The new synthetic rubber of Belgian
chemist, claimed to have TIE properties
OF Para rubber, depends chiefly upon the
conversion of peat into a glutinous hy-
drocarbon mass through a fermentation
process. Dried peat is placed in zinc
lined fermenting chamber, for each tone
is sprayed with about a ton of wire.
then with six fluid ounces of the fer
ment present in imperfecly-iormed
rubber, and finally with warm solu-
tion OF one pound of sugar in five gal
Ions OF water. after which the chamber
is closed and kept at comparatively
high temperature for three weeks. The
peat is then found to be covered with a
mouldy layer, beneath which is the hy-
drocarbon mass. This is collected,
placed in a cylinder containing water
with certain mineral salts and some of
the red heterogeneous substance extracted
from Congo red rubber, and the cylinder
is heated by passing steam through a
Jacket surrounding It. On cooling the
artificial rubber is found floating on the
liquid. 1t is purified in little alcohol,
and by covering with light petroleum
is so softened that it can be shaped and
moulded as desired.
A foundation OF wooden piles in
Ignite is the novel engineering feature
OF new stone arch bridge over the
Neisse river at Muskau, Prussia. Piles
of steel or concrete we're considered but
rejected on account OF the corrosive
action to which they would be exposed.
Driving wooden piles was difficult and
tended TO break up the Ignite bed, so
holes 10 or II inches in diameter we're
drilled to depth of about II feet, and
in them the piles were fixed by driving
a foot or two further-about the extreme
limit OF penetration.
Food adulteration in France-esti
mated to weld a yearly profit of $780,

Bread is much adulterated with indiges-
tible and Irritating tale; flour is mixed
with alum or potassium carbonate to in
crease the water abs rbed, with zinc
sulphate to keep the bread fresh, and
with copper sulphate and ammonium
carbonate to save yeast and make better
looking bread from spoiled flour. De-
natured alcohol, at an eighth of the cost
of pure alcohol, is used in making

is the only path to becoming.
Don't forget that happiness is
found where it is not sought.
Don't lie about your religion
and try to be honest in your
business.
Don't forget that the value of
of anything depends on it's mean
ing to you.
Don't try to make whipped
cream by lashing up a SKINNED
milk sermon.
Don't forget that the golden
rule means a cubic deal as well
as a square one.
Don't initiate the pity of those
who express it only when their
purse is left at home.
Don't initiate those who fear
they have no piety unless it is in

you work out of life for yourself.

Short Meter Sermons.

Judged by their prayers, some
are, trying hard to take the Lord
in.
No man ever got any impor-
tant place by teaching other peo-
pie their places.
If faces are tickets to heaven
it is going to take some saints a
long time to arrive.
Some never get over the won
der that folks so important as
themselves should go to church.
Have we any right to condemn
the vicious when we make the
conditions of virtue so hard?
When your religion is an UNI
brella laid up for a rainy day the
weather is apt to be deceitful.
The only reason some believe
they are saints is that their
neighbors wish they lived in
another world.
We are all likely to think that
kinship to the heavenly father
must be established by likeness
to ourselve.
Some men who talk a lot about
a taithless ministry would have
a fit if the preacher told the
truth about them.

Free Liver
Remedy

1t is well to stop a physical all
ment at the first signs of its approach,
and that is especially true of liver
trouble, which can eventually give
riseWo so many serious complications.
Many have liver trouble and imagine
it is Indigestion, and hence take the
wrong remedy.
When the liver does not store I'D suf-
ficient gastric juices it becomes sluggish,
and in this way disturbs the stomach and
bowels. with which it is supposed to work
In harmony. Then comes the sallow
complexion, the pimply face, the dull
pain in the forehead. the thinning of
the blood. etc. A very quick and sensible
way to stop the trouble as well as to
cure 1t is by the use of DR.. Caldwelrs
Syrup Pepsin, which contains ingredients
especially intended to promote the ac-
tivity OF the liver.
Among the many thousands who have
written the doctor about the results
achieved with his remedy. and who are
glad to make the facts public so that
others can help themselves, are Mr.. Jas.
Kennedy St. Louis. Mo-; Mrs S. A.
La Rue OF Smiths Grove. KY. and many
others.
These. like thousands of others, started

Pepsin is permanent in its results. IS

Value Of Orchard Heaters.

Kettles filled with crude pc
troleum to be burned when the
temperature drops, have proved
so successful that in some locali-
ties 80 per cent, of the or
chards in which they were used
were protected from frost.
A member of committee in
Colorado which experimental
with orchard heaters, in a letter
to the Department of Agricul-
ture, stated that the spring of
1909 was unusually severe, and
that but for the protection afford
ed by the orchard heaters there
would have been but little fruit
shipped from Colorado last year.
AS it was, however, there was a
banner crop, and he estimated
that the orchard heaters saved
about 81, 900, 900 to the fruit in
terests of the State.
In one big orchard where heat
ers were used, and where a Sec
ton Of a few acres was left I'M
protected, there was a crop of
1000 boxes gathered from the
protected area, but on the part
not protected there were 100 ten
year-old trees and from the whole
lot not a box of apples was gath
cred.
In the Pecos valley, in New
Mexico, there was one orchard,
where $500 oil heaters we're
used. The crop from this thirto-
acre tract was saved and sold for
$26, 900. while in the rest of the
valley the crop was almost a
total failure.
