To use, moisten a piece of the prepared paper and touch it with wires leading from both poles of the battery, keeping them about 1% in. apart. A dark-brown spot will mmediately be produced where the wire from the positive pole touches the blotter. A dead cell or battery will produce no spot. A little experience in judging the rapidity with which the spot is formed, and the shade of the color produced, will soon enable one to tell the condition of the battery fuirly accurately, whether‘it is nearly. dead, half charged, or fully charged. ‘This method is applicable to both stor- age batteries and dry cells, although the wires must be further apart in the case of storage batteries. EXAMINATIONS FOR PRIZES T0 BE ON JULY 15 Annual’ Examination to De- cide the Winner of Win- chester Prize The examination which will de- cide the winner of the Walter H. Winchester memorial prize award to the Burleigh County pupil who shall excel in arithmetic, will be given at the Will school next Tues- day, July 15, with Miss Madge Ru- ney, county superintendent of schools, in charge. Nine pupils completing the eighth grade in Burleigh county are chosen to take the examination, which is in arithmetic; six from the rural and village schools of the county, and three from the Bis- marek schools. The pupils chosen are those showing the greatest pro- ficiency in arithmetic. _ In grading the papers the follow- ing points are considered: clearness of expression, showing arithmetical reasoning, accuracy and care in de- ; tails, and neatness. The questions are prepared by some one chosen by the county superintendent, who; together with the judges will not be announced until after the com- pletion of the test. The award, which is $25.00, is one which has been created in mem- ory of Walter H. Winchester, who was a former county superintendent of schools in Burleigh county, and who during his leng service as judge of the district court, never lost interest in the schools and edu- j six daughters, and eighteen Engine Has Gear Shift engine weighs 408,000 pounds and can be operated with direct or alternating current. It was assembled in a month’s time, said to be a record for the Altoona shops of the railroad, and was exhibited in Philadelphia as the latest development in electric engines; those commonly used beihg geared for only one type of service, either freight or passenger. Cleaning Crystals with Alcohol The sensitiveness of a crystal deter- mines to a greut extent the receiving range of a set. Some crystals are much better than others in this re- spect, but even good ones gre soon spoiled by improper care. Air causes the surface of the crystal to oxidize gradually, which of course decreases its efficiency. Dust particles in the air also lodge on the surface and adhere to it. The mest trouble is, however, caused by handling the crystal, as the oil on the hands and fingers, which is imperceptible to the naked eye, insulates the surface of the crystal, and for this reason crystals should never be touched. An excellent method of cleaning crystals, which will in many cages restore the original sensitiveness, is to give them a bath in alcohol, using an old toothbrush to scrub them. see Salt Is Tougher than Steel Strands of wire made from ordinary rock salt by a Russian chemist are re- ported to be tougher than those df steel. The inventor expects the proc- ess to aid in hardening and strength- ening common metals,. and believes that the treatment, if applied to other tinerals, may result in materials that would permit. moving machinery to travel at much greater speeds. The scientist is said to put raw rock salt under high heat pressures, thus chang- ing its form and increasing its:flexibil- ity and strength. eee Towing Small Boats When the stream is flowing so fast ot the wind blowing so hard that it is difficult wo snake headway by rowing, the simple stunt shown dn the drawing offera an easy way of towing the boat along the bank or shore. Tie the boat line to both bow and stern, as shown. By paying out on the bow part of the line and holding in the stern line, the boat can be kept nearly parallel with the bank, while if only a bow line is used the current or wind wili cause the bow to dig into the bank, making tow- ing difficult. If a narrow creek is en- countered, its mouth can be crossed in the boat as follows: Let out the bow and haul in the stern; this will cause the boat to lie close against the mouth. Fasten the towline to an oar pushed slantingly (toward the water) into the bank. After walking acrogs the creek in the boat, the oar is pulled out, which can readily be done on accoupt of the slant at which it is placed. cational matters.
