The dry material contains over 70 per<br />
cent of sugar. That is to say, there will<br />
be more than seventy pounds of sugar in<br />
every 100 pounds of the evaporated<br />
product. Accordingly, the latter, on<br />
being ground to a fine meal, is exceedingly<br />
sweet, and well adapted<br />
for the making of cakes and<br />
puddings. It is estimated to<br />
contain something like<br />
eighty-two per cent of pure<br />
nutriment.<br />
The expectation is that<br />
this new kind of flour will<br />
come into extensive use,<br />
especially in the manufacture<br />
of cakes and sweet bread.<br />
It is not only very nutritious,<br />
but guaranteed germ-free to<br />
start with, by reason of the<br />
high temperature to which<br />
the raw material is exposed<br />
in the process of evaporation<br />
it can be kept germless.<br />

SUBMARINE CHAIN CUTTER<br />
'T'lIE submarine wire rope and chain<br />
^ machine shown in the accompanying<br />
illustration was designed in London,<br />
England, and is utilized for cutting wire<br />
rope or chain under water, the working<br />
lever being operated at any convenient<br />
position or distance from the actual cutter.<br />
It was especially designed for salvage<br />
work and in cases of ropes fouling<br />
ships' propellers and dock gates. It is<br />
also utilized to advantage for naval purposes<br />
as in clearing away obstructions<br />
used in harbor defense, buoy line and<br />
mine cables. It is stated that with this<br />
unique apparatus wire ropes up to six<br />
inches circumference of any make or<br />
quality can be cut in about a minute.<br />
In charging the cutter the ram is<br />
moved back and the reservoir filled with<br />
clean water with a small quantity of<br />
glycerine added, the air screw in the<br />
device being opened and the relief valve<br />
screwed up when ready to cut the rope.<br />
The cover is opened and the rope inserted<br />
when the former is replaced and<br />
locked. The pump is then operated by<br />
means of the lever until the rope is cut<br />
bv the shears. The relief valve then has<br />
its screw slackened in order to return the<br />
shears.<br />
LIVING CARD TRAY<br />
'X'HOUSANDS of visiting cards have<br />
' been attached to the little arbor on<br />
Inspiration Point, Southern<br />
California, until it has nearly<br />
enough old pasteboard to<br />
supply a paper mill. Not<br />
only the side of the "proposal<br />
bower," shown in the<br />
photograph is adorned with<br />
these bits of cardboard, but<br />
every branch and twig forming<br />
the little arbor is similarly<br />
bedecked. Names and<br />
addresses from all parts of<br />
the world may be read on<br />
these cards, as it is one of<br />
NTic Photo<br />
Rat King." the great points of interest<br />
for tourists.<br />
This living card tray is only another<br />
means by which people, tourists especially,<br />
show their craving for leaving<br />
their names and addresses in prominent<br />
places. This propensity usually grows<br />
stronger the farther from home the traveler<br />
finds himself.<br />
The "Proposal Bower."<br />
Cards are hung here by tourists from all parts of the<br />
world.
