Usinq Life Preserver.

''The worst trouble about a life pre- server" said an old sailor "is that few people know what to dc with one when it's thrown to them. Many a man would drown in trying to get n life preserver over his head. The av- craze person struggling about in the water would try te lift up the big life ring and put t over his head. That only causes the man to sink deeper and take more water into his lungs.
 The proper way to approach life preserver in the water is to take hold of the side nearest you and press upon 1t with all your weight That causes the farther side to fly up in the air and down over your head. ringing you as neatly as man ring ing cane at a country fair. After that the drowning man can be res cued ds-CleveIand Plain Dealer.

MAKING VINEGAR.

As often as the apple harvest comes round recurs the question of conyer- sien If the unstable cull stock into vinegar. After the juice of the apples has been squeezed out the barrels in which the first fermentation Is to take place should be filled about two thirds full aud the hunsh hels filled with eloth plug to keep dut dirt and flies.
 wbep the working" has ceased the dear portion of the liquid should be ponred out and strained. if necessary. the barrels carefully rinsed out and the contents replaced. together with cou- ple of gallons of old vinegar with some mother ill each barrel, If few cakes of commercial yeast are added the
 rocess will be hastened. while If the original apple juice lacked in sweet
 ness few pounds of coffee \ sugar will help matters along When the second step in the process is complet- ed-the conversion of the alcohol into vinegar which sometimes takes place in six months and sometimes requires couple of years. the barrels should be filed full and plugged tightly to pre- vent further chemical changes. Cider changes to vinegar most rapidly ana with hest results under temperature l of about 60 or 70 degrees F.

Coamic Duct.

A particle of dust one hundred thou santh Of an inch In diameter Is held In its place iu space by the force of gravitation, hue . particle smaller than this is pushed outward into space by tbe weight of the sun's light be- cause as the particle becomes smaller ltp surface. which is subject to pres sure. becomes greater in proportion to It's weight
 The suns corona. the xcdiacal light. the aurora borealis and the comets tall are all composed of these Infinitely minute particles. In some cases white hot and in others merely illuminated by the sun. which are being constantly driven away from the sun by the pres sure Of It's light
 In the case of the aurora boreslis there Is a movement of the light both away from and toward the sun. This is explained by the theory that the weight of the suns light presses the particles outward Into space for cer- tain distance and that then certain number of them eohere together until they have sufficient weight te be at tracted toward the sun once more by the force of grayitation.

rss euNNIsoN TUNNEL.

The first as we'll as the most remark .hsr of the great irrigation projects .naertaken by the United States rec smstion service under terms of the esey irrigation act Is the Gunnison unuel which carries the turbulent vs,ers of the lower Gunnison river by i. hors II by l3 feet through six miles .s solid mountains. The work was rarted several years ago. following , survey of the river by . courageous engineer who made the trip down the neing stream on a rubber raft But many months preceding were con- mmed In building q wagon road oo which necessary machinery and implies could be transported to the seene of the work. In constructing the tunnel through the mountains a variety of rock and earth formations vas encountered. besides natural gas, hot mineral waters and underground hikes. The tunnel is lined throughout with cement and is practically inde- structible. The main canal, which re- ceires the water from the tunnel. is thirty feet wide at the bottom. eighty three feet wide at the top. and the average depth of water is ten feet, the capacity being 1900 cubic feet of water per second. The tunnel was formally opened Sept g at Montrose, Colo. on the occasion of President Tafts visit The cost of the tunnel and distributing canals will be S50o0.- eo. The government will be reim- bursed by the sale of perpetual water rights to actual settlers at about S35 per acre. ten years time being allowed for payment without interest. The system will redeem and give a value of from S75 to $500 per acre to 15oo0o seres of land that without water would not be worth S10 an acre. The land is maryelously fertile and with the water which the system will pro- vide will blossom like a garden.
