To Fill Pores In Stone.

Stone and brick are porous. so much
so that they are not suitable as liquid
containers. and if used outdoors they
take up water which freezes, causing
small bits to crack and fall off. 1t is
often desirable to fill these pores. and
this ma be done with a solution OF
paraffin and naphtha. This solution is
readily soaked up. and the naphtha
evapOrates. leaving the pores filled
with the paratfin. If the rock or brick
is treated with soft soap and then
washed with alum an insOluble COM
pound is formed. which also acts as Il
good filler. \. solution of sodium sill

U q m THE DESERT.

One Motor Truck Did ~ Much Work In
q Day 10 Fifty Mules.
Seven hundred thousand ton miles Is
the total Of a single hauling contract
performed by a feet Of motor trucks IN
building an oil pipe line from the Mid
way oil fields in California to tidewa-
ter at San Pedro. S~upplanting oU
mules, crossing forty miles desert
sand with practically every To-. limb
ing attitudes as high as $500 ieet. run
ming nine miles Of each trip on river
bottom-these are a few Of the diff
culties which were overcome by the
motor feet owned by a company that
contracted to haul $4,000 tons Of ma
terial through the wilderness. Their
work is described in the Engineering
Magazine as follows:
The roads were SO soft and the Op-
Grating conditions so difficult that low
er gears were installed in all the trucks.
The gear ratio between the engine and
the rear wheels was about so per cent
lower than used for normal working
conditions. The average time for for
ty miles was only about eight miles an
hour, but when it Is considered that
the great heat and the soft roads made
it impossible for the best Missouri
mules to haul more than 1000 pounds
to the animal. and these animals, haul
ing 1000 pounds, travel only about n
and a half miles an hour sixteen miles
being a days work for ten mules haul
ing FIVE tons), it will be seen that a
motor truck hauling five tons and trav-
cling eighty miles a day would do the
work Of FIVE ten-mule teams. In other
words, one motor truck did as much
work every day as fifty mules.
Eighty per cent Of the equipment
was on the road all the time, and 20
per cent was in the temporary garage
which was built to maintain the trucks
on this job. These ten trucks did as
much work as 400 mules in continuous
service would do, Of as much on an
average as 500 would do, because to
keep 400 in service requires a stock
Of 500 mules. Some are laid up for
one a or other all the time.
1t was not an uncommon thing for
these trucks to lose traction on the
desert roads. The wheels would spin
in the sand and dig right down until
the axles rested on the ground. For
such emergencies the trucks carried
two five-inch pipes about fifteen feet
long, with the ends f1attened out and
bent over. The fat end of One of these
pipes was placed under the real wheels
and between the dual tires. Another
scheme that was used to improve trac-
ton on the desert road was the drag
ging Of a ten foot railroad rail behind
a truck every other day. This filled up
ruts and kept the desert. road in fairly
good condition.

SearchIight ProjectiIes.

Some suggestive experiments have
been made on German warships with
lighted projectiles, which it is thought
may take the place of the electric
searchlight. The p%rojectile, which is
filled with calcium carbide, is fred
from a cannon, and since it is lighter
than water. after striking. it comes to
the surface. During it's immersion wa
ter is automatically admitted and pro-
duces acetylene gas which burns with
an illumination equal to that of 5000
candles. The placing of a few of these
around a distant enemy would certain
ly put him at very serious disadvan-
tage.

MAKING GOOD PUTTY.
The Various Ingredients Should 6t.
Thoroughly Kneadsd.


The mixing Of putty has very much
to do with its working properties. its
capacity for staying whore it IL put
and its surfacing quality. Always
mix the putty thoroughly. working all
the various ingredients intimately to-
form mass in which there Is no va
riableness. Inadequate working Of
the pigment will result In Il putty
containing perhaps dry bits Of lead or
whiting. These dry particles Of pig
ment when present in the putty are
worked on to the surface under the
knife. and when the sandpapering Of
the putty occurs they Immediately
tear out. leaving little holes in the
surface. which. in order to make a
ing. must be reglazed with putty.
These dry crumbs Of lead or whiting
should be present In putty.
Thorough kneading and mixing Is Il
sure preventive Of this bad fault. 1t
Is quicker and cheaper than any cure
that can be devised. Good putty
should be tough and elastic and never
dry and crumbling. 1t should not
only be tough and elastic: but. in ad-
dition. IL should be adhesive. tenacious
and capable Of being worked down un-
der sandpaper or with water and arti-
icial rubbing tone.-Blacksmith and

Land Surveyors Too Generous,

The surveyors of the United States
forest service are finding that the old
measures Of forest land in the east
ern part Of the country generally erred
on the side of safety-that is. to the
advantage Of the owner or buyer OF
the land. who ordinarily employs the
surveyor. This is further evidence Of
the honest endeavor of the pioneer
surveyors to\give their employers full
measure. The old idea was to be sure

called for and enough over to have a

Remedy For Anaemia.

In anaemic disease marked by a great
increase of white blood corpuscles ex-
perimenters have been trying small
doses of benzine. A great decrease in
white corpuscles and increase in the
red has followed. and the treatment
seems to give promise of replacing that

puscles fell from 6 5000 to 5000 in
seven weeks; In another case from 49,
