New Candles
m
for Old
"Burning the candle at both ends,"
has never, been a plan highly recom-
mended to give good results, figura-
tively speaking, but that any candle
may have both ends' burned in a legiti-
mate and 'successful manner has been
proven , by one resourceful woman.
In her home candles play an im-
portant part in the lighting and decor-
ation. "'Orange candle" on a black
walnut highboy in the entrance hall
give a touch of color and a welcoming,
invitation to further cheer; candles in
sleeping rooms, here and there, add a
bit 'of'gayety; _fcandles on the desk
prove an illumination in more than
one sense; and on jhe' dining table
a gentler and more gracious hospital-
ity seems, in some way to come with
the subdued glow of candlelight..
Salvaging the Fractiohs
But hi the average"home,- candle's
must be classed rather as luxuries
than as necessaries, and the expense
taken into consideration. A charred
half -burned candle is a dismal looking
affair, and yet in discarding these
remnants one is, of course, doubling
the cost of the original candle. Even
if the initial expense Of each one is
small, yet the waste is such that one
often thinks twice before putting he
mach to the wick.
Doubtless more than one Housewife
has wondered if there were not some
way to make use of the short ends
which accumulate in amazing quanti-
ties. One woman whose sense . of
thrift forbade her from destroying
them outright found the stock stored
in her pantry drawer growing beyond
all sensible- limits, and set to work to
devise some practicable Way of using
them. At last' she evolved a plan
which proved not only an economy
but a pleasure as well.. Most of the
ends were Just about a half length of
candle, so that two Of them, if fasten-
ed together, 'would provide a candle
of the proper size. After experiment-
ing in various ways, she hit upon the
following scheme.
With a Sharp 7knife cut,the burned
ends off even. holding these over a
lighted candle until they melted slight-
ly, she pressed them 'firmly together,
and held them so until they hardened.
The result was a caudle' of proper
length but with a very weak spot at
the joining place. This needed to be
strengthened, and this was accom-
plished by means of a decorative col-
lar or band.
Candle Wax for Decoration-,
Colored sealing wax has been
'widely used for candle decoration,
and 'while it' is very lovely for this
purpose, yet, at an average of 10 cents
a stick,' it scarcely fits into a program
of strict economy. Small cede and
cuttings placed in -a pan over a loin
fire meat quickly. After cooling a
few minutes, this Wax becomes easily
manageable . and niay be molded
around the caudle, and ,;pressed into
any design desired,, regular or irregu-
lar. This collar serves as a reinforce-
ment, and when hardened will make,
the .candle as strong there as, at any
other point.
To be attractive, it should be of
contrasting . or harmonizing- color.
Sometimes there will be at hand
enough candles of different colors to
give sufficient' variety, but if not, this
must be found in some other way.•
Common•paraflln wax from the kitchen
pantry provides the founadtion for
many artistic effects, After a small
amount of it has been melted, it may
be colored with a bit of ooinmou en -
made or flat' paint, orange, red, green,
or whatever shade meeta the need.
Other Materials
s a • another s lendid zea-
Wax crayons re a
c y. n
terfal for this purpose, and in' any
home where there are children, a sup-
ply of broken bits,: useless for draw-
ing, will easily be obtainable. In
composition they are very like candles
and may be melted anll molded in es-
aetly the same waq.
A
rich' -effect is gaiue'cl by the use
of metallic paint powder. Several
years ago Ulla paint was quiteexten-
sivelyused in the painting of dried
weeds and flowers, and many homes
still have packagesof it on hand. ; A
plain uncolored .paraffin collar should
be made, and while shaping 1t inplade
the fingers :.should be dipped into the
powder and slight touches of it work-
ed in, This paint conies not only in
gold and Silver, ,but in flame, perple,.
blue, and many other equaik beauti-
ful shades
eautifulshades
The end designed for lighting should
be shaved off to a point with a bit
of wick protruding, melted 'slightly,
and shaped to .a smooth surface. A
degoration'corresponding to the band
will add to . the ;beauty.'
Various Effects
Two. candles of different colors may
be put together, and if the decoration
at they"joining is correctly done, the
result will be very' effective. Like-
wise, two candles of dissimilar shape
may be combined, _a square one below
and a round one above,, or a twisted
one beneath around one.
These few suggestions. will prove
only the start of a bit of pleasant.

artltps Crust Believed
Cause of Latitude Va
P'ssiLl, e_,istenee of a constant tide
in the earth's "crust 'caused' by the
moon, similar on a smaller scale to
the sea',- lunar -activated tides, is a
theory advanced by Dr. Harlan T.
Stetson, assistant professor of astron-
omy , at If.arvarcl University, ' as the
result of nine months of research into
the m'oon's effects. '
The research started, Dr. Stetson
said, in seeking a reason why the
]attitude of a definite' point on the
globe, measured from the , equator,
vary widely when -taken at different
times.' 1L is now established beyond
reasonable doubt, Dr. Stetson asserts
that this variation is caused by the
moon: ":
The'ehact means by'whieh the moon
causes this variation is as yet un-
certain, Dr. Stetson states, The,exist
ence of an earth tide is one ,possibil-
ity, ,Another theory is that of a moon -
caused tide in the earth's atmosphere,
which would seemingly` change the ppo-
sition of the stars from which meas-
urement is made.
SHIFT, IN AXIS OF ROTATION. -
Still another' concerns a shift in the
earth's: instantaneous' 'axis: of rota-
tion, automatically shifting the earth's
equator. Perhaps, Dr. Stetson sum-
med up, the variation is caused by' a
combination of
all three rather: than
any one alone, as all have enough
basis of fact to waerant' mention.
"Few people realize," ;Dr. Stetson
said;` "that by measuring 'frons the
state' a,point 1,000 miles away' from
the equator may be found within a
foot of accuracy, By looking at the-
aters
