FICkleQ steel.

90 keep the iron and steel used in
bur ling big ships from rusting," said
an engineer, us a matter of supreme
tmporGa e. The admiralty Is very
particular that every piece shall be
tinted the moment 1t Is ready for
, aiding purposes. But the steel plates
form a hard black surface, called mill
scale,' in the process of manufacture.
This clings tenaciously to the plate,
and If it is covered with paint and
afterward the plate gets damaged
then the scale peels off, taking the
paint with it, and leaving the steel
bare. The plate is then liable to rust
corrosion, a serious danger to the ship.
1--WE therefore remove every trace Of
scale before painting the steel plate.
1t is put into a bath of dilute hydro
chloric acid for q few hours, which
loosens the scale. The plate is then
brushed with wire brushes and wash
ed with a hose. This is what we call
picking steel London Answers.

The Antiquity of Man.

1t has been known during a long
time that in western Europe mar ex-
listed during the glacial epoch. We
now know that the great ice age con-
sisted of different glacial times sepa-
rated by interglacial times. In glacial
times the snow line dropped 5000 or
1000 feet below its present level in
the Alps, whereas in interglacial times
1t lay about 1000 feet higher than at
present. Thus the temperature seems
to have been higher In the interglacial
periods than it Is now. There is abun-
dant evidence, In the opinion of Penck,
that nan existed during the beginning
Of the last glacial epoch. There Is
some reason for thinking that at least

The Louvre dates away back to the
reign of Dagobert In 62s. In 1904 it
was a prison and in 1864 was made
into a library. The new building was
begun by Francis I. in 1923 and en-
larged and adorned by successive
kings, principally by Louis XIV. But
1t was Napoleon l. who gave the
Louvre Its real glory. Turning it into
a museum, Napoleon deposited in it
the finest collection of paintings, stat

the new Louvre were begun by Napo-

WOULD HAVE CITY LAY

South Amboy, July 2O:-As the
matter OF paving Broadway has as
sumed such a shape that 1t is likely
to be commenced in the near future,
and as there is much complaint of
the scarcity of work in the city,
would 1t not be a good plan for the
city to do this work and not have it
done by contract? We would sug-
gest that our authorities employ a
good reliable man who is familiar
with this work and have him to en-
ploy men living in the town to do the
work and by actual experiment test
whether this would be more salts
factory than contracting, as so far
contracting has not apparently been

BEE STING FOR RHEUMATISM
Hoosier Farmland Sufferer Tries He.
roic Treatment and Says
It's Great.

Owensville, Ind.-That bee stings
have healing and curative qualities is
vouched for by James Cross, a farm
hand who suffered with rheumatism
i'm the toes of one foot. He was told
that a bees javelin would chase
away the rheumatic pains and he tried
It. He captured twenty-five bees, put
them in a tight paper box, cut an
inch slit i'm one end, through which he
poked his toes, and waited patiently
for something TO happen.
When the imprisoned and thorough.
ly angered bees SAW five human toes
in front Of them something happened
very quickly. Stingers dashed at the
toes in great haste. Cross made ugly
faces and writhed but stayed with the
game. At the end of two minutes the
bee battery had exhausted its ammuni
tion, but when Cross attempted to pull
his toes out of the box he found they
had swollen to three times their nat
ural size.
The slit in the box was far too small
and he was forced TO cut the box to
pieces before he could release himself
Did the remedy cure the rheuma
tism?" he was asked.

GOWNS FOR DOG DAYS
STYLISH MODEL FOR GIRL WHO
is OWN DREssMAKER.
Simple, Cool Afternoon Frock That
Launders Well and Costs Little
Money Is Most Needed
During Hot Spell.

II is astonishing how many girls
make their own frocks nowadays and
what taste and good sense they put
into the buying Of the materials. The
primary reason for the industry, OF
course, is that so many changes are
needed for a smart appearance. and
where money is not plentiful there is
nothing TO do but to acquire the gentle
art of the needle. AS TO the discre-
ton displayed with the purchasing,
1t must be due TO the fact that so
many mothers give a dress allowance
and wisely stop with the sum agreed
upon, no matter how many other
things are wanted. In this way the
girl learns how to make the dress
the experience gained thereby is GER
tain to benefit her all her life.
The dress most needed at this dog
day time Is the simple, cool afternoon
frock that launders well, that costs
little money and yet, somehow, pre-
sents an appearance dainty enough
for all the little social occasions that
come up. This simple and girlish
gown can be turned out for 50, and II
the material is carefully chosen and
the work we'll done, 1t will have a
stamp OF real distinction. Ramie lin

the plain skirt is far more practical
for laundering purposes. Large pearl
buttons are still the chief form OF
decoration, though a six.inch fold OF
the same material stitched few
inches above the hem of the skirt may
give a little variety when one is plan
ming a number of skirts.
Another model that is attractive is
a nine-gore skirt, whose every gore
had an inch and a half tuck stitched
down to the bottom of the skirt. This
gave no extra flare, but gave stability
TO material that is light in weight.
The girl who has enough skirts and
dainty blouses has a fine foundation
for her summer wardrobe.

conservative estimate. In view Of the
fact that several million barrels
flowed into the Buepa Vista river and
thence to the TuXpam river and out
to sea, going TO waste in this manner,
an accurate estimate of the total out

big estimate is not far wrong is shown
by the fact that approximately 5000,
600 barrels of oil from this we'll have
been saved and are now in storage,

men are kept constantly at work con.

the unremitting flow.
The market value OF the crude oil
at the we'll is 81 Mexican money or 80
cents gold per barrel. The value of
the daily output is therefore more
than 100000 gold or nearly S2,000,0O0

of flow it is found impossible to save
all of the oil, and many thousands of
dollars worth of it goes TO waste each
