Cause Of "keei Water"

The track Of smooth water. or
keel water" stretching in the wake
OF n moving vessel is often noticed. but
little understood. The effect is not
due to the influence Of oil on surface
tension, though the stilling OF the
waves may be similar. Prof. Asl.
horn. a German Investigator. has made
some experiments with bodies moving
on the water. and these show that the
gyroscopic action Of the eddies or
whirls left behind on each side of the
vessel smooth out the smaller waves
and give the calm. disappearing track
that is SO familiar. The larger and
swifter the ship the longer and broad.
er is the smooth wake.

SCISSORS WITH A SAW-T00TH

Il from Slipping Toward End
Of the Shears.

A very handy tool can be made from
an old pair OF scissors or shears. as
shown in the accompanying sketch.
One blade Is cut with set OF saw
teeth inclined toward the handle.
These teeth hold the material fast.
and prevent It slipping toward the
point Of the shears. Rubber sheetlng.
strips, and all kinds OF soft packing
can be easily cut with square or in
ciined ends. It matters not in what
,axosition the scissors are held; they
fIin cut without slipping. In using
THESE scissors for rubber and other
slippery goods. the saw-toothed blade
should be on the bottom to obtain the
best results. Heavy rubber and pack
ing can be cut with less effort, rs 1t
Is not necessary to hold the scissors
against the goods to prevent slipping.

HOW TO REINFORCE STOCKING

Article for Small Boys.

A stocking that fills a long-felt want
among small boys, scrub women and
other persons who spend a great deal
of time on their knees is that designed
by Mississippi woman. This stock
ing is made with a transversely ribbed
gore ON the knee that will stand many
times the amount of wear and tear
that the knee of an ordinary stocking
will. Above the calf the stocking is
ribbed longitudinally. while the gore
section is ribbed crosswise and is
made Of heavier material, more close

through an ordinary stocking the first
time he puts it on can crawl around
and climb trees in this kind for many
day before the knee gives way. Even
then new piece can be set in. which

ward step is recorded in the matter
of exchanging mail sacks by moving
trains. Under this system only one

cial history that not infrequently, in
stead of catching the suspended sack
of mail, the hook, operated by a mail
clerk standing in the open door of the
car, would snatch up a chicken coop
or something else not to be found in
any classification of mail matter
The delivery of mail from moving
trains is still more primitive, consist
ing merely of having the clerk hurl or
push the sacks out of the car as the
train rushes past the platform. Great
numbers of persons have been injured
and some killed by being struck by
the whirling and rebounding sacks.
thrown with the force of catapult.
In a number of instances the bags
of mail have rolled under the wheels
of the train and have caused wrecks
or have been ground to pieces and the
mail destroyed. And these defects do
not take into consideration the tremen-
dour wear and tear on the mail bags
and pouches, one of the largest items
of expense to the railway mail service
The new device has passed through
a successful test of six months at
Burnside station, and this decided the
government to give the more extended
trial.

Making Ice Water From the Sunshine

In northern Mexico ola making is a
very profitable industry to the in
habitants, who carry them over into
Arizona on the backs of burros.
The ola is made from a crude clay
ish mortar. In drying the compost
ton becomes very porous, and it is
this essential characteristic which con-
talns the secret of the cooling process.
1t is filled with water and hung up,
preferably in some place which is ex-
posed to the wind if there be any.
The moisture seeps through the por-
GUS composition. The process is very
slow, and the moisture which exudes
evaporates into the receptive, dry at
mosphere in such equable proportion
that scarcely more than a drop a min
ute trickles away from the bottom of
the ola.
1t is this continuous and fairly rapid
evaporation which produces the cold.
Immediately the sides of the ola be-
come chilled, and the water within
grows gradually cooler. In less than
an hour from the time the phenomena
is begun the water is cold enough for
drinking purposes, no matter how
warm it might have been when pour
ed into the receptacle Two or three
hours later it is cold enough to fill the
ordinary requirements of refrigeration
for bottled milk, butter and other
culinary necessities
