given that the beaver was not to

out his plan, and in four weeks

Comfortable Shoes,
People who are troubled with
cold feet may take heart. In
Germany there has been patented
a contrivance
o~heatable shoe.�
The heel 1s hollowed out, and
in this hollow is a receptacle for
a glowing substance similar to
that used in Japan.
The heating substance in the
heel keeps the water warm, and it
circulates while the wearer is
walking, thus imparting a pleas-
ant warmth to the foot. A small
safety-valve is provided, so that
the bag cannot burat.
The warmth given, by the sole
never rises above neventy degrees
Fahrenheit, and will last about
eight hours. Popular Science
News says that the sole is not
uoreagonably thick, deing only
slightly thicker than that of the
wet weather shoe.

child alone in the house. It seems
that the child built a fire which
