handling damp bricks, for working
with plaster or cement, parafin mitts
are far superior to the original. Wom-

bling floors, setting out plants and SO
forth. Leather gloves, for use by
farmers in hauling damp corn fodder,
or any material that is wet, may be
waterproofed in the same way. The
coating of paraffin may be renewed as
often as the surface needs it. Mitts
and gloves-even boots of ditchers-
treated with paraffin last longer, be-
cause the water can do them little
damage. The comfort the wearer ex-
periences by using waterproof mitts
or gloves, says the Scientific Ameri-
can, far outweighs the bother of melt

Some fowls are weak because born
that way. They inherited their weak
ness from the lack of materials or of
vitality in the egg. Such birds will
require a good deal Of doctoring if
they are to be kept alive and are the
ones on which the most attention has
TO be bestowed. In any flock there is
a certain per cent. Of this kind of
birds, and it does not pay TO bother
much with them. They are good
enough for eating and should be fat
tened and disposed of. A weak fowl
probably cannot be made strong by
any method of feeding, as they seem
to be weak in that thing We call the
life principle, vitality.

EARTH QUAKEs; NOT HERE.
Disturbance, However, Was Only
$500 Miles Away.

An earthquake that lasted an hour. and
of considerable intensity was recorded on
the weather bureau seismographs here
early today. The origin. according to a
statement of Chief Willis l.. Moore OF the
bureau. is approximately 900 miles from
Washington. but while it is pointed out
that Central America or the Pacific ocean
west of Central America fall within this
distance and might possibly be the loca-
ton of the disturbance, no definite state
ment to this effect could be made.
The quake began at 3:39:52 o'clock this
morning, 10Th meridian time, and the
strongest motion. which set in at Boo,
lasted for about ten minutes. The first
preliminary tremors which were very
sharply defined, occupied six minutes and
forty seconds.
