What Maksa EIovverx Blue.

Of all the many substances that are combined to make a flower. what is the particular one to which Is due the blue. red or yellow color? Why, for example, are gentians blue and roses red, and why has no one ever seen a red gentian or a blue rosel The chem. ist can tell us.

True blue exists in veronicas. salvias, yer. benas, basil, solanum. penstemon. ne mophila. convolvulus. borage, hounds tongue and in all the orders allied to the gentianaceae and compositae, but never in luplns, vetches, peas. gerani. ums, hollyhocks, primulas, roses, bal. sams. flax, etc. All the blue produc. ing plants just named have tannin in them which does not exist in the oth CTS. This is called caffetannin. It is found in coffee. but not in tea. Tea contains another form of tannin, which is the same as that which makes ca. mellias red.-Exchange.

Tanbark as e Fuel.

Perhaps the most important of was fuels in the United States has bee
 spent tanbark. A rough estimate wouf indicate that this material generateS few years ago an amount of steam that would have otherwise required the yearly consumption of about 2.O00,- 900 tons of high grade coal. Yet this valuable fuel was at one time consid- cred mere detriment and an expense to the leather industry. It was dis posed of by dumping it into rivers, tiIl- ing in waste ground and by nAking roads with 1t, often necessftatIng the paying out of large sums for its dispo- sition. This strikingly Illustrates a case of how the improvement of fur mace converted a hitherto supposed combustible into valuable waste fuel of the autocombustible class and shows how an enormous waste was converted into an equally great econ omy.-Engineering Magazine.

The Foot of the Reindeer.

The foot of the reindeer is most pe- culiar in construction. It is cloven through the middle, and each half curved upward in front. It is slightly elongated and capable of consider able amount of expansion. When glaced on an irregular surface which is difficult to traverse, the animal con tracts the feet into sort of claw, by which a firm hold Is secured When moving rapidly the.two portions of the foot as it is lifting strike together, the hoofs making a continuous clattering noise, which may be heard at consid- erable distance. It is this peculiarity of the feet that makes the reindeer so sure footed and so valuable in rocky and uneven country, where almost any other anmal would prove failure as a beast of burden. .s.,

Rodin's Test of Sculpture.

Rodin's favorite way of showing off his sculpture is by the light of a shad- ed lamp at night. In his way, especial ly when the light is projected from be- low, every rugosity of the skin, every subsurface muscle, every vein or wrin- kle Is accentuated. The trouble with this test when applied to statues not by Rodin is that frequently the veins and muscles and wrinkles have not been chiseled into the stone, and no projected light, no matter what its in- tensity or angle of projection, can cast shadows not raised by the inequalities of the sculptured sr1rface.-W. Franck- lyn Paris in International Studio.

Ganqrene,

Gangrene is the death Of a part of the living body. Sometimes it results from an injury, such as burning or frostbite, or from surgical opera ton. Sometimes 1t is the consequence of a physical condition, with such causes as diabetes or senility or em- bolism. Whatever the cause or what ever form 1t takes, it means that the obstruction to circulation has been so complete as to prevent local nutrition and to bring about the death of the part. As impaired circulation is at the Foot of the trouble, the treatment must try to restore the circulation and com bat the inflammation. Local heat is the best means of restoring the circu- latfon. Hot bottles or warm irriga- lions or bandages of hot fiannels may be used. Gangrene is not matter for home treatment except under the constant and watchful care of the phy- sician, for in many cases operation Is the only means of saving life.

Little Economies.

A naval photographer gets many duckings and. after time, takes them as a matter of course. Being thrown into the sea isn't considered by him at all a serious event.
