Using the Refute.
What becomes of the old sardine
tins, tomuto cans, meat tins, fruit
tins und tlus of ull kinds? In France
where nothing Is allowed to go to
waste they gather them up and use
them to cut Into tin soldiers.
In France, too, old boots and shoes
are collected and every part is used
over again. The work Is mostly done
by convicts In prisons. They take the
boots and shoes to pieces and soak
thorn; then the uppers are cut up Into
children's shoes or If they are too far
gone for that a peculiar kind of
pressed leather Is made by some chem
ical action. The nails arc saved and
sold and the scraps go to the farm
ers to fertilize the soil.
Who would have thought It possible
to make anything out of old saws?
Yet It Is said that many of the finest
surgical Instruments and some of
those used by engineers are manufac
tured from the steel that tlrst saw
duty In saws. The steel of saws Is of
the very best quality and finest tem
per, and since It Is good In the lir.st

glow with a purple light for about four
hours, nays Popular Science Monthly.
. Remove the crystal from the watch
to be treated, and with a pen dipped
In shellac go over the numerals and
the hands. Some may prefer to make
dots only at the numeruls. Pour out

minutes for It to dry. The calcium
not used may be returned to the
