the great central plain and at the north
and upward toward Mexico. Spread
more of the material for the Appalachi-
an system and the height of land north
Of the Ohio River and near the source
OF the Mississippi. Next build up the
mountains. making the Rocky noun
tains higher as you proceed south
ward. Locate some of the principal
peaks and cut depressions in the map
to indicate the canyons of the Colorado
and Arkansas Rivers.
After the work Is we'll laid in put IL
away to dry. You will be greatly sur
prlsed upon looking at it again to dis
cover many cracks and crevices in your
work. Do not be discouraged, as it is
only the water drying out of the tex
ture. These must not be worked over
until thoroughly dry, as there is danger
of the under coat being raised from the
board. Repeat this process until per-
fectly dry, when it will be as hard and
firm as rock.
Now give 1t two coats of white paint
In which there is about as much oil as
you had for painting the board, and It
is ready for the final coloring, which

side of the Appalachian mountains, and
the remaining portion of the Great Cen
trail Plain not included in the food
plains, also along the Red River Of the
North and the Colorado. Add white to
the previous mixture of green for
painting these. Make it considerably
lighter for contrast. For the remain
der of the map, the height above 1000
feet, mix white and Naples yellow.
Paint the snow-capped peaks white,
and the volcanoes vermilion. Trace
the rivers in blue. These will require
two coats. The lakes are made with
Prussian and cobalt blue, yellow, and
white. After all is dry, give it two
coats of white varnish and you will

"Do It."
Peter Cooper, who founded the Coop
er Institute, in New York city. had a
hard struggle. AS boy, his health
was of the frailest. He went to school
but one year in his life, and during that
year he could only go every other day.
But when he was eight years old he
was earning his living by pulling hair
from the skins of the rabbits his father
shot, to make hat pulp.
He had not "half a chance" 1t SEEM
ed almost literally that he had no
chance at all. He went to New York
when he was seventeen years old. He
walked the streets for days before he
got place, and then apprenticed him
self to carriage maker for five years
for his board and two dollars a month.
He had neither time nor money for
what the world called pleasure Of hope.
While he was working for fifty cents
a week he said to himself, "1f ever get
rich will build place where the boys
and girls of New York may have an
education Free" and so he did.
