Reason for prler In Paint.

The linseed oil in paint naturally
.esists the drying effect of the atmos-
phere, and because of this it is nee
essary to add something to the paint
mixture to overcome the resistance.
Drier is prepared for this purpose, Its
function being to absorb oxygen rap
idly and convert the film into hard,
insoluble product During this proc
ess the llnseed oil is changed into
linoxyn, and the drier continues it's
oxidation until the paint film is eventu-
ally destroyed.
Drier is made by adding salts to a
certain amount of linseed oil which
is heated up to about 500 degrees F.
The temperature is allowed to drop
and turpentine or mixture of tur-
pentine and benzine added.

USE NIAGARA FALLS
Power to Be Utilized Without

Engineers Have Worked Out Scheme
Which It Is Believed viii Give
Results Without Necessity of
Destroying the Falls.

Niagara falls is to be put to work
without affecting the scenic beauty
of one of the worlds wonders, a plan
having been worked out to save and
utilize from rs to so per cent of the
power now going to waste without
outraging the artistic sensibilities of
nature lovers. Two of the most i'm
portant features of the fall in a scenic
way, are the detection of light
through the water as it curves over
the crest, and the rising spray from
the impact of the water at the base
of the cliff, and both of these features
are to be preserved This is to be ac-
compllshed by an ingenious arrange
ment of penstocks by which por-
tion of the water is caught as 1t falls
from the crest, Is led through the
turbines, and is then discharged into
the falling sheet of water at the foot
of the cliff, care being taken not to d.
vert enough Of the water through the
penstocks to impair the beauty of the
falling sheet.
The plan involves the building of a
permanent concrete crest for the falls,

ARE LED BY GHOST
Russians See SkobeIeff at Their
Head.
Belief Said to Be in the Ranks That
Great Commander Directs the
Movements of the Armies
of the Gar.

Some Russian soldiers have de-
clared they saw the figure of Skobe-
left on his white horse, leading their
forces, as of old, into battle. To those
who know the profound impression
that wonderful man made on the Sla-
vonic mind, there is no improbability in
such a suggestion. Drawn SO largely
from a primitive peasantry, the vast
host marshaled by the czar must con-
tain multitudes whose childlike mag
nations are quite capable of conjur-
ing up their legendary hero in visible
form once more, warding off defeat
and pointing to victory. Even with
the less simple there may well be a
longing to have SO famous fighter at
their head in that great struggle he
predicted would happen, and in which
he would so dearly have loved to play
his part
1t was while the Russo-Turkish war
in 1877 was raging that, from the
midst of official incompetence and cor
rupt favoritism, Skobeleff emerged as
the magician to whose wand victory
was ever obedient. Entirely by his
own merits, without the advantage of
illustrious birth, and against the OPP
won his generals epaulets before he
was 33. After the fall of Plevna, his
rapid passage of the Balkans in mid
winter brought about the surrender
of Turkeys last army in the field and
this was speedily followed by the cap
ture of Adrianople. He was already
at the gates of Constantinople when
Lord Beaconsfield interviewed to pre-
vent its occupation, and in the Berlin
treaty that ensued Skobeleff ever pro-
fessed to see the seeds of the harvest
we are gathering today.
AS a soldier he created among his
men an enthusiasm for his leadership
comparable only to that won by Ma
poleon himself A strict disciplin-
arian, visiting any breach of com
mands with merciless severity, he was
the friend and companion of every
rank, comrade who shared their
privations, fed from their camp pots
and merrily chaffed one and all.
He did not know the sensation OF
fear, and faced the utmost dangers
with cool contempt. Yet always he
bore charmed life. Horses were
killed beneath him, his staff fell shot
at his side, his sword was broken in
his hand but no missile ever found il
him it's billet. The story grew in the
army that he could not be wounded
and some were found to declare they
were hit by bullets that could only
have passed through him first. 1t was
facts and fables like these, losing
nothing in the telling, that made him
the darling of the Russian people.
