MOTOR TIRES OF SEAWEED

A good many people could afford to
buy an automobile II they could af
ford to run one, but the cost of re-
pairs is generally so heavy that the
average man cannot possibly enjoy
the pleasures OF a motor car This
condition may soon be changed. how
ever, for motorists may look forward
hopefully to a possible reduction in
the cost OF new tires II the latest dis
covery as to the manufacture OF rub
Der from seaweed proves capable OF
practical utilization. According to
the Marine Journal, a method has
been found for manufacturing from
seaweed a substance which, 1t is de-
clared, can be used as an inexpensive
substitute for rubber and leather.
Tires for automobiles and carriages,
1t is said can be very satisfactorily
made OF the substance, and the manu-
facture Of boots is now being consld-
cred. The seaweed material is not
only great deal cheaper than either
rubber or leather but 1t is also be-
lieved to be most lasting and more
sanitary. So far the only uses which
have been found for seaweed are as a
fertilizer or for the abstraction OF
iodine. The dried seaweed has been
used at times for the stufing of mat
tresses and pillows, but this has not
proved generally acceptable.

NIGHT WELLS

The attention Of scientists has re-
Gently been attracted to curious wells
to be found in Australia which only
supply water at night. 1t has long
been known that these so-called
night wells" were to be found In
that country but only recently has
anyone attempted a scientific explana-
tion of why these wells are without
water in the middle of the hot day
and well filled with water during the
night.
These wells are to be found in the
desert regions of Central Australia.
They are natural wells for the most
part. Travellers who come across
these wells during the heat of the
day generally rest until into the night
if they and their horses are badly in
need of water, knowing that only at
night can they quench their thirst.
Then, as the day advances, the
water slowly sinks back into the
ground and out of sight. At night
after the sun has been down long
enough for the ground to begin to
ool, the water comes back into the
wells rather speedily, not as slowly
as it receded And as the water
comes back there is a peculiar whist
ling sound, made by the air, that
seems to be forced out of the wells
as the water comes in. For this rea-
son many people call them "whistling
wells"
A study of these wells has been
made by Dr. Malcolm Maclaren. In
regard to this peculiar geological
formation referring to the more nu-
merous natural wells) he has shown
that the water reaches the upper sec
tion through long narrow passage
that reaches through a fine stratum
of gneiss into the earth DR.. Mac
laren Is Of the opinion that during
the heat Of the day this layer of
earth, or gneiss, forming the narrow
passage, swells. and, descending into
the cavity, forms a depression into
which the water collects. When 1t
grows cool at night these layers con-
tract and drive the water and air
into the passage communicating with
the well, the outrushing air making
tho whistling sound. But even DR..
admits this is only par

PIMpLES ALL OVER FACE

1413 e. Senessee Ave, Saginaw,
Mich.-"Cuticura Soap and Ointment
cured me OF very bad disease of the
face without leaving a scar. Pimples
broke out all over my face, red and
large. They festered and came to a
head. They itched and burned and
caused me to scratch them and make
sores. They said they were seed
warts. At night was restless from
Itching. When the barber would
shave me my face would bleed terri
bly,. Then scabs would form after
wards, then they would drop off and
the so-called seed warts would come
back again. They were on my face
for about nine months and the trou-

PERPETUAL YOUTH

At last we have the secret of perpet'
ual youth! Fall in love and keep
constantly falling in love If you wish
to remain young" said DR.. Josiah Old
field, in one of his lectures.
There is nothing more important
than this to prevent men and women
from growing old.
IF you are married, all you have to
do is to fall in love all over again with
your husband or your wife. If you do
this you will never find time to adopt
the nagging habit, and nothing ages
like matrimonial nagging."
Dr. Oldfield is strong in his denunci-
alton of the loveless individual.
IF you do not know how to fall in
love" he says, you must practice un-
til you learn. You are never too old
to learn, and when you have learnt,
then you are young again.
"A person who has never been in
love and never wants to be caught to
be drowned" is the conviction Of DR..
Oldfield.
