STUFFED TOMATO SALAD.

"A stuffed tomato salad is one OF
my new recipes" writes Fannie Mer-
ritt Farmer, the great cooking au-
thority, in her monthly page in the
Woman's Home Companion. "Peel
six small tomatoes, cut slice from
the stem end of each, remove the soft
inside, sprinkle the insides with salt,
and let stand. inverted, thirty min
utes. Mash half ten-cent cream
cheese, add six chopped pimolas, one
tablespoonful of finely chopped pars-
ley, one tablespoonful of tomato pulp,
one-fourth of a teaspoonful of dry
mustard and enough French dressing
to moisten. Fill the tomato cases
with the mixture, and serve on lettuce
leaves with mayonnaise dressing,
which may be successfully made if one
will but follow directions. Mix one
teaspoonful of mustard, one teaspoon
full of salt, one teaspoonful of pow1
dered sugar and few grains of cay
enne. Add the yolks Of two eggs and
stir until thoroughly blended; then
add one-half teaspoonful of vinegar
Add olive oil gradually at hrst, drop
by drop, and stir constantly AS the
mixture thickens, thin with vinegar or
lemon juice Add oil and vinegar or
lemon juice alternately, stirring or
beating constantly, until two table,
spoonfuls each of vinegar and lemon
Juice and one and one-half cupfuls of
olive oil have been used. If the oil is
added too rapidly the dressing will
have curdled appearance. A smooth
consistency may be restored by taking
the yolk of another egg and adding
the curdled mixture slowly to it.
Olive oil for the making of mayon-
naise should always be thoroughly
chilled. The utensil used in the MAX
ing of mayonnaise may be silver
fork, wire whisk, small wooden spoon
Or egg beater."

these have been adopted at some

Now, it would probably be more
efficient to attack the cloud as it were
from its very seat, than to act upon
it from the ground. In fact, as far
back as 1847 Arago and Dupuis-Bel-
court suggested theuse of small cap
tive balloon made entirely of copper,
so as to be impervious, and the sur
face of which would be covered with
sharp points The suggestion was
not tried.
The same idea has now been taken
up by two Belgian aeronauts, Captain
Marga and Mr.. Adhemar de la Hault,
who, however, use a free balloon,
carrying some powerful explosive,
such as dynamite or guncotton, which
is ignited by some attachment as soon
as the balloon has penetrated into the
hail-carrying clouds. The balloon
used by the experimenters is pear
shaped and of three cubic metres ca
pacity When filled with hydrogen
gas it has an ascensional force of
more than four pounds. Five hum
dred grammes of an explosive, with a
nitro-cellulose basis, designed by
Captain Marga, are carried, together
with a slow match.

Towns Tourists Are Vietimized

1t would seem that the American
tourist abroad who would not be vic

in such enterprising centres of Old
World imposition as Paris and Brus-
sells, but that even off the beaten
track of European travel, in such un-
frequented towns as Dunfermline,
Scotland. he must be hardly less
wary.

report from Belgium warning Ameri-
can tourists against the purchase in
Europe of so-called antiques" Max
we'll Blake, Consul for the United
States at Dunfermline, sends to the
department the following timely ad-
vice pertaining to Scotland and to the
Old World generally:
"As the summer season approaches,
in anticipation of the usual annual
influx of Americans, many of whom
continue under the delusion that all
things in this country are as old as

remote villages and unfreuuented
farmhouses, are now occupying them
selves in arranging for display their
various stocks of made to order an

In the preparation of this article
visits were paid to scores of antique
shops, from few of the more trust
worthy ones in the large cities to
those of the smaller and more cum
ming in nearby villages and along
motor car highways, the latter estab-
lishments generally conducted by
some interesting old character who
sat smoking his pipe indifferently,
offering his wares in some basement

which were conventionally screened
by thick net of cobwebs.
Don't look for bargains in an

he should visit dealer of recognized
standing and reliability, for there are
few such; pay him his price, which
is sure to be high, and purchase only
upon his written guarantee that the
article is as represented.

Dip the oranges into the hot sirup,
let them stay a minute or two, then

If you have ring mold freeze the
vanilla ice cream in it, pile up the
hollow with the oranges and pour
the sirup over them both. . If not,
serve the ice cream on round plat
ter, and heap up the oranges around
the base.

Mons. G. BONNER has informed the
French Academy of Sciences of some
experiments. recently tried by him,
which, he thinks, demonstrate that
bees possess a kind of collective in
telligence One OF his most interest
ing experiments was this: He placed
lump of hard sugar within reach
of some bees and near it basin OF
water The bees, finding that thetf
mandibles were incapable of break
ing the sugar, organized sort of
bucket brigade to carry water from
the basin to the sugar. Having re-
duced it to sirupy state, they had
no further difficulty. But Monsieur
BONNER noticed, in all his expert
ments, that single bees gave no such
indications of intelligence. Their
minds seemed to wake up only when
they were acting in company
