EASY WAY TO CRACK NUTS
Scientists Recommend Use of Liquid
Air as Best Means of Getting
at Detachable 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
method of breaking the shells OF
chicha nuts without damaging the
kernels. They found that it took q
weight sof nearly a Ton 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
piece of rubber and use 1t as 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 be applied commercially
on 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.

VELVET JACKET WAS SYMBOL
Worn by Stevenson, According to
Writer, as Protest Against the
Tyranny of Fashion.

Thus calamity he appears in my
minds eye when / pause in rereading
one of his books and summon up
fantasm of the author-Robert Louis
Stevenson, gentleman adventurer in
life and letters, his brown eyes shin
ing in swarthy face, his lean, long
enduring body adorned with black
velvet jacket, Henry Van Dyke writes
in Scribner's.
This garment is no disguise, but
symbol. 1t Is short, so as not TO i'm
pede him with entangling tails. 1t Is
unconventional, as protest against
the tyranny of fashion. But it is of
velvet, mark you, to match certain
niceness of choice and preference of
beauty-yes, and probably touch of
bravura in all its wearers vagarieS.
Ills like the silver spurs, broad SOM
brero and gay handkerchief of the
thoroughbred cowboy-not an element
of the dandiacal, but tribute TO ro-
nance. Strange that the most genu-
inc of men usually have bit of this
in their composition your only incur
able poseur being the fellow who af-
fects never to pose and betrays him
self by his attitude of scorn.
OF course Stevenson did not always
wear this symbolic garment In fact
the only time l met him in the flesh
his clothes had a discouraging resem-
blance to those of the rest of us at
the Authors club in New York. And
a few months ago, when | traced his
footprints on the sands of time" at
Waikiki beach, near Honolulu, the
picture drawn for me by those who
knew him when he passed that way,
was that of lank, barefooted, bright
eyed, sun-browned man who daun-
dered along the shore in white-duck
trousers and a shirt wide open at the
neck. But the velvet jacket was in
his wardrobe, you may be sure, ready
for fitting weather and occasion.

Eaales Change Color.

The young eagle is clothed in three
kinds of garments before it reaches
maturity. During the first year 1t is
black, the second year slate-cOlored,
the third year brown and white. 1t
might be said that the bald-headed
eagle is not bald. 1t is so called from
the white ruff of feathers about its
head. The three different appearances
of the young eagle one time provoked
strange misunderstanding among
bird observers. 1t was thought that
they were three different species-the
black, the George Washington and the
bald. The eagle is one Of the Fall
eonidae, which includes hawks and all
similar birds of prey.

in Stout's Homecoming Saturday and
quenched the "Victory Bonfire" with
the score of 80. The team was ac-
companied by a number of loyal root
ers who had chartered busses to at
tend the game. Others came by cars,
and from the number of former Falls
students at the game, one was led to
believe that it was also a homecom-
ing for our own school.
Stout students had the town deco
rated in honor of the occasion, with
the colers of both schools. Our root
ers entered into the spirit of the game
and assisted Stout in making it a
glorious occasion. Very few of the
students remained for the dance aft

American Silks.

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 SIX
goods in our country has grown rap
idly since the year 1860. At that time
only 10 per cent of the silk used in
the United States was homemade. In
1870 the percentage of home manu-
featured silk had doubled; in 1880
it had become more than 80 per cent;
in 1890, 20 per cent, while at present
it is estimated to be in excess of 80
per cent.
