To Locate a Storm.

AS soon as you locate a flash Of light
ming. count the seconds before you
hear the thunder clap and In this man
ner you can easily determine how far
away the storm is. Since light travels
$4,000 miles a second, we may for all
practical purposes regard ourselves as
seeing the lightning the instant 1t
flashes. But sound travels only 1857
feet second. Multiply 1,0S7 by the
between the flash and the thunder and
the result is the distance between you
and the storm. AS rule. from l. to
10 miles is the greatest distance thun-
der can be heard.

Easy to Make Pulled Rugs.

The handicraft of pulled rugs has
been revived, and Of all the handmade
rugs 1t is perhaps the most important
from the craftsman's point of view.
The new rugs are made In effective de-
signs and color combinations. Many
Of them are copied from the Indian
and Mexican patterns Of handicraft
and they are singularly in keeping
with this style Of rug. These rugs
are not hard to make, but it requires
some practice to attain the necessary
dexterity in handling the hook and
rags
A rug hook and frame are the i'm
plements required. Either cotton or
wool rags can be used, but the wool
rags will make a softer. more velvety
rug. Burlap is used for the foundation
and the pattern is stenciled on the
burlap before it is stretched IN the
frame. The wool or cotton rags a~e
cut into strips one-fourth Of an inch
wide. The strip is held under the
burlap foundation and pulled through
the burlap into loops, leaving about
three threads Of the burlap between
each loop. The rug hook, by which
the loops are pulled through, is ma
nipulated by the right hand, while the
strip is held underneath with the left
hand. The loops should be about
three-eighths of an inch above the
surface Of the burlap. The rug is
worked back and forth with short
quick movements, changing the color
as indicated by the stenciled pattern.
The frame, which is not unlike a
quilting frame, should be placed so
that the work can be accomplished
without STOPPING, otherwise 1t would
be tiresome. The burlap, too, must be
most securely fastened in the frame
or the finished rug will not be straight.
After the rug is finished the longest
loops are cut so as to produce an even
nap. Books containing information
about these rugs can be secured in the
public libraries and the frame and
hook for making can be purchased
where the rug outfits are sold.
