"The Persians say that many years ago a
sea rolled its waves over the whole of the de-
preston where / am now travelling, and that
it was navigated by ships which used to sail
from Seminar to Kashan
MY guide told me the following legend.
"'One day, many years ago, long before
the time of the Prophet, holy man arrived
at Kashan, took boat and ordered the man
to sail him across to some point or other. The
boatman, being of a suspicious turn of mind,
insisted on payment of the fare before land
ing This condition was accepted, but the
amount offered was held insufficient, and a
pour boife was demanded in addition. After
a dispute, the point was yielded, and the old
man said nothing more until he reached the
shore, when, taking up handful of earth
from the ground, he threw it into the sea,
uttering the words, 'Avaricious boatmen shall
here ply their trade no more The sea
instantly disappeared, and in it's place came
the desert, as it now stands; while the fish
became turned into stones the boatman who
tried to swindle was struck with blindness
and the holy man went on his way rejoicing
II suggested to my guide that this was
rather severe punishment for 30 small
fault, and that an earthquake or storm.

bottom of the sea, might have been sufficient
to meet all the requirements of the case
He said he didn't know about that. Any

BRITISH RANGE FINDER.
Demonstrations Have Proved its Ef
fectiveness in War.

The British Naval Department has
adopted new type of range finder
which is stated to be OF great value,
says the Scientific American. 1t Is
the invention OF Lisutnant Arthur
Vyvyan, the details of the mechanism
having been carried out by Mr.. hewitt,
h. N, an electrical engineer. The
utility of this instrument is for trans
mitting the range observations from
the fighting control top to all the va
rious gun positions on board the YES
sci simultaneously and automatically.
There are a series OF electra motors,
one stationed In the fighting control
top, and one at each gun position
These motors all run at UNIFORM
speed, and when there is any move
ment in the one at the fighting top,
the others are similarly affected au-
tomaticaily. For instance, when the
officer in the fighting top describes
vessel or object to be brought under
fire. he estimates the range and in
structs the officer in charge OF the
motor appliance A trial shot is then
fred some distance short of the est-
mated distance. say 400 yards. The
instrument Is set running for this dis
tance, and by means of an indicator
and pointer the range Is transmitted
Immediately to the various gun posi-
tions, the instruments at which record
simultaneously upon their indicators.
Should the range prove toe short, an
other shot Is fired, the distance being
increased, say. one-half the underes-
innate, viz, 200 yards. The result OF
this second shot will bring the instru-
ment's pointer to about the correct
range. II not, then another shot is
fred, the range being again propor-
tionately increased. These trial shots
only occupy few minutes. and di-
rectly the correct range has been OBJ
tanned by the recording officer In the
fighting top all the various gun posi-
tions have il we'll, and firing can ne
continued without any delays. The
instrument provides automatically for
| the detection OF range and the speed
| of the ship. The transmitter has prov
ed completely satisfactory under test
the correct range being invariably
obtained by the second trial shot
1t has been perfected during the past
year, and is now in operation at the
sunnery school at Whale Island ant
on board war vessel. and its utili-
zation is to be extended throughout
the service.

WOMEN AT FORTY
IMPORTANCE OF PRESERVING
THE HEALTH AT THAT TIME.
Proof OF One Case In Which Weak,
Nervous and Discouraged Woman
Was Marvelousiy Helped by the
Tonic Treatment.

Women approach their fortieth year
with worry and uncertainty, for the
manner in which they pass that crisis de-
termines the health of their after.life.
During this most important time in the
life of woman, her whole aim should be
to build up and strengthen her system
to meet the unusual demands upon It,.
Devotion to family should not lead to
neglect of self but hard work and house
hold cares and worries should be avoided
as far as possible. Whether she is able
to do this or not, no woman should fail
to take the tonic treatment if she is
entering this critical period in weak
rundown and nervous condition.
Mrs. Martha Dennis, of S23 West
Cedar street, Kalamazoo, Mich, who
owes her health to this treatment, SAYS:
II suffered for year with weakness,
