If wooden dishes are to be waved
to render them fmpervious. they should
be made of a good quality of pine or
deal with an even grain, and the inside
should be sandpapered quite smooth.
Then. says Camera Craft" while the
dish is being made thoroughly warm,
to just little short of the scorching
point, using an ordinary kitchen oven,
the wax should be melted and heated
in a water bath top of the fire.
With both the dish and the wax as
hot can be conveniently handled. the
coating is applied with a brush that
is not too stiff, as evenly possible,
working in a warm atmosphere. When
the fire has gone out the dish may be
put back in the oven, so that the wood
will absorb more of the wax than it
otherwise would, leaving it there until
the next morning. With a little prac-
tice one is able to make workmanlfke

large sizes, make great saving in ex-

shooting Into Space.

The question of whether it would
ever be possible to shoot a projectile
into space, that is to say entirely off
the earth, has long been the subject
of discussion. In a detailed scientific
paper on the German Iong-ranged gun
which bombarded Paris last spring,
Major j. Mait1and-Addison, writing in
the Journal of the Royal Artillery,
says the requisite velocity of such
gun is not so very much higher than

OPPOSED OIL PIPE LINES
Teamsters Defeated Proposition
Which Had Its Origin In Brain OF
Heman Jones, Pennsylvania

It was an American. Heman Jones
OF Erie, Pa, who first conceived the
idea OF the construction of oil pipe
line. It was to be of wood four inches
In diameter, but was not executed
year later, in 1862, a bill was intro
duced into the legislature authorizing
a pipe line from Oil Creek to Kittan-
0ing, Pa, (the state In which oil was
first discovered), but it got no further.
through the opposition of 1000 team
STEERS In fact. for some years the
teamsters made impossible the sue
cess of the pipe lines. They were do
ing very well out of the existing meth
DDS of transporta ton, earning SO to
$50 day. and they viewed with vim
dictive disfavor the loss of dollars
and weekly revelries- Both in 1868
and in 1865 the teamsters wrought
havoc on the two pipe lines construct
ed in those years Eventually prog
ress gained the day, and many lines
were laid, including one 1O2 miles long
in 1880 1t was not, however, till John
D. Rockefeller and his associates took
the matter in hand, eliminating all the
old-fashioned methods Of production
and transportation, that petroleum be-
gan to be the power and profit it is to-
day. In 1860 the United States pro-
duction of petroleum was $1,000, 900
gallons. In 1917 it had risen to 3D.
40, 900 600 gallons. Gasoline is still
the chief derivative. but fuel oil has
a great future.

First to Teach Deaf Mutes.

The first American institution for
the education of the deaf and dumb
was founded in Hartford in 1917 by
DR.. Thomas H. Gallaudet who was
born in Philadelphia 131 years ago
He was educated at Yale and at
Andover Theological seminary, and
1T was his intention to enter the min
5stry- Before leaving Andover, how
ever, he had decided to devote his
life to the instruction of deaf mutes,
for whom no provision had been made
anywhere in America. He remained
at the head of the Hartford institu-
ton from 1917 until 1880, when i'll
health forced his retirement The
first systematic attempt to instruct
the deaf and dumb in Europe was
made in 1870 by Pedro de Ponce, a
Benedictfne monk of Spain. The first
British institution of this kind was
opened in Edinburgh in 1773.

extensive and in some cases connected
with the railways. The Government
is constructing more extensive wharf
accommodation and proposes to car
ry all it's railways to the waterside.
The facilities for docking are much
larger than those Of any other port in
Australia. The harbOr is very well
lighted from the great South Head
Lighthouse right up to the fartheSt
point in use.
The port of Sydney is obviously
destined to be the greatest entrepot
of the Southern world, and with judi
ciouS management should be a very
big factor in the development of for
eign trade after the war.

Harbor for a Thousand Ships.

When Governor Phillip first saw
Port Jackson, New South Wales, on
the 22d of January, 17SS, he record
ed his opinion that it was lone of the
finest harbors in the world, in which
thousand sail of the line might ride in
perfect security Roughly speaking,
that remains true today, though his
Majesty's ships of the line and the
ships of commerce are now much a s
thirty times the tonnage of the largest
Of Captain Arthur Phillips fleet. The
harbor extends fifteen miles inland,
but is so broken into by bays that
1t possesses a coast line of 200 miles,
though it does not average a mile in
width. The depth along the shores is
considerable for nearly the whole way,
and at the berths goes to sixty feet,
which is a long way in excess of the
available depth of any other port in
the world. At the entrance the low
est depth is eighty feet, and just in
side the fairway divides into two chan
ne1s, with minimum width of 700
feet, and a depth of forty feet al low
water.
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1919-06-05

The total area of water in the port
is 14,2S4 acres (about % square miles).
of which 5000 acres have a depth of
thirty-five to one hundred and sixty
feet. AS the rock shores Shelve off
rapidly from the water front, the har-
Dor being really sunken valley, al
most any depth of water likely to be
required in the future can be obtained
in this port.
These figures acquire their true
value when seen in comparison with
the corresponding figures for the other
principal ports of the world. They are
convincing evidence of the enormous
value of Sydney Harbor for shipping
purposes. The wharveS are already
