For removing rust from polished
steel, an effective mixture is made by
taking 10 parts Of tin putty, parts of
prepared buckhorn and 25O parts spir-
It's OF wine. These ingredients are
mixed to soft paste and rubbed in on
the surface until the rust disappears.
Practically all the California and
Texas fuel oils contain more or less
water, sand, asbestos, fiber and marsh
gas, says the Paint, Oil and Drug Re-
view. Some grades of oil flow freely,
while others are more viscous, even
though they have lower specific gray
ity.
The Inferior Bohemian graphite,
which Is too impure or compact for use
In pencils, Is ground fine and freed
from sulphides and other heavy min.
erals. The refined material does not
contain more than 30 or 60 per cent
OF graphite, and Is used in the manu-
facture of inferior crucibles and for
stove polish.
According to the English Mechanic,
articles Of brass or copper boiled in a
solution of stannate of potassium mix
ed with turnings or scraps Of tin in a
few moments become covered with a
firmly attached layer OF fine tin. A
similar effect is produced by boiling
the articles with tin turnings or scraps
and caustic alkali or cream Of tartar.
The number of carriages and vehi-
cles OF every description crowding the
streets Of Paris augments continually,
and the danger, not only to pedestri-
ans, but to the carriages themselves,
has become so great that an engineer,
Monsieur Henard, proposes the estab-
lishment, at the most dangerous cross
ings, Of circular island of refuge"
in the center, and the regulation Of all
traffic In such a manner that every We
hicle traversing the crossing point, no
matter what it's ultimate direction may
be, shall pass round the central plateau
In the same direction. Thus the dan
ger Of collision and the peril to foot
passengers would be reduced to a mini
mum. The cut illustrates the opera
ton of this proposed whirlpool of traf-
fic.
The interest of astronomers in the
strange red spot, about 10000 miles in
length, which has been visible on the
surface of the planet Jupiter since
1878, Is Intensified by the recent obser-
vations of Mr.. w. F. Denning, and
Others on a remarkable change in it's
rate Of motion. In a period Of about
three months last year it was dis
placed some 16 degrees of longitude
from the position calculated as the ba-
sis Of it's former motion. This is the
greatest change that has ever been OBJ
served In it's rate of motion. On Ju-
piter the visible surface of the planet
does not revolve, like the surface Of
the earth, everywhere with the same
angular velocity, but, in general, the
parts nearest the equator move with
the greatest rapidity. Thus the huge
planet resembles rotating ball Of con-
stantly changing clouds, and in the
midst Of these the great red spot seems
to float.

Qua Character Who IL Gettfn~ Rscn
On Needs Of Cornell student.
WIN the close OF the school year at
cornell University, Aaron Wells. more
widely known at "Pinochle," reaps a
golden harvest. Stnudents who arc
hard up go to him at this time and
borrow money, sometimes on notes and
frequently ION honor" only. but thew
one and all have to pay old Pinochle
fat interest.
Wells began business there ten wears
ago practically without a dollar Too
poor to pay rent, he stood on the street
Offering to buy secondhand wearing
apparel of any kind. Now he has q
pretentious clothing store and it is as
much of a landmark as the Dutch
Kitchen or the Office of the registrar OF
the university. Five men are now ON.
ployed by the Industrious clothier who
makes small fortune in this business
alone.
His agents still hang around on the
corners, but Pinochle only goes up the
hill when telephoned for. Every once
In a while swell fraternity men will
summon him up to the house and there
is grand clearance sale. Suits that
have only been worn for one season
dress clothes that are a bit too small
overcoats OF the most fashionable
styles, all are thrown toward the little
clothing man with the query, "What
am l bidr Sometimes the clothes are
fairly worn out more often the owner
is pretty hard up. and. in both cases
they are sold for a ridiculously low
price.
A suit that cost $40 will 90 to Pin
ochle for 81, and dress coats and over
coats bring from S. to $40. Sometimes
the student will kick, but the best be
can get out of the imperturbable dealer
is: well, I'll match you. Five dol
lars Or nothing" And even at this
game he usually wins He makes about
800 per cent on every article he buys
but the students need the money, SO
they let it go.
But 1t Is in the money lending bust
ness that Wells has acquired the great
est celebrity. Almost any fraternity
man in Ithaca with whom he has done
business in clothes, or any well-to-do
student who can get an Introduction to
him, can make touch" when he lie
hard up. and thousands Of dollars are
loaned out every year. Money to &c
home on, to bet on football, baseball
and track games and crew races, to
pay bills that are about to be sued on
to play poker within fact, money fol
everything can be obtained from Wells
In small sums or large, 1t makes little
difference. Sometimes the men leave
town without paying up; there have
been cases Of loans as high as $500
standing out for years, but in the enc
they are collected. Either the borrow
ers themselves pay or their parents pay
for them, as Pinochle keeps close watch
and knows the addresses of all his
clients. He is the best pinochle player
in Ithaca.

MUTUAL SERVICE.

The experience of Capt. Robert Ben
ham, during troubles with the Indians
in Ohio In 1778, Is one Of the stranges
in the history Of Indian warfare. The
author Of 1.-The Ohio River" gives 6
description of 1t. Having broker
through the line Of Indians during 6
battle, Benham made his escape, though
wounded by a musket-ball in both Leg
near the loins. He reached an i'm
mense fallen tree, crawled under it
and lay still through the ensuing night
and the next day, in bitterest pain.
ION the evening of the second day
he shot a raccoon ON a tree near by
hoping by some means to get and cooh
1t. At the crack of his musket the
sound of a human voice reached him
In q moments time he reloaded and
awaited the Indians approach, resolv
ed to fight to the last extremity. The
voice sounded nearer.
"Whoever you are were the be
seeching words, answer me- And al
the words borderer, shot through
both arms, came into sight
THE comrades were unspeakably
pleased each to find the other, for be
tween them they had a pair of arms
and a pair Of legs, and therefore some
hope Of life and escape. As best he
could. Benham dressed all the wounds
and then proceeded to cook some food
all that could be done with arms and
hands Benham did, cooking, loading
and firing the gun.
"His comrade, having the rims Of a
hst nlaced between his feet by Ben
ham. waded into the river and secured
.uf,c.ent water for their needs; he also
drove Wild turkeys near enough to Ben
ham to allow him to bring some down,
and then he kept tossing them with
the too Of his boot toward camp until
thev we're within Benham's reach. BY
~. name means he kept his partner
supplied with wood.
"When the wounds healed and the
men could travel, they camped at the
mouth Of Licking River in the hope

hoat Near the last Of November a
boat was hailed, and although 1t took
.ome time to prove that they were
not .nch savages as their appearance
indicated. they were taken on board
and carried to Louisville.

Among the business Office fittings are
oak boxes with index cards and hum
dred file cards, which cost 50 cents
They are the best household filing ar

use them for receipts, because the card
wanted can be removed and taken to
the kitchen without carrying the entire

to be inserted new cards are put into
their right places
