POWER OF WATER.
Tiny Stream That Would Turn a Rifle
Bullet From Its Course,

a stream Of water considerably
less than one inch in diameter,
which moves with such amazing
velocity that it cannot be cut by a
bullet or by the finest tempered
sword, is described in the Popular
Science Monthly.
"a factory in Grenoble. France"
we are told. "utilizes the water Of a
reservoir situated in the mountains
at a height of 900 yards. The water
reaches the factory through a %verti-
cal tube of the same length With a
diameter Of considerably less than
an inch, the jet being used to move
i turbine. Experiments have shown
that the strongest men cannot cut
the jet with the best tempered
sword, aud in some instances he
blade has been broken into frag-
ments without detecting a drop Of
the water and with as much vio-
lence as a pane of glass may be
shattered by a blow from an iron
bar, 1t has been calculated that a
jet of water a small fraction of an
inch in thickness, moving with suffi-
cicnt velocity, could not be cut by a
rifle bullet.
"The engineers Of some big wa
ter power projects Of the far west
are willing to wager that a 200
pound man. swinging a four pound
ak with all his might, cannot make
a dent in the water as it energies
from the nozzle at the power house,
Burving an AK in a stream of water
looks like chi7d's play. and the ay.
crage 900 pound visitor is likely to
bite He Invariably loses. 50 great
is the velocity Of the water cmerg-
ing from the nozzle in these modern
power plants than an ak. no matter
how keen its edge, is whirlcd from
the hands Of tho AMMAN as soon as
it touches tho water. The water
travels under a pressure exceeding
500 pounds to the square inch in
many instances, and no power on
earth can turn it off at the nozzle
once it gains momentum. It has
the same effect on ones fingers as a
rough emery wheel and will shave a
plank with the nicely of a razor
edged plane"

Shocked Her.

She was a peerless and fondly
imagined that she looked the part
as she entered the little chemists
shop in a remote village and asked
for a rough washing glove. She be-
licvcd in plenty Of friction being
good for the complexion.
The chemist brought out a box
full of washing gloves and showed
her one or two.
"They're not rough enough" said
her ladyship despairingly.
So the man rummaged carefully
through the box. At last he held
one out to her and exclaimed tri-
umphantly:
"This is just the thing, ma'am.
That1l get the dirt off niccly."-

TRIED TO BEAT THE WIRE
The Result Of an Experiment When the
Telegraph Was New.

When the first telegraph message
was sent from Baltimore to Wash
ington in May, 1914, it naturally
created great excitement and spccu-
lation ov( the entire country.
Along tho Nlson river people were
especially interested because they
heard that a line was to be built
from Now York to Albany.
The work progressed slowly dur
ing the summer, and farmers for
miles around came down to the
state road whenever they had 4
spare moment to see what the
strange contrivance looked like.
They shook their heads doubtfully
at each other and would say.
"Thcre's nothing to it, "Trees and
wire can't carry Words" or Even
gossip won't travel over a thread"
Prophets were numerous who de-
clarcd that in less than a year the
wires would be rustcd and the poles
blown over by the wind.
As tho time for its completion
drew neal curiosity increased. Then
the editor Of the New York Herald
offered $1,000 for the first copy Of
the governors message, road before
the state assembly in Albany on
Jan. 1, which should reach the news
paper Office in New York. Tho
precious document was to be deliv-
cred TO the telegraph enthusiasts
and also to a special messenger at
the same time. But as the distance
was 100 miles some ono suggested
that the people along the route get
up a relay acc. The man Who re-
ccivcd the copy from the governors
hand was to carry it ten miles and
deliver it to the next rider. He in
turn hurried with it to the third
one waiting, and SO on until New
York and victory were reached.
What would become of the paper
given to the agent of the telegraph
company no ono had an idea.
Tho day Of the race was clear and
cold. with everything in readiness.
All along the road men, women and
children had gathered to see the
riders.
When the last rider reached the
city he heard ncwsbovs calling an
extra. Suddenly it dawncl on him,
and he pulled his horse up short.

Watering the Horse,

1t is allowable when a horse is,
hot to let him have three or four
swallows of cool water, but no more.
The few swallows will help cool
him, and another limited drink may|
be given every few minutes for fourI
or five times, after. which he may
drink his fill without danger. In
careless or inexperienced hands,
however, the only safe way is to let
the horse stand for half an hour or
more with no water until he is fair
ly cooled off.

There are three good ways to
can fruit and as many freak ways
are invented annually.
Housekeepers who have once
confused novel and scientific
processes and paid the price in
moldy or fermented fruit, or
bursted cans generally stop ex-
perimenting, and return to moth
er's safe way of stewing the fruit
In sugar and water and sealing it
up in sterilized cans.
There are, however, much bet
ter methods, but some require a
considerable investment in a
special type of steamer or water
bath.
Though desirable because they
simplify the operation, such out
fits are not necessary. Any good
cook can put up fruit success
fully after any method IL she will
study the first principles of can
ming.
THE SUCCESS OF ALL CAN.
MING PROCESSES DEPENDS
UPON PERFECT STERILIZA.
TON.
To sterilize a substance is to
kill all germ life. 1t means de-
struction of bacteria and yeasts,
minute organisms which exist in
the air, water, soil. and on all
vegetable and animal substances.
Bacteria and yeasts can be de-
stroyed by heat. Therefore all
appliances used in canning, the
stewpans, spoons, strainers, tum-
blers, bottles and glass jars
should be put over the fire in
cold water, heated gradually, and
boiled 10 to Is minutes.
Jars should not be removed
from the boiling water until
they are to be filled. Use only
fresh rubber rings. 1t is false
economy to save an old rubber
ring at the risk of fruit, sugar,
can and labor.
Whether the fruit is cooked on
top of the stove or in the oven Is
matter of convenience and pref
erence.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1916-07-26
OVEN
CANNING

In oven cookery the fruit re-
tains its shape, color and flavor
better than when cooked in the
preserving kettle.
Cover the bottom of the oven
with sheet of asbestos, the kind
plumbers use in covering pipes.
If this is not to be had, put into
the oven shallow pans contain
ing about two inches of boiling
water.
Sterilize the jars and cans.
Make a syrup of sugar and water.
Wash and otherwise prepare the
fruit. Pack the hot jars with
fruit and fill with syrup. Run
the blade of a knife around the
inside of jar.
Place jars in oven, either on
the asbestos sheet or in the pan
of water. Have the oven moder-
ately hot. Cook the fruit from
10 to Is minutes. Remove from
the oven and fill with boiling
syrup. Wipe jar and SEAL Set
jars upside down on a clean shelf
out of a draft. The next day
tighten covers and seal edge with
melted paraffin.
