olasgow's Isle Of Drunkards.

From the St James Gazette.
The Glasgow corporation is considering a
scheme under which Glassow's chronic In
ebriates shall be banished to the IsIet Of
shuna. one of the Hebrides group This
islet is leased to a farmer and has been
practically forgotten by the corporation OF
Glasgow, who have owned 1t for a century.
1t is sandwiched between the coast OF Ar
gyllshire and the Island OF Lung. and is
only three miles In length and about half
that extent In breadth. The climate is de-
scribed in the corporation reports as SINH
lar to that Of Jersey, and those who are
urging that the islet should be used as an
inebrfates' settlement point out that the
islanders would be practically self
supporting.

A practical vessel, capable of forg.
ing through the water a distance Of
five or six yards after each winding.
can be made of a cigar box, the rib of
an old umbrella, a rubber band, a
candle and little cord. After these
articles have been used in the con.
struction of the boat itself, many add.
tons, such as deck.houses and don.
key engines, can be affixed by a lad
who is handy with his penknife.
The first thing to be done is to Sc
cure a good, strong cigar box and to
rip away its lid. Cut two pieces Of
pasteboard, each the width of the box
by one-third of its length, and tack
these across the front and back of the
opening. This makes a fore and after
deck. With Ratchet chop from an
umbrella rib two masts a foot long.

one through the after deck, and pound.

cigar box. Take what remains of the
umbrella rib, say three inches; lay
half OF 1t along the middle of the fore
deck, allowing the other half to pro-
ject; secure it to the pasteboard with
sealing wax, and the bowsprit is in
position.
Now the cigar box commences to

cut from the cover two strips OF wood

so that five inches stick out at each

sition of the strips to the box Is the
position OF shafts to a wagon, except
that they are behind instead OF in

THE BOTTLE CANNON.

Do you know that from two bottles
you can make cannon which win
shoot projectile to quite respectable
distance without powder OF any kind?
Your ammunition in this case Is
water. Think of that! When one
thinks OF firing a cannon, one usually
thinks, too, of fire and smoke as neces-
sary to the discharge; and you use
fire in this instance-a fire of such
size that one can hardly realize it
oceans and oceans of liquid fre-for
you use the sun.
Get two plains white bottles. one a
short, fiat flask and the other taller
and heavier; for instance, an old GIN
ger ale bottle. Fill the small flask
with water and insert In its neck
cork a little large for 1t. so that 1t al
most refuses to go in. Hammer this
cork in tightly, and be very sure that
II is firmly and securely in place.
Fill one-third of the larger bottle
with water and cork it with a cork
that fits well, but not too tightly.
Drive a forked stick into the ground
so that the fork is about three inches
from the earth, and prop up the
tall bottle on this rest. 80 that II
points at an angle of about forty de-
| grees.
Now drive two more forked sticks

tom of the bottle, one on each side of
it. These are to hold your flask,
which must be laid across them so
that one edge is higher than the other
and its upper side turned directly to.

You will notice that the suns rays,

The suns rays shining upon the

TALK ON ADVERTISING


Some thoughtful man might say that
II what you manufacture has merit.
once you get trade established peo-
pie will continue to purchase, even II
the advertising is stopped, but to act
on that conclusion would be q fatal
mistake, for there are always bright
men on the lookout to steal your ap-
pies, and If you give them the chance
they will come in and take the fruit,
sure. Right here let us drive q nail,
not single nail but forty penny
spike. Your article must have merit,
far and away beyond the ordinary un-
advertised thing. II should be the
very best that human intelligence and
ingenuity can produce. Then you have
foundation to build upon that will
not slip out from under when the
building grows heavy. There are per-
sons ignorant enough to believe that
poor article can be advertised into
a success. 1t cannot and any one who
tries the experiment will pay heavily
for his experience. Critically examine
any well known and advertised article
that has been years on the market and

The sunshine that makes business
plant grow is advertising.
Growing business nowadays Is
something like growing an apple.tree.
You may select good seed, plant it in
good soil, water and work with 1t, but
the tree will not produce fruit until
another and most powerful, energiz.
ing and life-givbng element is brought
to bear. You must have sunshine and
lots of it. Can you expect to ripen
apples in the dark? Can you expect
to grow a profitable business plant

merit.
In ancient days newspaper publish
ers considered an advertisement an
evil but a necessary evil, and that it
should be hidden away as carefully
as possible, SO that no one would dis
cover that the paper was trying TO
make little money by inserting pub
lie announcements. A paper run that
way today would fail.
Tho most successful opponents OF
the new plan of doing business with
ink and paper are using every posi-
BILE means to make the announcements
attractive and sought after by the
readers.
1t is safe to say that thousands OF
women read the newspapor-not the

Exactly as the moon craters look

SO now some OF the astronomers
are interested in the attempts to
prove that the moons curious surface
Is not at all volcanic. and that the
"craters' are nothing more or less
than coral reefs and the remains OF
other coral.like structures which have
been left high and dry by the evsp-
