Treatment OF SunstrOke.

Sunstroke is caused by excessive heat,
and especially if the weather is
muggy." 1t is more apt to occur on
the second, third, or fourth day of a
heated term than on the first. Loss of
sleep, worry, excitement, close sleeping
rooms, debility abuse of stimulants,
predispose to il. 1t is more apt to at
tack those working in the sun, and es-
pecially between the hours of eleven
o clock in the morning and four o. clock
in the afternoon. On hot days wear
thin clothing Have as cool sleeping
rooms as possible. Avoid loss of sleep
and all unnecessary fatigue. If work
ing in doors, and where there is arti-
fetal heat-laundries, etc, see that the
room is well ventilated.
If working in the sun, wear light
hat mot black, as it absorbs heat)
straw, etc., and put inside of it on the
head, wet cloth or a large green leaf;
frequently lift the hat from the head and
see that the cloth is wet Do not check
perspiration but drink what water you
need to keep it up, as perspiration pre-
vents the body from being overloaded.
Have, whenever possible, an additional
shade, as thin umbrella, when walk
ing, a canvas or board cover when work.
ing in the sun. When much tatigued
do not go to work, but be excused from
work, especially after eleven o'clock in
the morning on very hot days. if the
work is in the sun. If feeling of fatigue,
dizziness, headache or exhaustion oc-
ours, cease work Immediately, lie down
in a shady and cool place; apply cold
cloths to and pour cold water over the
head and neck. If any one is overcome
by the heat, send Immediately for the
nearest good physician. While waiting
for the physician give the person cool
drinks of water or cold black tea, or
cold coffee, if able to swallow. If the
skin is hot and dry, sponge with or
pour cold water over the body and
limbs, and apply to the head pounded
ice wrapped in towel or other cloth.
If there is no ice at hand. keep a cold
cloth on the head, and pour cold water
on it as well as on the body.
If the person is pale, very faint and
pulse feeble, let him inhale ammonia for
n few seconds, or give him teaspoon
full of aromatic spirits of ammonia in
two tablespoonfuls of water with little
sugar. -Neao York Board of Health.

THE LITTLE MAID FOR ME.

know little maiden,
Whom | always see arrayed in
Silks ana ribbons, but she is n spoiled and
petted little elf;
For she never helps her mother or her sister,
or her brother.
But, forgetting all around her, lives entirely
for herself;
So she shippers, and she signs,
And she mOpes, and she cries.
And knows not where the happy hours fee
Now let me tell you privately, my darling lit
tie friends,
She's rs miserable as miserable can be.
And Ifear she's not the little maid for me.
But know another maiden,
whom I've often seen arrayed in
Silks AMI ribbons, but not always: she's prll.
dent little elf;
And she always helps her mother, and her sis
ter. and her brother,
And lives for all around her, quite regardless
of h, rself:
So she laughs and she sings,
And the hours on happy wings
Shower gladness round her pathway as they
fee.
Now need tell you privately, my darling lit
tie friends.
Shes as happy as a little maid can beP
This is surely just the little maid for me.

A Magnificent Telescope for Russia.

The Russian Observatory at Poulkovo
will shortly be in possession of a gigan-
tic telescope. For long time this OBJ
servatory, constructed in 1889 by order
of the Gar Nicholas, possessed the
most powerful instruments in the world.
but OF late years the scientific progress
which has been made in England,
France and the United States has put
the Poulkovo Observatory in the shade.
The University of Virginia, for instance,
has now the enormous Mccormick tele-
scope, the objective of which is 26f
inches in diameter and thirty-three
feet long, while the Naval Observatory
at Washington has one of the same cali
Der, and Mr.. Leck, wealthy Californian,
is about to place still greater telescope
on Mount Hamilton, near st. Jose.
Four years ago the Russian Govern
ment accordingly determined to con-
struct new instrument which both in
respect to its mechanism and optic
power would surpass any existing tele-
scope. The astronomer Otto Sturve
was commissioned to superntend the
work, the execution of which was in
trusted to Messrs. Alvin Clark & Co., of
Cambridge. Mass. The glasses, consisting
of an amalgam of flint and crown glass,
have been in hand for nearly year,
and by the month of October they will
be ready for use. The total length of
the Poulkovo telescope will be forty-live
feet, and the diameter of the glass thirty
inches, exclusive of the mounting The
telescope will be placed in meadow to
the southwest of the principal building
OF the Poulkovo Observatory, and it will
stand upon movable iron turret which
will itself rest on rails. The telescope
will be so powerful that the moon will
be brought to an apparent distance of
only hundred miles from the earth. -

The total number of journals pub
lished in France is 3, 272, being 1,343 in
Paris and 1929 in the provinces. Of
the former it is surprising to find that
the mos, numerous class is financial,

about 100000 tons. The estimate for
Europe is as follows: Spain, 120, 600;
Germany, 10000; England, $1,000;

second e-producing country in the
world. Spain leads us only in the
amount of 10000 tons, and has been
rapidly declining for the past few years.
We are now consumers of about one
fourth of the worlds lead product, and
bid fair by another year TO take rank as
the first, and capable of furnishing a
surplus to the foreign markets.
