Thinners are liquids to mix with

the purpose OF reducing the quantity
of oil and thereby spreading the oil
film while still carrying the desired
amount of pigment, and. to make
the paint work easier. They also
hasten drying because they spread
the oil film. 1t is easy to see that
a thin layer Of oil will be more eX-
posed and therefore dry quicker than
a thick layer. The essential qualit-

thicker the film of oil the better,
therefore the less thinner we use

is the paint and as soon as erosion

the particles of pigment which were
enmeshed in it, have nothing TO re

For outside work therefore we
must carry our pigment with oil and

Market Letter.

Kansas City, October q, 1910 -
Cattle receipts here last week were
$4,000 head, a reduction of fifteen
thousand from the run the previous
week. The market suffered from
an excessive supply at Chicago last
week, and steers declined 10 to 25c
during the week. Cows, heifers and
bulls sold strong, and closed the
week 10 to 20 higher, calves a quar-
ter higher, stockers and feeders
firm. A good many short fed cat
tie came in not properly matured,
and sold disappointingly. With plen-
ty of feed in the country, the trad
ers think it is a needless sacrifice to
send in cattle that are too poor to
kill and not attractive as feeders.
Top steers sold last week at $3.50
and this figure was reached today.
The eight dollar steers disappeared
entirely, not even in Chicago could
this price be reached last week, best
$3.50. A year ago top steers were
selling around nine dollars and the
market was going up. Prime cattle
usually advance in November, previ-
Gus to the holidays, and they may
do so this year. The run today is
22 1000 head, equal to a week ago, and
the market is strong to 10 higher.
Cooler weather lately has put a
better edge on the market, and an
other thing, buyers are afraid re-
ceipts will drop down sharply in the
near future. Run of rangers at the
Northern market fell off % per cent
last week, and this week will almost
clean up the pansas pasture. -.
Yearlings reached 1925, fed steers
$5.75 to 1925, grass steers $3.50 to
sc 500, COWS up to $4.75 feeders $500
to $500.
For a change the hog market made
a gain of nine cents on IN average
for the week, last week. The run
go,
continues infinitesimal, only $4,000
head last week, less than half the
run same week a year ago. Supply
is $500 here today, market strong to
10 higher on most sales, after an at
tempt of the packers to get them at
lower prices, Buyers have been
trying to pound heavies lately, try
ing to discourage owners in the
popular disposition to make big hogs,
and boosting lights, in an effort to
entice more of this kind to market.
A year ago light hogs were about a
quarter under the heavy weights, ex-
actly the reverse of present condi-
tons. Packers have appeared indif-
ferent for two or three days, but sud
denly remembered today that they
needed some hogs. Heavy weights
$50 to $500, medium $500, lights.

blouse of a Thousand Candles.

People who are interested in arts
and crafts will be delighted with
the beautiful candle-sticks and candle
bras used in the production of THE
House of a Thousand Candles the
original Chicago and New York pro
duction which will be seen at the
Ceiling on Wednesday, November 2.
The management have had collectors
all over Europe and America securing
peculiar pieces of this craft and many
of the designs are extremely unique,
while several are very valuable as
having been used in the households OF
famous personages of long ago.
So valuable is this set of proper
ties that Mr.. Gaskill has had a spec
ial safe made to hold them. 1t is
the intention of Mr.. Gaskell to ulti-
mately present the collection to the
Field Museum of Chicago as it is
probably one of the most unique col
lections of this type V gathered.

two. They still remain oil and tur-
pentine but they are very intimately
combined. The solution is clear and
remains clear. 1t is thinner than
oil and thicker than turpentine. 1t
is a perfect solution the one in the
other.
Too much thinner on an outside
job is worse than too little on an in
side job. Painters say sometimes
of white lead that it gets ''chalky.'
1t is o the fault of the lead, it is
the fault of the painter. The trouble
is too much thinner. Suppose an eX-
cess of thinner in a paint loaded
with pigment to make il cover well,
spread out on Il board. 1t looks
all right because the oil shows on
the surface but after the thinner has
evaporated it leaves an excess of
pigment in proportion to the oil.
Just as soon as erosion begins this
excess of pigment particles are az
posed and they can be wiped off
With the finger. OF course all old
jobs are likely to chalk but if Il
recent job chalks it means that the
painter has put too much thinner in
his paint in order TO "stretch' it or
to make 1t work faster.
The best thinner is %turpentine.
Put a drop of %turpentine on a piece
of glass and allow it to evaporate.
1t leaves behind only a ~perceptible
hazyness to obscure the glass. 1t
evaporates with reasonable rapidity
and it carries pigment well. Paint
that is heavy with a pigment will
still work fairly Well if it be half or
two thirds turpentine. 1t has no bad
effect on the paint and does not
change colors.
There is a substitute for tur--
pentine on the market. have never
seen it. 1t is quite likely a gasoline
preparation at nearly turpentine price
| should think it a good thing to let
T. alone.
The old coal tar b%enzine, or more
properly, benzole, if we could get it,
would rank next to turpentine. 1t
did not carry pigment as well as tur-
pentine but was a closee second. 1t
is not on the market. At least it is
not obtainable in a small way. Per-
haps large paint makers can get it
but l doubt it. Benzine appears upon
some paint formula but | am sure it
is petroleum benzine.
Petroleum Benzine is the chemi-
cal name for high test gasoline but
ordinary gasoline is what is usual
ly meant. In the list of thinners it
would rank third. 1t is cheap and
where cheapness is desired it isn't
a bad article to use. 1t fulfills all

amount used in paint is not large
they have no great effect Oh the quail
ity of the paint. They can be used
wherever quick drying is important
but it is better not to use drier lib
orally on outside work.
