BIC SALMON DEMAND
THE WAR IN THE EAST HELPS
 THIS INDUSTRY.
Danger of the Fish Being. Extermin- ated by Wasteful Methods of the Fishermen-Laws of Brit
 ish Columb bia.

The opening of the salmon season in the northwest witnesses new impetus given the industry by the war in the far east. Both Russia and Japan are making heavy demands upon the fish canneries of America and Canada to feed their armies in the field, canned fish being a staple article of diet with both nations. In addition to this in creased demand another reason for the boom in the industry is the removal of Russia as a competitor in the can ming field. It was expected that this year would see the establishment of the Siberian canneries from which Rus Bia expected to supply the markets of Europe to large extent, and so put stop to the importation of this class of goods from America. The war will

of their fish supply by building hatch cries at the head of the streams in which they spread their nets. What was once regarded as a fable is now gaining ground as scientific fact, that a salmon returns to the stream of its nativity to breed. It is said that fish born near the sources of river, on growing strong and vigorous, swim put to sea, plough up and down the ocean for several years, and, then on maturity turn back to breed in their native river. A rushing tide or precip- itous waterfall does not daunt them, and it is common sight to see these fish leaping up cataracts to gain the quiet pools beyond.
 In order to prove the truth of this theory fishermen have branded young fish, turned them loose and say they have captured them years afterward in the self-same streams

HOW TO LEARN TO SWIM.
When Once You Have Learned That the Water Will Bear You
 Up, It Is Easy.

There is no need for so much fuss about learning to swim. It is no trick at all. Once you have learned that the water will bear you up you cannot help swimming, for every movement you make in the water is swimming. Every unweighted human being who drowns, drowns himself out of pure fear, says Woman's Home Companion.
 How can you acquire this confi- dence? Not by going through the mo- tions on the dry land; not by strap around the chest, or corks or inflated rigamajigs. Being tossed in where the water is lover your head and hands" we have agreed to bar. How shall we go at it gently and reason ably? I'll tell you. Begin in still wa ter. Wade out until your shoulders are covered. There's no use pudding and paltering with any less. Squat a little, and get yourself wet all over. Now your pinch is over Get your breath, and let's talk awhile. Don't imagine you are drowning when the water gets into your ears. It is not so terrible as 1t sounds. Even if lit tie slops into your nose, it is silly to make a fuss. It won't hurt you. It takes lot of water to drown a person, and you will soon learn to eject what gets into the nose without having to stop swimming Wade out just lit tie further until 1t is up to. your chin. Lift your chest, and keep 1t expand ed, breathing with the abdominal muscles as if you were singing. Stretch your arSs out to form the let ter T. Hollow in your back and stiff en your spinal column as if you were a person of some importance. Lean your heaN back until only a little patch around your nose and shut mouth is out of the water Lie back There! You are floating. If now you gently paddle with your hands you are swimming.

MAxlMITE SAFE ENOUGH.
But It Is Almost Fifty Per Cent. More Efficient Than Dyn-
 anaite

MT. Maxim will show you one ofyhis important inventions his powerful shell-exploder, known as maximite, which in explosive force is about SC per cent. more efficient than dynamite, and somewhat more powerful than pure nitroglycerine
 This maximite, writes Joseph H. Adams, in "A Day with Hudson Nam im," in St. Nicholas, has lately been adopted by our government as burst ing charge for projectiles and shells, and 1t is equa1ed in shattering force by only two other known substances.
 Tn spite of it's high explosive quality it is a very safe compound to handle, and is practically unaffected by shock, and will not explode by being set on fire-even if mass of it is stirred with white-hot iron. It will burn with a bright green flame, and can be ignited with match.
 All this MT. Maxim demonstrated by lighting apiece of smokeless powder and dropping it in a dish containing some Jumps of maximite. He also melted lead and poured it over dry Jumps of maximite. and, while 1t burned freely, like sulphur or wax, 1t did not ex- plode.
 In appearance maximite somewhat re- sembles sulphur, being yellow in color and quite hard It is easily melted, in which condition it flows like molasses and is poured into steel projectiles.

at least delay the proposed invasion of American commercial territory.
 This country, however, must be care ful of it's fish supply, and take meas ures for it's protection, if it is not in time to be put out of the market by lack of product Stories have come from Alaska, whose waters furnish 35,- 100000 cans each year, or one-half the salmon supply of the world, that the fish is being slowly but surely exter- minated because of the reckless meth ods of capturing them. As a result of a government investigation not long ago, Commander Jefferson F. Moser, of the United States navy, reported that. the Alaskan salmon fisheries were doomed unless the trap nets, now so widely used, were abolished. The trap Is said to kill twice as many salmon as are utilized by the canners. All the fishermen agree that the trap net should be abolished, for the preserva- tion of the business, but each is afraid to give up his traps while his neigh bors are using them. Competition is too keen.
 Both the trap net and the fish wheel have been abolished by law in British Columbia, and nothing but the gill net is now permitted. In this the meshes are woven just large enough to catch the big fish by the gills, while 1t per mits the smaller ones, to escape llnhurt. The Fraser river and it's tributaries form the great salmon supply field of Canada, and this field is carefully pro tected by law so that the fish are not wasted, either by the trap nets of Alaska or the fish wheels of the Colum- bia river. The introduction of the gill met is impossible until congress shall have passed laws compelling it's use, and this the fishermen are willing should be done.
 Some of the canneries have already taken steps to prevent the exhaustion

SUMMER HOUSE FURNISHING
Light Furniture and Airy Hangings That Lend an Air of Cool
 ness and Comfort.

Straw and chintz reign in charming summer homes. Willow chairs and spfas, made for coolness and comfort, are stained the predominant shade of the room, says American Queen. Pale golden-yellow willow furniture is ex- cellent in room which has the walls covered with straw-colored grass cloth. while the hangings and cushion covers are of green India cotton. An other effective room has the wall paper of trellised wistaria. In this the willow furniture is stained deli SCate heliotrope Willow stained dull stone gray, gray-green or soft golden brown is effective, especially when good contrasting colors are used. A soft golden brown is especially good with a white chintz or cretonne, on which conventional pattern, not too large. is stamped in red and green. Not only straw, but the smooth, dull fnished wood tables and chairs, now seen in excellent patterns, are like wise faintly toned a dull gray or brown. No glaring shades of stain ing are used for wood. White enamel Is always excellent and dainty for bed- rooms and is unusually popular. Old pieces of mahogany, often picked up for a song, or new and inexpensive furniture, made in simple designs, in soft, dark-colored oak or ash, are all good taste,
 However, should it be decided to have each bedroom of a special color, the walls, furniture and enameled bed should all De of the chosen color For example, a pale-green room has nar- row-striped paper of two shades of green, while the wood of the chif- fonier. chairs and chest of drawers and the enameled iron bed are all enaneled the same shade of pale green. With this, sheer white muslin is used both for curtains, deep frilled and draped, and for the bedspread, the deep frill of which is headed with heavy lace insertion and lined throughout with pale-green linen. This covers the entire bed, pillows and all- and gives g delightfully."- airy and delicate finish.
 The same effect of one color, if de- sired, can be given without much ex- pense. Old furniture can be trans formed by first washing it well with ammonia, after which it should be painted with three coats of white zinc paint. If the zinc paint is too expen- siye, plain white lead can be used, tinted the desired shade. Care, how ever, should always be taken not to put on one coat of paint until the other is thoroughly dry. After this, any rough place in the paint should be smoothed with sandpaper; then give one or more coats of white or colored enamel paint, which can be bought prepared and ready for inn mediate use. The walls, if no good paper can be had, should be calcimined exactly the same delicate shade as the furniture. Should the room be small the effect is far better if the walls and ceilings are calcimined alike.

Good for Sore Spots.

Your child has an unfortunate habit of grazing his limbs and the sore places do not heal quickly. When next he breaks his skin, let it be your task to break an egg. Within the empty shell
 you find lining of membrane. With
 a little care you will be able to remove this, and lay it, wet surface downward, upon the sore place. Cover with linen and put on bandage. The sore spot will heal quickly Chicago Daily News.

Water to Indnoa slaen.

In certain parts Of the Himalaya noun eains the native women have singular way of putting their children to sleep in the middle of the day. The child is put near stream of water, and by means of palm leaf or a tin scoop the water is dehected so as to run over the back of the chi1d's head. The water pouring on the chiId's head apparently sends 1t to sleep and keeps 1t so, while the mother proceeds with her work in the 1elds. No one seems ever to fear that the baby
 may be drowned.
