KEEPS WATER FROM FREEZING
Discovery Of Mixture Which Is Said
to Have Proved Successful Is Of
Great Importance.

A mixture which is declared to have
proved successful in preventing water
pipes from freezing is described by
Thomas w. Benson as follows:
ITO solution of thin boiled starch
add sawdust until the mixture forms a
thick paste. A fine sieve may be used
to clear this sawdust from Jumps.
Heavy cord is first wrapped around
the pipe, spacing the turns about one
half inch. A one-fourth-inch layer Of
the mixture is smeared on and allowed
to dry; then a second layer is put on
and smoothed up. The string acts as
an anchor to make the coating adhere
to the pipe closely. Whltewash or
paint may be used to give finish for
inside pipes, but for outside work COW
er the coating with hot tar. If 1t is
desired to have a very neat covering
wrap the sawdust coating with cloth
or canvas applying it in narrow strips
like a bandage."

To Explore China for Art.

DR.. Carl w. Bishop, noted author
ity on Chinese art and curator of the
section of Oriental art in the museum
of the University of Pennsylvania, will
go to China early next month to pass
three years in research work. An
nouncement on the university's deci-
sion to send Doctor Bishop to China
was made RECENTLY.
The expedition is the result Of the
museum directors desire to get COM
plete history of Chinese art, extending
back for the last 5000 years. To-
day, it was said, little is known of the
development of art in the Orient and
Doctor Bishops efforts will be direct
ed along that line.
Doctor Bishop recently passed IS
months in China and did much inves-
tigation work for the university. His
progress was hampered by revolutions
and he could not reach remote local
tiles where examples of ancient sculp-
ture have been preserved.
Doctor Bishop was born in Japan
and has passed the greater part of
his life in that country and in China.

To Prevent Iron Rust.

The one peculiar quality that all iron
or its products presents is the manner
Of its furnishing by the air, or rather
the moisture and oxides of the air. This
tarnish, unlike that of other metals,
does not adhere closely to the iron, but
scales off and is commonly called rust.
Thus any object made of iron which
lusts is constantly exposing new sur
faces of metal, so that the process
goes on and on unless it is checked.
There are two methods of preventing
iron rust. One is to keep the metal dry
and highly polished as polished sur
face does not give place for any mOis-
ture particles to adhere. Knives, tin
ware, stovepipes, ETC., which are kept
polished will not rust. The other
method to prevent rusting is to cover
the metal with a coating of oil, wax,
paint or similar substance. For in
stance, metal parts that are treated
with OIL or are lacquered or covered
with vaseline will not rust because this
oily coating prevents the air from
coming In contact with the iron.

MISSION THAT WAS GRUES0ME
Task of Burying the Dead Is orspS-
ically Described In Diary Of
French Lieutenant.

March %. Last night was detailed
with half my section to bury the dead.
The task was not pleasant one, but
1t was accomplished without reluctance
or hesitation. Having TO do the work
ut night made ii a shade more lugu-
brious. A guide conducted us to little
thicket all laid bare by grape-shot, to
the south of Perthes, and about three
kilometers from the first lines. There
was no moon, and 1t was very nearly
pitch-dark. Trench-rOckets streaked
the sky here and there, and from the
distance came the crack of musketry.
Shells were laboring by with the heavy
breathing of wild beasts in a rage.
A little trench was made into large
one to receive the bodies, and then we
had to set out in search of them. They
had been lying there for a very long
time, and 1t was only the recent ad-
vance of our lines that made it posi-
BILE to bury them. With some difficulty
we managed to make out these notion
less heaps on the ground. 1t was nee
essary to search the pockets and take
out papers, money, etc. also to unfas-
ten the identification badges that are
worn on the arm like a bracelet. 1t
was not an easy thing to do. In this,
also was obliged to set the example.
had to put my gloved hand into the
pockets of a foul mass that fell to
pieces at q touch. / found nothing
but a pocketbook and diary. The men
then took courage and overcame their
aversion.
When our task was finished the
abbe-infirmier who had accompanied
us of his own accord, stepped to the
edge of the grave and said blessing.
And that priest, standing out against
the darkness, lifting his voice above
the noise of battle in q last solemn
duty to those pitifuf~ fragments, was
very fine. Every man of us, whether
moved by religious conviction or not,
felt the solemnity Of the moment, and
knelt TO hear the words of forgiveness
and of life.-From a French Lieuten-
ants Diary, in the Atlantic.

DINNERS THAT ARE FAMOUS
Much Eccentricity INDUCED In by
Men Who Would Seem to Have
money to Burn"

OF recent years America has taken
the palm for eccentric dinners. We
have heard of the progressive" and
the dancing" menu. In the former
the guests rise between each course
and make their way, table by table,
from one end of the room to the other.
This idea has been attempted before,
but the dinner at which every course
is illustrated by some clever dancer Is
unique.
The scenery" dinner, late vogue,
was another distraction INDUCED in
by the millionaires. 1t represented
the scenery Of different countries by
models in the center of the table.
The Savoy hotel, in London, has
reputation for the giving of dinners
out of the ordinary. Here was given
the famous Red dinner, presided over
by a man who had had q run of luck
on ''rouge" at Monte Carlo. Every
thing was red, wines, dishes, glass,
decorations, even the walters gloves.
Another celebrated dinner at the
Savoy was given by the Due dOrleans
in honor of the marriage of the Due
dAosta. The 40 guests included q
scion of practically every royal house
in Europe-such blue-blooded gather
ing was never before witnessed in any
hotel.
A most expensive dinner was given
at the Carlton hotel as the result Of
lost wager made by a member Of
the stock exchange. This gentleman
bet he would carry friend picka-back
up and down Throgmorton. street In
the busiest part of the day; but when
it came to the time to carry out the
performance his courage failed him,
and he had to provide the dinner-a
heavy stake.
When the Eiffel tower was first
opened in Paris, dinners on the top
of it were of frequent occurrence, and
captive balloons and diving bells have
been used as dining-rooms for peo-
pie with a craving for things out of
the ordinary.

EskImos BEING Educated.

Education is we'll along with the es-
kimos In Alaska, for there are now
n schools for their use, with an en-
rollment Of 1858, In addition to 100
teachers, IL physicians, nine nurses,
and three hospital attendants. The
native villages are divided up into five
districts, with about fifteen schools to
the district. The first school for es-
kimos In Alaska was established as
early as 1885 at the little village Of

A Tip to Kansas.

According to report to the trade
and commerce department by the Cana
dian trade commissioner, sunflowers
grown in Canadian backwards may be
made profitable as well as ornamental.
There is a big demand for sunflower
seed in England, where it is worth
about 800 a ton, which is about five
cents n pound, delivered. In the past
sunflower seeds have been bought for
seed purposes to feed birds and poul-
try, but large quantities are now
crushed in order to extract the oil,
which is used in the manufacture Of
margarine, or artificial butter.-Toron-

FACE THE MUSIC

THIGH prices of food according TO
II David S. Kennedy, writing in the
current Review of Reviews, are due to
the withdrawal of millions of men from
productive industry by the war, to the
imitation of currency in the United
states, to the increased wages Of the
working men and to the worlds crop
shortage,
our supply of cereals in 1899 amounted
TO forty.four bushels per capita. In 1915
it had fallen to forty bushels In the
same period there has been decrease
of twenty.nine pounds of meat per capita
in the annual supply. The production of
food is not keeping pace with the growth
of population. Congress may investigate
tin the cows come home without chang
ing these facts. Until they are changed
prices viii not come down.
There is nothing new in this. but poll
tieians seem TO think they viii make
themselves stronger with their constitu-
ents if they make a show Of activity and
denounce food spectators. The truth is
we have entered on an era of high prices,

himself TO the new conditions instead Of
wasting his energy damning economic
laws.

hope you will excuse me for calling
voIr attention to what / think is an error
in YOUR recent answer-that the House OF
SaXe-Coburg and Gotha is the Tegning
house of England. Queen NctOra's hus-
band, a duke of SaXe-Coburg and Gotha,
ana a first cousin on her mothers side, had
nothing whatever to do with the throne Of
England Queen Victoria belonged to the
House of Hanover and her son, King Ed
ward. inherited the throne through her, not
through his father who was merely the
Prince ConsOrt and never allowed any
authority. The late Prince COnsOrts title
and hertages now are being enjoyed in
Germany by his youngest grandson, son
of the late Duke of Albany, he having taken
his grandfatheFs title and become traitor
to the country I'm which he was born and
bred. A similar case is that of the Queen
Of Holland, of the House of Orange. She
is married TO the Duke of MeCklenburg-
SChwern, but when her daughter comes
To the throne she will inherit 1t through
her mother, not her father; and she will
