Rubber‘s field of usefuiness has reâ€"‘ cently been greatly enlarged. In tho’ first place, it was a few years qo‘ tound practical to ship this material | in its ortginat form, that is, the latex | or milk of the rubber tree, Formerly | it was subjected to a cooking operaâ€" tion at the place of its origin ndl transported in the shape of huge ; lumps, but this method was open to some irregularitias that in time beâ€" came serious. The natives who gathered the latex and _ prepared it for transportation carned some tricks in the way of perâ€" petrating some frauds on the purâ€" chaser. Often when these masses of crude rubber were opened at the facâ€" tory fo: further treatment they were {ound to be filled with stones or other foreign matter which added greatly to their weight and to the cost of shipâ€" ping as well. There were some other forms of deceit practiced in the preâ€" paration â€" which interfered with the quality. It was then found that by partial evaporation the latex could be handled in bulk and the new method proved much more satisfactory, and this has been mainly responsible for the enlarged field of usefulness. 1 For glazing purposes a very superior putty has been made by mixing the latex with whiting. The usual method is to mix the whiting with linseed oil and in the course of time this dries out and breaks away, leaving the glass loowe. It has no clinging property to the woodwork or the glass, and when it becomes thoroughly dried out it crumbles and falls.. With the rubber latex used, instead of the linseed oil, a cement is made which takes hold of both the frame and the glass and makes m joint which is absolutely waterproof. An excellent substitute for hair has been made by the use of this latex. Certain materials now used for stuffing furniture as a substitute for hair are unsanitary and others are subject to the attacks of moths or other vermin. Straw or other substitutes are now coated with fubber and vulcanized and a perfect elastic stuffing is ohbtained which is clean and which will hold its life indefinitely. The best of hair will not do this, for it must be removed and curled at intervals to restore its proof join terlals wh Metal, glass, mica and waxed cloth may be secured together indiscriminâ€" ately. Barrels are easily made waterâ€" proof by a coating of this compound. Violin wood first subjected to a soakâ€" ing in rubber latex makes a very superior instrument, said to approach the famous instruments of the old masters. Seeing Through the Skin? We know that blind people are conâ€" soled in some measure for their loss of sight by the greater alertness of their other senses. But a statement has recently been made that the blird might actually seeâ€"not with their eyes,but with the skin of the face, neck and chest. Apparently such a gift is common to all, but in the average person the sightseeing power of the eyes overâ€" comes the weaker sight of the other organs. If we all had this power deâ€" veloped, it is stated that it would be possible for us to see in a surrounding circle from various angles of the body through "myriad eyes." M. Jules Romain, the French scient ist, has made this discovery. The first essential for the man or woman who wishes to develop this gift is to bring about a complete conâ€" centration of all his attention. Conâ€" siderable time must elapse before the Rubber Enters Some New Fields of Usefulness. . result of this quiet concentration can become apparent. Sittings of about an hour‘s duration, if persisted in, should eventually enable the patient to perceive light, and then to visualize shapes and sizes of surrounding obâ€" jocts. After that swift progress is asâ€" ured, and in time M. Romain claims that it is possible to read type almost as rafiidiy and accurately as one would with eyes. # « And Has To Be Pulled Out.

Sourceâ€"A given name. These family names are anglicized forms of another of the Irish clan names, though, of course, the one variâ€" atlon, Hill, has an English origin which in the majority of cases exâ€" plains its existence. The Irish form of the name is "O‘Baoghail," which isn‘t half as hard to pronounce as it looks when it is considered that the "gh" in this case happens to be virtually silent, leaving the four vowels, "aoai" for pronunciaâ€" tion as a dipthong. In short, the Engâ€" lish spelling of Boyle represents the true pronunciation. The less frequent form, "Boghill," has no connection whatever with the English words, "hog" and "hill." _ It is simply an attempt to preserve the Irish spelling, and was arrived at merely by the elimination of "a" from the first syllable and "m" also from the second, with the addition of another final "1" simply from English habit. In turn there are cases on record where families bearing this name have arbitrarily shortened it still further to "Hill" in the effort to obscure its Irish origin. Changes of this nature ocâ€" curred chiefly at times and places in Ireland when English law made it comâ€" pulsory to drop the native names. The clan traces its origin to a chiefâ€" tain of the O‘Donnells of Tyrcouncil, whose given name was "Baoghal," If we wish to label anything strange or barbarious we say it is "outlandish," but when the Bible speaks of an "outâ€" landish woman" is means a foreigner. Another curious expression in the Authorized Version is "The other basâ€" ket had very naughty figs." That means fruit which was good for naught. Toâ€"day the word "naughty" means "illâ€"behaved." In the Prayer Book the word "presently‘" means "at the present time," but toâ€"day it always means a future time, though not far distant. When the Authorized Version of the Scriptures was first printed the word "careful" meant "full of care and anâ€" xiety," &s in "careworn," but if a man were said to be careful it would toâ€"day be a good testimonial: ~Thus, when the New Testament tells us to "be careful for nothing," it is not enjoining wasteâ€" fulness and speaking against thrift, TEA is good tea The ORANGE PEKOE QUALITY makes finer tea and more of it 4 Words With Changed Meanings.

The given name, though you might not suspect it, is Mathew, the same that has given us the family names in the Mathewson and Matheson classiâ€" fcations. The change from the "ch" in Matâ€" hew to a " ck" or "k" in English was brought about as the result of the use of one of the Angloâ€"Saxon diminutives of the name. "Mat" was a short form of Mathew. "Matkin," through the adâ€" dition of the diminutive ending "kin," meant "Little Mat." Hence the meanâ€" ing of Matkinson is clear, But that combination of "tk" in the middle of the name was as hard $pr the Eng: lish tongue of the Middle Ages as for us, and the "k" being the more dominâ€" ant sound, the "t" just naturally dropped out. but simply telling us not to worry about anything. The development of the Scottish name is somewhat different. One of the older forms of the Gaelic "Macâ€" Mhathain" (Mathewson), was "Maoâ€" Maghain," met with about 1263, and it is from this form that MacMackin is developed. Reliable Wet Profits. One of the stone tablets discovered in the ruims of the ancient temple at the foot of Mt. Sinai may possibly have been inscribed by the hand of Moses himself. The message, which is in primitive Hebrew, reads: "I am the son of Hatshepsut, overseer of the mine workers of Sinai, chief of the temple of Mana and Jahu (Jehovah) of Sinai. Thou, O Hatshepsut, wast kind to me and drew me out of the water of the Nile; and thou hast placed me over the temple which is on Sinal." It is wellâ€"known that Hatshepâ€" sut was a great queer of Egypt who ruled about 1500 B.C., and who opened copper mines on Sinat. _ The date, moreover, corresponds with that which Jewish tradition assigns to the lifeâ€" time of Moses RICH, PURE BLOOD RESISTS DISEASE Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills Make Rich Blood and Restore Health.

A well known doctor has ascertainâ€" ed that outbreaks of infectious disease may very easily originate in trees and shrubs and be carried by the insects inhabiting them to neighboring localiâ€" An Interesting Discovery. It appears that in the first place cerâ€" tain prickly plants sometimes harbor living germs known as flagellites, which, though minute in size, have long, prickly, and very active tails. The germs are eaten by insects visitâ€" ing the plants, and remain alive in their bodies. Further experiments were made in connection with the deadly disease known as "black sickness," and also with one soâ€"called trypanosma infecâ€" tions. In both cases it was discloged that the prickly plants on which the tailed germs were first discovered, and the enormous spread of such diseases in swampy countries where parasitical insects may infect large areas can well be imagined.

Since it is a place where human naâ€" ture is constantly under examination and illustration, there is plenty of humor to be found in the solemn proâ€" ceedings of the court noom. One of the very best court anecdotes is told by the eminent English advocate Sir Ernest Wild, K.C. A civil action was being heard in a certain court of justice, and counsel, having opened the case, called the plaintiff, whereupon a member of the jury rose, left the jury box and made his way to the witnmess box. Asked what he was doing, he said that he was the plaintiff. "Then what are you doing on the jury?" said the judge "But surely," said the judge, "you know that you cannot help to try your own case?" 3 â€"â€""I was summoned to sit on the jury," said the man, producing the summons.

Arctic in the annual patrol of the Arctic archipelago according to reâ€" ports received by the North West Terâ€" ritories and Yukon Branch of the Deâ€" partment of the Interior by wireless. The 1924 expedition sailed from Queâ€"| bec on July 5 with Mr. F. D. Henderâ€", son, D.L.S., representing the Departâ€"‘ ment of the Interior, in charge, and Captain J. E. Bernier in command of the Arctic. The object of this year‘s patrol of the Dominion‘s northern posâ€" sessions was the reâ€"provisioning of the posts at Pangnirtung and Ponds Inlet on Baffin Island and Craig Harbor on Ellesmere Island, the establishment of another post and a general inspecâ€" tion. When about 200 milcs north of the: strait of Belle Isle and off the coast of Labrador, the Arctic ran into a storm and shipped some water, which necesâ€" sitated the throwing overboard of a part of the cargo of coal. The Arctic proceeded on its way and reached Cumberland gulf on July 22, where Inâ€" spector C. E. Wilcox, of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, was taken aboard for his tour of inspection of the posts. The ship arrived at Godhaven, Greenland, on August 1, sailing the next day for Ponds Inlet, which was reached on 5th August and Craig Harâ€" bor on the 9th. On arriving at the latâ€" ter post it was learned that the main building there was burned in February but all the men at the post were well, The Arctic proceeding north reached Rice Strait on August 11 and estabâ€" lished a cache. Rice strait is the body of water separating Pim Island, of which the eastern extremity is Cape Sabine, from the mainland. The Arctic then returned southward and made Dundas Harbor on the 17th, where the new post was established and the \bulldlngs erected. The latest wireless message received August 28 indicated that the Arctic was then at Ponds Inâ€" let and that all were well. The mail for Captain Donald B. Macâ€" Millan, the United States explorer, was not delivered, as he was not seen nor any word received from him. The success which has been attainâ€" ed in maintaining communication beâ€" tween the Arctic and the civilized world has been chiefly due to the reâ€" gular commercial set. The short wave set has proved more satisfactory in the latter part of the trip than in the earâ€" lier Once a mother has used Baby‘s Own Tablets for her little ones she would use nothing else..
