Glue Pot Heated by Electricity.


The value of electricity for heating
purposes, says the Scientific Ameri-
can, is illustrated in a new electric
glue pot, which has recently been
placed on the market. The economy
of the device lies in the fact that the
maximum amount of heat may be APP
piled instantly when needed, while
the glue may be kept warm at all
times by reduced flow Of current
through the heating coils. The glue
pot consists of a cup in which is set
a casting filed with water. The cleo
trio heater is attached to the pot i'm
mediately below the water. A hot
water receptacle is provided in which
the brushes may be kept.

A MIslald Colony.

The government of France has mis-

Mexico has found IT.
It is Clipperton island. little Isle
in the Pacific ocean. ten degrees north
and 10s degrees longitude west. 1t is
one Of large group of islands which
is visited periodically by a French
wsrship.
Some time ago, when the warship
visited the island, the French sailors
found soldiers there in Mexican uni
form, and the Mexican flag floating
serenely over the island.
The island is directly east Of the
mouth Of the Panama canal, which
gives It certain amount of impor-
tance.
The matter has been placed in the
hands Of the French foreign Office, and
"commuuications are pending" The
warship discovered that the French
government had mislaid the island two

WOULD HAVE READERS PAUSE
Frenchman Has Idea That More
Punctuation Marks Gould Be
Employed with Profit.


While some language masters are
discussing the propriety Of abolish
ing several Of our punctuation marks
and in direct opposition to the prac-
tice OF Omitting these characters en-
tirelv in print, SAYS the Temps. Prof.
Leon Ricquier of the Ecole Nornale
de la Seine, saws that it is high time
that a new punctuation mark be
added to those now in use. He saws,
further, that he has given the mat
ter years of consideration and study,
and has come to the conclusion that
an inverted comma terminating in
"a fat dot" should be used. The
professor adds that we read too much
and too rapidly. The mind has no
time, he says, ITO pause and digest
what has been read, and tins is due
TO the fact that the punctuation is
imperfect" The reformer intended
at first to introduce long and ~em-
platte hyphcn, but thought that
the size might be considered
"brutal' . Prof. Ricquiers punclua-
ton scheme has been placed for con-
sideration in the hands of the
Academy of Sciences.

The Best Food for Workers.

The hest food for those who work
with hand or brain is never high
priced.
The best example of this is found in
Quaker Oats. 1t stands at the top
among foods that supply nourishment
and vigor, without taxing the diges-
ton, and yet it is the least expensive
food one can eat.
This great food value and low cost
make it an ideal food for families who
want to get the greatest good from
what they eat.
Laborers, factory or farm hands, fed
plentifully ON Quaker Oats will work
better and with less fatigue than If
fed on almost any other kind of food.
All of these facts were proved and
very interesting information about
human foods were gathered by Pro-
fessor Fisher of Yale University in
1908. In addition to the regular pack
age Quaker Oats is packed in large
sized family packages either with or
without china dishes. 8
