FRIDAY EVENING, SEPT. %
iunnia Housakeenina.

] The negro housewife In the West
Indian jungle finds housekeeping very
easy. Fruit and vegetables grow wild
all about the hut and the river abounds
with fish. On wash duy all she has to
do is to pick q few Of the berries of
the soap berry tree. take her clothes
to the river and use the berries as she
would use ordinary soap. Even her
cooking pots grow Oh the trees, the
.caiabash cut in halves being used for
this purpose. Calabashes are used
also for bowls. basins and jugs for
carrying water from the river while
the small ones make excellent cups.
In the afternoon, when she is ready
for her cup Of tea, the negress picks
half dozen leaves from the lime bush
growing at her door. boils them,
>squeezes the juice from a sugar cane
for sweetening and the cocoanut sup
plies the milk. Thus she has q dell
cious cup of tea without depending on
the grocer for it. She makes the mats
for her floor out Of the dried leaves of
the banana. plated and sewed togeth-
er as the old country people in this
country make their rag mats.

Many Uses Of Sand.

The sands Of the sea are singularly
useful. They are Of primary impor-
lance in glassmaking. They have an
important place in warfare, as q bank
Of sand twenty inches thick is proof
against modern rifle shots. The cleo
trical properties Of sand show that 1t
has positive electricity, although rod
of silica, the chief constituent of sand,
is negative.
The singular drying effect which &C.
ours when stretch Of wet sand is
pressed by the foot is due entirely to
an alteration in the piling of the sand
grains. Normally the grains are close
together, but abnormal piling Is
brought about by pressure Of the foot,
the space between the edges of the
grains being enlarged and the water
drained away. If the pressure of the
foot is continued the sand becomes
wetter than ever, the partial vacuum
quickly bringing water from the sur
rounding sand.
In quicksand the moving character
is thought to be due to thsv imprison-
ment between the grains Of Gases from
organic matter.-Chicago Tribune.
