"A Foe In Sally,s Path

The evening Of spectacle that fol-

At the end of the show Sally was

as they pushed out into the aisle,
down the aisle behind the STAGE
boxes and through a narrow door
that seemed to Sally to lead straight

Suddenly a glare of light struck
Into their eyes and Sally stared
about her at the great draughty
stage where painted people moved
about, scene-shifters and electricians
stamped here and there, swearing
softly as girls got in their way, and
an intoxicating smell of perfume,
dust, cosmetics, canvas and human
eff1uvia that combines to thrill the
nostrils of the tenderfoot no less
than of the experienced "old stager,"

EASY WAY TO CRACK NUTS
Scientists Recommend Use of Liquid
Air as Best Means Of Getting
at OelectabIe Kernel.

Liquid air for cracking nuts is the
latest application Of science Science
and Invention relates that experts at
the national bureau of standards in
Washington were appealed to for a
method Of breaking the shells Of
chicha nuts without damaging the
kernels They found that it took a
weight Of nearly a ION to crack the
shells, and that after that effort the
meat of the nut was broken in many
small pieces.
Then they applied liquid air to the
problem. They did not freeze solid a
piece Of rubber and use it as a ham
mer, as is done in the classic stunt Of
physics, but they simply immersed the
nuts in liquid air for 80 seconds and
cracked them easily without damage
to the kernels. Now the physicists
are trying to find out whether this
method can he applied commercially
on a large scale.
Chicha nuts are grown in South
America. Their dense strong shells
were used during the war to make
charcoal for gas masks, and the oil
from the kernels is a valuable food
similar to copra,

There are some interesting phases
of the official statistics with reference
to the manufacture Of silk goods In
the United States, particularly those
that have to do with the early history
Of that industry.
1t appears that the making Of silk
goods in our country has grown rap
idly since the year 1860 At that time
only Is per cent Of the silk used in
the United States was homemade. In
1870 the percentage of home manu-

In 1890, 20 per cent, while at present
