Shakespeare House Is
Restored With Stucco

Restoration of a building at STRAIT
ford-on-Avon, recently carried out by
the new owners, will preserve a struc
ture closely identified with the life of
William Shakespeare, according to a
writer in Concrete. The author points
out that the enterprise answers in a
way q question asked by Shakespeare
in one of his plays, when he inquiries
as to what evil endure against the
tooth of time and razure of oblivion"
Judith Shakespeare, daughter Of
William Shakespeare and Anne
Hathaway, after her marriage to
Thomas Quincy, winter, lived for
thlrty-six years in house at l High
street, Stratford-on-Avon," says the
article In Concrete. "This house was
an Elizabethan dwelling, half-tim-
bered, with overhung caves and gables
and the usual face Of oak and plaster.
EARLY In the last century an at
tempt was made to restore 1t but
the result was very unsatisfactory. 1t
was recently rescued from its state
Of conspicuous ugllness by W. Fl.
Smith & Son, book sellers, and the
present tenants of the premises. The
restoration was carried out with port
land cement stucco. with remarkably
pleasing results.
"The house of Judith Shakespeare
is owned by the Stratford-on-Avon cor
poration. and forms part of the Guild
estate. Half OF the rent of the build
ing goes TO the King Edward school,
as 1t did in the days when Shake
speare was a schoolboy there"

Tying Cast Iron Into
Knots Is Nou Possible

Tying gray or white cast iron in
knots is now made possible by new
process invented by Alex. X. Schlaap.
The process is very simple, consisting
In heating the cast iron to tempera-
ture shortly above the critical tenn
perature of 1000 Fahrenheit, while pro-
tecting 1t In a muffie surrounded by
a gas flame and open at the top. As
soon as the gray cast iron reaches the
proper temperature the muffle and its
contents are removed from the furnace
and allowed to cool In the open air.
The whole operation requires about
As minutes, starting from cold cast
iron.
The method has been In continuous
use for year, chiefly for the pur-
pose Of softening gray iron castings
for machining purposes, and especial
ly for making automobile piston rings
The most noteworthy characteristic
Is the combination of pllablllty, due
tillty, malleability, and reslllency. In
its resiliency the heat-treated metal
most resembles steel, since 1t shows
this property both before and after
distortion. For example, thin bar
might be coiled up into a spiral and
used as spring, although, of course.
not nearly as strong and resilient as
tempered steel spring. It is worthy
Of note that this annealed cast iron
does not warp on standing. Samples
of annealed iron have stood for sew
eral months without changing shape
by as much as one thousandth OF an
inch, as compared with unannealed
castings Of the same metal and pat
tern, which have warped.-Iron Age.

Radiator Plays Lullaby

They recently Installed their new
baby in a room in their apartment
which formerly had been the guest
chamber and so far they are delight
ed with a hitherto unrealized attrac-
ton which the room possessed, says
the New York Sun and Globe. Every
night about 10 80, just after the baby
has been fed and should settle down
for the night, the radiator commences
to beat out a tattoo that has had the
effect of acting as a lullaby to the
baby. Before it ceases he has fallen
asleep, but their Joy Is tempered some
what by the fear that some night
more wakeful than usual, he will moi
have lapsed into unconsciousness be
fore the radiator stops its tune and
the problem will then be what sub
stitute to give him.

MYTH of Ptolemv,s Mirror

Ptolemy's mirror was a huge mirror,
said to have been placed In the tower
Of the Pharaohs Of Alexandria by Pto-
lemy Euergetes.
Aboolfeda, the famous Arabian wrl-
ter, says that this mirror was made Of
Chinese iron, and that shortly after
the Saracen conquest Of Egypt 1t was
destroyed by the Christians to prevent
Its falling into the hands of their op-
pressors. In Buttons opinion, says the
Detroit News, Ptolemy's mirror was
made Of polished steel.
According to fabulous account, it
reflected the greater part of lower
Egypt and a portion of the Medlter-
rarean sea and enabled the observer
to detect either the approach Of hos
tile fleet or the existence of disturb
ance on land.

As to Oil Figures

attention has just been
IIWI called to an article which ap-
1 peared in The Times of Aug.
6, in which there are some figures
on the production of oil in Indiana
and the United States. The writer
who prepared this story from the
Government report omitted three fig
ures in each case except the num-
Der of producing wells in Indiana.
For the past five years Indiana
has produced approximately a mil
lion barrels of oil each year. For the
past three years the production was
in excess of a million barrels each
year. In 1928 the yield was 1,043, 900
barrels; in 1922 il was i, 0S7 900 bar
rels, and in 1921 it was 1 ,15S, 900 bar
rels.
The increase If production in the
northeastern palt of Indiana, men,
toned in the story, was due to the
discovery of q pool in southern Jay
County, known as the Hotmire pool.
This pool was opened in 1922 and
since that time more than 100 wells
have been drilled in it. The wells
in this pool have an average initial
production of about forty barrels,
but some of them produced from 200
to. 500 barrels. After aboNt six
months these wells settle to about
twenty-five barrels a day.
