ing pains to see that the cork when it
floats on the water will carry the nee

even keel" Another way is to cut
about three inches from hollow straw
(such as is used to suck lemonade) and
TO push the needle inside the straw.
The straw will float and carry the nee
die. Now observe what happens. The
floating needle will slowly swing round
till it points north and south. The
straw will behave in the same way.
Push ii in any other direction and the
moment it is free it swings back again.
We do not know who first observed
the fact that a floating magnetized nee
die will point to the north. Nor do we
know precisely when or where some
unknown inventor used this idea to
make a compass. All we know is that
the Chinese made and used compasses
more than 1000 years ago.
When men began. perhaps 10000
years ago. to sail upon the water. they
used marks upon the shore to guide
them on their way. Long years after
they observed that certain star kept
at all times the same place in the sky.
and they used this pole star as a guide
in steering their ships. Today steam

The Seven Golden CitisA.
The Seven Golden Cities" one of
the most popular legends of the latter
part Of the dark ages, were said to be
situated on an island west of the Afri.
can coast. The island Is represented
As Astounding in gold, with magnificent
houses and temples, "the high towers
Of which shown at a great distance"
The legend also relates that at the
time Of the conquest OF Spain and
Portugal by the Moors, when the in
habitants fed in every direction to es.

BY great number Of people, took to
ships and put boldly out on the high
seas. After tossing about for some
time they landed ON an unknown is
land, the famous spot which in after
years became the seat OF the "Seven
Golden Cities"
'This island" Heylyn says, "was ex.

landed safely the wise old bishops

Turks Way to Prevent Fires.

Primitive in his opinion of every
thing modern or progressive, the un-
speakable Turk has a hazy idea Of
even the origin of a fire, to say moth
ing of the most effective means of
staying its progress when once under
way. Of late, there have been many
serious fires in Constantinople, and
the sultan, having taken cognizance
Of the fact, issued instructions to the
police that they must see that the
number of fires is materially reduced.
After due deliberation and many
conferences, the officials for the police
department concluded that the prin-
cipal cause of fires was insurance,
and that in order to remove the danger
insurance must be stopped. To carry
out this decision police officers make
a house to house visit in the poorer
quarters of the city and inform the
luckless householder that. unless
he brings the next day a letter from
the company showing that he has had
his policy cancelled, he will be i'm
prisoned. Under the circumstances
many of the poorer people annul their
insurance. AS an alternative to can
collation., the police agree to accept
a guarantee of several thousands that
no fire shall break out in the house in
question, or any of the six adjoining

Rules for the Preservation OF Health.
The following 10 rules have been
compiled by committee Of eminent
physicians as the best to follow for
the preservation of health: Don't
leave your rooms in the morning with
an empty stomach. 2-Never expose
yourself to cold air Immediately after
you have partaken of a warm liquid
of any kind. 3-Don't leave your
abode in cold weather without warm
wraps around your shoulders and
breast. 4-Begin respiration in the
cold by breathing through the nose.
This will give the air chance to get
warm before reaching the lungs. s.
Never place your back near a heated
oven nor against wall, warm or cold.
G-Don't stand before an open window
in a railway carriage, nor take drive
in an open carriage, after violent pny-
sical exercise. Don't remain mo-
tionless in cold room, and do not
stand in an open space. on ice or
snow. Stalk only when you must
for the old pharse, Speech is silver,
silence is gold" holds good even in
hygiene. 9-Don't put off your regu-
lar bath. When the skin is not kept
fresh and soft the cold draws the
pores together, and you are rendered
susceptible 10 pulmonary troubles Of
all kinds. 10-Dont retire with cold
or wet feet Nothing prevents sleep
with so much certainty as the neglect
of your pedal extremities.
