Timely Hints for SkiLlfuL Carving

head with one tine in the drum
stick and one in the second Joint.
Cut all around the bone.
When the flesh has been cut
around the bone, press the handle
of the fork toward the tail of the
bird. This will pull the leg away
from the body of the bird and dis
joint the hip. The leg can then De
lifted off easily.
Without removing the fork lay
the leg flat down and insert the
knife from right to left between
the tines OF the fork. IF this Is
done accurately it will bring the
knife over the. knee joint, and
when the knife is pressed down it
should go through the joint.
To carve the breast, hold the
bird firm by inserting the carving
fork into the frame rather low
down, and slice the white meat in
thin, long slices.
To remove the wing, insert the
fork into both joints, as in cutting
off the leg. Cut around the bone
and force the wing away from the
bird.

There are three principal
sources OF loss in solar energy.
Absorption by the gases Of the at

scattering by these gases, and
scattering by the solid particles,
or dust, in the atmosphere. The
rays scattered are not all lost to
