HOW TO OUTFIT FOR CAMP
Various Articles Which Will Be
Found Convenient and Use
full in Outing.

Before starting on the trip, make
bags for everything. Make them with
draw strings and of different material
to suit the various articles, advises
Arnold Bartlett Parker in Recreation.
Oil silk for your toothbrush, canton
flannel for your fish reels and bags OF
different colored cloth for the other OBJ
jects. Make each bag distinctive, so that
you can readily identify its contents.
In packing my duffle into camp use a
pair of war bags made by a western
concern. They can be used as valises on
board train or ship, can be strapped to
mules back, or made into a knapsack.
They are thoroughly waterproof and
hold nearly as much as a steamer trunk.
Another important item in my outfit is
light rubber pouch, which serves
many purposes and occupies small space
in the bag. Bags should be obtained for
the transportation Of provisions and a
careful review of any of the catalogues
issued by the large Quitting people will
reveal varied assortment from which
TO select.
Every member of camping party
should be supplied with q good knife, a
pocket compass, a folding drinking cup,
and waterproof matchbox. Other inn
portant adjuncts of the sportsman's kit
are wire nails, canvas water pals, an
ak and several lanterns, preferably those
made of aluminium folding in a small
space.

NEW YoRK's ODD CORNERS
Quaint Survivals of Other Days That
Are But Seldom Noticed by
People Now.

Travellers like to visit the oddly
named little streets of old London Town
that they may talk of them to their in
Inmates, but few of those who pry into
the corners of foreign cities know Of
the quaint survivals of other days in
the very heart Of the new world metrop-
oils, of Flat and Barrack Hill, Tin Pot
Alley, Edgar Street and Petticoat Lane
in the midst of the financial district of
New York, writes Charles Hemstreet,
in Four-Track News.
Standing at 81 Broadway one looks
down a steep and narrow street that was
the joy of the small boys of century
and half ago, for then this spot was
known as Flat and Barrick Hill, and
down the slope in winter time the lads
and lassies coasted, speeding on into
Garden street, as the rude road was
known after it crossed Broad street.
Now, under the more significant name of
Exchange place, this street wriggles
between great sky-scrapers, and from
Broadway one can see the edge of the
largest Office building in the world, the
Broad exchange, on the southeast corner
Of Broad street and Exchange place.

FINDS NEW USE FOR GLASS
Experiments Of French Inventor Re-
suit In the Discovery of
New Method.

A practical inventor and scientist,
M. Garchey, known all over France, has
made very interesting experiment in
Lyons. He has discovered an entirely
new method, says a recent report, Of
melting all kinds Of old glass and trans
forming 1t into material as hard and
serviceable as Belgian blocks. In
1898 he obtained permission from the
municipal authorities of Lyons to pave
a portion Of one of their main streets
with this new material and thus prove
to the world the value Of his discov-
cry. The street selected was princi-
pal thoroughfare, which was under con-
tinuous and heavy traffic, and yet the
glass Is still as sound as when first
put down.
M. Garchey claims for "ceramo- crys-
tal," as he calls II, that 1t can be manu-
featured at a much more reasonable
figure than any other reliable building
material now on the market in Europe
or America, and that 1t is practically
indestructible. 1t Is also highly attrac.
tive and artistic in appearance, and
M. Garchey fully expects to see 1t tax.

now in use.

LUNAR SURFACE CHANGES
Signs Which Lead Scientist to Be-
Heve There Is Life on the
Moon.

Scientific research is all the time over
turning old and cherished ideas, and the
latest example of this is found in the
statement by an astronomer that the
moon is not the dead world we sup
posed it to be, says Cassell's Journal.
He finds there are distinct changes
visible on the lunar surface, due to vol
canic action, to frost, and to vegetation.
What is believed to be boar frost is
seen to cover portion of the surface of
the moon when the lunar day begins,
and thereafter to dwindle away just as
boar frost would do on our earth.
Dark patches which deepen in hue
are seen on many parts of the surface,
and are believed to be some form OF
vegetation.

SIGNALING UNDER WATER.
Invention of Immense Advantage
Both to Merchant Ships and
War Vessels

''The success of the submarine sig
mailing process is one of the greatest
triumphs of American inventive gen.
ius," said Mr.. John Philip Reynolds, of
Boston, reports the Washington Post.
by this invention messages are sent
for long distances under water as cas-
lily as telegraphic dispatches on land.
The water is q much better medium
for the transmission Of sound than air
by virtue of it's greater density, and un-
der It sound travels four times as fast
as through the atmosphere. The advan-
tages. both to merchant ships and war
vessels, of submarine telegraphy are
tremendous. The merchantmen In a
heavy fog gets word from the lightship
that gives him his precise location and
keeps him from pounding to pieces on
the rocks. In time of war the submarine
craft can communicate by the Morse al
phabet with every friendly battleship,
and the vessels Of fleet can keep in
constant touch with each other.
"This system of signaling has been
taken up by Canada with more alacrity
than by any other government, and the
Dominion has appropriated a large sum
to its installation. 1t would seem that
its utilization by all the great naval
powers is a matter that cannot be long
delayed"

WAS ONLY FORCE OF HABIT
Fire Commissioner Was Accustomed
to Quenching Flames When
ever He Saw Them.

OF the ex-flre commissioner, Thomas
Sturgis, Of New York. story has been
recently circulating, relates the Trib-
une.
This story, which is not sworn to,
is to the effect that Mr.. Sturgis, a few
days after his appointment, boarded a
train and sat down beside fat man
in the smoking car.
The fat man took cigar from his
pocket and put 1t in his mouth. Then
he struck match, but before he could
make use Of 1t Mr. Sturgis blew 1t out.
The fat man glared at the commits
sioner. But he said nothing, for he
thought that perhaps the match had
been blown out by accident He lighted
another match, regarding his compan-
ion closely as he did so. This time
there could be no mistake. Mr.. Stur-
gis leaned over, distended his cheeks,
and-puff!-the match was out
"By jingo!" said the fat man. This
is the second time you have deliberate
ly put out my match"
Pardon me" said Mr.. Sturgis. ut
is force of habit. l am the fire COM

Cistercian Trappists Live Long.

While newspapers are giving facts
about the long-lived and prescriptions
for long life, a scientific journal re.
ports that the ages of four of the Cis-
tercian Trappist monks at the Abbey
Of Sept-Fons (Allier), France, amount
to 1872 years, or an average life of SO
lears. The lengths of their religious
lives are respectively 81, IS, 48 and 81
years. The lengths Of their religious
abstinence and fasting tend, as doctors
say, to shorten life. The writer infers
from the above and other facts that
Cistercian Trappists live, on the whole,
to an advanced age. An international
commission Of doctors was recently
surprised at the serene joy and health
of the Trappists, Notwithstanding their
early rising, long studies, chants and
agricultural work. A great number of
maladies are unknown at Sept-Fons.
The monks, It appears, are vegetarians,
and practice abstinence on Fridays

HE WOULD TAKE NO CHANCE
Determined That No Rabbit Was
Going to Give Him Bad Luck
If He Knew It.

At one of the hotels the other night u
travelling man well known for his con-
nection with the sale of divers wares to
the merchants of North Texas gave his
views on and experiences with the
superstitions of the colored race, relates
the Galveston Tribune.
1t appears that up in that neighbor-
hood east of Greenville he had occasion
to hire buggy to go across the country,
and with the buggy there was thrown in
by the livery stable negro, who, the
travelling man says, was about the color
of anthracite. The two Travelled across
the muddy roads for miles upon miles,
and all was going we'll when suddenly
the negro rose in the buggy.
look a-dah!" he shouted
The drummer looked barely In time
to see an ordinary cotton-tail rabbit
cross the road like a streak of gray. The
negro prepared to get out.
What are you doing?" demanded the
drummer, catching at the lines as they
fell. The negro got out. Then he care
fully turned every one of his ragged
pockets inside out, backed up to the
place which. the cotton tail had crossed
and walked across the imaginary line
backward. Then he climbed into the
buggy again.
'Dah," he said "Ain' gwine let no
rabbit Glib me no bad luck dis trip. No

TO MEASURE FERTILITY.
French Scientists Move to Place Ag-
riculture Among the Exact
Sciences.

To place agriculture among the exact
sciences is the hope of certain French
enthusiasts, and as a first step it is pro
posed to establish a system Of exact
measurements of the fertility of the soil
says a recent report. A pioneer in this
art of "euphorimetry, as it is called, has
been NJ Varembey. He has made many
experiments, and has recommended a
euphorimetric scale ranging from one
to ten degrees, each degreet represent
the fertility produced by 1000 Kilograms
of farm-yard manure on one hectare OF
land. He has shown that every degree
of fertility in the soil yields IS liters
of wheat per hectare. or 35 liters of rye,
or AZ liters of barley or SO liters of oats
The effects of other manures can be
determined according to this standard.
the present fertility of any soil can be
estimated from the last crop and the ex-
haustion experience has shown to be
caused by such crop, and the probable
yield of any one of the cereals can be
calculated from the present fertility.
While irregularities Of temperature and
moisture must affect crops, it is believed
that theoretical results for normal con-
ditions can be worked out with much
accuracy.

Hold-Up Man Finds That His In

Though she had to walk two or three
blocks alone after getting off the car
the young woman was not afraid.
But as she passed a dark alley man

Tribune.

Maui snnrna of Silk

A wearable silk fabric made from
gelatine solution is manufactured in
Glasgow with undoubted success. II
can be dyed any color and takes all
shades with brilliant luster that rivals
even that of natural silk. The fiber is
prepared by ejecting fine threads Of a
strong solution of gelatine from very
small orifices on an endless band con-
veying them to bobbins, on which they
are reeled. After leaving the small ORR
fees the gelatine solidifies in continu-
GUS fiber a thousandth of an inch in
diameter, possessing a luster even great
er than that of a natural silk. The
fiber in this state, however, is unsuitable
for use, as 1t is easily spoiled by water
In order to render 1t impervious it is
waterproofed by special process.-N

THE BRAVE WOODCHUCK.
Stood His Ground Against a Dog
and Put the Intruder
to Flight,

1t is unusual to see woodchuck drive
a dog; it is usually reversed, and the
chuck takes to his hole, to be dug out by
the dog, says the Bangor (Me.) News.
A Phillips canine followed his mis-
tress, who was on drive through the
back towns of Phillips the other day,
and after driving off all the hens from
the farms along the road, he came upon
a woodchuck near the road. He barked
with joy at the sight of that strange ami
NAL, and with one leap he landed in
front of the woodchuck.
Then he stopped-there was some
thing in the woodchucks eye that indi-
Gated that there might be serious
trouble The dog discovered 1t, and
backed away to safety, and, strange to
state, the woodchuck followed him; fol-
lowed him until the poetry was all out
of the experience and the fun was all
gone. Finally, the dog acknowledged
his defeat by dropping his tail and start
ing for Phillips at very fast pace.

THE "UNDER> MARRIAGE"
Pretty Ceremonial Which Precedes
the Public Performance Among
the Hollanders.

In Holland two weeks before a mar
rage takes place cards are sent out de-
claring that the banns have been pub
lished. This, says the New York Her.
aid, is called an "under-marriage." The
card also announces when the final mar
riage is to take place. The wedding it.
self is small affair, and the civil mar
riage is the only one recognized by law.
A church wedding is usually looked
upon as a concession to either fashion
or sentimentality, and is called "conse-
Grafton of the marriage" The couple
enter the church behind the family
members, bridesmaids and other at
tendants. They are shown to seats be-
fore the whole assembly, and the clergy
man comes in with two witnesses, long
after the others have been seated. He
first makes prayer, then delivers ser.
mon on a suitable text, which usually
brings the bride to tears. After that the
couple are married. Then hymn Is
sung and the blessing given. The whole
occupies about an hour and quarter.
Before leaving the church a huge Bible
is presented to the bridegroom. During
the two weeks of waiting between the
"under-marriage" and the real mar
riage all the wedding festivities take
place. The happy couple are literally
surfeited with dinners balls and theater
,-ffn 81 %
jokes are played on the pair. At the din
ner toasts innumerable are given, and
at each the whole company rises from
the table to sound and touch glasses
with the bride and groom, who never
rise. Among their friends the idea is
not to allow the couple night OF sleep,
if possible, before the wedding day. In
place of wedding cake wedding candies
are presented.
