New Idea in Teapots,

A strainer occupies one.half Of the
upper part OF new teapot and in
this is placed the tea leaves. The pot
is then set In rs vertical position
and the boiling water is poured in
until the lower part is filled almost
TO the height of the bottom OF the
strainer The pot Is then tipped
backward onto its back and I'm this
horizontal position the water floods
the strainer and is impregnated with
the tea. When the infusion is
thought to be sufficient. the pot is
again rlghted this action separating
the tea from the tea leaves.--Popular

Air Filter,

Prof. Charles Richet OF Paris has
devised a means for purifying the air
in rooms. His apparatus is an air
filter which mechanically sterilizes
air. Very fine drops of glycerine are
scattered along the walls OF n cylinder
containing a suction fsn. Each particle
OF air drawn in by the fan is freighted
with glycerine and hence tends to
drop, thereby carrying with 1t the
germs, dust and microbes with which
IL may be laden.

Police of the Ninth Precinct Looking
for the Culprit.

The police of the ninth precinct are en-
deavoring to- locate the person or per-

fire last night within half an hour The
first alarm was sounded at 12:15 o'cloe K

department responded, but upon reach
ing the scene discovered that it was a
false alarm.

northeast Another run was made by
the department only to find that there
was no fire.
The ringing of the fire bells in the
vicinity Of the home of the Lite Sis

aroused the inmates, and it was some
time before they could be assured that
there was no fire.
