While standing Oh top of Lookout

While standing Oh top of Lookout
mountain a few days ago, says ". L.
Nisscher in til" hicago TiDes-Heral
I was carried burN TO the memories of
dear old Bill Nye, for we had stood
upon that same spot some years be
fore, and a guide told us that we could
see seven states from that point of
view; namely, Tennessee, Virginia,
Kentucky, North Carolina, South Car
olina, Georgia and Alabama.
"Where's North CaroIina?" Nye in
quired.
The man pointed to place in the
horizon to which distance gave a pur-
pie hue.
What makes you think that is North
Carolina?" Nye asked.
ooh, we know by the direction and
the conformation of the mountains
there" the man replied.
We'll, l know that's not North Caro-
lima" Nye declared, with some vehe-
mence. And you know it, too. if you
would stop to think. Here is a map
Of the United States and you can see
that North Carolina is pink. Besides.
l know it is pink. l live in that state
considerably, and I have helped to
paint it red, but of course I go away
sometimes, and it fades little, leaving
it pink. No, sir; you can't stuff me,
The place you are pointing at color
blind man could see is purple"
Nye said those things so seriously
that the man was almost dazed. He
gave Nye puzzled look, and then went
on pointing out other sister states in
the late confederacy.

Throughout the east the BAN boo plays
an important role in nearly every kind
of outdoor work In building earth
works it is utilized very cleverly indeed
In sandy soil OF in the soft loan along
the swamps two rows of bamboo are
driven. about four feet apart The
lengths of bamboo are about 10 or 10
feet long. and the thickness is about
four inches. Earth or sand is thrown in
between the rows of bamboo, making a
ditch in front of the stockade A third
row of BAN boo is then driven four feet
in the rear of the inner row. but this
row rises only a couple of feet above the
natural level of the soil More earth or
sand is filled in. and the filling in each
case is rammed down as hard as posi-
Bile
Where there has been sufficient
length of time 10 cut portfolios through
the front thickness of earth the men in
the notifications thus thrown up need
not expose themselves at all but when,
as in all cases of rapidly constructed
field works temporary protection alone
has been desired, the rows of bamboo
do not rise more than three feet above
the natural level and the men lie down
or crouch behind the protection thus
afforded and fire over it
Such works will keep out any rifle
ball, and will even so localize shrapnel
fire as TO make it very Ineffective. If
the shrapnel strikes the bamboo before
exploding it will harm only those di-
rectly in front of it If it bursts before
reaching the earthwork the shrapnel
balls will fat to penetrate it

The cowardliness of sharks is well
known among men who have been
much to sea in southern waters infested
by man eaters. The fercest shark will
get out of the sea way in very great
hurry if the swimmer noticing its ap-
preach, sets up a noisy splashing. A
shark is in deadly fear of any sort of
living thing that spashes in the water
Among the south sea islands the ma
tiyes never go sea bathing alone, but
always in parties of half a dozen or so
in order that they may make the great
est hubbub in the water, and thus scare
the sharks away Once in awhile too
venturesome swimmer among these ma
tiyes foolishly detaches himself from
his swimming party and mOmentarily
forgets to keep up his splashing. Then
there is IA swish, and the man eater
comes up beneath him like a flash and
gobbles him
