ADVICE FOR SALAD MAKERS
Hints From France, Where It's Prepa.
ration Is an Art, viii Be Found
of Much Value.

There is an art in preparing salad
A French chef accuses Americans of
ignorance concerning it.
He says the leaves are seldom
:reated properly before beng put in
The bowl. He advises the following:
Salad leaves should be Inspected
carefully, with each faded or bruised
spot removed.
They should be washed in four wa
:ers to insure perfect cleanliness.
Then all should be placed in per-
,ectly clean cloth.
Gather this cloth by the four cor
ners and shake it until no water
sprays from the leaves.
Put them in a cool place until it Is
lime to serve the salad
Then remove the leaves from the
cloth and dry each one carefully.
Tear the big leaves with your fin
gers.
Put the crisp white little leaves in
bowl which has been rubbed with
garlic.
Then place the shredded large
leaves upon them.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper
Use two tablespoonful Of oil, and
then pour little vinegar upon the
oil. as 1t mixes better THIS way.
Twist and turn the lettuce until
they are all covered with dressing.
No mustard should b. used on q
delicate green salad.

WILL START FIRES EASILY
kindllng Wood Not Required Where
Three-Pronged Gasburner Is Used
Works Very Quickly.

There is no longer any necessity for
working up fire with kindling wood
II you have one Of the devices patent
ed by an Illinois man. This is a three
pronged gas burner. which can be In
serted under the coal and logs, as the
case may be, and will ignite the fuel
in a short time. Each of the three
arms Of this burner has numerous per-
forations along 1t and the whole three
connect with coupling designed to
be fitted on hose that connects with
the gas Jet in the room. A stopcock
regulates the flow of gas into the
burner. The fuel Is first placed in the
crate or range and the gas turned into
the burner. A match applied to each
of the three prongs causes each to
burst into row Of flames, SO that
when the apparatus is thrust into the
fuel In the crate it will ignite the
fuel much better than kindling would
do.

LIST OF GREAT INVENTIONS
Sound Producing Instruments and Me-

Not Mentioned.

Some time ago the Scientific Ameri-
can offered prizes of $3.50, 500 and $50
for the three best essays naming the
ten greatest modern inventions and
the reasons for the choice. First prize
was finally awarded to William !. Wy
man of Washington for the following
selections:
The electric furnace, which produces
a heat so intense as to simulate the
primal forces OF nature" Among other
things 1t has reduced the price of
aluminium from over twelve dollars
per pound to less than twenty-five
cents
The steam turbine, which has ef-
fected great economies in steam con.
sumption and Is sending the recipro-
eating engine to the scrap heap.

practically revolutionized methods Of
locomotion.

important factor in education and one

novation in the history Of locomotion,
threatening to revolutionize warfare
and promising large possible CONNER
cial results.
Wireless telegraphy, which has
robbed the sea of most of Its terrors,
and has done remarkable things in the
field of world communication.
The cyanide process. which has revo-
lutionized the metallurgy of the preci-
GUS metals.
The induction motor, which made
possible the utilization and transmits
sion Of alternating electric current. Is
largely responsible for the substitution
OF electric for steam power in the In
dustries and has conserved from 80 to
so per cent of the energy formerly
wasted in whirling line shafting and
betting.
The linotype. which has made it
possible to set type almost ten times
as rapidly as before.

There are three varieties Of the
barbe to be found In our markets (per-

they all belong to the endive family.
Barbe Is the pale green variety.
blanched is the white loosely curled,
and witloof is the pinkIsA curled solid
heads.
The proper dressing to serve in this
salad is French dressing, but any Of
the following may be used:
Sauce Mandalay.-To a good French
dressing add one tablespoonful OF
Mandalay sauce, a teaspoonful OF
chopped olives, juice OF a small onion.
teaspoonful of finely chopped chives.
Mustard Sauce.-Chop half green
pepper and quarter Of small Gu
cumber fine, after removing seeds, add
to half cup of mustard dressing and
after mixing add quarter cup of thin
French dressing.
Sauce Violette To half cupful Of
French dressing add teaspoonful OF
moutarde violette de brive, mix well
cut the salad into half-inch lengths
and garnish with olive rings.
Chicory and oHIiye, besides being
salad agents, may be boiled in clear
water until tender trained and served
with any of the cream sauces.

INJURY FROM WEEvIl
INSECT DOING MUCH DAMAGE
IN WESTERN STATES.
Brush Drag ls Effective in Knocking
Larvae Feeding on Stubbie TO
Ground Where Many Are
Mangied or Suffocated.
(By f. G. TITUS.)

The alfalfa leaf-weeviI. which has
during the last few years been doing
considerable damage in parts of our
western states, Is a European insect
which by some means unknown has
been introduced into this country.
The species appears to be not un-
common throughout Europe and parts
OF Asia and Africa. 1t belongs to the
large order of hard-shelled insects
called beetles, and in group gener-
ally called snout-beetles. To this same
group belong many OF our most seri-
GUS pests, such as the plum curculio.
cotton boil weevil and strawberry wee
vii. 1t occurs all over Europe, por-
ton of northern Africa and eastern
Asia. 1t probably occurs throughout
all of the regions in which alfalfa is
cultivated In the eastern hemisphere,
but rarely causes damage suffi cient to
be reported.
This weevil belongs to family OF
insects which feed principally upon
In the genus have been introduced
into the United States and Canada.
Two of these. the clover leaf-weevil.
and the lesser clover leafweevil. have
done considerable damage to the Glow
er crop In the eastern and central
states, and the former has been re
ported as injuring clover in the ex-
trsme northwest. They also feed on
alfalfa and other related plants.
Many methods OF Kidding the fields
Of these pests have been tried-burn-
Ing, sweeping and dragging-with
varying results. Many patterns OF the
| brush drag are In use. but the one
which seems to be giving the best re-
suits is made by laying the butts OF
rather short brush, five or six feet
| long, in a row on plank twelve or
fourteen feet long, then another row
should be laid on the first consisting
of longer brush, with the butts
trimmed little further back. 80 that
you will have In effect two brush har-
rows, one following the other. An.
other plank should be laid on the
brush butts and bolted to the under
plank In weighing this harrow, lay
an ordinary tooth harrow, teeth down
directly on the brush drag. This
