POPULAR MECHANICS
Substitute For Horn.

A cheap and easily made substitute
for horn can be made of wheat flour
and sodium silicate This substitute is
very hard and strong and, by inserting
organic dye into the composition while
mixing, it can be colored to initiate
almost any kind Of horn substance.
The compound is made by mixing ten
parts (by volume) of sodium silicate
40 degrees Baume) with distilled wa
ter, and then stirring the resultant
liquid into thick paste with fine
white wheat -four. The mass is then
allowed to stand for three weeks, dur.
ing which time it undergoes a chemi.
cal reaction that produces hard, horn.
like substance. This composition can
be nodded without pressure when first
made and turned and machined like
brass after it has set.

HIS VIEW OF TIPPING.
II Was Not the More Money That the
Old Waiter Craved.

WV S'oNoos
Tips are said to be an evil of our
times. but the man who has to give
them makes the statement. That vast
number that receives the largest has
probably found 1t no crime. There is
much to be said on both sides. but I
cannot think that 1t is IA system which
should be, indeed. can be abolished, for
the giving of tip is the recognition
Of personal service. 1t Is the only way
one can thank man who is not, in
his present capacity at least, In the
class OF the one who dispenses the coin.
And there Is another reason--tO argue
for the other side-that was most beau
tifully exemplified in story which
came to me recently.
A friend OF mine took into service as
indoor man one who had attracted her
attention as II most perfect waiter In C.
hotel She paid him the same amount
that he averaged as waiter, and she
found him rs satisfactory In her own
home as she had expected him TO be-
Yet at the end of a few months he beg
ged to return to his more exhausting
duties In great caravansary.
Il don't know as l can make 1t plain
to you, madam" he said to her ear
nesuy, "but it's the tips that | look
forward to. Not that they are any
more on the whole, than | get here,
but there's always an uncertainty
about it. | keep wondering IL | am
to get good deal or very little, and
1t makes the day interesting. It's n
kind Of an adventure, In manner OF
speaking, madam" - Louise Closer

When the Engine Backfires.

A gas engine will backfire because
some Of the charge is still burning in
the combustion space when the intake
that to produce backf1ring a slow burn
ing mixture is required. Generally
backfiring is due to too weak mixture.
The weaker a mixture is the slower It
burns. The amount of backfiring nat
urally depends to some extent upon the
speed of the motor. 1t follows that in
an engine running at 1000 revolutions
per minute the period between each
spark is much shorter than in an en-
gine running at 500 revolutions per
minute

Driving on Slippery Roads.

If you are caught out in rain and
have to drive on slippery roads do not
go at speed which will necessitate
the use of brakes Try to avoid ap-
plying the brakes, for there is no surer
way Of skidding than suddenly to ap-
ply brakes while moving rapidly. And
even in coasting down wet hillside
1t Is best to put the gears into low or
intermediate and shut off the spark.
In this way your car is held back by
the compression of the engine without
the use of brakes to any great extent.

Future Development of Flying.

If this war, as it bids fair now to do,

Red Paint Tested,

All sorts of weather conditions failed
to cause any perceptible fading of

York, in June, 1914, and was exposed

which the craft was continuously on
station. The bureau of lighthouses re-
ports that the paint showed up bright

the vessel very conspicuous and neat

support For Radiator Hose.

In certain types of automobiles the
radiator is supported at the top by the
rubber hose which connects the mani
fold to the radiator, says Popular Me-
chanics. The constant vibration of the
radiator and it's forward and backward
movements are all impaired to the rub
ber hose, with the result that 1t be-
comes badly warped and twisted, and
1t does not take long before the hose is
useless.
Trouble of this nature can be eliIni-
mated to a great extent by introducing

Uses of Molybdenite.

The mining of molybdenite is becom-
ing an important industry In Tasmania,
where extensive deposits Of this rare
mineral have recently been found Mo-
lybdenite is used for variety of pur-
poses, but It's principal value is in the
manufacture of steel, to which it gives
hardness and toughness that make
the steel suitable for use in propeller
shafts, guns and boilers.

Tho Farm Engine.

In selecting an engine for farm work
the prospective purchaser will find it
economical to get an engine that will
develop little surplus power, 1t costs
a trifle more and is little more ex-
pensive to operate. but It carries the
load without the wear and tear that an
engine undergOes when overloaded.
