PUSHING PRINCIPLE TOO FAR.
Nephevn'i Logical Deduction That
Somehow Diepleaied Uncle.
Dr. V. J. McGee of the geological
survey said In Washington, after a
visit to the Adirondack, that tne tor
t llres had cost, at a conservative
ot-tlmate, $1,000,000 a dHy.
-It seems." said Dr. McGee, "rather
foolitth to make laws against timber
titling so as to preserve our forests,
and lo make no law to preserve them
against these terrible fires, which de
utroy more tree Jn a day than the ax
rould destroy In a year.
"The trouble U carelessness. The

"Jacob was an Illinois farmer, and
o&e summer his nephew from Chicago

Jacob told the boy that the first prin

vention at first, but after proofs of Its
practicability were offered their opin
ions changed. The German war office
recounted Its strategic value, and they
believe that photographing pigeons
ran render much assistance, to a be
kIcuIiik army.
The miniature camera weighs only
2V4 ounces, and that is considered the
maximum weight which a homing
pigeon could carry in a flight of not
more than 100 miles. As many as 30
snapshots may be taken automatical
ly, and the Instant of exposure can be
so timed that the desired views will
be obtained. Hy this means oujecis
may be photographed from no greater
height than 150 to 300 feet, an Impos
sible feat for an airship or balloon.
To Preserve Leaves.
A simple method of preserving the
natural color of leaves is to press each
one separately with a hot flatlron, lay
ing tin, leaf upon paper, then rubbing
the Iron over wax or parafflne and
pressing the leaf on both sides until
dry. After Ironing several leaves In
this manner there will be enough wax
left on the paper, so that the leaves
will require Ironing on one side only.
Leaves should not be wet when
ready to be pressed. Spread them

WOULD FUSE WITH THE ORIENT.
Writer Declares That Out of Action
Would Come a Better Race.
In many respects the orientals are
our antithesis, and If our ideals, prin
ciples, and institutions are more
beneflcient, we are under obligation
to present them. There should be no
collision between the Mongol and the
Anglo-Saxon races, but Instead there
Bhould be a fusion. Out of this fusion
there should emerge a better race.
We can learn much from the various
people of the orient which would be
beneficial to ourselves, and while we
receive from them we are able to
contribute the one great principle of
the Anglo-Saxon race, namely, liberty.
Every race that has come Into power
and prominence has stood for some
great, overmastering Idea. That for
which we stand aud which is the great
touchstone of our great national life is
liberty. It Is for our nation, as the
great western wing of the Anglo-Saxon
race, to join in the extension of this
principle, and also to bear the mes
sage of peace. Mason S. Stone, Com
missioner of Education of Vermont, 4n

"Jacob sounded this principle of his
till the boy got tired of it. He would
ret especially tired when he would be
obliged to eat last week's bread and

"Jacob one stormy night said to his
nephew:
"William, I've got to go to the vil
lage. Fetch up and harness one of
tbe horses from the four-acre field.'
-'Which shall I fetch,' said William,
the old horse or the young one?'
"The old one, of course,' said
Jacob. 'Always wear out the old ones

His American Souvenir.
John Schmidt was young and Ger
man. Shortly after he came to New
York his friends In Germany wrote:
"Send us as a souvenir something
typical of American habits."
So John Schmidt looked around.
After observing Americans at home
and In public for a period of three
weeks he considered himself compe
tent to comply with the request. Last
week he sent home the thing which,
in his opinion, most adequately repre
sented American customs and Institu
tions. He sent six packages of chew
ing gum.
Saved His Life and His Rupeee.
During the great flood at Hydera
bad, India, a native banker, overtaken
by the sudden rush of water, made his
way onto a mound, where he was
quickly isolated. The water rose and
the banker's legs were covered to his
knees.
"Fifty rupees, fifty rupees," he
shouted, "to anyone who will save
me!" When the water reached his
shoulders he was shouting: "One
thousand rupees'." When enveloped
to his neck, with death staring him In
the face, he yelled: "Help, help. All
that I have will I give to anyone to
save me!"
Shortly after the water began to re
cede. When once more he was cov
ered only to bis knees an offer of res
cue came; but the banker, plucking up
his courage, cried: "Keep off. keep
off! I wlli not give a rupee!" and suc
ceeded in making his escape free of
charge.

there were formerly open fields di
vided Into long strips of an acre each.
These strips, he said, had a tendency
to curvature owing le the way In
which the oxen walked while plowing
the ground. An instance of that was
seen In the curious 'way in which
Longacre curved. Several of the
strips abutted at right angles on Hyde
nark, and the fact that thty did not

Veils Please the Grocer.
These veils the women folks are
wearing, all nailed down tight under
1 their chins, are a great boon for us
j all right, all right," said an East End
i grocer. "Women, you know, are the
greatest people on earth to come In
j and sample things. They'll take a
I taste of this and a taste of that while
I you're wrapping up something for
them, and the first thing you know
' they've eaten up about a nickel's
I worth of stuff.
"We can't say anything to a woman,
particularly those that are good cus
tomers. Now we don't have to. I
haven't seen a woman taste anything
In the store for a month or so. Those
veils are put on so tight that the only
way they can sample anything would
be to take It through a straw."

The musical clicking noise of the

Burying Cables in River Bed.
It seems odd that telegraph and
telephone companies should be forced
to bury their cables in the bed of n
large river, yet this became necessary
In places along the Ohio during the
recent drought.
The river was so low that boys
eould and did play ball in the very
channel bed, and the exposure left the
telephone cables entirely unprotected.
To avoid a repetition of the Incident,
therefore, the companies have Mug
trenches in the river bed, in which the
iu'jIps have been securely covered.
