A Brave Mans GentIeness.

The Army and Navy Journal gives
a touching incident, which shows how
gentle nature may exist beneath the
sterness which at times reckons not
the life of men while in the pursuit of
victory. The late Commander James
W. Carlin was in command of the Van
dalia at Apia, Samoa, during the ter
rible storm of March 16, 1899. One
evening, some years afterward, on re-
firing to his room while visiting his
sister, he found a mouse that had
fallen into basin of water, and was
struggling for his life. "There was
agony and defiance in that little fell
lows eye," said the commander.
speaking of it the next day. "As I
gazed on that helpless little creature
l thought of that terrible night on
the Vandala. and going to the open
window gently emptied the contents
of the basin. I didn't dry him with
my towel, but I saved his life," the
commander added.

An item of Interest.

They were sitting in the twilight,
and he was explaining how he lost
his money.
"You see, it was this way: In the
quarter stretch my horse was two
lengths ahead, but he gradually lost
ground, till in the home stretch he
was neck and neck with the young
filly-"
..How lovely" she exclaimed, inter
rupting him and moving a little
closer.
How lovely" he repeated. "You
don't understand. I had my money
on the horse that was dropping be-
hind"
"Yes, Harry, I know; but l was
thinking how perfectly beautiful it
must have been to be neck and neck.
Then he gave protracted sigh, ad-
justed his position, and there in the
silence and cleaning they illustrated
in pantomime, modern racing term.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

In Germany 1,O57.93s acres were
seeded to sugar beets last year. The
yield was about 11A tons to the acre,
and the sugar results 1871 per cent.
For ten years Maine has cut logs at
the rate of 400,000,G00 to 450,000,000
year, and now the cut must be increased
to meet the growing demand of the
pulp mills
From Greenwich resords since 1910,
an English meteorologist finds that
when the first three months of the year
are wet there is a tendency for the
summer to be cool.
A smoke ordinance passed in Denver,
Col, some time ago has been declared
unconstitutional, on the ground that
no device or no means exist which will
prevent smoke as adequately as the
ordinance requires.
A raft to contain $4,000 piles is now
being constructed at Seattle, Wash, by
a San Francisco firm to be towed' to
Japan. When completed the raft will

An examination of the COW sheds

A new system of gun firing, consist
ing in enlarging the chamber at the
breech and filling it with water be-
tween the charge and the projectile,
is claimed to give enormously high
muzzle velocities, with less fouling and
cOrrOsion.
An illustration of the new lights
which science throws upon old ques-
tions is the modern explanation of an
experiment made nearly three cen
turies ago by the Flemish physician,
Van Helmont. In a pot of earth weigh
ing 800 pounds he planted willow
branch weighing five pounds. He kept
the plant well watered. and in five
years the willow had gained 164 pounds
in weight, while the earth in the pot
had lost only two ounces. Van Hell
mont inferred that the plants gain was
due only to the water which had been
supplied. Modern botanical science
proves that the gain was in great
measure due to carbon absorbed from
the air.

Mr.. Major, the famous cement man, off New

about Majors Cement !.
The multitudes who use this standard artl-
Gle know that it is many hundred per cent.
better than other cements for which similar
claims are made; but great many do not
know why. The simple reason is that Mr.:
and other manufacturers do not use them. be-
cause they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits. Mr.. Major tells us that one Of
the elements of his cement costs So Is pound,
and another So. IS gallon while large share
OF the sO-called cements and liquid glue upon
the market is nothing more than 16-cent glue.
dissolved in water or citric acid, and, IN some
cases. altered slightly in color and door by the
addition of cheap and useless materials
Majors Cement retails at Is cents and 20
cents BOTTLE and when dealer tries to sell a
substitute you can depend upon It that his
only object is to make larger profit.
The profit on Majors Cement is as much as
any dealer ought to make on any cement. And
this is doubly true in view of the fact that each
dealer gets his share of the benefit OF Mr.. Ma

S., 900 month, throughout the country. Es-
