Another pioneer Of the steel trade,
Robert f. Mushet, Scotsman, who hit
upon a device for removing a difficulty
that battied Kelly and Bessemer, Jared
even worse than Kelly, for he lost his
patent by failing to pay the necessary
fees and in his later years was de-
pendent upon pension of 81 800 which
he received annually from Bessemer
The difficulty which Munset removed
was this:
"The air blast clears the molten
metal of carbon and of all impurities,
including sulphur and phosphorus. But
q certain quantity Of carbon is neces-
sary to harden the metal into the re-
CURED quality Of steel. Instead of
endeavoring to stop the process at
exactly the right moment, Mushet
asked, why not first burn out all the
carbon and then pour back the exact
quantity that you need? This was a
simple device, but no one had thought
Of 1t before"

Kelly and Bessemer into his hands, de-
veloped it into one of the wonders Of
the world and made the Carnegie mil

During the wash | can rub myself
well all over my skin. Having used
the warm water and soap and warm
water again, | can dip my hands in
cold water and then give my skin IA
capital friction with the palms of my

ercise for the arms and shoulders and,

1t will clean me, will help to harden
and inTigorate me and will make my
hands and my whole body glow de-
lightfully. It will need scarcely any
extra time.
When I go out into the street, ana
indeed whenever l so out I can take
two extra deep and full breaths Of
fresh air in through the nostrils. And
I can repeat this wonderfully healthy
practice whenever l wait at Il crossing.
whenever I wait at all, and just before
l go into any building from the street,
and also before any important work
or interview, and, of course. the first
thing in the morning and the last thing

ment Of extra time demanded, but
there is SO much effective but easy

ANIMAL LEGENDS.
The Buzz of the Mosquito and the
Swallows Forled Tail.

Swallows Forked Tail.
In Palestine, where several religions
exist side by side, legends have crossed
and intermngled III such a way as to
make distinct folklore. A collection
of stories from "Folklore In the Holy
Land,' by the Rev. j. q. Hanauer,
contains many Bible legends In new
forms and with humorous additions.
One explains how the mosquito came
to buzz and why the swallows tail Is

missed the reward which the evil one
had promised him-namely, the sweet.
est food in the world. An angel was
appointed to assign to every creature
his food and dwelling place. The SER
pent asked for human flesh. But Adam
protested and pointed out shrewdly
that as nobody had ever tasted human
flesh it was impossible to maintain
that it was the most luscious of food.
Thus he gained a years respite for the
race.
Meanwhile the mosquito was sent
round the world with instructions to
taste and report upon the blood Of ev-
cry living creature. At the end of
twelve months it was to report In open
court the result Of It's researches
Now, Adam had Il friend in that sa-
cred bird the swallow, which annually
makes a pilgrimage to Mecca and all
holy places. This bird Swallowed the
mosquito all the twelve months until
the day of the decision. Then as the
insect was on its way to the court the
swallow met it openly and asked what
flesh and blood it had found sweetest
"Man's," replied the mosquito. ~,
"WhatT' asked the swallow. "Please
say it again. for am rather deaf"
On this the mosquito opened its
mouth wide to shout. and the swallow
darted in its bill and plucked out the
insects tongue.
They then proceeded to the court
where all living creatures were assem-
bled TO hear the decision. On being
asked the outcome Of its investigation
the mosquito. which could now only
buzz. was unable to make itself under

be its spokesman. declared that the
insect had said that it had found the
blood of the frog the NEST delicious.
Sentence was therefore given that
frogs, not men, should be the serpent'6

In its rage and disappointment the
serpent darted forward to destroy the
swallow. But the bird was too quick

IDAHO NATIONAL
FORESTS REDIsTRICTED

Washington, June 9.-The first
step toward carrying out a compre-
hensive plan OF redistricting the ma
tional forests in western states has
jast been made by the president In
signing executive orders effective
July /. establishing the Cache and
Poatello National forests In north
ern Utah and southern Idaho. The
object of this plan is to equalize
areas OF administrative units and re-
arrange their boundaries in such a
manner as TO promote the most ef-
ficient administration. No actual
addition to the National forest area
is in volved in the plan.
The Cache forest will consist of the
Logan and Idaho division of the Bear
River National forest, and will be
administered by Supervisor Wood
rum, with headquarters at Logan
Utah. The Pocatello National forest
will consist of the present pocatello
and Port Neuf National forests, to-
gether with the Malad Division Of
the Bear River forest. These areas
will be administered by Supervisor
Wrensted, with headquarters at Po-
catello. Idaho.
Under the general plan of redis-
tricting Is new administrative units
will be established from the existing
National forest area. The attempt
is being made by the Forest service
to reduce the area of the admins
trative units to an average of ap-
proximately 100000 acres. This
will not be possible in all cases, as
is shown by the fact that under the
plan of redistricting there will be
l44 supervisors who will administer
more than 65,OOO.OOO acres of Ma
tional forest area.
