Hydrogen gas is made from iron and
suIphuric acid. The amounts necessary
for a 10-foot balloon are 125 pounds of
iron borings and 125 pounds of sui
phuric acid. One pound of iron, one
pound of sulphuric acid and four pounds
of water will make four cubic feet of
gas in one hour. Secure two empty
barrels of about So gallons capacity and
connect them, as shown in Fig. 3. with
three-quarters of an inch pipe. In the
| barrel A, place the iron borings and fill
one-half full of clear water. Fill the
| other barrel, b, with water two inches
above the level of the water in barrel A.
This is to give a water-pressure head

SCIENCE AND INVENTION.
Work Of the Worlds Busy Brains in Discovering nvenng and
Creating.

Our Government is becoming inter
ested in the gas-producer' engine and
the Secretary of the Interior has sent to
the Senate the results of Investigations
of low grade fuels as to their adapta-
bility for g. s-producer engines. The
tests have shown that many fuels OF
such low grade as to be valueless for
steam may be valuable for producer
gas engines. Goals with as high per-
centage of ash as As per cent have been
successfully converted into producer
gas, and it MAY be generally stated that
two and one half times as much power
can be produced in this way as by
burning coal under a boiler. Even the
low grade lignites of North Dakota
prove to be of much value, which is OF
Importance, as there are between TO-
100000 and 30,000.000 acres of public
lands which have no other value except
the immense deposits of lignites. Ar

A Simple Test which Any

Do you know whether you are in

Have you ever tried the simple test
of setting aside your urine in a bottle
or vessel for twenty-four hours?
sediment or settling in the urine
indicates a diseased condition.
Science has to-day furnished proofs
that all the purifying that your blood
needs; in fact, all that can be done,
must be done by your kidneys.
They are the most important organs
because they filter and purify the blood
The kidneys strain or filter out the
impurities in the blood-that Is theil
work.
When your blood is impure. nothing
can purify 1t but your kidneys.
To overcome these troubles take DR.
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the world-fam

quarter circle and intersecting the per-
pendicular lire drawn parallel with CD.
A line is now drawn from b to u and
from E to F, and SO on, until all the
intersecting lines are touched and the
point C is reached. This will form the
proper curve to cut the pattern. The
paper is now folded on the line ALB and
then on the line CD, keeping the mark
ed part on the outside. The pattern is
now cut, cutting all four quarters at the
same time on the curved line from b
to c. When the paper is unfolded you
will have a pattern as shown in Fig. q.
This pattern is used to mark the cloth,
and after marked is cut the same shape
and size.
The cloth segments are sewed togeth-
err. using a fine needle and No. 70
thread, making a double seam as shown
in Fig. 3. When all seams are COM
pleted you will have a bag the shape
shown in Fig. 4. A small portion of
one end or a seam must be left open
for initiating. A small tube made from
the cloth and sewed into one end will
make a better place for initiating and

1t is now necessary to varnish the
bag in order to make it retain the gas.

heavy body, boiled linseed Oil and I'M
merse the bag in it. The surplus Oil Is
squeezed out by running the bag thru

Electric Heating Of Greenhouses.

The growth of plants is known to be
stimulated by weak electric currents
applied to the soil, but it has not been
supposed to be economical to use cleo
tricity for conversion into heat for
warming hotbeds. as has been done by
;Gs Hartman in his experiments at Tur-
bine, Ont. His heater consists of about
ESQ feet of one-twelfth inch iron wire
wound in seven two-inch coils on one
and a half inch iron pipe. the coils
connected in series, being mounted on
porcelain knobs on a piece of asbestos
board frame about six by eight feet
in size has floor, on which is about
five inches of soil, and the top of the
frame is covered with two sashes. The
heater is placed under the floor. Cur
rent is taken from a 110-volt circuit,
but the energy actually received last
year was Is amperes at so volts. This
gave sufficient heat. The hotbed was
kept quite warm, and tender flowers
and vegetables developed rapidly in the
early Spring weather.

On transcribing a number of these
