in a matter so rational may be sur
prising, but the fact is neither officers
nor men take kindly to the use of
such artificial protection, though the
practice is more universal than II
was a few years ago. Many of the
gun crews in the navy suffer from
deafness of variable duration after
target practice, and in severe naval
action it is probable that the impact
of suddenly compressed air or re-
peated violent air vibrations conse-
quent upon big gun fire and the
bursting of the enemy's shells would
produce not only deafness (tempo-

some action may be taken by the

to the entire exclusion of others with

necessary nor desirable. Action is
needed only to the end that some
efficient protection be made obliga-
tory among those exposed to the con-
cussion of gun fire or she'll explosion,

general order to that effect. Wash

How many of our young people
have spent hours over those delicately
colored wonders, the soap bubbles.
Many of us still believe. as we be-
lieved when children, that no gem
surpasses soap bubble in beauty;
and one cannot help feeling really
sorry when each exquisite plaything
bursts.
Sir Isaac Newton. who sought out
the secret that a falling apple hint
ed, said of the soap bubble that a
that would last would confer a great
benefit upon mankind. You may
wonder at this saying, but the truth
of 1t will soon be apparent.
Perhaps some of you do not know
how to make good soap bubble mix
ture, so give you the directions for
preparing one.
Of best white CASTLE soap. cut into
thin shavings, and fill the bottle with
cold water which has been first boiled
and then left to cool. Shake well to-
gether, and allow the bottle to stand
until the upper part of the solution
is clear. Decant now of this clear
solution two parts, and add one part
of glycerin, and you have a soap bub-
BILE mixture very much like one sug-
gested by a professor of Harvard Col
lege.
Some of you may wonder why bub-
bles cannot be blown from water
alone. IL is because the particles do
not possess sufficient attraction for
one another to form a film. Mys-
teriously, the soap increases this at
traction, even If the quantity be as
small as Tooth part of the solution.
We add the glycerin to make the film
more gorgeous by bringing about a
greater play of colors. Bear in mind
that carefully prepared mixture
will save you much disappointment.
The solution now being at hand,
we use the ordinary clay tobacco pipe
in blowing. Always use a new one,
for one in which tobacco has been
smoked is poisoned. With little
practice. and a moderate amount of
patience, bubbles measuring eight or
ten inches in diameter may be pro-
duced. and even larger ones IL the
lungs be refilled. The pipe, of
course, should be held steadily, and
the breath forced into the bubbles
evenly.
In order to watch a bubble care
fully we may wish to support it in
some way. A common table goblet
will make a good stand if its edge is
first dipped into melted parafiin, or
we'll soaped, which prevents it from
cutting into the film.
All bubbles and drops are round.
All liquids, when free to act, tend to
take on the spherical form. So it is
with milk when it falls upon a but
tered plate. raindrop when it de-
scends, or the dew that glistens so
beautifully in the morning sun. In
each case the drop is composed of
tiny particles that are equally attract
ed by central particle, and as they
cling regularly around it give the
drop a round shape. Your school
books have told You that this attrac-
tion that causes all things to try to
come together is gravitation.
In the case of the soap bubbles the
case is reversed. The particles of
air within press with equal force out
ward upon the film in all directions,
producing the curved surface and
making hollow sphere. If the room

TRAMP AND THE RAILROAD.
Pennsylvania Lost S436,0O0 Last
Year by THETA Conference of
Powers

That the Pennsylvania Railroad
lost s436. 900 last year by thefts by
tramps is shown in figures just made
public to prove the seriousness of the
problem the railroads of the country
face in dealing with trespassers. This
sum was paid out in 1907 in claims
for losses traced to thefts.
According to these figures on the
tramp nuisance. 4156 arrests for tres
passing and illegal train riding were
made on the Pennsylvania right of
way and 466 men were arrested for
larceny. AT the same time S09 men
were killed or died from injuries re-
ceived while in the act of trespass-
ing
The railroads of the country are
about to take concerted action look
ing to an abatement of the tramp
nuisance and II is to be one of the
important matters to be taken up at
the next annual joint meeting of the
State Railroad Commissions. Ac-
cording to the railroad officials, local
authorities often refuse to make
arrests at all, whereas if the State
and county authorities would CO.
operate with the railroads tho rail-
road tramps would quickly decrease
in numbers.
The New York and Chicago Rail-
road Managers Association has taken
up the matter, and an attempt is to
be made to enlist the support of the
authorities in suppressing the evil
which the railroads contend is the
backbone of all vagrancy.-New
York Sun.

It's Stomach CutusyH

Some people arc thin and always re-
main thin, from temperamental rea-
sons. Probably in such cases nothing
can be done to change this personal
popularity.
But there are large number OF peo-
ple who get thin, or remain thin, who
naturally would be plump and fieshy
but for some digestive arrangement.
Thin people lack in adipose tissue.
Adipose tissue is chiefly composed of
fat.
Fat is derived from the oily constit-
uents of food.
The fat-making foods are called by
the Psychologist, hydrocar bons. This
class OF foods are not digested in tho
stomach at all. They are digested in
the duodenum, the division of the ALI
mentary canal just below the stomach.
The digestion of fat is mainly, IL not
wholly, the work of the pancreatic
Juice. This Juice is of alkaline reac-
ton, and is rendered inert by the addi.
tion of acid. A hyperacidity OF tho
digestive fluids Of the stomach passing
down into the duodenum, destroys
the pancreatic fluid for digestive pur-
poses. Therefore, the fats are not di-
gested or cmulsified, and the system Is
deprived Of it's due proportion of oily
constituents. Hence, the patient grows
thin.
The beginning of the trouble is a ca
tarrhal condition OF the stomach which
causes hyperacidity Of the gastric
juices. This hyperacidity is caused by
fermentation Of food in the stomach.
When the food is taken into the stom-
ach, IL the process of digestion does
not begin Immediately, acid fermenta-
ton will take place. This creates q
hyperacidity of the stomach Juices
which in their turn prevent tho PAN
creatic digestion of the oils, and the
cancellation results.
A dose of Peruna before each meal
hastens the stomach digestion. By
hurrying digestion, Peruns prevents
fermentation of the contents of tho
stomach, and the pancreatic Juice is thus
preserved in it's normal state. II then
only remains for the patient to eat q
sufficient amount Of fat-forming foods,
and the thinness disappears and plump
ness takes its place,
