A good furniture polish may be made of paraffine, oil and turpentine. Kerosene, too, is very good, while crude oil may be used to darken wood that has not been varnished. Dandruff arises from different causes, but when it is very much in evidence it is usually a symptom of depleted roots and the scalp needs feeding with grease or tonics. Brasses take a most beautiful polish if washed in a mixture made of one ounce of alum and a pint of lye, boiled together and used while still warm.

IT HAS ?Cartoon by ELEITHICAL SHOLHS TO DES1 Levis Nixon Says Currents Flashed Thr Cancer lrcm Airships?Deslruc Will Be Forced lo I New ycrk City. ? Lewis Nixon, shipbuilder, graduate of the United States Naval Academy and for several years one of the chief constructors of the American navy, flouts the theory that the airship in any of its forms will become a formidable war machine. Instead, Mr. Nlion believes that the death-dealing terror of the war of the future will be the electric shock. This conclusion has been forced xtpon his judgment by a careful study of the subject of new war agencies and by closely watching the manoeuvres of the Wright aeroplane as it sailed up the Hudson and circled the representatives cf the world's greatest navies. In Mr. Nixon's opi ion warships can guard against the tanger of exiMosiVPS flint ^ V WW UIUI'WCU U|JUU them by airships by specially prepared armor. He believes, though, that sooner or later there will be perfected a gun or some other piece of mechanism for hurling a thunderbolt that will shock to death every man j aboard a warship, irrespective of Its protection. "I am convinced," said Mr. Nixon to a reporter, "that the thing could be done now, but the mechanism is so crude that the thunderbolt, or electric Impulse, would kill the man who should release it. as well as the enemy. It is possible, of course, that some foreign nation already has perfected the necessary machine with which to hurl this deadly bolt. I hope, however, that it has not been done. When the principle is mastered the result will make war so horribly destructive that the human race, through the sheer force of nature's first law ? self-preservation ? will abolish war. "The aeroplane is mainly interesting now on account cf the fact of what may etow from it. Possibly we shall see them like swarms of giant locusts flying over and bevond armies, to occupy positions and to cut off communications. "For purposes of observation they will be of great use. The helicopter, Dwing to its smaller dimensions, seems best adapted to such use3. especially to he carried on men-of-war. "Insofar as I can sec, the dirigible, which will combine much that the aeroplane is now proving out, is the sh'p of the future. "Count Zeppelinhasalready crossed STARVING ESKIMO St. John's, N.

I The Paradox, one of the fleet of Dundee whalers, met the fate of her companion ship, the Snowdrop, which was crunched in the merciless jaws of the ice floes ofT Baffin Land early in August a year ago.

The Pittsburg Civic Commission, fathered by Andrew Carnegie and H. C. Frick, announces that soon there will arrive in Pittsburg one of the most important and high priced trio of experts to be had in the country for the purpose of giving advice on Pittsburg's bad street car system, her river front and on plans for laying out the $500,000 park which Frick has given the city of Pittsburg through his daughter Helen. Those who have been employed to come at a salary of $800 a day ago are Blon J. I Arnold, of Chicago; James R. Freeman, of Providence, and Frederick Law Olmstead, of Boston.
