were anticipated by some savage
tribes, in the use of poisonous gas for

attacking party, each holding a pan
with embers in the other. When the

sprinkled the embers on the peppers.

Spaniards in Venezuela. In some way
pepper was largely used in exoroising

TOUGH MEATS
Meat may be cooked in water in
a number of ways without being al -
Dewed to reach the boiling point. With
the ordinary kitchen range this is ac-
complished by cooking on the cooler'
part of the stove rather than on the
gottest part, directly over the fire,
Experierice with a gas stove, parti-
,eularly if it has a small burner known
as a "simmerer," usually enables the
Coox . to maintain temperatures which
are high enough to sterilize the meat
• a it has become accidentally contami-
nated in any way and to make it ten -
dor without hardining the fibres.
The double boiler would seem to be
a. neglected utensil for this purpose.
Its contents can easily be kept up to
teinperature of 200 degrees P., and.
nothing will burn. Another method is
• bv means of the fireless cooker. a In
this a high temperature can be main -
tallied for a long time without the
'application of fresh beat •
.„ Still another method is by means of
a closely covered baking dish. Earth-
enware dishes of this kind suitable for
serving foods as well as for cooking
are known as casseroles. For cookieee
purposes a baking dish covered wit"a
a. saucer may be substituted.

- Fire alarm paint is coming into use
abroad. At ordinary temperatures
the paint is light red, but when heated
It becomes darker. Long before it
reached the temperature of boiling
Water it becomes black. On cooling
It returns to its original shade. The
Principal use found for it is in paint-
ing machinery parts that are liabls
to overheat. An attendant needs; only
to glance at the machinery occasionel-
