1t is a simple matter to make it
Two loops in the cord, one passed be-

ever it is intended to secure.
Then the ends are pulled tight and

Sometimes you will want to mend a
broken fish rod, bat, handle to an
axe, an oar. or some such matter. The
most simple and the best way to do
this is by using the long loop splice
1t must be made with firm. we'll
twisted cord, or it can be made with
copper or soft annealed iron or steel
wire.
If small articles are to be mended,
stout linen thread may be used, but it
should be we'll waxed.
Fasten the ends of the broken arti-
Gle together temporarily with bit Of
thread or with wax. Make a long
loop and lay it along on top of the
part to be mended, beginning below
the fracture and ending beyond it.
With the thumb of your left hand
hold the loop where it is doubled over.
Wind the cord at the open end of
the loop two or three times around
the article to be mended in such a
way as not to pull open the loop; then
wind the cord close and tight the rest
of the way to within a short distance
of the other end of the loop.
Be careful to lay the cord neatly and
firmly, SO that no part of it lies on
any other part.
If you find difficulty in starting to
wind your cord without pulling apart
the loop, you may fasten the part of it
where you have to begin winding
with pin or with small curtain tack,
which you can remove afterward.
Having reached within a short dis
lance of the doubled over end of the
loop, thread the end of your cord
through the loop and pull it until the
loop disappears, being tucked we'll
away under the wrapped layers of
Irvine
This makes an extremely neat
splice. If, however, the break is
square across or too abrupt to admit
this treatment, splints will first have
to be laid along on each side of the
fracture and the whole wrapped as de-

The education Of a boy among the
Eskimo begins when he is SIX years
old. AT that age he Is sent out daily
with bow and arrow to shoot small
game and to hunt for birds eggs
When he is twelve he gets a spear

At fourteen or fifteen he is old enough
to go whaling, and is considered one

In this they are more fortunate than
the little girls Of Armenia, where
children are not allowed to have dolls
for fear they should worship them as

Among some Of the tribes Of Cen

At that time they march two and two,

boys they may chance to meet.

parents arrange a match for them.

Birds That Fish for Men.

The Chinese of Annoy have queer
way of capturing fish. They tame a
sea bird similar 70 the pelican, then
fasten string abou: his neck, max
ing it impossible for him to swallow.
The bird is then set loose. and fol-
lowing his natural instinct, he goes
fishing, filling his pouch. But as he
cannot swallow his catch, he IS
obliged to return to his Chinese mas
ter, who takes his fish from him, re-
moves the string, and gives him two
or three of the fish.

The control which the government
exercises over railroads makes it
feasible in Germany to get govern
ment aid for the plan by arranging
for special trains with practically
nominal rates of fare.
Having arranged this, the plan is
TO start a number of schools from a
number of cities at the same time; for
instance, a school starts from Ham
burg to Leipzig and at the same mo-
ment school starts from Leipzig to
Hamburg. A Berlin school sets out
on trip to Kiel at the same moment
that the Kiel school starts for Berlin.
Arrived in the city of their destina-
ton, each school repairs at once to
the schoolhouse of the pupils who are
on their way to the other city This
schoolhouse is thus converted into a
temporary hotel for the visiting pupils.
1t will be seen that this simple plan
would enable the pupils from each
city to make the circuit of all the
rest, finding vacant schoolhouse in
each city.

UILL THERE BE "TP4DEI gCHOOLC"2

A striking suggestion has been made
in Germany, and is being discussed
earnestly by prominent authorities on
the subject of education.
1t is to take the schools on voy-
ages-not merely short trips to neigh
boring localities, but on journeys that
shall cover all Europe and finally all
the world.
The idea behind the proposition is
that this method will enforce the value
of what is taught, because, after the
pupils have had a course, say in the
political geography of a certain ter
ritory, they will be taken over that
section and thus will gain an imme-
date and unforgettable knowledge of
it.
The plan at present is to limit the
travelling to journeys through Ger
many only, and the scheme for pro-
viding the travelling facilities is ex-
tremely simple.

To Chase Earthquakes

In April of this year there will be-
gin a curious international work
which is to last twelve years.
1t is the work of watching the
earthquakes of the world; and most
of the nations will contribute earth
quake detectives.
The object is to learn something
about earthquakes that may lead to a
discovery Of their causes; the hope is
that something may develop which
will enable scientists to warn persons
in threatened districts in time so that
they may escape, just as is done now
in the case of storms.
This international hunt for the earth
quake was organized in Strasburg,
Germany, during the last session Of
the international Seismic Congress.
All the nations that joined in the work
then have agreed to use all available
government departments to gather
statistics about earthquakes, and to
forward them to the Central Bureau,
which is the German Imperial Central
station for Earthquake Study in
Strasburg.
Rules and regulations have been laid
down for observation, and the mem
bers know just what facts should be
gathered. Whatever money can be
raised will be used for the establish
ment of observatories and experiment
stations in lands that are sufferers
from these disturbances.
The reports that are sent in to the
Central Station will be edited and
published periodically.
The delegates who voted for the
organized earthquake chase repre-
sented the United States, Mexico,
Chill, Argentina, the Congo Free
State, Japan, and most of the govern
ments of Europe.

who doesn't have to tie knots
4 for one reason or another
And despite the centuries
of knot tying, only a small proper
ton knows how to make one prop
erly.
Yet life may depend on a good knot
III an emergency.
The principle in knot tying is ex-
ceedingly simple. The knot must be
made so that no amount of strain will
make it slip the fraction of an inch;
and still it must not be tied so that
it JAMS that is, fails to unite read
lily when the proper end is pulled.
The latter condition is as important
as the former; for often it is as ina
portant to be able to cast off (untie)
a knot as to tie it.
There are long lists of technical
knots with bewildering names-the
really useful knots that are required in
ordinary pursuits are comparatively
few and simple.
The best apprenticeship in knot ty-
ing is in learning how to tie up a
bundle.
Perhaps the best knot used in tying
up packages is one where the end of a
cord is doubled back and the knot tied
near the end. This results in form
ing loop of Irvine that will break
before it loosens under strain
A great amount of string is wasted
usually in doing up parcel; and few
persons really know the best manner
of tying up a package.
Begin by measuring off enough cord
to go along the top of the parcel
lengthwise and half way down the
side. Double this length, and in a
similar manner lay off four times the
length of cord required to go across
the package and allow several inches
over.
Carry the cord once around the
package the long way and twice
around it, once near each end, cross
ways.
Secure the parts of the cord that
cross by winding one once around the
other.
Tie the cord with loop knot where
the longer piece of cord intersects the
shorter near the right-hand end of
the parcel as it lies before you.
Secure any length of Irvine left un-
used by fastening it along the longer
cord between the two crossings OF
the others. This thickens and tends
to strengthen the part of the Irvine
naturally used as handle with which
to convey the package.
One of the extremely useful knots
is the Glove hitch, which is not knot
at all until it is put in position around
a rod or some such support and pulled
tight.
Then no knot equals it for taking
hold and holding on to TIE most
slippery of surfaces, even glass tube
The cord must not be too hard in tex
ture or too large in diameter.
1t is simply impossible to pull any
object out of Glove hitch
This knot is the best fastening in

up children. Among the SER
~ Indians Of the Gulf Of Cali
fornia the boys are not ex-
pected to obey their father. In fact,
he never presumes to admonish or
correct them. The mother is the
ruler Of the children, and if she is
not obeyed she appeals to one Of her
brothers, and the word of an uncle is
the supreme law to Seri child
If there is any chastising to be done
the uncle does it, while the father
looks on with indifference.
Among the Navajo Indians father
must not correct his son after the boy
has caught a rat by his own unaided
efforts. Before the boy has accom-
plished this, the father may fog him
as he thinks necessary, but after the
rat has been caught he must not lay
hands on him, however young the boy
may be.
In the Philippines, children are al
lowed to smoke as much as they
