ELECTRICITY IN THE KITCHEN
Turn Polished. Copper Switch
Conveniently Placed.

When the gas range made its inl-
ial bow to the domestic world house
wives felt that the problem of COM
.ortable cooking in the warm season
mad been solved in manner that far
surpassed their rosiest dreams. To-
day the progressive woman has only
to turn polished copper switches con-
veniently placed about the house and
she can sit and dream before the
glow of an electric heater, run her
sewing machine without any physical
effort, do all manner of cooking and
clean her house and everything in it
by attaching her vacuum cleaner to
ali electric fixture.
For the kitchen there are electric
ranges completely equipped in every
detail, and with them is included a
number of cooking utensils For ba-
king an electrically heated oven far
surpasses any other. The heat is
regulated in the most even manner. as
results prove. Two great features of
this range is that it is absolutely
cleanly and occupies a minimum
amount of space.
There are chatting dishes in various
sizes for preparing dishes at the table,
waffle irons that turn out the most de-
licious. crisp, golden brown waffies;
toasting stand for the breakfast table
that toast slice of bread perfectly
in a minue, coffee perculators, corn
roasters, tea kettles, aluminium grid
dies that are clean and smokeless, wa
ter heaters and any number of other
things.
Electrically heated irons are time
and labor savers, for they can be reg
lated to any degree Of heat by a turn
of the hand and save endless steps
from the range TO the ironing board
with heavy irons that are either too
hot or too cold
Washing machines run by cleo

and save wear and tear on the clothes
Portable vacuum cleaners exempt the

They are easily moved from room to
room, consume dust and dirt AMI are
in wide range of sizes and prices are
just the thing for taking the chill off
the dining room on cool morning
after the heat is turned off froIa the
house, and tempering the bathroom
and other apartments in short time.
For use in the sick room there are
foot warmers with cozy soft covers
that slip on and off in a second and
heating pads for the invalid or con-
valescent.

noiselessly, and saves woman from
the fatigue that is the result of hours
spent at the sewing machine.

LIFT OF STORAGE BATTERY
Dry Devices Have Many Uses Where
Relation of Weight to Normal
Output is important.

Storage batteries have many uses
where the relation of their weight to
their normal output in electrical en-
ergy is quite important, says Popu-
lar Mechanics. For instance, any We
hicles propelled by storage batteries
must carry the dead weight of these
batteries, and the less this weight is
in proportion to their output, the less
energy will be spent in moving the
batteries themselves. The last two
decades have shown decided decreases
in the weights of such batteries. but

THE LIONS ROAR.


Just why the lion should be called
the king of beasts few have ever
stopped to inquire. His habits, says
A. Radcliffe Dugmore, writing in Ev-
erybody's Magazine, are not kingly.
He is a shameless scavenger. He may
be a cannibal. There is a story of a
contest between lion and a lioness
over a carcass which ended in the male
killing and then devouring his mate.
In days before the advent of modern
high-power arms the lion may have
stood as a symbol of fearlessness and
daring, but time has changed all that.
He 10 now neither so fierce nor yet SO
formidable as he is painted. The chase
Of the lion is becoming less and less
dangerous. Not a lion has done it's
duty" said Mr.. Roosevelt, emerging
from the East African jungles.
Besides, opinion of any brute's ma
ture seems to depend largely on the
experience or the observer. If the
hunter CHANGED to have a close call
with a lion, he assumes the lion to be
the most dangerous of beasts. In AT
RIGA, many hold the wild buffalo 20 be
one pertinent reason. Or some fell

and nearly lost his life; therefore he

dangerous of all animals. Personally,

But once in the lion country, you

the king or beasts. He looks it. Be

all the brute creation about him. And
as for terror, there is one feature OF
life in East Africa that the traveller
never forgets-the lions roaring.
To me, no other sound in nature ID
more awe-inspiring, more appalling, es
pecially If heard at really close range
| or among hills, where the echo re-
sounds in its rolling double bass.
Contrary to the common idea, lions

to the night only; frequently in the
open daylight one may be startled by
a sudden outburst. They are a noisy
lot, too. At night have heard band
keep up the dire chorus for hours al
a time. a blood-curdling concert that
brings to mind every tale, fanciful OF
true, of their daring, of their fierce
rapacity and might. 1t seems, still
further, to have an added dreadfulness
when one is lying within the frail
walls of a tent, with only its canvas
between one and the formidable mu
stefan.
