Someone has defined thrift as “the wisast possible expenditure of what we have” o In other words thrift is not the absence of spending but wise spending. _ ey Wise spending surely means securing full value for every dollar we spend. It means the ordering of our out go so that something is always left for thebuilding up of a reserved fund. . .

The man who gives up his lifetime to putting science at the service of business finds himself eternally asked, “What's the use?’ Statesmen rise from their seats and say: “] see that some scientist fattening at the government trough has measured a hundred-thousandth of an inch. What'’s the use?” " Hard - headed—solid - headed—business men read of research departments and snort In disgust:: “What's the. use? The old rule of thumb is the common sense way.” : We think of railroads as progressive—of ‘raflroad men as efficient, Are they? Not If the Rallway Age is to be believed, remarks the Nation’s Business, - Bl . There are only two test plants of lecomotives in the country, one owned by the Pennsylvania, the other at the University of Illinois. Only a few raflroady try out locomotives on road service by means of a dynamometer car., What's the use? i 'One road that did found that by putting an exhaust tip three-eighths of an inch smaller on a Mikado type locomotive it Increased the firebox temperature 400 degrees and saved $57,000 a year in' coal. On another line tests made it possible so to alter a locomotive as to.reduce its fuel consumption 10 per cent and permit it to haul three more passenger cars on less coal and water. = . That’'s what's the use! .

SAILORS MADE FIRST GLASS According to Story of Its Discovery, -1t Was Entirely the Result | of Chance. . One of the most useful materials in the world is glass. It is not only a domestic necessity, but a scientific essential. The development of chemistry would have been a far more laborius process had it not been for the many utensils manufactured from glass. So numerous and varied are its uses that one can hardly conceive of presentday civilization without this product. Yet the discovery of this valuable material was what might be termed an aceident, Floyd W. Parsons writes in the Saturday Evening Post. As the story runs, a merchant ship lJaden with natron, a brittle white carbonate of sodium, was;driven ashore at the mouth of the River Belus in Phenicla. The crew prepared their food on the beach, supporting their kettles on piles made up of lumps of the natron. Later the sallors were amazed to discover transparent masses of stone among the cinders of their fires. The heat had melted the soda and the siliceous sand together, with the result that a crude variety of glass was formed. If the early records are correct the art of glass manufacture was exclusively an industry of the Phenicians, One reason for crediting this statement is. the fact that the ingredi-

ents of glass—natron, sand 'and ruex —were abundant upon the coast of Phenicia, e = : Waterworks in the Desert. 3 - In the big desert of Chile there is a considerable amount of brackish water, but no water that either human beings or stock can drink. Science, however, has come to the ald of the rainless section of the country in the form of an ingenious desert waterworks, consisting of a series of frames containing 20,000 square feet of glass. The panes of glass are arranged in the shape of a V, and ‘under each pane is a shallow pan containing brackish water. The heat of the sun evaporates the water, which condenses upon the sloping glass and; made pure by this operation, it runs down ilnto little channels at the bottom of the V and is carried away into the main canal, It is said that nearly a thousand gallons of fresh water is collected ‘daily by this means. '

' Savage Wilderness Matauder. The fisher is, taking it all in all, sald” to be the most savage, swift and crafty of all the marauders of the wilderness. In. nine cases out of ten —perhaps even 99 out of a hundred—a fight between a porcupine and a fisher has but one result: The fisher eats the porcupine. And the porcupine is some defensive fighter. The fisher flips the victim over on his back, annexing as few spines as possible in the act, and he has an unpro-< tected throat and belly at the mercy of his fangs. : i - The poncupine’s quills, so deadly to other animals, have for the fisher edmparatively few terrors. They do not poison or inflame his flesh, which ‘seems to possess the faculty of soon casting them forth again through the skin. s 3

: Good Place to Keep Cool. , The ice caves of I6wa present one of the most interesting phenomena in ‘this country. While the rest of the state swelters in midsummer the temperature of the soil near the caves is not higher than 55 degrees. As a result trees-and flowers exist which are usually found in the far north. The caves owe their existence to the prehistoric seas which are supposed to have covered this territory, as they are found in limestone districts where the rock is porous. In the winter cold air Is stored in the crevices and when summer comes this air comes out very slowly and the outside of the caves 1s -covered with frost. - Lt : Gymnastic Dancing Passing. ‘The waltz of our grandmother’s days —but with a fascinating touch of “hesitation”—has come back to our jazzweary ballrooms. It became all the rage — after much opposition — when the Czar Alexander danced it at Almack’s in 1814; and since the Prince of Wales likes it and dances it today a new vogue for the waltz is assured. Dancing evidently is to be less gymnastic and more sentimental. Anxious mothers will not repine. The dreamy waltz was a match maker in their day and perhaps it will be in ours.—London Daivwy Malil. e Burbank Native of Massachusetts. Luther Burbank, the originator of flowers, fruits and vegetables, was born at Lancaster, Mass., March 7, 1849, and began his first experiments on a farm of twenty acres near Lunenville, Mass., when he was 22 years old. A warmer climate than that of New England being necessary for continuous research, Mr. Burbank moved in 1878 to Santa Rosa,- Cal, where he now lives. i o _

WOULD FERTILIZE THE AIR Scientist Sees Immense Possibilities . »In Scheme Which He Claims Is ' ~ Quite Feasible. ' - Recently men have undertaken to mine nitrates, or some of the material for nitrates, from the air. There is nitrogen enough in the air, no doubt, to blow civilization off the earth—were that mitrogen concocted into explosives. dadid e 7 Now comes a hopeful German sci‘entist named Riedel, who believes that the air itself may be fertilized to such an extent that plants will bound forth from their seeds like tennis balls. He would fill the air where rlants are imbedded with carbon dioxide (carbonic acid gas). Plants love this gas as a.fresh-air erank loves the out of doors. They use it ambiticusly, but could use more. Man expels it with his breath, Plants take it up and expel oxygen, which man can use. Thus men and plants are mutually helpful. But more carbon dioxide is flways a good thing for the vegetable world, and Doctor Riedel proposes to supply more. e He would get his supplies from ‘the blast furnaces, whose great lungs expel this gas. An industry which uses 4,000 tons of coke per day expels 35,000,000 meters of gas, of which about 20 per cent is carbon dioxide. - Doctor Riedel has tried fertilizing the air | in this way, and his happy plants have flourished amazingly. ;

PLANET DESTROYED BY HEAT Possibility That Our Own Worid May Meet the Same Fate Through the ~ --Rays of the Sun. : ~_Worlds, with- probably millions of human beings like ourselves, have beén destroyed and turned into glowing gas by a stupendous conflagration in the heavens, e i . The 'sun to which these worlds belonged must have rushed into a zone of heated gas and have had its atmosphere set on fire. C : It was toward the end of last summer that the vast outbreak -was first seen, but it was only lately that astronomers “realized its awful significance. Now it is known that the star which ' caught fire had its heat increased by no less an amount than five hundred thousand times in the course of a few days. : i - Can anyone imagine our own sun filling the sky tvith its blaze and sending forth a heat hundreds of thousands of times greater than it does at present. 2 . : - Humanity would - be withered as a leaf dropped into a white-hot furnace, and the earth itself would melt with fervent heat, Tl e ' Yet thera. are those who predict such a fate as that for our planet. Glass-Covered Electric Meters. " The use of the glass-covered meter is increasing, and many central station men and manufacfurers believe that they will be ordered in greater numbers when deliveries become easfer. Companies which are using these meters find that they facilitate the settlement of complaints, especially when a meter is suspected of creeping. Cnstomers prefer a meter that can be seen working. The objections to glass covers have for the most part been overcome. <Unevenness of the edge of the cover which might cause a poor fit. has been taken care of by a felt gasket, consequently no trouble from this source has been experienced. Condensation, which sometimes appears on the outside of the glass conld be present on the inside of metal covers without being noticed upon inspection of the oufside.—Electrical Waorld.
