Antiauity Of Petroleum..

Though it is only within recent times
that petroleum has become an article
of commerce, there is abundant proof
that it was used in the arts forty cen
turtles ago. The mortar used In con-
structing the walls of Nineveh and
Babylon had petroleum mixed with it
for the purpose of securing greater CO.
hesion and excluding dampness. Traces
of the bituminous matter are very dis
tinct in the ruins, and the existence OF
petroleum springs at Is, some l20
miles from old Babylon, indicates one
source of the supply. In the ancient
history of several eastern countries al
fusion is made in unmistakable terms
to the existence of petroleum springs

BLOWING BUBBLES.

Use Fapef lone ana Mane iHe"t
Five Feet In circumference.
Bubble blowing is an amusement
that all of us enjoyed in our early
days. 1t was diversion that was good
for both indoors and out of doors. but
there is more real enjoyment when you
make scientific preparation for the
blowing, for there is a science in blow
ing bubbles.
The best thing so far discovered for
the blowing is paper cornucopia, and
with it bubbles can be blown which
will measure three. four or even five
feet in circumference, provided the
right kind of solution is used. All
sorts of tricks can then be done, such
as displaying a bubble with bouquet
or spinning top inside of it. Some
persons have become so expert that
they can place three or four bubbles
inside one another, Frightening the eff
feet very much by filing the small
bubble in the center with tobacco
smoke. Blowing a pin wheel around
inside of a bubble always ELECTS a
great deal of applause from the on
lockers.
The solution that you use is, OF
course, very important. Ordinary wa
ter and soap do not possess the elastic
ity for making big bubbles. The best
solution found so far is made by fill
ing a quart bottle half full of distilled
or soft water. Sift into it four-ifths
of an ounce of CASTLE soap powder and
allow it to dissolve. Then add third
of a pint of pure glycerin. The bottle
of liquid should be placed in room
where the temperature is about 70 de-
grees. When blowing the bubbles the
room should have temperature OF
from 65 to 75 degrees. Pour some OF
the solution into vessel large enough
to admit the large end Of the cornuco-
pia and let it be free of froth or little
bubbles, as these are disastrous to
blowing large bubbles. Dip the wide
end of the horn into the liquid and
then turn it slowly at right angles
while you take it away. If there Is
film on the opening, you are ready to
blow; If not, dip again. Blow gently
through the small end, move the horn
quickly to one side, and it will be free
to float in the air. Some blowers be-
come so dexterous that they can pro
duce a large bubble filed with smoke
and then divide it into two bubbles
with a fan without letting the smoke
escape Great fun can be had by toss
ing the bubbles back and forth with
felt hats, as they do not burst them.
A bubble may be tossed back and forth
as many as 100 times if little care Is
taken.
1t is interesting to place some OF the
solution in frying pan, heat it lit
tie and then blow a bubble in the cen
ter of the pan. The bubble will not
burst, and In few minutes the liquid
within the bubble will begin to boil.
Dip the mouth of a goblet into the So
luton and then remove it with the
opening covered with film. On this
film blow a bubble with the cornuco-
pfa until a large one is balanced on
top of the glass; then carefully remove
the horn, and you will gain truly adj
mirable effect.-Pathfnder

the japanese as the "Mosinos" or ''all

Then we will be in better shape to
take care of our constantly growing
business and to work to much better
advantage. We have certainly had
a hard time of it during the past few
months, much of this extra work be-

of storing the cotton of the public.

the room for all the cotton offered
for storage from others parties. Let's

Letter to j. F.. Kilgus, Bamberg, S. c

Dear Sir: If you shodld bake
bread that people like better than
any other, and at less cost by the day,
you'd have a pretty-good business,
wouldn't you?
We have just such a business as
that in paint; a gallon goes further
than any other gallon of paint in the
country-that's bread at less cost by
the day; but the difference isn't so
small as it is in bread. And a job
wears longer-that's bread at less
cost by the year. People hate to
paint; it costs money to paint; and
they hate the fuss. They like our
bread by the year.
If your bread is better than any
body-else's, and costs less too, you've
got a good trade; for people do like
good bread; and people like money.
It doesn't take long to find-out; give
'em time.
But you can't make better-than-
any-body-else's bread for half the
usual price for breakfast can you?
Devoe is just such paint as that.
The price by the gallon or loaf is no
matter. Count by the day week
month year lifetime. Devoe is the
bread. We hope yours is as good.
Yours truly
