Usinu Old Tin Cans.

We used to have some thrifty for
eign neighbors who always used their
tin cans several times over, says the
Syracuse Post-Standard. In opening
q No. tomato or other can, place the
can bottom upward and lay a big,
very hot coal on the central circle or
cap. In minute remove the coal,
when the tin cap is easily lifted. Re-
move the contents of the can immedi-
ately, wash, dry thoroughly and store
In a dry place. saving the little circu-
lar tin centers for use again. When
1t Is wished to use the can again In
preserving tomatoes, berries or other
foods, proceed as with a new tin can.
II one is at all handy with the solder
ing iron the can is resoidered with no
trouble at all. Never put tomato or
acid fruits In any but tomato or berry
cans, as such have been specially
treated to withstand the action Of the
acids. Corn, peas, beans, ETC., can be
put in used tin cans In which such
vegetables came, If they were opened
properly. Try your hand first at open
ing and resoldering any old tin can.
The work is very easily done.

80-foot "chasers,r NILS they are
called, is interesting. Each carries
besides Its deck gun, depth charge
six "lance bombs" and rife for each

The story Of the lance bombs goes
like this: A British destroyer was
once placed in the embarrassing posi-
ton of having U-boat bob up right
alongside. 1t was impossible to de-
press the guns sufficiently to strafe
the stranger, and there WAS nothing
else to strafe him with. What hap.
pened to the destroyer I can't say,
hut 1t must have got away to tell the
story, for each boat is now provided
with lance bombs for Just such emer-
gencies, says William Washburn Nut
ting In Golfers Weekly.
The lance bomb Is q 14-pound con-
tact bomb on the end Of six-foot han
die, the idea being to use 1t at close
range by hurting 1t much as an ath-
lete throws the hammer. These are
loaded with awful posi-
bilities In the hands Of an amateur,
and the surest road to unpopularity
with ones shipmstes is to suggest q
lance bomb rehearsal.

something that he or she can do bet

tude, and In one In thousand this ap-
titude' is developed into something sx-
traordinary. 1t then amounts to natur-
al insight and constitutes genius Now,

HOW WORLD KEEPS BALANCE
Permanence Of Continents Explained
by Biologists as Due to Greater
LIQhtness Of Rock Of Land.

1t Is comparatively new theory
tinents, though their surfaces are on
the average about three miles higher
than the sea bottom, as due to the
greater lightness of the rocks Of the
land. At various periods In geological
history the balance thus established
has been disturbed by the forcing up
or depressing of portions Of the
earth's crust, and the disturbances
seem to have been followed by slow
settling or rising to the point Of stable
equilibrium.
Late researches by the coast and
geodetic survey prove satisfactorily
that the mountains of the United
States at least retain their places
through their low density instead Of
being held up by the rigidity o.
strength of the earth's materials. The
lightest gases rise highest, and are
kept above the general level as Ice
bergs rise higher than the denser wa
ter in which they float. The differ
ences in the density Of continental and
suboceanic materials are believed to
continue down to a depth Of about
sixty miles. The normal condition ID
considered to be that In the large river
valleys and under the coastal plains.
and the material below sea level IL
heavier than normal down to sixty
miles.

Electrically Heated MIne Ambulance.

Electrically 1eAteo mho
A useful form of ambulance is being
introduced in one Of the mines OF one
of the Western states. Formerly II
was usual, when an accident occurred
in the mine, to place the Injured man
on a stretcher, transporting him to the
surface In a mine car. As the distance
to be travelled might be from three 10
four miles and against the high We.
locity intake current Of air, the injured
men often became chilled and this re-
tarded recovery. The difficulty has
now been oysrcome by the use OF a
specially desl ambulance, which Is
electrically heaS and lighted, and Ia
equipped with cot suspended on
springs to obvia any 1arrns. Inc

WHY KISSES GIVE A THRILL
II Is When Chemical Elements in
Man and a Woman Blend Properly
That They Are Really Mated

An eminent psycopath has lkened Il
kiss to the stroking of cat, and says
that the longer you kiss the same
woman the less the thrill you get in re
turn.
Love is an electro-chemical action
and he who says the same effect that Is
derived from a kiss can be obtained
from the stroling of cat is theorisi
and is taking into consideration only
the electro part Of the action. It is
likely that the learned psycopath is not
a man from the great school of expert.
ence, or that he has never been for,
tunate enough to come in contact with
the human magnet that did not repel
him.
Compare two human beings, male
and female, with two large storage bat
teries highly charged.
The action to which the batteries are
subjected wears them out as time goes
on. They work tremendously, and so II
Is with man and woman. SO long
as she is magnetic she draws the man
to her, and the same thrill is there, but
once she begins to repel, then the mag
net ceases to perform its functions
and the thrill is gone.
Who would be satisfied to stroke the
back of a pretty cat to bring about the
thrill they have experienced when
brought in contact with the magnet
that attracted them?
When the chemical elements In a
man and a woman blend properly that
is when they are mated; the kiss never
loses Its thrlp Chicago Herald.

He blames the war for the shortage.
"Men simply cannot be obtained"
declared DR.. DeBusk, "and there are
nowhere nearly enough women with
the requisite preparation to fill the
demand. The shortage exists not only
in Oregon, but all over the west. Some
of the most urgent requests for rec
