It is known as . the. “micro-spot” .» test and will, it is expected, enable prospectors to determine in 20 miri’- DteS in the field the ;goid value of ores to an • accuracy of one part in 500,000. _ c . A small, compact kit is being dev­ eloped for. the. use eff prospectors. So simple is the te.st in practice that no- scientific knowledge is necessary for its application. “Until. now. the problem of assays ing has been the check rein of gold mining, hindering the prospector in : his coverage of the field,” the Pro­ fessor said. “Prospectors hitherto have been forced to load themselves . with the different sample Or ore, and bring them long distances' to the assay offices, which in many cases, required^, weeks,” Miss ?

The idea is to go through the washing pro­ cess, what we call a bath, outside the tub and then get in for relaxa­ tion. An ordinary Bruce County far­ mer, of my-size could pull his knees up to his chin and sib in the “ofuro' comfortably with water up to Iris neck- lt,-is^surprising..how/this_._hot,, water soak can take all the soreness sQjm of ones tired , bones at the eiid of a day and’ make one ready for a perfect sleep. . . /. Where would one put this' bath tub in an ordinary Canadian farm house? A small cement‘floor, dbout;., 6 by 4 feet could be laid in ■ a little room, somewhere," even in a back, woodshed; or a cornier of the. cellar. The convenience, of water and easy drainage are ’ the essential pointe to, be remembered. (Heating the i'oom need not be a great problem because the. heat of the water in the bath itself would solve that. After coming out of the bath, a dashApf cold water •over ones back will keep chills away' long enough to get properly dried off. Then a dash to the bedroom to dress, and the fun is. over. In a well - regulated. Japanese, household each member of the fam­ ily has an “ofuro” experience every evening. They all use the same water without changing it. It does not get How Country Folk Can Have These (Luxuries, Costing Less, Than A Cent A Day, Or The Labour Only.

If. folks arbund home-knew the grand feeling . of a Japanese bath, there wbuld, I believe, “ be a stampede -to ret, directions for construction, or even J.to import the Japanese outfit ready made. " . t .First, I’ll try to describe a Ready­ made Japanese bath tub—-the kind sold in every hooper’s shop between South Formosa and North Manchu- kuo. If I could draw a picture of one,, and if the Sentinel could' malce a block of it," your would get a dearer- idea of what an “afuro” looks ike; but owing to obvious difficulties at this end wC shall, do our best with mere words. Think of an ordihary__wooden wash tub, cedar staves and wooden or wire hoops. Imagine four of the wooden staves about a? foot, longer than the others. These project below the tub’s bottom to form the legs on which the “ofur.o” stands..
