"cood Angel" Unappreciated.

Many times our best angels are not
appreciated. The very fact that we
are so accustomed to their ministry
makes them commonplace. Bill was
handy man at a certain college. lie
didn't get rich on what he did but he
knew more about things than any one
there. He just naturally took the re-
sponsibility for everything. But no
one appreciated him. In fact he be-
came something of joke and every
body took occasion to shove off re-
sponsibility on him knowing that ne
could be counted on putting anything
through that he undertook. So they
worked the willing horse until he was
picked up by more, appreciative con-
Germ and the college lost good angel.
Incidentally I might add, two men and
a typist are doing the same work.

New Grade of Rubber.

Chrysil, a new high grade rubber, Is
vulcanized without difficulty. 1t is pro-
duced by the Chrysothamnus, or rab-
bit bush, a genus of shrubs yielding
in different species from 1893 to 2,83
per cent, and in one individual plant
as high as $751; Of Chrysothamnus
nauseosus, the chief species, p vari-
cites are known, IL of them contain
ing chrysil. The plants are large
shrubs, maturing in six or eight years,
with an average weight of four
to six pounds, and abound in many
parts of North America. The rubber
occurring in the cells and not as, a
latex concentrates near the soil line.

USING THE SUN AS A STOVE
Dewles Invented by American Scion.
tlst Is Acknowledged Valuable
Fuel Saver.

Baking bread and roasting meat on
the summit Of q mountain without fuel
Is possible by the use of device
invented by scientist of the Smith
sonian institution, Washington, D. @.
The intensity of the suns rays is har-
messed. the unusual energy is capital
lied, and food can be cooked beyond
the line Of perpetual SHOWS.
An astronomical mirror at the
Smithsonian institution is capable of
receiving and measuring the energy
of the sun rays, calculating that in
summer the solar luminary transmits
upon each acre Of land energy equiv
alent to 1900 horsepower.
The so-termed "solar cooker con-
sists Of half-cylinder of iron lined
with mirror glass, which catches the
rays of the sun and concentrates them
upon metal tube that is the half
cylinders axis The tube contains OIL
which expands and becomes lighter, by
the heat as it passes through the tube.
The latter is continued to form loop
outside the half-cylinder, thus making
a sort of endless chain.
Passing through the loop, the oil
cools. However, the suns heat forcing
the oil through the portion of the tube
inside the half-cylinder, compels the
cooled Oil to follow it, otherwise there
would be vacuum. So while the sun
shines there is a continuous circula-
ton Of oil. The '1oop" passes through
a box which contains an oven. Heat
from the oil warns the oven and does
the desired cooking.

Incendiary Bullets.

The incendiary bullets used during
the war, mostly fired from machine
guns carried by airplanes, were in
effect miniature high explosive shells.
Those supplied to our armies (mil-
lions of them were made at the Frank
ford arsenaD were of brass, followed
out to hold a composition of which
the principal ingredient was barium
nitrate. To set this off, each bullet
had a printing charge of magnesium
and red lead.
An ordinary rifle bullet, of course
is solid. The incendiary bullet is OF
wholly different construction, though
of the same caliber, being meant to
carry flame. It's discharge sets fire
to the explosive stuff contained in it
