WATCHES THE SNOWSHEDS.
WOmGA HaS Chosen and
Ably Fills.

Mrs. Paul Reicke sits hour after hour
each day, field glass in hand, upon a
lofty peak in the Sierra Nevada noun
tains watching for fires in the snow
sheds that line the railroad through
the rocky Businesses. She and her hus
band have undertaken the task for the
company. says the Chicago Chronicle.
The man watches for fires by night and
the woman in the daytime.
Red mountain, on the brow Of which
stands the signal station, has a bold,
bare front that juts out from the main
range across the canyon of the Iuba
river, opposite Cisco station, four miles
away. The signal house is small, but
substantial. and has glass front.
There are fire alarm signals situated
all along the interior Of the sheds. only
a half mile separating one from the
next, and there are track walkers to
keep constant lookout night and day
and to turn in an alarm if they see
anything wrong. But there might be
fires which they would not see until too
late and the entire chain of sheds
might be singed off the landscape while
they would be running to the nearest
alarm box, even if they did see the
flames, if the woman up on the noun
tain top did not flash a much quicker
alarm into Cisco by telephone and have
the fire trains rushing to the scene
within 60 seconds of the time the first
smoke appeared.
Both Mr.. Reicke and his wife are peo-
pie of culture and knowledge of the
world. Mrs. Reicke is quite young and
comely Mr.. Reicke is the father of
grown sons. some of whom are in busl-
ness in San Francisco.
Mr.. Reicke goes into town once
week for supplies and to attend to
whatever business connected with the
company may arise. In his absence,
should he remain over night, Mrs.
Reicke must remain at her post with
out sleeping. 1t is then that her posi-
tion is enough to awe any woman, or
even a man. Absolutely alone on top
of a mountain 5000 feet high, and sur
rounded by smaller mountains on all
sides, without other human habitatiOn
closer than four miles-solated in this
tremendous solitude, with nothing to
do but sit at window and with a field
glass patrol the distant line of civiliza-
ton across the canyons and other
mountain tops throughout the long
day, and pehaps Throughout the long,
dark night as well-that is position
which few women would have the nerve
to occupy and one in which few women
would be trusted.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

Electricity has Just been applied to
the making of cigal cites and cut to-
bacco, and hundreds of hand workers
will eventually be displaced by the
innovation.
South Carolina is now manufactur-
ing all the cotton she produces. North
Carolina, Georgia and other southern
states are also turning out large
part Of their cotton in finished goods.
To-day there are dozen large mills
and 175 lace-mak;ng machines in the
United states. These machines rep
resent an invested capital of nearly
So ,0GO,0 900, and turn out annually
4.5OO, 900 pairs of curtains, valued at
$29 100000.
Pennsylvania's coal output is great
er than that of all other parts Of the
country combined, equal in quantity
to the mine returns to Great Britain,
and larger than is taken from the
mines of all nations in the world e1-
cept the United Kingdom.
One of the largest works Of mans
hands is the artificial lake, or reser-
voir, in India, at Rajputana. This
reservoir, said to be the largest in
tie world, and known as the great
tank of Dhebar, and used for irrigat-
ing purposes, covers an area OF 2l
square miles.
The Academy of Natural Sciences,
WHICH claims the distinction of hav-
ing been the first scientific body to
issue publication in the United
States. is shortly to resume the dis
tribution of it's proceedings in print
ed form. It's earliest publication was
an octave journal, begun in 1877, and
continued until 1912.
1t is a well-established fact that
plants can be improved by crossing
and judicous selection quite as sure
ly and effectively as the breeding of
animals. The sugar beet may be
quoted as an example of what culti-
walton may do. The sugar beet Of
to-day actually contains about three
times as large proportion Of sac
charine matter as it did a century
ago.
The average dietary of individuals
in different countries varies greatly.
An English statistician, Mr.. r. F.
Crawfol d, finds that an inhabitent OF
the United Kingdom consumes much
more meat than Belgian. French
man or German. but in smaller pro-
portion of bread and potatoes. More
gium than in any other country con-
sidered, while French peculiarity is
the apparent small use of milk.

An Old Tortoise.

The life of land tortoise is known
to be long one, and this is the time OF
year when the suburban correspond
ents delight in telling of old stagers
with dates carved upon their shells,
which may or may not be authentic.
The first of the season came to hand
one day lately and deals with the expe-
rience of Lynf6rd Knowles of Leeds
Point. n. j. Mr.. Knowles wanted to rid
his cellar of snails. and was told that
tortoise would do the trick. After a
brief search he found,one on the Town
send farm. and cut into its shell was
the following inscription: u. L. & H.,
B., 1912" If the date is to be relied
upon. the turtle must be at least SO
years old.-Phladelphia Record.

The canopy over the station of the chancellor commander is an attractive arrangement of rich figured cloth.
 The lodge room is approached by three ante rooms, all handsomely fur nished. At the other end Of the build

Some of the druggists in the northern
part of the state are giving up their
liquor permits rather than submit to
the continued espionage OF the detec-
tives of the enforcement league. The
league has made much trouble for
druggists in Walsh, Pembina and a
alier counties, and a recent decision OF
the supreme court holds that a drug
store may be closed rs a nuisance.
This carries with it other penalties
following conviction-namely, the de-
struction of the furniture and belong
ings used in the di~spensation of liquor.
With this advantage, the enforcement
league is in position to make the drug
gists keep close to the line. The state
pharmaceutical association at it's last
meeting declared for the removal of the
sale of liquors from druggists or the
repeal of the prohibition law. the phar-
macists being wearied of the odium
cast upon the whole profession by the
practices of a few drug stores.'
