Obtain Paint Remover
by Processing Corncobs

Furfural is the aldehyde OF furfuran
and Is obtained from the processing
OF corncobs. The eorncobs and water
are placed in an autoclave and steam
at about 100 pounds pressure is admit
fed and the mixture is permitted to
digest for about two hours, after
which the furfural is blown OF by
steam, condensed and collected. The
furfural Is then separated from the
water by distillation. The yield is
about 120 pounds Of furfural from one
ton Of corncobs. or approximately 6
per cent
Furfural has an agreeable odor and

British Officer Found
Townships Too Big

FOR nearly year the British prison
ers taken after Burgoyne's surrender
were held in Massachusetts, and then
came from congress the order to march
them to barracks in Virginia. The
officers travelled with considerable ill.,
erty. Thomas Anburey, a British lieu
tenant, complained of the size of tbe
townships in Connecticut IN his rem
nlscences, first published in 1850, and
recently published. About the center
OF these townships stands the meet
ing house, or church, with few sur.
rounding houses; sometimes the church
stands singly. 1t is no little NORTH
cation, when fatlgued after a long
days journey, on inquiring how far it
is TO such a town to be informed you
are there at present; but on inquiring
for the church or any particular tav-
ern you are informed 1t Is seven or
eight miles farther"
Anburey observed that most of the
Connecticut houses were only half fin.
1shed, the other half having only the
rough tfmbers that supported the
building. Upon inquiry ] learned that

Gold In Mission Altar
Proues Old Mines Existed

perhaps the most concrete evil
dence today, pointing to the reality of
the legends of early civilization in the
Southwest is the altar Of San Xavier
mission, conducted at the present time
by Catholic sisters for the relief of
the sick and needy among the Indians.
For several hundred years the mission
was a cathedral and it Is situated q
rev miles outside Of the city Of Tue
son, Ariz. The altar is inlaid with
virgin gold, and pure gold was beaten
into the masonry and decorations of
the chancel when 1t was constructed
early In the Seventeenth century.
The records of the mission, which
have been carefully kept for genera
tons, show that the gold was brought
by Indians from the Canada del Orc.
where 1t was mined under the direc-
ton of Spanish priests. In fact, the
old trail by which the precious metal
was transported on mules backs still
exists and leads directly from the
cathedral into Canada del Orc and
then loses itself in desert wastes.
The Apaches attacked the mission
about one hundred years ago and drove
away the priests. For several years
the Indian tribes used the building as
stable, but they did not touch the
altar of gold. 1t is believed that they
had no interest In gold intrinsically,
for their medicine men are thought to
have had, even at that late date, COM
plete information about rich deposits
Of desert gold.-New York Tribune.

If hundred professors of American
history were asked what man, next to
Washington, did most to launch the
American republic as an independent,

would name Benjamin Franklin. But
II is TO be feared that the average stu

well what this country owes to the
memory of the author, statesman and
philosopher who was horn In Boston
PIT years ago.
For sIich, the best course Is not to

to get acquainted with Franklin, the

led into India. While encamped
in rocky valley. Pans men
were surrounded by an over
whelming force Of the enemy,
but orders were issued that all
the soldiers were to ride at mid
night, and, at a given signal, to
shout as loudly as possible. The
strategem was carried through,
and, the hills echoing the sound,
Its volume was so increased, that
the enemy was frightened and

How LIfeboat Was Invented.

One day man named Wouldhave
was out walking when he was asked
by an old woman to help her lift q
can Of water which she had filed by
means Of a broken wooden bowl.
The bowl was floating on the sur
face Of the water, and as he talked to
the woman, Wouldhave turned 1t over
with his finger. It Immediately
righted itself. Amused by its antics
he repeated the performance; then. Il
struck him that he had made a wonp
derful discovery. The result Of his
chance meeting was the self-righting
llfeboat, which was designed by him
on the lines OF the broken bowl.
What he had discovered was that
anything made Of floating material
and shaped like one-half Of a basin
could float only with its convex sur
face downwards. A boat made on
these lines cannot remain upside down
for more than an instant when It Is
turned over by heavy sea.

the blue whale, the largest animal in

all too active and sank too quickly

come. for the whale gun is finely

a shell, and the body of the whale Is
kept afioat by initiating 1t with air
through pipes from the engine room
Of the whaler. The rendering Is now

In numerous Industries there have

speed when human energy as well as
mechanical appliances are put to the

English baronet once wagered that he
would dine at seven o'clock in suit
of clothes made from wool which had
been growing on the sleeps back the
same day. Operations began at five
o'clock in the morning with the wash
ing of sufficient sheep to provide the
wool From neighboring factory the
wool was returnedsas cloth late in the
