The Rocking of Lake Erie.

The 90 mile trcrri OF Lake Efs
lies approximately il the direction OF
the west to southwest winds which
prevail III that part Of the country.
Thus the lake offers an excellent op-
portunity for studying the effects of
the wind upon Il large body of inclosed
water. and very interesting these ef-
fects sometimes prove. Rhythmic gusts
produce a rocking motion, and great
blows from the west or southwest
sweep the liquid body of the lake east
ward and sometimes cause rise Of
eight feet or more at Buffalo in the
course Of few hours. AS soon as
the maximum force of the gale has
passed the water swings back. Con-
tinued rockings are observed on days
when the strength of the wind fuctu-

First, from the cabinetmaker he re-
ceives the woodwork upon which his
design will be formed 1t may be the
top Of a carved chest, a portion of a
stool or table or some dainty knick-
knack to delight a ladys heart.
Then upon the wood he roughly
draws the design and gathers together
the crude pieces with which to form
the mosaic in the wood. Selecting a
piece of mother of pearl. he fits 1t in
vice, and then with a tiny file he
shapes 1t to occupy the required space.
Deity he sets the section in the wood.

crevices.
Another piece is then selected. fash

sign is then rubbed with punlice stone
to give enhanced color. varnish is ap-
piled, and the finishing touches are
given.

Marconi's Appropriate Drawinq.

Mrs. Alec Tweedies book dealing

Among the little drawings on one

lis telegraph pole from which hangs
a broken wire.
"Can you guess who drew it? The
artist was sitting beside me when
begged for something more than a
name. He quietly replied:
"'Well. | can draw little if l have

dessert waiting
"'No, no, I'll try to he quick. Would

Needless to add. the guest in question
was Signor Marconi, the inventor of
wireless telegraphy.

Preserving Tomatoes
In the Form of Paste

Canned tomatoes form very impor-
tant part of the diet of the ordinary
family. The canned product consists
Of about So per cent water. Because
of the scarcity and high price of tin,
cans and jars this season it will be
by canning tomatoes in their natural
state. They may be concentrated to
about one-eighth or one-tenth the orig
mal volume, and the concentrated prod
uct will contain all of the food value
and all of the flavor and color of the
fresh tomatoes. The concentrated
product is called tomato paste or Ital-
ian conserve. The following method of
manufacture as recommended by the
University of California is applicable
to household conditions and results in
a product containing all of the value
of the fresh vegetables:
Boil the tomatoes until tender. Crush
thoroughly and pass through a fine
sieve or screen to take out the skins
and woody portions of the pulp. Place
the strained pulp and juice in shall
low pan and boil down over a slow fire
10 thick consistency. Do not boil un-
Ill it begins to scorch. Boil down as
far as possible without scorching
Then place pan at the back of the
stove, where the heat is not sufficient
to cause the paste to stick to the bot
tom of the pan and scorch. Allow it
to evaporate under these conditions
very slowly until it becomes very thick
and pasty-that is. until it reaches
about the consistency of peanut butter.
1t should then be packed into scalded
jars hot. The jars should be sterilized
in wash boiler sterilizer for one hour
The jars should then be sealed.

HOLES IN MACARONl.
DiG You Ever Wonder How the Dough
Was Put Around Them?

Haven't you often asked, How do
they get the holes in macaroni?" Yes,
you undoubtedly have, and unless you
have visited a macaroni factory you
are probably still in doubt. Interest
ing methods are employed in bringing
this food into the form in which 1t is
placed before the public.
After the dough has been well mixed
and kneaded In a powerful machine it
Is ready to form into macaroni, which
is Of tube shape about one-fourth inch
in diameter, Or spaghetti, which is
solid stick shape Of about one-eighth
inch in diameter. This is done by fore
ing the dough under hydraulic pressure
through cylinder with fiat circular
bronze die or mold at the bottom. The
macaroni die is full of holes about one
fourth inch In diameter, and each hole
has a small pin in the center Of 1t,
which Is attached to one side Of the
macaroni and divides the dough on one
side as it starts through the hole, but
before the dough reaches the end of
the hole the divided side comes to-
gether and remains SO, making a per-
feet tube. The spaghetti die contains
only plain holes about one-eighth inch
In diameter arranged in groups. When
macaroni and spaghetti come from the
presses or cylinders they are cut into
certain lengths, the length depending
upon whether the curing or drying is
to be done on trays or by hanging over
rods.-Exchange.

DEALING IN STOCKS.
Know What You Are Buying Bsfers
Investing Your Money.

We hear Of fortunes quickly made In
Wall street, of miners who have accu-
mulated enormous wealth by lucky
strike. of inventions that have made
inventors rich. But how many Of
these instances are there? Just few
while countless thousands and hun
dreds of thousands have lost every
thing In unsuccessful ventures.
The prosperous, succeSsful man or
woman Is the one who buys with
knowledge of what he or she is buying
whether 1t be piece Of beef dozen
eggs. a horse, a house or stocks and
bonds.
Money has been made In Wall street
and will continue to be made. Those
who buy stocks when they sell low and
sell them when they advance must
make money. The operation is no diff
ferent from buying house or farm
at bargain and selling it at profit
But one should exercise just as much
care In one transaction as in the other.
Have nothing to do with those who
offer glittering opportunities to get rich
quickly. This will save your money.
1t may sound very nice to say that one
owns thousand shares of gold, sill
yer or copper mine with par value of
$4,000 and that cost the holder only
$50 or 500. But what use is such
certificate unless 1t has real value?
Better put the $50 or 500 in one share
of dividend paying stock and be sat-
isfed with moderate returns and a
moderate profit on any advance the
stock may enjoy.-Leslie's Weekly.

Apple or Onion?

No one would for q moment imagine
any one mistaking an onion for an ap-
pie. But don't be too sure. Some day
when you have nothing else to do cut
small square Of onion and square OF
apple of the same size, close your eyes
and hold your nose tightly and then
get some one to hand you one OF the
squares without telling you which one
it is You would be well advised not
to wager any money on being able 10
tell by chewing which it is. The expia-
nation is that large part of what we
call taste is really smell.-Pearsons

never considered a man as educated
just because he could talk a long time

him as educated if set down before
some hard, unknown subject or task
he could in two hours make something
out of it. Judge DAILY, brother of Au-

his brother at the ages of twelve and
