Ancient Industry.
Knapping of flint may be the oldes
living Industry. It certainly must b<
the one Industry carried on now near
ly In the manner the American Indiat
fashioned his gpear and arrowheads
as prehistoric man must have worked
to produce Ms knives and axes. Then
have been some Improvements In tlx
methods of knapping, according to one
authority, who writes: "The most dlf
fleult process is the flaking, or drivfof
off of flakes, at a single blow; of «
given width and thlckuess, with twe
ribs running down them. In this thf
Brandon knappers excel the prehlft
torlc workman, but the process Is sc
delicate that few attain to great pro
flclency." Even today the knapper1!
tools consist of three simple forms ol
hammer and chisel.
Preserving Spiders' Webs.
Amateur entomologists will be Inter
ested In a suggestion made by Doctoi
Lutz for the preservation of all kind!
of spiders' webs, says the Independent
The webs should Jte sprayed from at
atomizer with artists' shellac, anc
then, if they are of the ordinary geo
metric form, pressed carefully agalDSI
a glass plate, the supporting strand!
being at the same time Severed. Aftei
the shellac Is dried, the plated carry
Ing the webs can be stored away In t
cabinet. Even dome-shaped webs maj
be preserved In tlielr original font
by spraying them with shellac and
then allowing them to dry before re
moval from their supports. Manj
spiders' webs are very beautiful, and
all have Interesting characteristics ol
the species to which they belong.
The Problem of Food.
The man or woman who lives or
well-oooked food has more ambltior
and more strength to do the worth
while things In life than the one whe
eats Irregularly and amid unpleasant
surroundings, says Good Housekeep
Ing. It Isn't necessary that larg«
amounts of money should be spent foi
food, but It Is essential that though!
and care should be mixed with everj
menu. Some day those who now lool
upon the preparation of meals as Irk
some may get the new vision—the bl(
Idea that food and progress trre linked
together, and that without vlslooi «
the true place of good food In oui
dally lives frftm childhood to old age
the people perish!
Wartime Lumber Consumption.
The consumption of lumber \lurln
the war lias been approximated at 6
500.000.0(H) feet, board measure, b;
the United States forestry service. 0
this amount of lumber purchased dl
rectly by the various government de
partraents. the army consumption wa
nearly 5,500.000.000 feet, the navy cob
sinning more than 120,000,000. Durln,
101 s the Emergency Fleet corporatloi
consumed for ship construction aj
proximately S00,000.000 feet. Lurabe
needed for boxes and crates alone re
quired approximately 2,000,000,00
feet. Structures, for cantonment!
hospitals, warehouses, etc., used bv
proximately 3.000.000.000 feet.
Conveying Molten Iron to Moios.
A new ilevic e for handling molter
Iron In a gray Iron foundry has beec
Invented by :i Cleveland foundryman
It is In use in bis own foundry and Is
a labor-saving machine as well as b
very efficient one. The device consists
essentially of a cylindrical ladle
mounted on trunnion* In such a waj
that the Iron may be discharged
through nozzles which become sub
merged when the ladle is rotated. Th<
metal (lows from the n&zzles Into twe
semi-cirailrtr snide trough's which con
vey it to the runners leading fo thf
timid. The entire apparntus Is carried
on a frame mounted on wheels whict
render it readily portalile.—Scientific
American.
Governmental Perquisite.
Wherever there is u fire of any con
siderable size there is- sure to be a di
rect profit to the government on
burned money. Tlie San Francisco and
Baltimore fires were directly profitable
to the government. When the Titanic
went to the bottom of the Atlantic un
known amounts of currency went
down with It. There was American
paper money In the strong-boxes of
the Lltsltanla when the German sub
marine sunK her and there was Ameri
can paper money in the pockets of
most of the people on board. The
same was true of many ships that
went to the bottom during the World
war. All of this that remains unre
covered is profit to the government.
