How to Clean Barrels.

Kettle with a flat wooden cover and
three-quarter-inch pipe leading
through it into the bunghole of the
barrel. A fire is built under the ket-
tie, and the steam penetrates into
every corner of the barrel. The con-
densed steam flows back through the
same pipe, depositing all dirt in the
kettle, from which it can easily be
cleared If the cover is bolted to the
kettle flange with a paper gasket be-

How Wireless Is aJammed.D

TANNING" wireless apparatus is
a practice usually resorted to by weak
err ships trying to escape, and consists
in sending a storm of electric waves
through the air with such rapidity and
strength that the pursuing ships can
not get messages Of warning through to
other vessels of their fleet. This plan
was frequently resorted to by German
sea raiders in the early stages Of the
war The Goeben and Breslau, Ger
man cruisers, which were thought
penned in the Adriatic by British
fleet, jammed the messages of the YES
sells that sighted them, and succeeded
in getting out of the Straits of OF
ranto and into the shelter of the Oar
danelles. When the Karlsruhe ex-
changed shots with the British cruiser
Bristol during a running fight in East
Indian waters it succeeded in jamming
radiograms SO that other British cruis-
ers in the vicinity did not get the
Karlsruhe's location in time to come
up with her. AS a result the German
vessel escaped into South American
waters, and continued to raid British
shipping for some months.

WHY
Music Is Essential Feature of
Soldiers Life

The association of musical sounds
and colors is usually rated thing for
people whose hyper-aestheticism
ranges toward the elevation of crank
dom. This, we discover, is a grave err
ror. Color music finds champions In
not merely the healthy but in the very
keepers of health, the men of medi-
cine. We have the following from the
editorial typewriter of the Medical
Record:
During the war, the psychological
Importance Of music has been demon
strated, and it is now recognized as
an essential feature in the soldiers
life. 1t is therefore of particular in
terest just now to note what may be
termed new departure in music;
though the idea may not be new, it
has never been put to any extensive
practical use, and color music is still
more or less an unknown quantity.
Ceases are cited of pianists who had
been unable to memorize and who
therefore could not appear in public,
but who by means of color music COM
mitted to memory and played most ad-
vanced and difficult compositions after
a few hours study of the manuscript.
An interesting story is recorded of a
young girl who naturally associated
music and color and when asking for
particular piece would say that
pink tune, or that red tune
ut is thought that children with
their receptive minds will be able cas-
lily to assimil2te this new teaching ba-
sis. It might even prove means of
eleyating the race by increasing the
perception and love Of music"

GIFT THAT AvERTED STRIFE

How to Test Color Blindness.

There are degrees or varieties in
color-blindness, and the United States
public health service finds that, while
8.6 per cent of men and % per cent
of women are affected to some extent,
it can be regarded as dangerous to
81 per cent of men and or per cent
of women. These are persons who
cannot safely be intrusted with any
service requiring the recognition of
colored signal lights. Placed in the
dangerously affected class are those
who are able to see less than four
colors in the spectrum; those able to
see more than three colors but who
have the red end so shortened as to
fail TO detect a red light two miles
away; and those with an area in the
field of vision that is wholly or partly
blind to red and green. In testing for
color-blindness, the Eldridge- Green
color lantern is preferred to the old
time method of separating colored
yarns.
