
Tesla, with an apparatus l have in.
vented so to harness the rays of the
sur that that body will operate every
machine in our factories, propel every
train and carriage in our streets and
do all the cooking in our home, as
we'll as furnish al the light that man
may need by night as we'll as by day.
1t will, in short, replace all wood and
coal as producer of motive power
and heat and electric lighting"
His idea Is simple enough, consist
Ing as 1t does OF concentrating the
heat Of the sun on a focal point by a
series at mirrors and magnifying
glasses and the great heat so produce
ed Is directed upon glass cylinder
filled with water. This latter is chem
ically prepared so that 1t rapidly evap-
| crates into steam.
The steam Is made to operate a
steam engine. which. in turn gene
rates electricity. This electricity Is re.
ccived by storage batteries and a vast
end cheap supply is generated for all
purposes.

How the Buffalo Died.

1t was up and down the Red River
that Henry passed during the years
Of mis- trading at Fort Pambian, and
it was C. \. Bell, we believe, who,
in papers read before the. Historical
Society of Manitoba, first brought TO
notice the extraordinarily interesting
Henry Journal. which was later ei-.b-
Grated by DR.. Coucs.
Here was q land which ct certain
seasons was run ever BY the buffalo

called the Scratching River. On these
streams as Oh others III the West
there was always wholesale dcstruc-
ton OF the buffalo j.. INC gpring when
the ice went out. AS Henry says,
ut really is astonishing what guam
titles must have persisted, as they
formed one continued line in the mid
die OF the river for the parts OF two
days and nights. One of my men
found an entire herd OF buffalo that
had fallen through the ice in Park
River and drowned. They We're still
sticking in the ice" A month later
he writes: Buffalo still drifting

The Standard of Beauty.

What we commonly call beautiful
| is that which is liked by the majority
Of contemporaries in the same stage
of culture AS individual taste is not
always Influenced by the opinion of
the majority, it becomes an almost
impossible task to establish law as
to what is absolutely beautiful, i. e.,
OF nature that could be liked under
| any circumstance.
There is not, nor can there be, such
standard; for the idea of beauty.
like that of morality. is not a con
slant, but is fuctuating one, under
going various changes under the in.
fluence of culture, social evolution
and individual differentiation. Every
people, every individual, every stage
of human progress has an ideal, con.
ceptiOn of beauty Of its own. If ir
the beauty contest between Hera,
Athene and Aphrodite On Mount Ida,
instead OF Paris, any other had been
the judge, the prize would probably
not have been. awarded to the froth-
born goddess. A HOttentot Venus diff
fers as much from the Venus of Milo
as the Venus of Milo does from the
Venus of Medici or the Goddess of
Isis. A we'll shaped nose which a
Caucasian considers beautiful would
be called deformity by the Tartars.
Thus, the wife of Dshangis Khan was
considered the most beautiful woman
Of Tartary, owing to her two hollows
in the face. which she had in place
of nose. With us thick, soft, long
and glossy hair is generally consid.
cred beautiful. The Indians of Para
quay, however, shave their hair off
as they do not wish to look like the
horses" We admire white teeth. In
some countries, however, they dye
the teeth red, blue or black, and
would be ashamed of showing their
teeth "as white as a dogs" Such
being the case. it is apparent that a
universal" standard of beauty is i'm.
