Probably no better example of the master tools of the insect world is fupnished than by the saw of the saw' fly. Two saws, placed close together are carried by this insect, The up- per part of epch saw is braced and ' the teeth ale on the lower side.

The Rhyssa fly \has a particularly formidable "keyhole saw," so strong it can cut hickory. This saw is as elastic as the most finely tempered steel blade and about as thick as a horsehair.

The tremex has perfected the art of using a natural auger. The tool, which is as long as the carrier's body is rigid, but so elastic that it will re- turn to its 6riginal shape after bend- ing. The tip has a sharp point and sharp, inward -curving teeth, and the shaft has a series of depressions. The depressions on the shafts are sharply edged liking their entire length, smoothing the hole as they enter. In boringa hole for its egg, the insect lifts its body as high as possible, in- serts/ the tip of the borer, bending its legs at: the tool cuts in, until the in- sect at last is lying flat' on the wood. Stilettos. lancets and augers are the commonest tools of the insect world. Blood -sucking insects all carry stilettos with which they cut through the tissues of the victims until the blood vessels are bared. Even the hammer is to be found 'in nature. The Brazilian beetle (Pas- salidae) carries upon one of the seg- ments of the abdomen tiny chitin hammers that work upon string -like projections of the same material to produce a continued chirping sound. This beetle lives in runways of wood, and, unlike most other insects, cares for its young, using, its hammer and the resultant chirp to call the larvae in the dark tunnels so that they can be fed.

Solomon was a king of the first magnitude and yet he gave himself up to the study of divine things.

For instance, in WAXING AND FRENCH POLISH- ING OLD FURNITURE Would you like to own choice pieces of furniture that grow finer and finer in appearance with the passing of years? It is neither costly nor par- ticularly difficult to do so, provided you master the art of refinishing old pieces. Then you can buy or per- haps find in your own attic discard- ed pieces covered with dirt and crack- ed varnish and with a little work make them look as well or better than when they were new. Dealers in antiques frequently re- finish old pieces. The cost of refin- ishing even a simple old table may be as high as $15, but they consider it well worth the price. Any one who is willing to take pains to follow the directions below can put on as good a finish as the average antique furniture expert and at practically no cost except in time. I am -confi- dent of this because my own furni- ture has been finished in this way, and I have spent considerable time in refinishing furniture for friends who collect antiques. To have the wend in perfect condi- tion before applying any finishing material is most important in re- finishing old pieces. The old finish, usually varnish, should be removed entirely. Scrape it from the flat surfaces with an old knife or scraper and on the curved surfaces apply sal soda and water to loosen the old finish. It can then be scraped off with a stick made to fit the curves. A putty knife is useful for scraping and commercial or homemade varn- ish ?movers can be used as freely as seems necessary. After the varnish is off, the wood should be washed with warm water and soap. When the wood is dry, the surface should be inspected care- fully and any broken veneer replaced or patched. If you have no veneer and cannot obtain any easily, plane a piece of the same kind of wood rather thin, fastening it in place with hot glue, and, when the glue is dry, work it •down with plane, chisel, razor blade and sandpaper. Nail holes or screw boles may be Viking, Alta.—"From the time I was 15 years old 1 would get such sick feel- ings in the lower part of my abdomen, followed by cramps and vomiting. ,This kept me from my work (I help my par- ents on the farm) as I usually bad to go to bed for the rest of the day.

Do not wait too long before wiping becausp the filler gets as hard as stone. 'After twen- ty-four hours you may ' sandpaper the surface smooth. Expert furniture refinishers seldom use varnish on old pieces,and their process is more or less secret. I use either a shellac and wax finish or a French polish. ' A shellac and wax finish is very durable and will not crack in time, as even the best varnish is apt to. Ap- ply the shellac thin and allow twenty- four hours for drying. The first two coats of shellac may be well smoothed with very fine sand- paper. Moisten the back of the sand- paper to make it more pliable, and put a drop of oil on the surface to prevent scratching the finish and to help build up a more beautiful polish. After each of the remaining four or five coats of shellac are dry, rub it across the grain with pumice stone and pale rubbing oil or linseed oil. The next step is to rub a thin film of wax over the entire surface of the wood. It should be rubbed on with enough friction to melt the wax.
