said no Finally he agreed TO take Jul
neau 10 the camp yesterday as he (Ju-
neaut was 10 return home this morning.
Circumstances prevented Mr.. Thorp from
accompanying the child, SO he went with
an aunt. She returned TO the house after a
while and expected that Juneau would
follow her.

padding around on plank when brisk

WAR AND WARRIORS.

Spain, according to the war office sta
tistics, had sent, up to the end of 1896,
19s,O47 men and 40 generals to Cuba.
The deaths in the field and from yellow
fever and other diseases were four gen.
erals and 22,731 men and officers.
In nearly all the great European wars
hostilities have begun without a pre-
vious declaration, and the fact is re-
called that instead of declaring war
against Mexico in 1916, the United
States congress declared that a state Of
war already existed as a result of Next
can aggressions.
AS result Of the discovery made in
Roentgen ray photography of the iden-
tity of actinic rays of light with those
which occasion sunstroke, it is pro-
posed to line the British soldiers hem
let with strip of ruby-colored material
as the best protection for the brain
The fatalities at Majuba showed that
white helmets were dangerous articles
OF head gear in the sun.
The German war office has recently
published an official statement of ex-
perlments made with the Mannlicher
rifle, caliber .315, to determine the
thickness of various materials neces~
sary to afford protection against small
caliber, small-arm projectiles. These
experiments demonstrated the fact that
29h inches of sand. 80 inches of ordi-
nary earth, "a inches of oak timber and
1917 inches Of brick masonry are
necessary to afford protection from
these projectiles.-Military Gazette,

CYCLING NOVELTIES.

Metal tubing for use in making bicy-
Gle frames is stiffened by means of CEN
trial strip of metal brazed to the inner
surface of. the tube, the tubes being
circular, oval, D-shaped, etc, as de-
sired.
Bicycle handles which will permit Of
the rider placing his hands at any de-
sired angle are made in crescent shape
and can be fitted with laced sliding
handle to prevent the hands coming in
contact with the metal.
A bicycle tire recently patented in
England has a fiat tread and is fitted
with overlapping metal strips placed
crosswise of the tire and covered by a
rubber shoe to form nonpuncturabls
running surface.
Toe-clips that can be attached to the
pedals without the aid of screws are
formed of stamped plates with the CEN
ter cut out in tongues to bend around
portions of the pedal and hold it fast.

THE CLEVER CHICKADEE.

allied Very Often the Bird of the
Merry Heart"
One of the most interesting and one
Of the most useful of our common birds
Is the sprightly titmouse, otherwise
known under the popular name of
chickadee, so called because of it's pc
culiar chat: Observation-Disclosures"
In appearance the black-capped
(crested) titmouse has the most jaunty
air conceivable; the neck and head of
d glossy black, the balance of the upper
part of the body being of a peculiar
drab, while underneath it is creamy
white or fawn. The habits of this rest
less, nervous, active little creature
make it general favorite with all those
who have come to know it well.
The disposition of this brave little
fellow is no less remarkable than it's
habits, for it seems to be cheerful un-
der the most adverse circumstances.
No cold Is so intense as to chill it's en-
thusiasm, no storm so severe as to
brighten the chickadee. Let the gale
roar never so fiercely, the chickadee still
voices it's cheerful CALL and continues
Its work in spite of wind or weather.
"Let tomorrow take care of ITSELF"
seems to be it's motto. Emerson refers
to its splendid courage in midwinter
when he writes:
"Here was this atom in full breath,
Hurting defiance at vast death;
This scrap of valor, just for play
Fronts the north wind In waistcoat gray.
AS II to shame our weak behavior"
You may learn a few lessons from
the chickadee. First, never allow sur
roundings or circumstances to dampen
your ardor. If the sky is dark to-day
It may be brighter tomorrow. If dis
couragements exist, never relax your
efforts, but keep right on Saving
wood"
AS an insect destroyer, the chicadee
is invaluable to our agricultural inter
ests, and for this reason Gf for no
other) it should never be killed or it's
eggs destroyed. The chickadee is very
confiding, can be easily tanned, and
seems to be one of mans best friends.

A eo-YEAR-OLD LIFE.SAvER


Strange Old Samaritan of the Sea
Who Lives on a Lonely Island.
Peter w. Green, the governor of a
group of three tiny islands of volcanic
origin off the African coast in the South
Atlantic, and geographically known as
Tristan d'Acunha, is one of the most re-
markable life-savers in the world, says
the New York World. For 60 years and
more he has made life-saving from ship
wreck his business, having little else
to do, as he expressed himself to a re-
cent visitor, the captain of the English
mail boat which touches at the islands
once year.
Mr.. Green is a native of England and
now in his Goth year. At the age of 80,
when sailing before the mast on Brit
ish vessel, he was wrecked near Tristan,
and he and several companions were
saved by the exertions of the natives.
His friends, some time later, were taken
on board passing ship, but Green re-
NAMED there and in the following year
was nominated governor of the islands
because of his wisdom and the esteem
In which he was held. The office he has
held ever since, combining with it the
duties of clergyman and doctor.
Green has always been on the lookout
for persons and ships in distress and
he has saved many hundred lives from
certain death on the rocky coast, the
rescued ones being of all nationalities.
The governor has received decorations
and medals from almost every monarch
In the world in recognition of his hui
name efforts. The United States gov
eminent presented him with a hand
some gold chronometer and chain. His
own sovereign, Queen Victoria, sent him
recently a most appropriate present
namely, life-saving boat, with APP
paratus of the newest models. The
islands which he governs contain only
from SIS to 60 inhabitants, poor natives,
whom Gov. Green has educated to be.
like himself. Samaritans of the sea.
