Do you know that. Rich cheese can
be sliced without crumbling if the
knife is dipped into boiling water be-
fore cutting?
Potato soup, particularly if thick
ened with flour and made with good
deal of milk, needs surprising
amount of salt to redeem it from be-
ing insipid?
Meat stews require far less salt
when they contain only a little vege-
table than when they include two or
three potatoes or a good deal of car
rot and turnip?
A piece of stick cinnamon broken
into the milk used in making custard
while beating the mixture will give
faint brown color without darken-
ing?
A little Worcestershire sauce add
ed to soup gives it a piquant flavor
Beef should never be sailed while
cooking because the salt will tougher
the fiber?
\ pinch of salt added to the white
Of egg facilitates whipping it stiff AMI
dry?
Cake batter should not be beaten
litter the baking powder has been add
ed because beating is apt to make the
cake fall?
The texture of cake will be very
fine if the butter and sugar are
creamed thoroughly together?

The Eye Is Like a Camera
Errors Of Refraction

A number of ocular defects are
known as errors of refraction because
the rays of light reflected by an oh
ject do not focus properly on the
retina If the eye-ball is too short
the rays focus at point behind TIE
retina and the person is far-sighted.
If TIE eye-ball is heightened the rays
focus in front instead of directly on
the retina and the subject is near
sighted.
If the cornea or lens are so imper-
fectly curved that the rays of light
passing through them are not all ex-
actly focused on the retina the indi-
vidual has astigmatism. One can de-
termine for himself if he has astig-
matism in this manner.
Look at the face Of a watch; if all
the figures are equally clear the eye
is normal; if some are clear and 9TH
ers are blurred the eye is astigmatic.
The Mechanism of Accommodation
The colored part of the eye, sur
rounding the pupil is called the iris.
The reason the pupil itself appears
black is because of the darkness with
in the eye-ball. The iris is analogous
to the diaphragm of a camera. It's
diaphragm controls the amount Of
light entering the eye-ball, just as the
diaphragm controls the amount of
light entering a "Kodak." Photog-
raphers shut down the diaphragm
little when taking picture on the
water or at high noon whereas they
open it more when in a dense forest
or in darkness.
The iris has radiating muscle fibres
(like the spokes in wheeD through

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS


Q.-P. 0. G. says Il have had one
of the old type magnetic rectifiers
for about four years. The adjustment
on the contacts has slowly become
more and more critical until it is hard
to keep the rectifier working proper
~. Is this because the vibrating reed
Is worn out?"
Ans.-It might be that the reed has
Fccome out of tune with the frequency
Of the alternating current, but it is
mere likely that the permanent mag
net has become demagnetized. If the
latter is the case, it is easily rcmedied
by charging the magnet.

YOUR EYES

Mans most priceless possession,
physically speaking, is vision. I can
think of no greater calamity than los
ing ene's sight A blind man ON the
street awakens pity and sympathy
in the most stone-hearted passer-by.
Isn't it strange then that people viii
abuse their eyes as though they could
buy a new pair for ten cents at any
corner drug store?
Physiology of Vision
Inasmueh as vision is a matter of
reflected light it follows that the eyes
are damaged chiefly through placing
strain on them by improper use.
The mechanism of vision is briefly
this: The eye-ball is a globe with
an opening in front (the pupilD COW
cred by a transparent membrane.
called the cornea. Back of the pupil
is the lens, which refracts the rays of
light reflected by an object and
throws them on a screen (the retina)
on the back surface of the inside of
the globe. From the retina passes the
optic nerve which carries the impress
sions made ON the retina to the visual
eenters in the brain.
When the image strikes the retina
it is upside down. because the rays
of light cross in passing through the
lens. The brain reverses the pic
ture" and special eenters tell the in
dividual what it represents. In other
words. we really see with the brain,
the eye being merely the instrument
which receives the impressions that
the optic nerve carries to the brain.
The Eye Is Like Camera
The eye is precisely like a camera.
The retina corresponds to the film in
a Kodak" and any impression made
on it is in reality negative and en-
dures for an appreeiable interval Of
time. This is we'll Illustrated in an
experiment made on & rabbits eye.
The animal was placed before a win
dow having several panes of glass.
After few moments he was killed
and the eye-ball removed and opened.

COAL OUTPUT OF
CARBON IN 1927
is SCOOPS TONS

According to the state division of
publicity so out of the 56 counties in
Montana yield coal in commercial
quantities. Approximately 95 per cent
of the output is used within the state,
principally by the railroads. Carbon
county is listed as second in the list
of ten leading counties of the state,
with the 1927 production amounting
to SCOOPS tons, valued at $2,139,521.
The output from Carbon county shows
an increase of 95,647 tons over last
year.
Varieties of coal produced in Mon
tana include semi-anthraeite, btu
minous, semi-bituminous and Ignite.
Montana's coal reserves are estimated
at about 400 billion tons, 11.5 per cent
of the total coal reserves of the United
States and eight per cent of the
worlds supply.

Q. Il. 7. D. asks: what is an easy
way to test the polarity of an electric
p. G. light circuit without the use Of
yoltineter
Ans.-One convenient way is to cut
an ordinary Irish potato in half and
to stick the two terminals Of the w.1es
in question into the potato where it is
freshly cut. The potato will become
discolored around the negative wire.
1t is better to have 110V ala tric
lamp in series vita one of the wires
used in this test to prevent some fire
works IL the potato.
Q.-S. M. R. asks: "How can the B
eliminatir be used to operate the fila
ments of a number of UV199?"
Ans.-A single UV199 requires a
current of .06 amperes. When a num-
Der of the same tubes are connected
in series they take the same current
as the single tube though at high
er voltage. As .06 amperes is 60 MILL
amperes, this current is we'll within
the maximum current Of B elimina-
tor.

Ford, who is one of the most ex-

anticipated no publicity on the sub

Ford probably will be able to
leave his Dearborn home within two
weeks unless unexpected complica-

and the aid OF nature to recover,
according to his physicians.
An announcement, issued on be-
