Saving Enaland.

Prof. w. B. Hodgkinson suggests a
means of preventing the eating away
Of OUT coast, especially on the east
ern side, by the sea. Prof Hodgkin-
son would build structures Of sheet
iron, length about 6 feet, height 4
feet inches and breadth about 4
feet or a little less. Strength of
sheet iron two millimetres; iron to
be hot pitched when new. A series
of these structures to be moored by
means of q wire or chain cable in a
position at low water, SO that they
form a slight arc with the concave
side to the set of tide and current;
when one set has become logged with
sand and gravel another series could
be placed in front of the gaps in the
first series. The distances apart
would be about the width of the
structure itself. Made Of common
rolled iron they would be very cheap.
Construction would be mere trifle,
the main cost being really in the
pinning down of the holding cable.
Iron does not rust very rapidly in
sea water after the first few weeks.
If made of metal 2-3 millimetre thick
they would last for years, even ex-
posed to wind and water. When COM
pletely covered with, sand and water
they would last an indefinite time

DOCTOR NED

Ned's uncle was a young physician
and Ned admired him beyond meas
ure. Hadn't he cured people whom
1t was thought would die. That was
worth being proud of.
Once when Ned was sick his uncle
had ordered for him very hot bath.
He fell in love with 1t at once, and
afterward wanted to take one on the
least pretext.
Ned often stayed in the office while
his uncle was away, and he was there
when a little girl called.
my mother said he'd cure my head
ACHE" the child told him, so I've
come"
20 he can cure anybody" Ned de.
clared. and he invited the girl to wait.
She wore a pretty dress, but it
looked soiled and limpsy. Ned won
dered II it would wash.
Talk was not brisk, and after pause
Ned asked:
did you ever take an awful hot
bath?"
Il guess not" the girl answered.
II did," Ned went on-"once when
was sick, and 1t cured me. Just
love 'em now! make 'em real soap.

MoBBED BY BEES.

Bees abound In certain. parts Of
Abyssinia, and, as the land Is almost
waterless in the dry season, the In
sects suffer much from thirst. In The
Source Of the Blue Nile" is an interest
ing account of the manner In which.
on his journey, the author was mobbed
by bees, which were after his drinking
water.
Every drinking vessel was crowded
with them. Our boys drank from cal
abashes, and when they were put upon
the ground, bees clustered on the edges
and crawled toward the liquor. I'M
patient successors thronged upon the
first corners and pushed them into the
water, so that In few minutes the sur
face was mass of struggle for-lif-
ers." In spite of the heat we had to
keep moving; for when we settled, SO
did the bees-all over us.
We halted for luncheon. in small
rayine. and the bees did not find us
till we had nearly finished the meal
We smoked them with cigarettes. ci-
gars, and bonfire, to no purpose
Then We shifted our quarters. but they
followed. All of us were stung, and
we were not quit of them till we
mounted our camels and Outdistauced
the swarm.
They get their honey from the flow
ers of the mimosa-tree. We camped
that night among the mimosas think
ing that we had been delivered from
the plague Of insects, but we were mis-
taken. A host Of the honey-seekers
thronged and crawled on ones candle
ones book, ones face and ones hands,
adding insult to injury by stinglng us.
1t was more than twenty-four hours
before we were free from them.

AN INDIAN HUT.

4 Boys, do you know how the In
,dians built their huts? They selected
trees Astounding in sap-4+usually the
linn. The trees, being cut, down,
were stripped of their bark from top
to butt by the use OF the tomahawk
and its handle. The bark for hut
building was cut into six or eight
foot lengths and pieces dried and fiat
tened by laying heavy stones upon
them.
Now, to build the frame of the hut,
poles were driven into the ground six
or eight feet apart, according to the
length OF the bark pieces, and these
poles were strengthened by cross
beams This framework was then COW
cred inside and outside with the
pieces of bark bound together with
leatherwood bark or hickory withes.
The roof ran upon ridge, and was
covered in the same manner as the
frame. A hole was left in the roof
for the smoke to escape, and one on
the side of the frame for the door.
