Making a Magnet.

The simplest way of magnetizing
bar of steel is that known as single
touch" The bar to be magnetized is
laid on the table, and the pole of a
powerful magnet is rubbed from ten to
twenty times along its length, always
in the same direction. If the north pole
of the magnet is employed the end of
the bar first touched will also become
a north pole, while the opposite end, at
which the magnet is lifted before re-
turning, will be south pole.
There are other and more complicat-
ed methods, known as divided touch"
and double touch," in which two and
even four magnets are employed.
A steel bar can also be magnetized
by placing it within coil of insulated
wire, through which galvanic current
is circulating. The magnetism induced
In this way, however, is weak COM
pared with that which can be procured
if the same strength Of current Is en-
ployed through the Intervention of an
electromagnet.

TESTING SUBMARINES.
.s is an Easier Task Now Than II Was
Few Years Ago.

Vessels built TO. navigate under wa
ter require particular care i'll their
construction, Tor when they are sub
merged they have to withstand the
pressure OF water from all sides with
out showing the slightest leak.
The newest submarines must be able
to sink to depth Of $50 feet or more.
At such depth the pressure Is ire
mendous, and if the joints are not per
feet water squirts in as though through
a hose pipe. Ten years ago testing
new submarine was Il dangerous JOB.
She might not be watertight Her BAL
ance might not be perfect, or, again
the air system might not be equal to
blowing out the water from her tanks.
Terrible accidents have occurred LII
testing new under water boats during
actual submergence, but today all that
is q thing of the past. A testing dock
is used, which was invented by an
Italian engineer, Major laurent. 1t
is a huge cylinder, into which the sub
marine is foated. A caisson at the
end is closed and hermetically sealed.
The cylinder is built so as to stand
tremendous pressure, and pressure is
slowly applied until it equals some

The British Manicure Lady.

"In English barber shops you do not
have to pay for mirrors, elaborately
tiled floors and a manicure GIRL" writes
Homer Croy in Everybody's. "Over
there a manicurist is considered the
last vocable in the way of smartness.
The manicure girl hasn't the run of
the shop there as she has here. She
has a little cage down in one corner,
where she is bottled up as if she were
a rare liquid. When a man wants to
have any light housework done on his
hands he thrusts one of them through
the bars, while the proprietor hurries
up with a newspaper for him to read.
In America we would be insulted if
the owner of the shop put something
into our hands to read while the mani
cure girl was working on us. In Eng
land the art of jollying the manicurist
is unknown"

FALLING Up Out of a Balloon.

If a man falls out of a rising aero
plane or balloon he will not go toward
the earth, but will continue rising into
the air for an appreciable time. If
the air machine were stopped in it's
ascent at the time it could catch the
man as he came down. If the airship
were ascending at the rate of thirty
two feet second the man would rise
sixteen feet before beginning to fall
toward the earth. Thus, by reducing
the speed Of its ascent, the vessel
might keep by the side Of the man and
rescue him. The reason why the man
rises is the same as the reason for a
bullets rising when shot from gun
into the air-both the man and the
bullet are given velocity upward, and
it takes some time for gravity to mega
tive that velocity.

Outside the House.

How many beautiful homes ON which
money has been speut laviSlly to make
them complete arc marled by some de
feet in the Landscape work! A few
hours motor trip through the suburbs
of almost any city III the country viii
reveal many such cases. The most fire.
quent jar the trained eye receives is
from the poorly laid out walks aud
driveways in which badly arranged
curves are used or walks made to curve
around an oval grass plot placed in the
center for no other reason than to
make pedestrians take time to circle
about that particular grass plot. Post
men. messenger boys and others take
a short cut, and soon path in the
proper direction is worn across the sod.
When a curve is used in walk or
driveway there should be reason for
it. If there is no other reason plant
one; place tree or two or shrubs in a
position so the curve will seem neces-
sary. People then will keep on the
walk, aid the plan will seem reason
able.-New York Sun.

The Use Of Candy.

Pure candy is good for children. Pure
sugar is good for grown people. OF
course there are exceptions to every
rule. If the doctor prescribes diet
and orders a patient to refrain from
sweets the patient is bound to obey
his adviser. What is the use Of calling
physician and paying him for sug-
gestions if the latter are treated with
Indifference? People in ordinary health
need not be afraid to crafty an appe-
tite which Graves sweets. Those who
have looked into the matter have been
telling us lately that soldiers on the
march hold out better if they have
rations of sugar than if their food
omits this useful commodity. A fond
ness for sugar is often a defense
against the temptation to use alcoholic
stimulants. The inebriate does not care
very much about pure sweets.

Room For Thrift.

The American Society For Thrift is
sounding a warning that should not go
unheeded. The statistics it has gath
cred indicate how reckless we are with
our money and how little we lay up for
a rainy day. We are pre-eminently a
nation of spenders who believe in liv-
ing while we live.
Statistics show that ninety-five Of
every hundred Americans who reach
the age of sixty are dependent upon
their daily earnings Or on others for
support. The total, Of course, includes
wives, mothers and daughters who had
not tried nor expected to accumulate
competency. But after they are elm
mated the percentage of workers who
have a nest egg at sixty is very small,
even if that is generally considered too
young for retirement

CLAWS OF THE CANARY.
They Should Be Carefully Trimmed
Every Few Months.

As a canary grows old it win be no.
ticed that its claws get long and catch
on the perches and wires as 1t hops
about the cage. In state Of nature
the activity Of the bird as it moves
about on the ground or among twigs
and limbs keeps the claws properly
worn down. Confined in a cage, the
canary is less active, and, while the
rate Of growth Of the claws remains
the same, they are subject to much less
abrasion.
1t is necessary therefore to trim them
with pair Of sharp scissors every few
months. 1t is important to watch the
condition Of the claws carefully, as by
catching they may cause broken leg.
In each claw a slender blood vessel ex-
tends well down toward the tip. This
may be seen ON close examination
through the transparent sheath of the
claw. In trimming cut well beyond
this canal and take special care not to
break the leg while handling the bird.
In cage birds the horny covering of
the bill as well as the claws sometimes
becomes distorted through growth with
out sufficient wear. The tips of the
mandibles may be pared down with a
sharp knife, but care must be taken
not to cut deep enough to reach the
quick.-United States Department of
Agriculture Bulletin.
