LADY PASSENGERS LOI
She Wanted to Be sure Just What
the Wind Should Be
Called.

It was blowing rather hard, and
there was a nasty sea on an hour and
a half before the first breakfast bugle.
An officer of the ocean liner hurried
along the passage between the state
rooms, and a timid voice called 20
him:
"Oh, Mr.. Officer. please stop"
He turned and saw a dear old lady
with a wrapper thrown around her,
peeping through her half-open door.
Yes, madam" said the officer.
"Mr. Officer, please; would you call
this a gaIe?" asked the old lady, anx-
iously.
oh! no, madam. There's not the
least danger. I assure"
Well, is it half a gale?"
Not even half a gale, and this is
such an excellent sea boat that you
needn't worry a bit" explained the
officer.
Well, what would you call 1t,
please?" said the lady, steadying her
self as the vessel rolled.
Just fresh nor'west breeze,
madam, with cross sea running. But.

Polishing by Hot Air.

The marYels Of friction are infinite
The use of the sand blast for polish
ing metals is quite a recent invention,
and now it is followed by that of a
blast Of simple hot air. 1t is the We
lOcity that gives the polishing power
The articles to be treated are placed
in a basket in centrifugal machine
driven at very high speed and heat
ed air Is blown from a pipe through
the basket. A high polish is thus pro-
duced very rapidly.
Nickel plated articles that have be-
come tarnished are made bright in a
few minutes. Wet metal fresh from
the bath needs no preliminary drying,
for the current Of air dries and pol
ishes at the same moment. It is only
necessary to so pack the articles that

Every one has heard the story Of
the Englishman who was told, when

perfuous fruit grown in California

we can't we can"
The joke was told to another Eng

home gave his own version of it.
Queer people, those Americans"
he said. Peculiar sense of humor.

This years budget, by presenting a va
