ject Of this observatory is to study the

as possible regarding temperature,
winds, etc. 1t is a true scientific in
stinct that leads us to sound, as it
were, upward, just as we sound down
ward and explore at the bottom of the
sea. The reasons why Ben Nevis, of
all places, was most suitable were: CD
Because it was the highest mountain
in the British isles. rising to 4,406 feet;
ca its summit was in close horizontal
proximity to a sea-level station at Fort
William: 90 it was situated in the
track of the Southwest storms, which

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

When a girl says, Nov, STOP" the
wise man wants to.
Every woman thinks that to a man
she must be fascinating puzzle.
The first thing to learn about gaw1
is the kind of clothes not to wear.
The day before a woman goes to stay
all night with another woman she
scratches out the number of her shoes.
A woman looks on marriage as q
chance to raise her social position; a
man looks on it as chance to lower
his own.
After she gets married the average
woman takes about as much care of
her ideals as she does of her old fine
tooth comb.
A woman's mouth, when it is in re-
pose, shows her character, when it
isn't it is generally showing some 9TH
er woman's.
A woman begins to enjoy her Christ
mas presents about New Years. She
spends the time in between wondering
what they cost.
When a man is engaged to woman
he thinks of her half the time he does
MT see her. After they get married
he thinks of her half the time he sees
her.
If everybody really felt as nice and
kind to everybody they meet on
Christmas as they pretend to there
wouldn't be any use in having any
Christmas.

was not an easy task for the veterin-
airy surgeons. because a buffalo is a
powerful animal. and he does not like
any one to take liberties with him.
But the operation was performed and
the buffalo evidently felt better after
it, Now the great creature goes will
ingly to the side of his cage when the
surgeons approach. He knows them
and remembers that they relieved him,
and there is no sign of anything but
pleasure on his part when he sees
them.

HEAVY GUNS DESTROY EARS.
Why So Many Artillerymen Safer From
Defective Hearing.

Defective Hearing.
The stunning report of each gun as
it is fired is something that a stranger
on the deck of a ship of war will long
remember There is an old saying,
deaf as a post Now in the English
navy this is changed to deaf as a
post captain" No man can go through
a long series OF guanery practices
without having his hearing seriously
affected. Some men put cotton in their
ears, but even this precaution does lit
tie to deaden the terrible shock. And
if the firing Of one or two guns has
such shattering power, what would
be the effect if the whole armament
were in action together? 1t Is i'm
possible to conceive the strain on nerve
and senses of the rending conclusion.
If a visitor watches the firing of one
Of the monster nne-inch guns and then
places himself beside one of the small
er pieces. the report made by the one
OF the other The extra distance to the
muzzle of the big pieces discounts the
sound. The only apparent difference
between the two appears to be that
the small pieces have a sharper. high
er-pitched note. and that the six and
neinch guns speak with more of a
believing roar One piece Of advice
may be given to any one who finds
himself in the neighborhood of a gun
in action. The noise will not have
nearly the same effect if you are
watching the gun us if the crash comes
unexpectedly. Unronsciously nature
prepares you to resist a shock which
is known to be impending.
