OF the inventors of defensive elements

One inventor has evolved the idea
OF torpedo which carries a gun in

ship the torpedo explodes and this ex-

The application of oil to the sides

most of the resistance to the pas.

the surface of the moving body and

the speed of the torpedo.
Inc faVorite argument offered for
the consideration of congress by the
inventor of some alleged deadly en-.

to make war impossible. If this does
not serve the purpose, then there is
the argument that high patriotic duty

The PAINTING SEASON.

Good results In painting at the least
cost depend largely upon the material
chosen. Paint is a simple compound
and the ingredients can be easily test
ed The solid part or pigment should
he White Lead. The liquid part
should be Lnseed Oil. Those best in
formed on painting always buy these
ingredients separately and have their
painter mix them fresh for each job.
Before the mixing the test is made.
Place a pea-sized bit of White Lead
on a piece of charcoal or piece OF
wood. Blow the flame against 1t and
see what 1t will do. II 1t Is pure
White Lead, little drops of bright, pure
metallic lead will appear, and with pa
thence the White Lead can be COM
pletely reduced to one globule OF metal
lie lead. This Is because pure White
Lead is made from metallic lead.
You may test dozens of other So
called White Leads and not be able
to reduce one of them to lead. IL they
will not change wholly to lead but
leave a residue, it is clear that some
adulterant is present.
If you should have your painting
done with such materials, no matter
how cheap they might seem, it would
be costly in the end.
National Lead Company, Wood
bridge Building, New York City, are
sending on request blowpipe free to
any one about to have painting done,
so that the White Lead may be test
ed. With it will be sent handsomely
printed booklet having as it's frontis-
piece the Dutch Boy Painter" re-
produced from the original painting.
This little painter has become noted
as the guaranty of pure White Lead.

crop that will require cultivation, more
progress will be made than can be
made in any other way. Many a thin
