Settlers Making "shakes."

At odd times the settlers had gone
over to the wood-lot and had laid out
their plans for the future home on that
claim There was more variety to be
expected in house building than in
planting. and the boys had looked for
ward with impatience to the beginning
of that part of their enterprise. Logs
for the house were cut from the pines
and frs of the hill beyond the river bluff.
From these, too, were to be riven, or
split, the ''shakes" for the rcof-covering
and for the odd work to be done about
the premises.
Now, for the first time, the boys
learned the use OF some OF the strange
tools that they had brought with them.
They had wondered over the frow, an
iron instrument about fourteen inches
long for splitting logs. At right angles
with the blade, and fixed in an eye at
one end, was handle of hardwood. A
section of wood was stood up endwisc
on firm foundation of some sort, and
the thin end of the frow was hammered
down into the grain of the wood, max
ing lengthwise split.
In the same way, the section OF wood
so riven was split again and again until
each split was thin enough. The final
result was called shake" Shakes
were used for shingles, and even, when
nailed on frames. for doors. Sawed
lumber was very dear; and, except the
sashes in the windows, every bit of the
log cabin must be got out of the print

sunburn on Snow.

Sunburn on the snow has been the
subject OF an interesting investigation
by DIR. Robert l.. Bowles, of England.
Alpine climbers conccde the curious fact
that sun ON snow burns more quickly
than on rocks or in heated valleys at a,
low elevation; and DR.. Bowlcs remarks,
that sunlight reflected from freshly,
faTlcn snow acts much mole energe,icaIly
on the skin than that reflected from
older snow. DR.. Bowlcs one brilliant
day painted his face brown and assembled

quantity Of snow. There were about
eighty others making the ascent. In the.
evening all except DR.. Bowles were.
