AS SUBSTITUTES FOR VODKA
Cologne, Furniture Polish and Dena.
tured Alcohol in Great Demand In
Parts Of Russia.

The three substitutes for vodks
which are most widely used in Rus
STA are eau de cologne, furniture pol
ish and denatured alcohol.
Cologne is not very popular. In
the first place, it is very expensive
just now, and secondly, no matter
what fiavoring extracts are added TO
it, it is impossible to disguise the
taste Of the perfume.
Furniture polish is more popular,
but is much harder to obtain. 1t is
impossible to buy it at present unless
one presents a warrant from the po-
lice stating that the buyer really is
a cabinetmaker or a carpenter.
The polish is distilled so as to
separate the alcohol; sometimes it is
merely stirred with fat stick until
the shellac adheres to the latter.
Far more widely used and far
more deleterious in its effect is the
denatured spirit. This is not wood
alcohol, but pure spirit COS per cent
proof, with an admixture of wood
alcohol, acetone, ketone and a dash
of dye.
The admixture amounts to about
5 per cent of the fluid volume, and is
supposed to render it impossible Of
use for drinking purposes. The in
ventive Russian, however, gets
around this very cleverly.-Atlantic

MOST EXPENSIVE CORAL

The long-neglected coral is COM
ing into its own again in, the max
ing of ornaments for milady. Much
of the beauty of the carving has Of
late been lost, because many Italian
carvers have been sent with the ar
mics in the great European war, but
the japanese have taken hold of the
industry and have made considerable
advance in its development.
Aside from the carving, the color
Of the coral has a great deal to do
with the value placed upon it. The
most expensive is 'boke," a pale
ounce color. Single beads of this
color, suitable for manufacture into
ornamental hairpins, bring from SIC
to $50 each. The next color in value
is pink, followed by white, light red
and dark red.

This morning Mr.. Bayley preached a

sion and thoughtful in preparation To
him the business of the church Is the
famous task of doing the will of God
by carrying among men the character
OF God. a Justice that is more than
compassion and a love that is bigger

Mr.. Bayley, therefore, is a teacher

NASE's experiences and sensations
II on his frst airplane trip over the
~ the enemy lines are too confused
and crowded to be analysed or de-
scribed. After one has made hun
dred such expeditions, he can describe
his experiences clearly enough, but ne
ceases to appreciate the sensations. 1t
has become purely matter of busi-
ness. and what he sees and feels ne
can describe only from the STANDPOINT
of an aviator. From this viewpoint
the work "above the clouds" assumes
an aspect wholly different from that 1t
appears to have to the man in the
trenches.
We go over the lines whenever the
weather permits. and our experiences
from day to day differ little except
in quantity. Our trip over yesterday
furnishes very nearly typical exam
pie Of what we can expect to meet In
this business. 1t was early in, the
morning that the cyclist brought
around the order in the form of
small map showing the German

| one particular area embracing per-
haps a dozen square miles. outlined in

Our airp1anes are all equipped with
a wireless sending apparatus and, as
observer. my business would be to send
| back any news and to note on the map
| the location of the batteries seen in
action; but the groundwork of the re-
lconnaissance would be some carefully
chosen photographs taken over the
new German defenses. The camera, a
40-pound, specially constructed affair,
was hung on springs in the body of
/ the machine and off each plate that

some to be studied here in the sector,

and some would even reach the gem

| these photographs, compared with
| those taken on the previous reconnais-

exactly how much digging the Ger
mans had done in the past week. This

in correcting the maps. but from it.

channels, the staff officers would to
