FLAT-lRoN. FACTS

The best iron-stand is a brick. It
is non-conductor of heat, and far
preferable on that account to the
most elaborate open stand.
Irons that are heated on the top of
the range or fire should be stood up
on a piece of polished tin. They heat
more quickly, and are kept quite
clean. The lid of a biscuit-tin does
admirably for this.
If you bIackIead and polish very.
thoroughly the base and handle of
your iron, it will keep hot much long
er, for the polish keeps the heat from
radiating off, Mix a little turps and
methylated spirit with the blacklead
to get a hard, brilliant polish.
The best iron-cIeaner is a piece of
wire gauze. 1t is better than ,sandZ
paper, for the dirt falls through the
holes, and is not rubbed into the iron
again.

What Is the greatest diameter OF
the earth? The form Of the earth l5
that of fiattened spheroid, greater
in diameter at the equator than at
the poles, but this is modified by the
accidents Of it's surface So that the
diameter varies according to the
point at which 1t is measured.
1t might be expected that the dia-
meter would be greatest II measured
from the top of the highest mountain
which Is Mount Everest, in the Him
alayas, but unfortunately the point
at which the diameter would emerge
on the other side of the world Is the
Pacific Ocean, where this is more
than 1000 feet deep.
Professor L. Henkel, OF Schulpfer-
da, says the greatest diameter OF the
earth Is that taken from the summit
of Mount Chimborazo, in Ecuador,
20,136 feet above the sea level This,
he says, energies at the antipodes
on a high point on the north coast
of Sumatra. This diameter Is 1925
miles.
AS Chimborazo is almost on the
equator it's summit is that point on
the earth's surface which is most
distant from the centre. There weight
is feeblest and centrifugal forces
greatest.
The earth's smallest radius is that
from the centre to the north pole,
but IL Is not certain that the line
through the poles is the smallest
diameter, because the south pole is
on high plateau. It might be found
that line a little distant from the
poles, which would emerge at sea
level at each end, would be even
