"Oh for the old-fashioned hotel

Use for Old Batteries.

In open fireplaces, especially where
wood is used for fuel, a gorgeous coll
ored-fire effect may be produced, says
Popular Mechanics magazine, by
placing one or two old dry cells among
the hot Goals. The substance with
which the top OF the battery is sealed
soon burns away, and the heat sets
up a chemical action, producing a gas
which burns with a flame of vivid
blue, purple and green. One old dry
cell will continue the spectacle for
from half to three-quarters of an hour,
depending upon the heat of the fire
in which it is placed. No danger at
taches to this production of colored
fire. 1t costs nothing. inasmuch as old
dry batteries are ordinarily worthless,
but it will provide both pleasure and
amusement at fireside gatherings.

Length Of Arms and Ieos.

According to many measurements
made at the Anthropological labora-
tory in London. the right arm in
human beings is in majority of cases
longer than the left arm. while. on
the contrary, the left leg is longer than
the right leg.
Sometimes, however the relative
proportions are exactly reversed but
seldom does perfect equality exist be-
tween the two sides. The tendency
OF the right arm to exceed the left arm
in strength is sometimes greater In
men than In women. while equality of
strength In the two arms occurs almost
twice as frequently with women ss
with men.
