This Is a dead loss to the nation

Round Bottom Buckets Best.
ANY kind of bucket filed with water
and placed handily is good, but spe-
cial fire buckets with rounded bottoms
like kettle are best. There Is no
temptation to use such buckets for
ordinary purposes and they are much
more likely to be left hung on the
brackets or in the round holes cut for
them in shelves. Any kind of fire
buckets should be specially painted or
labeled and never used for any pur-
pose other than fire fighting. They
should be placed near entrances ana
near the top of stairways or ladders
where they can easily be reached on
entering the building or loft. Several
buckets nestled in a barrel of water
are an effective device.
Needless to say, the fire buckets
should always be kept filled by replac-
ing the water lost by evaporation.

Cavite Flashes Time Over Pacific.

Since October l the radio station at
Cavite, cooperating with the Philip

observatory, has been sending out
time signals Of the 120th meridian

For the purpose of sending time sig

continue for five minutes. During this
interval every tick of the clock Is
transmitted, except the 28th, Goth,

TAKES PLACE OF GASOLINE
Mixture of Alcohol and BenzoI Has
Been Found to Be a Satisfac-
tory Substitute.

The high cost of gasoline Is becom-l
and scientists all over the world haveI
attempted to find substitute. In Ger
many, where gasoline is almost unob-
tainable, it Is understood that new
proved satisfactory. A writer in the
Scientific American gives the following
table as an indication of the results
achieved: {

ordinary carburetor made AZ miles an
hour and ran a distance Of 4.66 miles.
upon one pint of the fuel. With one
part benzol and two parts alcohol the
speed was Al miles and the distance
covered AIT miles. This shaded down
to SO miles an hour and 3,72 miles On
D mixture of one part benzol and FIVE
parts alcohol.
The same car, operated with pure
benzol, acquired q speed of AZ miles an
hour and ran a distance of $40 upon
one pint Of fuel. With pure gasoline
1t made A miles an hour, running 800
miles.
Alcohol is easily obtainable, and ben
zol in large quantities is now being dis
titled In both the United States and
Germany from coal tar. So the mix
ture, as worked out by the Germans,
can be had cheaper than gasoline, and
the results are almost as good. In the
case Of Germany, the discovery has
been boon of inestimable value.
