Amr,-FREz,no POLLUTION

Salt, glycerine, and denatured
a.cohol are commonly used to
form .anti-freezing solutions for
automobile radiators. Regarding
the comparative merits Of these
solutions, the professor in charge
of automobile instruction at the
College of Agriculture says:
salt forms crystals which are
liable to lessen the efficiency Of
the radiator if nothing worse.
Glycerine attacks the rubber hose
connections and is comparatively
expensive. Alcohol is clean and
does not seem to affect the rub
Der or iron to speak of. Solutions
Of alcohol freeze about as fol-
lows:
A 10 per cent mixture at about
25 degrees above zero.
A 20 per cent mixture at about
10 degrees above zero.
A 80 per cent mixture at about
5 degrees below zero.
A 10 per cent mixture at about
20 degrees below zero.
To check the solution, take a
small amount from the radiator,
place in bottle, and put out Of
doors. If the solution begins to
show signs Of freezing over, put
more alcohol into the radiator. In
filling the radiator made neces-
sary by evaporation always fill
with alcohol"

Baths In Finland.

One of the greatest trials a visitor in
Finland has to endure is a Finnish
bath. The method Of procedure is
unique. Divested of outer clothing
and attired in light and airy cotton
garment, you are slung in sort of
hammock composed of cord above a
large receptacle like the boilers in pub
lie laundries. This is almost filed
with cold water. into which at the
right moment is flung a large redhot
brick or piece Of iron, which. of course,
causes an overwhelming rush Of steam
to ascend and almost choke you. Then
when that process has gone on sufi-
GENTLY long you are shaken out Of your
hammock. immersed In cold water, and
after very drastic treatment you re-
sumo your raiment, sadder and wiser
than before your novel experience.

DIVORCE IN SCANDINAVIA.
Il 10 Very Easy to Obtain, and Il ooss
Not Cost Anything.

WV SVoS SNUySsVsttNs
In Scandinavia divorce by mutual
consent Is the recognized way. And
husband and wife may reach this agree.
ment when neither has violated any
marital obligation. The law, you see,
does not require them to wait until one
has wronged the other. But when they
have reached the point where they two
know that their real union is ended
they may secure divorce for the ask
ing. 1t doesn't cost anything There
is not even lawyer needed. The proc.
ess is simple. You notify a magistrate
that you are separating. You are not
required to go into details. You don't
have to spread your marital troubles
on court records and newspaper pages.
One reason IS as sufficient here as
when you entered into matrimony.
You simply state that you no longer
wish to continue the marriage. Then
one party to the contract goes away
for year-in Finland it is for only
three months. At the end Of the Pc
Rod the magistrate hands you the pa.
pers that dissolve the marriage as
quietly as it was made.
If. as rarely happens, mutual consent
through the refusal Of one of the con-
tracing parties cannot be secured the
process IS little longer. the probation
airy period Of one year being extended
to two. But there is always a way
out Sweden has no less than twelve
grounds for divorce. 1t is accomplish.
ed in as dignified way as any other
partnership might be dissolved.-Mabel

The Coco. Plantation.

A traveller In South America, where
the cocoa tree is largely cultivated,
speaks Of the great care with which
the young plants have to be protected
from the sun. which If very strong is
fatal to them. To secure this protec.
don the planters shield them by ba.
mana trees and plantain trees, the
broad leaves Of which give them the
needed shade. And even when they
are fully grown they need protection,
which is given by trees known as lin.
mortels." or. as the planters call them,
the mother Of the cocoa" Thus the
whole cocoa plantation has q sort Of
canopy.
