CHEMISTRY AND ENGINEERING.
Two Courses VIII Be Taught at Camp
Namaschaug this Summer.

This season will witness a notable in.
| crease in the educational activity Of camp
| Nama,chaug, at Lake SpOiiod, as a
laboratory course in chemistry and field
work IN civil and railway engineering will
be added 10 the camps school work. As
| these two courses will not be restricted 10
members OF the camp an opportunity Of
acquiring some knowledge OF these sub.
Jects is offered 10 young men residing in
the neighborhood. The course in chem.
istry will be mainly laboratory one GOV.
ering high school work based ON the re-
quircments determined by the college

cd 10 afford boys who have not had
sufficient experimental work in the pre-
paratory school an opportunity 10 make

experiments describing the phenomena
actually observed and stating the conclu
sions drawn therefrom. This record will
be examined and certified to by the in
struetor. Should the student be preparing
TO enter particular college or university

Dear Miss Dunham:-We enclose a re-
ceipt for the money you have sent US as
proceeds OF Fair you and your friends
held Tor the benefit OF Sea Breeze We
cannot tell you how glad we are TO know
that you are ~ much interested in our
summer home. Ii is always pleasant to
| ind friends and especially pleasant TO
| find that the friends OF last year are
helping US again this summer. May i
tell you something of those whom we
have sent TO Sea Breeze as your guests
this week
Dora orc. is little girl, ten years old,
who has been very i'll during the winter.
She is suffering just now from st. Vitus'
Dance, as well as rheumatism. Dora went
to Sea Breeze last year and was greatly
benefited by her stay there. The mother
believes that it carried her through the
winter and that her little sisters lie was
also saved by the stay at the seashore.
Mary has gone with Dora this year, as
well as Daniel, little seyen-y ear.old boy
who is also delicate. We hope they viii
all gain new strength as they run about
on the sands and bathe in the ocean.
Josephine c. is a ten-yearold girl who
is very delicate. She has had malaria
through the spring and is very pale and
thin. Her mother is a laundress who
tries very haru 10 take care OF Josephine.
She is able to provide for her at home
but could not have sent her away.
Mrs. Il. and her three children, Teresa, |
Margaret and Joseph, are also at Sea
Breeze through your bounty. Teresa has
Just recovered from pneumonia, Margaret |
has chronic bronchitis, and the baby is
teething Mrs. f. herself is far from well |
and as her husband has had only irregu |
lar work through the winter, there has
been great struggle to make both ends
meet.
Mrs. McB. and her little daughter Mary
were in need of Sea Breeze. They both
have been treated at one of our Clinics
and needed only an outing to complete
their recovery from their illness. We
hope they will be well throughout the
warm summer before us as result of
their early outing.
Mrs. Mex. and her baby Bessie have
both been ill., Bessie is only q months
I'D and is still getting teeth, so it is i'm
)ortant that she be made well and strong
before the hottest days of the summer.
Trusting that these little children and
heir mothers will be greatly benefited by
heir stay at Sea Breeze and thanking you
or your continued interest in our work,
Very truly yours,
(Signed) Halle ID. Woods,
Asst. Supt. of Relief.

Three-year-old Allan had very
aristocratic grandma, who prided
herself on her own and her hus-
bands blue blooded ancestry. She
told him heroic deeds of them and
warned him from over playing with
boys of low degree.
One day Allan came screaming
upstairs to his mamma and grand,
ma, holding his hand up covered
with blood where had cut his lit
tie finger. They were both greatly
alarmed, as he was child who rare
ly cried or complained when hurt
Mamma washed the blood off and,
examining the cut, said:
"Why, dear, it's not SO very bad.
Docs it hurt you so much p
"I'm not cryin' cause it hurts"
he said, "but cause it's only red
blood, and grandma said had bluo."

Eleo,rIo Fish Of Tho Nile.


The electric fish of tho Nile, OF
which the Egyptians made pho
lures thousands of years ago and
which still inhabit the waters OF
that river, are provided with an
electrical organ that incloses tho
whole body. 1t is situated in the
skin and when viewed with a
microscope is seen to be composed
of about 100000 beautifully
formed little disks supcrposed
upon conneetcd rows Of minute
compartments in which arc tho ter
minals of nerves. Tho shock is
produced by an intense current
which trdverses the entire organ
from the head to the tail of the
fish, returning through, the sur
foundings. 1T stuns small fish In
the noighborhood. A naturalist
likens Its action to that of self

Tho olectromotivo force of the or
