Food PRESERVATION.
FHE RAPIDITY with which foo,

FHE RAPIDITY with which food
will spoil in the summer time
makes Of interest all simple meth
DDS of preservation. Chemicals are not
desired, though such simple things as
boric acid and benzoate of soda have
been much used in the past, but have
been tabooed by the health author
tiles. There is one way which is left
against which there can be no criti-
cism, and that is by the sun. To dry
articles Of food on racks exposed to
the sun and air, as is done in the
preservation Of apricots and in the
manufacture of raisns, would be too
slow for the preservation of foods. A
simple apparatus can, however, be
made by almost anyone which will
do the work. The point is to get
as much sunlight focused upon the
article to be preserved as possible.
A box made with three sides Of glass
which como together at the top in an
apex with the fourth side of solid
wood painted white and the bottom
also painted white will do the work.
The sun s rays reflected against the
white woodwork develop sufficient heat
to sterilize articles that may be placed
in the box. Vegetables, or fruits, con-
tanning much water will develop con-
siderable steam so that some arrange
ment must be made, like valve at
the top, to let off some Of the vapor.
Many of the fruits and vegetables can
be completely dried in one day and
will become brittle. To restore them
to an eatable condition it is only
necessary to soak them in water, as
all Of the fruit juices and nutritious
properties have been retained in the
drying process. Even meats, such as
chicken, can be als1 preserved in the
same way, although it may be neces-
sary to retain them in the box for
more than one day. With such drier
there is no opportunity of flies or dust
or anything else to contaminate the
articles being preserved, SO that there
is no necessity Of keeping close watch
upon the apparatus. The economy and
convenience of such a process will be
apparent to anyone. Try it and see
what result you get.

vised. If he be interested in botany,
mineralogy or "bugs," SO much the
better, as he will have the opportun-
ity to get in considerable study while
resting at midday or after the day 5
advance has been completed.
Congenial companions are wanted for
such a vacation. Otherwise what is a
pleasure to one will be irksome to an.
other, and unless there be good deal
of charitableness the trampers will be
likely to break into two camps-one
the students and the other the pleas

Inventions and Appliances
WALKS ON WATER.
n UGUsT soMMERFELD, 81 years

n UGUsT sOMMERFELD, 81 years
~ old, of Stanton, Mo-, has invented
an inflated rubber life preserver
which enables him to walk in or on
the water when it is properly adjusted
to his body. 1t is made in two semi
circular sections, is very thin at the
lower edge where it fits closely to
the body, and widens upward and un-
der the arms. When it Is inflated it
is seven inches thick and enables him
to float upright in the water.
To go with this preserver are pro-
pellers which Sommerfeld fastens to
his ankles, enabling him to walk in
the water as well as to float. They
are made of aluminium and consists of
several wings, which, when he lifts his
foot, fold closely against the ankle,
offering no resistance. But when he
pushes downward and backward with
his foot the wings spread far enough
to form a cup which catches the wa,
ter and propels him along.
With this equipment Sommerfeld can
step into the water, shoulder his gun,
hunt ducks up stream or down, slip
ping quietly upon the birds because
they do not recognize that he is a
man, and when he has shot them, walk
to where they float on the water and
put them in his game hap. Or he can
reach the best fishing places without
the use Of boat.
When he is tired or hungry he turns
his face down stream and drifts
leisurely along while he eats his
luncheon from the knapsack on his
shoulder, takes drink of his favorite
brew and then smokes his after dinner
cigar. Summerfeld recently gave prac-
tical demonstrations of his new inven-
tion at Stanton and Sullivan, Mo.

SOAP WEED BECOMES VALUABLE

rHE SOAP WEED harvest is on in
the former railroadless counties on
the new Cimarron Valley line of
the Santa Fe. The soap weed in
dustry is new thing in southwestern
Kansas and is netting farmers consider
able profit. st. Louis buyers ordered
twenty five car loads OF the baled weed
few days ago and night shifts of
men are being worked in the south
western counties in an effort to fill
the order before the wheat harvest sets
in in full blast.
The weeds are gathered from the
prairie and hauled to Hugoton, Elk
hart, Satanta and Sublette, where they
are baled for shipping. Haskell coun-
ty is the main producer. The weed is
used by eastern soap manufacturers.
Its commercial value was first reeog-
nized in southwestern Kansas last year.

POLLUTED WATER.

r. VERYONE knows and admits the
& necessity for pure water. When
you are away from home and are
not sure of the character of the water
supply it would not be a bad idea to
make a few simple tests. The results
may prove that it was decidedly worth
while to take the trouble, says the
New York Sun. Here are two tests
that you can make very easily:
Fill a tumbler with water, drop in
a lump Of white sugar, cover it with a
saucer and let it stand overnight on
the bricks at the side of the range,
on the kitchen mantelpiece, or, in fact,
anywhere the temperature will not sink
below 60 degrees. If next morning
the contents are clear the water is
pure. If, on the other hand, the liquid
is cloudy some source of contamina-
tion is indisputably proved.
The second test is to drop a few
grains of permanganate of potash into
tumbler of water, cover and let it
stand for an hour. If the water is still
of the bright rosy color to which the
chemical turned it, it is perfectly safe
for drinking. If it is of a brownish
color it is impure, although the i'm
purity may be Of the kind that boil-
ing will rob of its power to harm.

TRAMPING AND THE PARCEL
POST

HERE are many people who woulc
/ like to spend their summer vaea
tion tramping about the country
were it not that they have to carry toe
much luggage in order to have the
desired clean clothing that tramp IL
the dust makes desirable. Here il
where the parcel post comes in for
good turn. If a pedestrian tour be
laid out so as to embrace postoffices
at stated times, soiled clothings can
be mailed home and clean clothing
mailed out. This necessitates regular
program, but that would not matter
SO long as the desired object be ac-
complished.
If person proposes pedestrian
tour he should begin to get his walk
ing muscles toughened up before ne
starts on the regular tramp, else he
will find himself about the second
day so lame that he will be tempted
to give up the expedition. Begin
couple of weeks or more in advance
with a walk of five miles, more or
less-whatever can be done comfort
ably-and keep increasing the distance
until ten or more miles can be done
daily without any discomfort. This ex-
ercise may be taken without any bag
gage When ten miles can be easily
done then you are ready for the tramp.
But it must be done easily or there
will be no pleasure. The baggage that
will be taken will make the first day
the hardest, and it will be we'll not to
try for ten miles, but stop when the
muscles begin to feel tired. After
day or two it will be easy to in
crease the daily mileage, and then the
real pleasure of the expedition will
begin. A lunch eaten by the side of
brook and washed down with a CO.
pious draught of water will be found
more refreshing and satisfying that
the ordinary meal at home, while
dinner of trout broiled Immediately
after being caught will 60 as near
to the right spot as anything that has
ever been eaten. A sleep in the open
will complete the day and make the
tramper feel, if it be his first expert
ence, as if he had never known the
joy of living. A couple of weeks
spent in this way has more real re-

milk cans, which can be removed o,
prying up with knife.
The middle section (B) of the trar
consists of screen-covered franc that
resembles small gable roof through
which there are six holes (f) to let
the flies into the uppermost section
GAY, which is merely the screenedin
cage that is set down over the other
two parts (B and C).
The handle (h), of course, is un.
necessary, but will be found con-
venient when the trap is immersed in
water to kill the flies.
The department agents in their
demonstration visits to the different
farms take the flytraps with them.
They interest the housewife in them
and set one up in her home to show
what it can accomplish. The results
of the demonstrations have been SC
successful that almost every farmer
who sees the trap wants one, and
many of Them have been putting traps
together in accordance with the in
structions of the agent.
The traps have done much to arouse
the interest or the rural population of
South Carolina in fly determination
the necessity for which is no, always
felt as strongly on the farm as it is
in the crowded city, where these
vermin make themselves more OBJ
noxious.

FAN OPERATES WITHOUT USE OF
ELECTRICITY.

TAfORKING without electricity or
" springs, a fan has been con-
structed for home and office use
which produces a pleasant, cool breeze,
without noise and at an operating cost
of oneh half cent an hour. Motive power
is generated by the rapid expansion
of hot air. Each stroke of a small
piston forces air into cylinder where
by the heat of an alcohol flame it is
expanded, developing sufficient force to
drive the fan blades with speed. The
stand is slightly less than II feet high
and weighs pounds. 1t can be moved
from one position to another without
trouble, and the fan, it is claimed, will
run without need of repairs or danger
of getting out of order.

TEMPERATURE BREAKS THEIR
MOMETER.

n TEMPERATURE which amazed the
II doctors and broke the ther-
mometer is recorded in the case
of girl patient in one of the city
hospitals of Kiev, Russia. She is suf-
fering from typhus fever, and her case
attracted special attention when a
temperature of 112 degrees Fahrenheit
was recorded, bursting the thermome-
ter. In the presence Of number Of
professors and students her tempera-
ture was taken with special instru-
ment, which showed 122 degrees, later
rising to l31 degrees.
The facts are vouched for by emn
nent professors. According to all previ.
GUS experience life at such tempera-
ture is unknown, even impossible.

Homemade Fly Trap for 20 Cents

The flytrap is made in three dis
tinct parts CA, B and @ that may
be detached from one another by un-
fastening the hooks (d) that hold
them together at either end. The
trap is unlocked in order to place
the bait on the bottom section (c).
The bait is placed on two pieces of
tin (e) tackled to this bottom section.
In the sample trap that was forward
ed to the department these pieces
of tin were circular tops of paint or

some as large as "a inches long, IS
inches high and 10 inches wide. The
material for these traps costs from
10 to 20 cents, and can be put to-
gether by anyone handy with tools in
short while" The trap may be
baited with sour milk, piece of
banana, fruit skin, or similar sub
stance. This should be removed at
night or it will attract ants. At the
same time, the flies which have been
caught should be killed by pouring
hot water over the trap or leaving
it immersed in water until the flies
are dead.
