HOW TO SAVE OIL.
Apparatus Which Will Aid in Economy
in Shop.

One of several experiments as
shown in Fig. ! demonstrates the fact
that dirty oil cannot be cleaned by
passing it through hot water. When
oil is passed through water or exposed
10 moist atmosphere it vii! absorb
from two 10 three per cent. OF mois-
ture and the muddy and turbid ap-
pearance of the oil coming through
the ordinary filter is caused by the
moisture it contains. To try this eX-
pertinent out, solder a small tin cap
over the lower end of funnel and
make small hole in the center of the
cap. This will cause the Gil to be
spread out in drops as shown. A
:umbler is filled half full of hot water
and placed on a steam pipe or where
it will remain hot. Place the funnel
in the tumbler with the empowered
end about two inches under water
Gig. ~ and then turn the dirty oil in
very slowly AS each drop of oil forms
on the edge of the cap, to
flow through the water, watch
them and see if they will leave
any dirt behind. After enough dirty oil
is put through to fill the glass. the wa
ter will be as clear as before Put
some iron filings in the oil and make
another trial. The globules of oil will
carry the filings up with them.

Husband Averse to Bathing During
Thirty Years Is Defendant

Washington, Pa.-Charging that her
husband has not bathed since their
marriage, 80 years ago, Mrs. Irene A.
Strain OF near Washington is suing for
a divorce from Thomas r. Strain, a
wealthy farmer.
Strain, in turn, has brought a coun-
ter suit for separation against the
woman in which he makes some
startling charges.
In open court Mrs. Strain, besides
charging her husband with failure to
take a bath since 1878, says that he
has blackened her eyes, kicked her
shins, forced her to care for the
stock and do all the chores about the
farm.
She testified that Strain left his dy-
ing daughter two years ago, made a
pleasure trip to Philadelphia, and did
not return until after the funeral.
Neighbors corroborated Mrs. Strains
tale of abuse.
On the stand the husband said that
a small fortune had been dissipated
by his wife's extravaganza. that when
angry she burned his hay and grain
and destroyed his farming imple-

the rear of the cart and consists of
collector which connects with gears,
wheels and other operating parapher-
MALTA. The collector gathers up the
dirt, etc, as the cart is moving, raises
1t over the dashboard and dumps It.
Any ordinary cart equipped with the
apparatus can collect load In a very
few minutes. OF course, it Is unneces-
sary for the driver to dismount during
the operation. When the cart Is
filled, levers are dsengaged and the
apparatus temporarily put out of COM
mission until the cart is emptied and
ready for the next load.

EATS UP THE COAL.
Largest Coal Breaker in the World at
Plymouth, Pa.

The huge coal breaker at Plymouth,
Pa, known as Nottingham No. 49,"
is the largest in the world. It's capac-

to carry an equivalent of seven tons of
finished coal each. Not more than 200
feet from the breaker is shaft $50
feet deep from which one of these
cars arrives with coal from the mines
every 20 seconds.
Here, as everywhere else, mechan-

labor. In the old-style breaker at

employed, but in this breaker a spiral
