the oven rack may be put on the bot
tom and the jars placed in dripping
pan with a little water in 1t, enough
to send up steam all the time they are
cooking. The jars are'filled with fruit
and then hot sirup poured In to near
ly fill them. Place in the oven on the
asbestos sheet, being careful that the
jars do not touch each other or the
sides of the oven where the heat is
greatest. When the slrup bolls up
and flows over the tops of the fruit,
remove the Jars, fill with boiling sirup,
put on sterile rubbers and new tops
and seal. For small fruits 10 to Is
minutes In hot oven is sufficient time
to cook well, but with firm, larger
fruits, like peaches. pears and plums,
a longer time Will be needed. 1t is
wise to take out a piece of fruit and
try 1t with a spoon to see II 1t is well
cooked before filling and sealing the
cans.
The advantage of this method is
that the fruit may be put into the
sterile jars the night before and while
breakfast Is preparing the cooking can
go on, the cans nlled ana all out of
the way before the work of the day
begins.
Another method very popular among
campers where the wild fruit is picked
and put up In the woods with few
things to work with, is the following:
Put the fresh fruit into sterile Jars
with good tops and new rubbers, fill
ing the jars to overlooking with hot
sirup of any richness desired, seal and
place In boiler, pour in boiling wa
ter to cover the Jars to depth of two
inches. Put on the boiler cover and
pack rugs. carpets or anything to
keep the heat, leave "a hours, take out
the cans, screwing them to be sure
they are perfectly air tight wrap jars
or put In dark. cool place.

To Measure Clouds.

The Comb nephonscope is device
for measuring the speed Of clouds. 1t
consists of an upright brass rod about
nine feet LONG, bearing at its upper end
n crosspiece to which number of
equldlstant vertical spikes are at
tached. The observer turns to the
crossplece until the cloud appears to
travel along the line of spikes, and
notes the time it takes to pass from
spike to spike. This forms a basis
from which he reckons the speed.

1t remains to be seen whether the
Town of Smyrna has made a good in
vestment in building the section of
concrete road at the Eastern end of
Commerce street. 1t has cost consid-
erable money for this 881 foot stretch,
even to the point of reducing the bal
ance in the treasury materially, but
as costly as it seems there is no money
wasted when judiciously spent in per-
manent work and if said roadbed
stands the permanent test tax payers
will have no cause to grumble.
