Even the eyes may be held steady for

AID TO ICEMAKING

A cheap new way of removing
sodium bicarbonate from waters to
render them suitable for icemaking
involves chemical treatment instead
Of distillation, says report to the
American Chemical Society. When
the waters are passed through an
acid regenerated hydrogen zeolite all
the metallic ions are replaced with
hydrogen ions, it is said.
The cost Of this treatment is re-
ported to be about one-third Of a
cent per 1000 gallons of sodium hi
carbonate removed This is based on
sulturic acid costing cents a pound.
In larger quantities this acid could
be purchased for l cent a pound

so 1t was in just the ordinary, every
day sort of sleep that they spent that
day. Late in the afternoon they
struggled forth to hunt for insects,
but it wasn't long before ne. began
to return. 1t had turned cold. There
were no insects. They didn't want to
eat. anyway. The cold, instead Of
making them hungry, as it often does
us, took away what little appetite they
did have. There was lot of chitter-
chatter in squeaky voices for while
Then strange drowsiness stole over
them-a droWsiness different from
ordinary sleep.
One by one the voices stilled Deeper
and deeper became the sleep until it
was 50 deep that no noise could have
wakened them. Just one thing,
warmth, could have done that. Filter
and his friends were hung up asleep
for the winter. Jack Frost could not
reach them They would know MOTH
ing of ice and snow and bitter cold.
They would know nothing of hunger.
They would have no dreams. They
would know nothing at all, no more
than you know when you are In
dreamless slumber. For them time had
stopped. 1t would begin again with
the coming Of warm weather in the
spring.
Now, quite unknown to them, they
had neighbors who also had chosen
that cave wherein to spend the win
ter, for they also would forget time
until the return of sweet Mistress
Spring. Buzztail the Rattlesnake and
a number of his relatives had early
entered that cave. In fact, they had
retired to it as soon as the weather
became really cool, going only so far
as the entrance on warm, sunny days,
and that for only a little while. Open
ing from the back Of the cave were
assures leading to several tiny caves
which were not much more than
pockets. In one of these Buzztail
and his relatives tWined together, per-
haps for company or perhaps for added
warmth, to sleep away the winter.
So here. neighbors, although they
knew 1t not, were little people Of. the
air and people who glide along the
earth but have neither legs nor wings.
Wholly unlike in every way but one,
they would spend the winter alike
In Information.
Later, much later-long after Fit
ter and BuzZtail had become wrapped
In that strange, dreamless sleep, came
another to the cave He also was
seeking a place wherein to sleep
through the months of discomfort and
little or no food. 1t was great big
Buster Bear. He did not come until
after Jack Frost had been around for
some time, and then only because he
could not find enough to eat. He
would be up and out before either Fit
ter or Buzztail, and it is doubtful If
either would ever know who had been
their neighbor through the greater
part of the winter.
So there they were. Filter the Bat,
Buzztail the Rattlesnake and Buster
Bear, close neighbors sleeping the
same strange sleep and none knowing
Of the presence of the others.

FILTER the Bat.
EL1TTER the Bat, who had been
undecided whether to fly South to
spend the winter or to remain and
sleep away the cold months, had had
the matter settled for him. He had
fingered so long that Jack Frost had
arrived and it was too late to go South
Fortunately, Filter had looked ahead
to such possibility, and jack Frosts
arrival had found him hanging up in
cave in the ledges deep in the Green
Forest. Jack Frost could not reach
him there. 1t was able-warm
enough, yet not too warm to interfere
with sleeping. A number of other Bats
were there, 50 he did not lack for the
company of his own kind. When he
had arrived they had squeaked a
greeting, a drowsy sort of greeting.
