Odd Resembisnces.

Every boy--and every girl, too. for

that cocoanut bears to a monkeys

of the human ear. The shape Of

the human heart in eggplant and Ger

on patterns furnished by nature. The

HONOR FOR AMERICAN FLAG
Pretty Custom Adopted at Certain

When the American flag is flying in

pretty custom, that sends a thrill of
silent applause through passersby,
grew out Of the following incident

young and needless student threw a
stone through the waving stars and
stripes. His companions started an
outburst of approving laughter which
was suddenly husbed by the grave as

HOT AIR INSTEAD Of STOVE
Use OF Superheated Air for Cooking
by Foreign Cooks Is Attracting
Much Attention.

Hot air. is to be turned to good
end, according to the foreign cooks,
and at the same time a great waste
in fuel in the preparation of meals ia
to be eliminated. The use of super.
heated air for cooking purposes is at.
tracing considerable attention from
the domestic economists. The proc.
ess is said to be done quite simple
as simple as the 'fireless cooker" in
fact The steam from an ordinary
kitchen boiler is conveyed by pipes to
the "superheater," where, by means of
a series of coils above a coke fire.
its temperature is raised to 1000 de-
grees. The pressure Is not increased
which eliminates danger of bursting
the pipes. Hollow rods surround and
lie underneath the boiler, and through
these rods the superheated air is per.
mitted to rush, quickly making the
griller as hot as desired
The enthusiast predicts an early
departure of the blazing coal. coke. or
gas FIRE in the kitchen. When any
special dish Is to be cooked 1t Is to
be placed on a certain part Of the grill
er, fed by a certain pipe from the
superheated air reservoir. A valve
is turned to let just the proper amount
of heat under the griller. and the WORK
is done without the fumes, without
the waste of any heat, and without the
loss Of any good nature. The air
after being used to broil your beef
steak, can be turned into the heating
radiators and used to keep the dining
room warm.
