HOW TO STORE HOT WATER. System by Which a Large Supply Can Be Kept on Hand. At the last meeting of the Pacific Coast Gas association a method was discussed for storing hot water in con nection with a kitchen boiler supplied with heat from a gas burner. In the accompanying sketch is shown the combination of this boiler connected to a larger boiler in which the water Is stored. The arrangement is sug gested as one already being used in apartment houses where, for example, a 200-gallon storage tank is connected to two boilbrs, furnishing hot water fcr 50 basins, four baths and wash trays. The boilers were installed after oil burners and coal heaters had fajled to give satisfaction. It will be seen that the hot water from the gas heater can be delivered directly into the hot water service pipe, or it can be sent to the storage tank alongside, valves being provided in both of these delivery pipes. Naturally it will re quire that the user understand the scheme of the connections, else the case might happen when all the water pipes to and from tho heater were ehut off by the valves, with tho result that when heating Is begun there will be an expansion of the water, the de velopment of a dangerous pressure and bursting of the tank. It will be seen that the cold water supply is brought to the storage tank, and that STOfUCt TJKK •i BASWXTM •» HUTEP c •! c Hot Water Storage. a pipe leads from the storage tank to the hot. water heater. Sediment cocks are provided for both the storage tank and the gas heater. Above the gas heater is a so-called vent cap discharge for the products of combus tion from the gas burner, which is shown below the boiler with an air mixer. ehind the pipes of the gas heated boi'er will be seen a pipe slanting upward from the storage tank. This is to indicate how a pipe from a second heater would be con nected to the cross at the top of the storage tank. OUR MINERAL PRODUCTS. Immense Increase In the Quantity of Metals Mined. The value of the mineral products of the United States for the year 1906, as shown by the geological survey re port, exceeded by $279,000,000 the total of the preceding year, and by $70"),000,000 that of the year 1900. As compared with the total for 1880 the increase is enormous, amounting to $1,556,000,000. The total sum for J906 is $1,902,517,565. The produc tion first surpassed a thousand mil lion in 1899. The value of the metallic products in 1906 was $886,110,856, which is $184,000,000 in excess of that of 1905. Iron takes the lead, with a value of $505,700,000; then comes copper, $177,595,888; then gold, $94,373,800; next lead, $39,917,442; next silver, $38,256,400; and then zinc, $24,3<>2,668. The value of the alum inum produced was $1,262,286. Among non-metallic products bituminous coal stands at the head with $381,162,115, Pennsylvania anthracite following with $131,917,694. The clay products are valued at $161,032,722. LARGEST CONCRETE SEWER. It Has a Clear Span of Twenty-Nine Feet.

The masslveness of the press, says Popular Me chanics, is shown in the illustration, the distance between tho bolts being nine feet each way. ■ HOW TO MIX WHITE LEAD. Method of Hauling Which Will Mak» the Task Easier. When a keg of white lead has stood for some months the lead becomes denser, owing to the soaking away of i the oil into the wood. It is more dif ficult to work up into a smooth paint j when in this condition, although it may have improved In quality. To remedy this to a great extent, take a stout, narrow paddle and put it into j 'lie lead until it strikes the bottom j of the keg, then work the paddle back i and forth from side to side for a ' few times, and the mass will soon be- | come quite plastic, and then it may ! be removed into pots for further break- | ing up and thinning for use. This will save much time over the usual way of first taking the lead out of the j keg and breaking it up into the pot, ; says the Master Painter. White lead should always he heat en up before adding thinners, and then ! the japan should be added and well j beaten up with the lead. If possible j let the mass stand a few hours anil , then the thinners may be added to the desired amount. This will render the J straining of the paint unnecessary un less the skins are present. If colors are to be added, beat them up sepa rately and thin out so that they will unite readily with the paint. MOTOR ICEBOAT. It Is Propelled by an Aerial Screw Run by Gasoline Motor. The motor boat shown in this illus tration is driven by a four horse- ! Motor Iceboat. power motor which propels an aerial screw. The average speed of the boat is 30 miles an hour, says Popu lar Mechanics. At this speed the wings of the screw whirl so rapidly as to be almost invisible. LAMB-TAILING INSTRUMENT. New Device Being Manufactured in Australia. A new device is being manufactured In Australia for use by breeders in the ~ task of separating young lambkins from their tails. This machine j sears or burns the tail off in a simple and effective way. The knife has been the usual instru ment used for this operation, but it is always attended with loss of blood, which hinders the growth of the lamb. Electrified by Sun and Moon. Recent observations made on the Pic du Midi, in the Pyrenees, confirm the results previously obtained at low er altitudes, which show that both the sun and moon induce a positive electric charge on the earth. The solar charge varies from one to six volts per minute, according to the state of the atmosphere. It is absorbed by clouds and by myers of moist air. The full moon induces a positive elec tric induction analogous to that caused by the sun. Method of Testing Circuits. In testing out electric circuits the following method is sure and simple: Twist the ends of the line together and attach two double-bladed knives to the terminal wires of the test box by closing the large blade of each knife, one on each wire. Open the little blades and cut through the In sulation close to where tho connec tions are made to the main line anc test. The bell will ring when u»« work is done properly.

"In our business we get many doubt- I ful compliments," said Col. John P. Bishop, deputy surveyor of the port, j the other day, "but I do not think I ever received a compliment such as my grandfather got down in my native state of Tennessee. My grandfather was a minister and I was a very small | boy when we both strolled down the road one day. One of our fellow vil-! lagers came along toward us. " 'Good morning,' said the villager, who apparently had looked upon the ! cup. 'I-sh conver—hie—ted, parson,' he stammered with difficulty. 'An twashyou—hie—that con—hie—con verted —hie —me.'

We usually expect the doctor to put 1 us on some kind of penance and give j us bitter medicines. A Penn. doctor brought a patient somethirg entirely different and the results j r, 2"Mi? interesting. "Two p=sr» 65»." writes this pa- j tient, "I imis a frequent victim of acute indigestion and biliousness, be ing allowed to eat very few things. One day our family doctor brought me a small package, saying he had found something for me to eat, at last. "He said it was a food called Grape- Nuts, and even as its golden color might suggest, it was worth its weight in gold. I was sick and tired, trying one thing after another to no avail, but at last consented to try this new food. "Well! it surpassed my doctor's fondest anticipation and every day since then I have blessed the good doctor and the inventor of Grape- Nuts. "I noticed Improvement at once and in a month's time my former spells of indigestion had disappeared. In two months I felt like a new man.

That portion of the country in Wes tern Canada formerly recognized as ranching country has developed into one of the best winter wheat districts j in the continent. Yields are quoted ' running from 30 to 60 bushels to the acre, and giving a return to the farmer ! of from $25 to SSO jjer acre. These | lands are now selling at from sl2 to S2O per acre, and pay well at that figure. H. Howes of Magrath, Alberta, Western Canada, had 50 acres of land in wheat, which averaged 45 bushels to the acre; his yield of oats was 35 j bushels. The value to him per acre I of wheat was $35.00. J. F. Haycock j of the same place, says:"X had 65 { acres of wheat, 35 acres of oats and ; four acres of barley. My average yield j of oats to the acre was 80 bushels; j wheat—winter —6o bushels and red fyfe, 33 bushels, and barley, 50 bush-1 els. The value to me per acre was, wheat, $28.00; oats, $32.00, and bar ley, $24.00." J. P. Bradshaw of Ma grath, had 1,030 acres of wheat in crop that averaged 39bushels to the 1 acre, his oats, 32 bushels; barley, 53 bushels. He threshed 31,000 bushels of wheat from 540 acres. He also had 250 tons of sugar beets from 25 acres : worth $5.62% per ton. W. S. Sherod,! of Lethbridge, says:"l came to Leth-' bridge from Souris, North Dakota, in April, 1907, having purchased 0001 acres of land in this district last fall, j I had 128 acres of Alberta Red winter j whcr.t which was putin on breaking in ! the fall of 190G, which yielded 41% busheto to the acre, for which I re ceived 87% cents per bushel, which paid me $36.30 per acre. I had 190 acres "stubbled in" that is disced in on the stubble, which yielded 22 bushels to the acre at 87% cents per bushel, which paid me $19.25 to the acre. I also had 350 acres of strictly volunteer crop, which it was intended to prepare in the summer; but when it was seen that it was a good looking crop, it was allowed to go. From this we threshed 15 bushels to the acre, 1 which paid us at the rate of 87% cents per bushel or $13.12 per acre. Our total crop yielded us 14,742 bush els of first-clas3 wheat. Taking it as a whole, I consider that I had a first- : class crop all through; and, taking in to consideration the fact of part of the crop having been "stubbled in,"and , part strictly volunteer (which was never touched at all until the binder was put into it), I consider I had a heavy crop. I might say that I was in North Dakota five years, and I - never grew as heavy a crop during that time. This is the 25th day of November, and my teams are still ploughing, and, from the appearance of the weather, will be for some time yet." R. W. Rradshaw of Magrath, says:"l had this year 400 acres in crop, viz.: 200 acres of wheat and 200 acres in oats. My average yield of oats to the acre was 50 bushels, and wheat, 22% bushels. The value to me per acre for wheat was $19.00, and oats, $17.00. The highest price ob tained by me this year or offered me for my grain was for wheat 82 cents per bushel, and $1.05 per hundred for oats. 1 also had 100 tons of hay worth $12.00 per ton, and will say my wheat was all volunteer this year. Lots of wheat is averaging from 50 to 1 60 bushels per acre on summer fallow, and on new breaking, when the break- j ing was done early in the spring." Writing from Spring Coulee, Alberta, W. L. Thompson says:"l had this year 3,000 acres in crop, viz.: 2,000 acres of wheat and 1,000 acres of oats. My average yield of oats to the acre was 30 bushels and of wheat 35 bushels. The value to me per acre for wheat ] was $27.00 and for oats $15.00."

It is an almost infallible cure when mixed with certain other ingre dients and taken properly. The fol lowing formula is very effective: "To one half pint of good whiskey add one ounce of Toris Root compound and one ounce of Syrup of Sarsaparilla Com pound. Take in tablespoonful doses before each meal and before retiring." Torls Root Compound is a product of the laboratories of the Globe Pharma ceutical Co., Dayton, O. A prominent druggist states he fills this prescription often and has seen its good results. It is surely worth trying by anyone who may be afflicted. What Did He Mean? For a number of years a bitter feud had existed betwen the Browns and Perkinses, next door neighbors. The trouble had originated through the depredations of Brown's cat, and had grown so fixed an affair that neither party ever dreamt of "making up." One day, however, Brown sent bis servant next door with a peace-making note for Mr. Perkins, which read: "Mr. Brown sends his compliments to Mr. Perkins, and begs to say that his old cat died this morning." Perkins' written reply was bitter: "Mr. Perkins is sorry to hear of Mr. Brown's trouble, but he had not heard that Mrs. Crown was 111." Harper's Weekly.
