Over the high plateau of the Andes Mountains,
in Western Bolivia, the storm-clouds of the earth
often rise to height of six miles above the
sea level. If the Marian atmosphere is equal
to our own, on account of dminution of the
surface gravity the clouds on Mars should rise
two and half times as high. Professor Pick
ering has definitely observed measured Mar
tan clouds twenty miles high.
The atmosphere around Mars is ten times
lighter and purer than that around That is
to say the force of gravity on the surface OF
Mars is ten times weaker. Not only do the
clouds rise higher from Mars. but BIRDS winged
creatures, and flying men necessarily have less
pull" exerted upon them by the force of gravity
on that planet.
Life on Mars has become a firmly established
fact. All of the evidence of a superior and
larger sort of vegetation and life can be seen
through the huge new telescopes

WHY TOMATOES Are GOOD for US

a careful chemical analysis of man. different samples
OF juice fails to show the slightest trace of it.
Further examination showed that the acidity of
ripe tomato is due to bmalate made up of two mole
cules of organic combustibe acid and an alkaline
mineral base The latter has been shown TO be moth
ing less than of tartar which, has long been
known. is quite for the bodys health About
IA parts of of tartar found in every
hundred parts of tomatoes The tomato gets its acid
not from its higher acdty, but from the absence
OF sugar and the peculiar flavor of this alkaline base
Tomatoes if eaten in moderate quantities, produce
the changes in ones system all acid fruits
which contain oxalic acid. The malc acid is de-
stroyed the of tartar is liberated and this lat
ter renders the body fluids alkaline
II would therefore seem that persons with ten
dency rheumatism should be urged to eat tomatoes
rather than forbidden them. They particularly
valuable to heavy meat eaters those who indulge
in alcoholic stmulants.
The cream of tartar which take in the form of
baking powder is not sufficient to neutraze the acids
produced by a heavy consumption of meat This is why
when much meat is eaten it should always be accom-
panied by acid fruits vegetables of qualities similar
to tomatoes.

The invention of electric clothes about through
an effort to devise for rheumatism. 1t has long
been known that rheumatism is greatly benefited by
keeping the parts most affected at a rather high and
even temperature So Dr. Carmichael, professor of
physics at the University of Toulouse, in France
dertook to construct suit wired with electricity so
that heat could be turned throughout it's entire
tent or in one portion alone, as might be desired
But the suits which he tailored in his electrical abo
raory, while theoretically all right in many ways

wear. For one thing the wiring made them too heavy
end altogether too stiff to allow any freedom of move
ment. Then, too the insulation imperfect that
there was always the danger of short circuit giving
the severe shock or painful burn when he
turned on the current, instead of the warmth he de-
sired The wiring also quickly through the cloth
and after the fabric had been wet few times the
heating apparatus rusted and was ruined
Another French scientist Professor NJ C. Herrgott,
of Belfort took up the experiments where Professor
Carmichael left off and he has at last succeeded in pro-
ducng suits made from electrically wired fabric
which meet all practical tests Experiments recently
made with them at Bordeaux under the direction of
Professor Bergonie, the distinguished scientist show
that they leave nothing to be desired except their
cost. which is altogether too high,
In the suits as made by Professor Herrgott the
wiring is into the cloth so that only an expert
would know it there that it does not in the
least affect the appearance of the fabric supple
ness and wearing qualities The metal used is an alloy
which is very light and will not rust, and the con-

To Prevent Your Garage Burning Up

UNLESS great care is taken, family garage
is always liable to become the starting
~ point of disastrous fire. With a view
to lessening the amount of property destroyed
through garage fires the National Fire Protec
tive Association has issued the following
sible rules, which should be enforced wherever
even single automobile is stored
Never allow open flame lights in garage.
Run the auto outside when filling the tank so
that gasoline vapors will dissipate
Do not keep quantities of gasoline or calcium
carbide inside of garage or dwelling. An ap-
proved underground storage tank is the safest
method for keeping gasoline.

A metal waste can should be located at con-
venient place outside the garage for all waste
and greasy rags. Burn these every week.
1t is unsafe to use sawdust or shayings to
absorb grease and oil in a garage If the floor
is wooden, scrub it occasionally with hot water
and I've.
The use of gasoline for cleaning parts of the
automobile in the garage is a dangerous thing.
The garage should not be heated by means
OF stove or open fire of any kind unless it is
isolated in another room, so that the gasoline
vapors, which travel rapidly cannot possibly
get to it.
Keep an approved fire eXtinguisher and a pail
OF sand in the garage. Water thrown on burn
ing gasoline merely serves to spread the flames
