MARBLE LIGHTS ARE BEST
German Inventors Patent New System
Of Illumination That 10
Like Day.

Berlln.-Patents have Just been
taken out for using marble instead OF
glass in lamps, which has the effect OF
making the illumination scarcely dis
tinguishable from daylight.
Innumerable experiments have been
made with tinted and patterned types
Of glass with the idea Of producing
this effect, but all have been failures.
As a last resource q sheet Of white
marble was planed down until It was
semi-transparent and then different in.
tensities Of light were shown from be.
hind. The result was exactly what SO
many hundreds Of experiments had
failed to produce.
Developing this discovery, the pat
entees have fitted lights to the cornice
Of a room with such success that 1t is
difficult to convince anyone that It is
artifcially lighted.

There will be sixteen individual

will drink practically all the water in

arrives the cup will fill and overflow
This will carry of all the foam and

Fried Apple Sauce.

This dish is often called fat apple
sauce. A spicy, smooth and medium
sized apple is best. Do not pare, as
the skin is the best part Of real fried
apples. Quarter and CORE, after first
washing very clean. Fry out sufficient
clear fat pork to leave plenty Of fat
in the frying pan for cooking the ap
pies without danger Of burning on.
Lay the apples In skin side down and
when soft, turn and brown quickly
without burning.
Baldwin apples are the best Of the
common varieties, although on the old
farm we had one tree which we called
spice apples" for lack Of any known
name. They were almost a cinnamon
or spice flavor and were even better
than Baldwins for frying.

M. Lepine, the project of police, like
wise appointed a commission to study
other means Of defense and otfense in
coping with the new type Of modern
criminal. The commission has pro.
posed a sort Of shell, weighing about
a pound, which, by special appara.

makes effective fighting on their part
impossible. Experiments with the new
projectile were entirely successful,
and the deadly gas shell has taken Its

VALUE OF BLANKETINe COWS
Practice Adopted In Australia Found
to Give Excellent Results Dur
Inc Cold Weather.

For some years past q number Of
dairymen In Australia have adopted
the practice Of blanketing COWS dur
ing wet and cold weather. The re-
suits In every case are spoken Of as
being highly satisfactory. When COWS
are kept warm the food they con-
sumo. instead Of being utilized to
maintain daily heat, is largely de-
voted to the production Of milk, and
in this way the dairyman realizes a
large profit on the very small outlay
required to provide blankets for his
cattle in cold weather.
Men who have studied the subject
closely say that the effect Of covers
on COWS Is very remarkable. The
quiet cows become more quiet and
contented, while those that are shy
or nervous have their nerves soothed.
and submit Of being handled without
fear. This is no fad Of one or two
men, but has become so common
that the manufacturers have placed
several kinds Of blankets as cover
ings on the markets, with view of
supplying the demand that has
arisen.
1t is said, however, that a home
made blanket, made from old wheat
bags, serves the purpose as well as
anything. After they have been worn
for a short time they become thor
oughly waterproof.
