Plucky Puma Cub,

Kissing like sullen geyser, the
great puma mother croucned with
flaming eyes. Ridge OF her tawny
back brushed up in rage, tai a-switch,
steel sinews rigid beneath soft skin,
she glared at her four cubs in the
cage corner. A fluffy ball of spotted
fur sprawled on unsteady legs across
toward her. Out shot mighty fore
paw; the baby was hurled suddenly
back among his covering brother and
sisters.

keeper; "has she been long like
that?"

his head in anxiety. Il don't like it.

The unnatural mother commenced
pacing her prison, sparring viciously
at her offspring in passing. Three
huddled together in a pitirul heap, but
one stood up and defied her. A jungle
terror in miniature, his tiny rage was
manifest. Tensely alert before his
trembling mates, he shifted warlly to
meet each blow, lodging, splitting,
striking out an awkward paw at the
great thrusts.
They don't turn on their cubs Of
ten. Only knew it once before. You
notice, mein Herr, her claws are not
out when she strikes. That may come
then we will lose some promising
babies here" The young German

A BAN ON FLIRTING.
South Dakota Passed An Ordinance
Making IL a Misdemeanor.

Making IL MiSuefnehnOr.
The town council of a town out ir
South Dakota has just passed an or
dinance that makes flirting in public
places a misdemeanor and punish.
able by fine. The same ordinance
also prohibits young people from
lettering on the steps of churches Oh
other public buildings, or in the
doorway of any store for the pur.
pose of taking and eating candy and
peanuts"
The misdemeanors, or crimes,
named in this law seem to need
10, of overhauling in the way OF
official definitions before any salts
factory enforcement will be possible
says a writer in the Providence Jour
nal. Flirting is broad term, and
no one has ever yet succeeded In
defining 1t exactly. To the fancy oil
the hoi polloi II consists principally
or waving handkerchief or making
google eyes at members of the oppo-
site sex.
In higher circles, however, flirta-
ton is generally regarded as a very
subtle procedure, a matter to be un-
dertaken In some quiet corner like
a conservatory, Just as they do II In
the lovely novels by Mr.. r. w. Cham
bers. If carried on in the street or
any other public place the process
would be so extremely subtle that
no one but a member of the elect,
with a subtle understanding of sIch
things, could see through 1t. The
ordinary policeman might see
high-bred Irritation going on full tilt
not more than four feet from his
nose, and he would never know ,hat
the law was being fagrantly viola Led.
According to the highest English
authority u flirt is "a ilighty female.
pert. giddy girl. coquette." And
Irritation Is the desire of attracting
the notice and admiration of men,"
Our own highly esteemed Mr.. Web
ster agrees with this definition by de-
claring u firt ~ be "a young girl
who acts with fdiness. or plays at
courtship."
Thus we learn on the best of au-
thority that Irritation is altogether q
matter OF feminine practice. Accord
ing to the leading Dictionaries men
never fiirt. and the natural presum-
ption it that they are incapable of 1t.
So 1t would appear that men are ex-
empt from the operation of this new
South Dakota ordinance, and the po-
licemen of that town will do well to
bear the fact in mind. In other re-
spects they seem to be up against .
perplexing problem. If a hirt Ia

courtship or really means business.

certainty that they are either frivO-
lous or serious?

The Effect OF Moisture Upon Wood
Is Easily Perceptibie..

The effect of water in softcning or
ganic tissue as in wetting a piece OF
paper or a sponge, Is well known, and
so Is the stiffening effect of drying.
The same law applies to wood. by
different methods of seasoning tSo
pieces of the same stick may be given
very different degrees of strength.
Wood in its green state contains
moisture in the pores OF the cells,
like honey in a comb, and also in the
substance of the cell walls. As seas
oning begins the moisture in the pores
rs first evaporated. This lessons the
weight of the wood, but does not af-
feet its strength.
1t is not until the moisture in the
substance of the cell walls is drawn
upon that the strength OF the wood
begins TO increase. scientifically, this
po.nt is known as the "fber-satura-
ton point" From this condition to
that of absolute dryness the gain in
the strength of wood is somewhat re-
markable.
IL ttiN Nttot vi Sll uNt lllt OIL
is multiplied four times; indeed,
spruce, in small sizes, thoroughly
dried in an oven, is as strong weight
for weight, as steel. Even after the
reabsorption of DISTURB, when the
wood is again exposed to the air the
strength Of the sticks is stu from %
to $50 per cent greater than when it
is green.
When, in drying, the nber-satura-
tion point Is passed, the strength of
wood increases as drying progresses,
in accordance with a definite law, and
this law can be used to calculate from
the strength of stick at one degree
Of moisture what its strength win be
at any other degree.
Manufacturers, engineers and build
ers need to know not only the strength
but the weakness of the materials
they use, and for this reason they are
quite as much interested in knowing
how timbers are affected by moisture
as they are in knowing how they are
weakened by knots, checks, cross
grain and other defects.
1t is clear that where timbers are
certain to be weakened Oy excessive
moisture they will have to be used in
larger sizes for safety.
So far, engineers of timber tests,
while showing that small pieces gain
ed greatly in strength, do not advise
counting on the same results in the
seasoning of large timbers, owing to
the fact that the large timbers usually
found in the market have defects
which are sure to counterbalance the
gain from seasoning.-"TheS Strength

TWO English scientists discovered
about ten years ago, that fused silica
might be treated in the same way
as glass, but 1t was left for Germany
to develop its commercial possibili-
ties. An English firm has now tax
en- up the original process and Is
enabled to place this material on
the market at reasonable rates. To
chemists the discovery is of great
service, for the vessels made of fus-
ed silica will not crack even when
heated white hot and plunged into
water. They are also impregnable
to acids, and 1t is even possible to
use them for melting platinum.

Poetry Worth Reading.

The Diver.
Stout panoplied in metal guise,
Armored and helmed so knightly-
wise
Whittier goest thou, Diver?
Into the gloom of living grave
Full forty fathom meath the wave
God so with thee now, Diver!
Rattle of chains over the side
Into the waiting, wicked tide,
Into the deep, the Diver!
Pay out the line-send air, more
air
God knows he needs 1t, buried there.
Safe may He keep the Diver!
Up came the Diver, the man-fsh.
What sawest thou, Diver, there2
A drownded ship | saw, and through
Her wounded sides ghostly crew
or sad eyed sailormen stare
Thank God for the sound of voices,
But most of all for the air!
I've heard full many q silence,

OF lovliness that wavered through

The iris glamor over far off
streams,
The glory beckoning to uplifting
heights,
Thine is the strength of granite hills

Thine is the tenderness of hidden
tears;
Thine youth immortal and rich gar
nered years,
The mystic yelling and the JOY un-
yelled.
Thou art the summers sweetest lin
gering song.
The crystal starriness of wintry
nights;
Thou art the strange fire of auro-
raj lights,
And the clear hearth flame, warm
and close and strong.
Smite thou my soul and send its high
notes ringing,
Dwell in my heart and tune each
pulse to singing!
