The most notable triumph OF enSi-
ncering in connection with this work
Is the erection of what is known as
Gobans' bridge. This structure Is dis
tinctive owing TO its curious design,
being clliptical in shape. This piece
of work was rendered necessary to
span gap 10 feet In width. giving ac-
cess from the mainland to an isolated
rock known rs THE Man.ofWa
Owing to the exposed position Of the
site of the bridge. the turbulency of
the surf playing upon the rocks imme-
diately below. and the strength Of the
tides. 1t was found impossible to erect
the bridge on the spot. Under these
circumstances the structure was erect
cd mt Belfast and transferred intact to
scow. The latter was then towed
to The Man.of-War" rock and care
fully brought to. rs far ns possible, i'm
mediately below the spot where 1t was
to be installed. Lifting tackle was
then placed in position upon each side
of the gap TO he spanned at the road
way level. and the lifting cables at
tached TO each end of the bridge. The
holstins operation had to be carried
out with extreme care, owing to the
cramped space in which the lifting
tackle was operated and to prevent
the structure being thrown by Its own
swinging motion when suspended in
the air against the face OF the rocks.

The Earth.BOrn Moon.

Looking back through the mlsts Of
time we see the moon ever drawing
nearer and nearer to the earth. Our
satellite now revolves at n distance Of
240,O0 miles. but there was a time
when that distance was no more than
100000 miles. There was n time, mil.
lions OF years ago, no doubt, when
the moon was but 100000 miles away;
and rs we look further and further
back we see the moon ever drawing
closer and closer to the earth. until
at last we discern the critical period
in earthmoon history when our globe
was spinning round In Il period Of
about five or six hours. The moon, In.
stead OF revolving where we now lind
1t. was then actually close to the
earth; earlier still II was, In fact,
touching our globe. and the moon and
the earth were revolving each around
the other. like a football and O tennis
ball actually fastened together.
1t is impossible to resist taking one
step further. We know that the
earth was, at that early period, soft
molten mass Of matter, spinning round
rapidly. The speed seems to have
been SO great that rupture took place,
a portion Of the molten matter broke
away from the parent globe, and the
fragments cOalesced into small globe.
That the moon was thus born of oul
earth uncOunted millions of years age
Is the lesson which mathematics de
clares 1t learns from the murmur o.
the tides.-Sir Robert Ball In Book

"ikcy, Get or tho Wagon"


The quick wit Of one Of the ushers
at recent wedding averted what
might have been tragedy following
the Joyous ceremony. He had been the
life Of the large house party attending
the wedding. One of his stories particu-
larly pleased the father Of the bride.
The catch line in 1t was, "Ikey. get or
the wagon" After the bride and bride
groom had started on their honeymoon
a number Of the guests went to thea
ter, then to supper, and It was late
when they drove to the home Of their
host.
The house was dark, and though a
ring Of the bell would have brought one
Of the servants, It was decided for a
lark to try to get In, undetectcd, through
window opening on the porch. Being
In a happy mood the party forgot that
there had been some talk during the
day of the possibilities of burglars max.
Ing try for the valuable wedding pres
cnts.
The window fastening was not very
secure and little pressure released II.
Then the usher got his head inside the
window. He saw the CLINT OF polished
steel in the dim light at the end Of the
hall, and he realized his danger OF be-
ing shot for n burglar. Quick as a fash
he shouted, "Ikey. get OF the wagon.
When the brides father opened the
door and let them In, he still had the
revolver in his hand. He said, llttfe
more soberly than he had before, "My
boy. that's great story."-New York

Yankee Ideas Invade Syria.

For the first time the ancient and
primitive methods Of labor in the Holy
Land have been disturbed by the intro
duct!on Of Western inventions. The
natives Of Syria have been jolted out
of the rut OF ages by the boom Of the
thrash!ng machine and the musical
whirr OF the reaping machine!
Last summer an enterprising Ameri-
can imported the first reaper and set
II TO cutting the grain In the Syrian
fields. He had 1t sent all the way
from Chicago. Then a little later a
steam thrasher, the product OF an In
diana foundry. was heard OF In Coele-
Syria. 1t created great excitement
among the native farmers. They Were
afraid OF II at first, then later con-
cluded It to be the work OF the evil
one and tried TO destroy It. They were
with difficulty brought to see Its many
advantages over the old way OF tread
ing out the grain.
The American windmill speedily fol
lowed the thrasher, and q month OF
more ago a -four mill, with machin
cry and oil motor engine complete
from indianapolis, began grinding
wkeat in Lebanon.

Uniaue Indoor snowstorm.

Nature tells of an indoor snowstorm
on a very clear. cold evening at a
party given In Stockholm. Sweden.
Many people were gathered In single

atmosphere was so saturated with

Making Collections of the Beautiful Photo
graphs Given with Malt Breakfast
Food.

Collecting the beautiful photographs
found in Malt Breakfast Food is the
most sensible fad that the children ever
took up.
A beautiful carbon photograph is put
in every package of Malt Breakfast Food
that leaves the factory, and these arts
tic pictures of animals, babies. flowers,
landscapes and ideal heads will do much
to foster the love of the artistic and
beautiful.
Many home now has Malt Breakfast
Food for its morning cereal because
Johnnie or Mary asked mother to buy
it in order that they could have the
photographs, and now mother and father
fast Food is simple, honest food, good to
eat. delicious and satisfying, two full
pounds in every package.
There is nothing queer about Malt
is intended to be cooked before serving,
and in this way the two-pound package
becomes twelve pounds of hot, delicious,
steaming breakfast cereal, that goes
eight times as far, pound for pound, as
the ready-cooked food.
In addition to the 3x4 photographs
that are in every package of Malt Break
fast Food, large photographs, that would
cost two or three dollars at the art stores
are given in return for coupons found il
the packages. These are expensive
carbon photographs, entirely without
advertising, and would adorn the finest
homes.
Meat is high, eggs are higher, but the
price of Malt Breakfast Food stays the
same as ever, although the package ha,
been increased recently. 1t is the mos
economical of all foods. and your grocer
will tell you that it returns your money,
worth more fully than any other cerea
on his shelves.

Guarantees Hyomei VIII Cure il.

Catarrh = Danger Sign. Dir. ". H. sheldon
Guarantees Hyomei VIII Cure it,
There is no more common disease than
catauh, and there is none that is really
more dangerous. 1t is weakening and
facilitating to the whole system, and if
allowed to run will in the end result in
consumption
The prevalence Of catarrh can be rea-
lied by scanning the advertising columns
of any paper. 1t is noticeable, though,
that among the many medicines and
treatments that are advertised to cure
catarrh there is only one which is sold
under the positive guarantee of a reliable
local dealer to refund the money if it
does not cure-this is Hyomei, natures
remedy for the cure of catarrh.
NO dangerous drugs are taken into
the stomach when Hyomei i, used. This
remedy is breathed through small
pocket inhaler that comes with every
Hyomei outfit. The bal-amic fragrance
of Hyomei penetrates to the most remote
cells Of the throat and lungs, kills the
germs of catarrh, heals the irritated
mucous membrane and gives complete
and permanent cure.
DR.. w, H. Sheldon has sold hundreds
of packages of Hyomei: every one under
his personal guarantee to refund the
money if it did not cure. Only two
customers have asked for refund.
This record is something unusual in the
annals of medicine. 1t demonstrates
beyond question the remarkable powers
of Hyomei to cure catarrh.
If you or your friends are suffering
with this dangerous and offensive dis
ease you should not delay taking advan-
tage of DR.. Sheldon's offer to sell you
Hyomei under his mo cure, no pay
