To clean Aluminium.

This is so much used now, owing 20
its lightness, cleanliness and its at
tractive appearance, that perhaps
word or two as to Its preservation ana
cleaning may be Of service to some OF
my young housewives. As soon as any
utensil is done with, either saucepan,
kettle or teapot, wash 1t out at once.
It is sometimes necessary to make
warm lather, and pour this into the
saucepan or frying pan, and with
soft cloth wash out the inside; rinse
and dry at once. The kettle should
be turned upside down when not re-
uuired for some hours, so that all the
moisture drains out through the
sprout. Teapots should never stana
with tea In them after the meal, but
emptied, rinsed and wiped dry with q
clean cloth, then turned upside down
for the spout to drain dry. Soda
should not be used on any account.
To polish the outside wash with warm
soapy water dry and dust a little fne
whiting on a soft cloth and rub the
surface with it, using leather after
ward as finish. Metal polish, invalu-
able for brasses, Is not suitable fol

LIVE THOUSANDS OF YEARS
Idea That Some Trees Are immortal
Has Been Gravely Asserted by
Many Naturailsts-

The idea Of Immortality in trees Is
often met with in the works of the
ancients observes a writer In the New
York Sun. The historian, Josephus,
In his Jewish War" relates that in
his day there was near the city OF
Elbron turpentine tree which was
as old as the days Of Adam,
1t was reserved for modern natural
lists to show that these assertions,
however extraordinary they may ap-
pear, are still correct, and that many
Of our trees in some sort indestruct-
ible may have seen the nnal scene OF
creation and, after braying the action
of so many ages, are still upright
and living to this day.
1t is now over a hundred years since
Adanson, by ingenious calculations,
showed the learned that such ideas,
though extraordinary are yet facts OF
the most scrupulous exactitude. This
naturalist by a happy chance found IN
the interior Of the trunk Of the baobab
in one Of the Cape Verde islands an
inscription which had been traced on
it by the English 800 years previously.
Starting from this point and compar-
ing the diameters Of the stems OF
many of these bulky trees, the French
savant succeeded in proving that the
most vigorous of these primitive in
habitants of the African forests might
be at least 5000 years old,

HOW SOUND is TRANSMITTED
Vibration of the Air Brings 1t to the
Ear-TraveIs Faster in Summer
Than in Winter.

Sound is transmitted to the ear
by the vibration of the air. When
one particle of air is made to vibrate
1t sets the adjacent particles to vi
brating, and so sound wave, If not
obstructed, passes In all directions
from the sounding body. The calcu-
lated velocity Of sound In the air
when the temperature is at freezing
point Is 915.69 feet per second When
the temperature increases, sound
travels faster, and the rate has been
calculated at little more than one
foot per second for each degree OF
rise in Fahrenheit's thermometer.
Contrary to popular belief, sound
travels faster In summer than In
winter, and In warm than In cold
climates. 1t might be thought that
sound would travel more slowly
through dense atmosphere but the
elasticity increases as rapidly as the
density. and, therefore, the velocity
OF sound is not affected by varying
density. The velocity Of sound In
water, when at the greatest density, is
47O7.4 feet per second. The expert
ments by which this velocity was de-
termined were made by M Callaodln,
In 1926 across the Lake Of Geneva,
from Role to Thonon, distance of
about nine miles. Water, therefore,
transmits sound four times as fast as
air does.

Scots Help Each Other.

"Scotsmen help each other natural
ly,'' writes Admiral Dundas in his
book, IAN Admiral's Yarns" IF a
Scotsman has to choose between two
men Of nearly the same caliber, the
one being an Englishman while the
other halls from across the Tweed, 1t
is very long odds that he will choose
his own countryman.
"One of my discoveries has been
that, while Scotsmen abroad are as a
rule a splendid lot of fellows, those at
home remain very, very narrow.
have heard 1t said that an Edinburgh
man seems to think that the world be-
gins at the Calton hill and ends at the
Haymarket station. One would almost
feel inclined to believe that that is
true"

Put an Idea Across.

Whether it was mental telepathy or
a mere coincidence, cannot say, but
this is what happened:
On a railway station platform at
some distance from me stood an I'M
migrant family The father carried no
bundles, but the mother was loaded
like pack mule. In one hand she held
a bundle resembling large weeks
wash tied up In sheet. The other arm
bore a weighty looking basket and q
husky baby.
For about 20 minutes / looked on
as that woman In sort Of dumb pa
tience stood there motionless under
that awful load 1t was positively
nerve-wracking to watch her, and
finally yelled to her, mentally: For
heavens sake drop those bundles!"
Instantly the woman let go OF the
bundle, handed the baby to her nus
band, placed the basket on top of the
big bundle, folded her hands over her
stomach and heaved a sigh of relief

Go Back to Fifteenth Century.

II anything should astonish US about
trees it is their longevity. The life or
animals is ephermeral compared to
that Of our trees. The pine and great
chestnut can assuredly extend thew
existence to term of 400 or 5OO
years. In the Island Of Teneriffe are
found many venerable pines and enor-
nous chestnut trees which in all prob
ability were planted there by the con-
quistadores at the commencement or
the Fifteenth century, the epoch OF
the invasion Of the island.
The former are distinguished from
the others, owing to the conquerors
having In their piety decorated them
nearly all with little madonnas, which
are still seen suspended TO their
boughs.
