NOT HARD TO CLEAN SWEATER
paIntIest Of Creamy White ones May
Be Renovated In the Fol-
lowing Manner.

A sweater is one of the necessities
of the wardrobe. No other wrap can
take its place. The dainty woman al
ways prefers the creamy white ones,
but often hesitates to buy because Of
the seeming difficulty of cleaning
them. The following method simpli-
fies that process. so that no one need
hesitate to buy one on that account.
Woollen blankets may be cleaned in
the same manner
A quarter of bar of good white
soap is melted over the stove. To
this Is added about half cup of am
monia. Enough hot water is run into
the pan or tub to cover the sweater.
The soap and ammonia are stirred
in, and then the sweater is placed in.
With a stick on the top Of wash
board this Is stirred and turned until
the dirt is out. Rinse in several wa
tiers. then lay on slanting board to
drain, but no not squeeze dry.
There are several methods of dry
ing. One is to fasten sheet fiat
over several clothes lines and spread
the sweater on that In the sun.

glue. Dissolve the glue by soaking
several hours in cold water, then
place in double boiler and heat slowly.

Modern Science Asserts the Sound u
Caused BY . series Of
ExploeIone.

There have been a great many diff
ferent theories about the cause OF
the noise we call thunder. Some
savage nations think it is caused by
the clouds knocking together in a
storm and making a spark, like two
pieces of flint, with a cracking
sound at the same time. Not long
ago, when electricity first began to
be understood, many persons be-
lieved that the lightning made
hole in the air as it passed along
and that the rush Of air to fill up
this vacuum caused the noise, just
as it is caused by the air rushing
back into the vacuum in big can
non.
The more modern theory, based
on some remarkable experiments
with very fluffy cotton that was
made damp, is that the intense heat
of the electrical discharge instantly
turns the surrounding vapor of the
clouds into steam and causes an ex-
plosion as sudden and fierce as gum
powder. 1t is the number and di-
versity of these explosions that
makes the cracking sound we hear
when the thunder is close to us,
which would not be the case if the
cause were the air rushing into a
single vacuum, as that would make
only one big bang, just like a can
non.

oSTRIcHES DRIVEN IN FLOCK
Australian Farmer Had Little Diff
Guilty In Transferring Birds Con-
siderable Distance.

A recent demonstration has prov
en- that ostriches may be driven
from place to place as successfully as
sheep, cattle or horses. The expert
ment was made by a New South
Wales ostrich farmer, who desired to
transfer his fine flock of 20 ostriches
from his farm at Temora TO an irri-
CATION area ne had secured under
the state at Yanco-a distance of IS
miles. The birds had to be driven
a considerable portion of the dis
lance, to be trucked by train for
the remainder of the journey. The
result of the experiment which was
conducted by careful, experienced
drovers, showed that the ostriches
proved easier to handle, if anything,
than sheep, the method adopted be-
ing to push them from behind. Many
people imagine that an ostrich will
kick if interfered with, and that
consequently it is dangerous to get
behind one, but though they do
kick, they kick forward, like a COW.
They can be pushed from behind
with perfect safety. The birds were
considerably alarmed by barking
dogs enroute, and horses were equal
ly frightened of them, but there was
no mishap.
