christmas books TOR Children" is the
title of a pamphlet being distributed from
the children's department of the Omaha
Public library, This list is intended as u
help to people In their selection and con-
tains picture books and books for little
children, myths and fairy tales, poetry for
children, Bible stories and stories Of the
saints, books suitable for boys, books for
girls and books suitable for both boys and
girls.
The pamphlet points out that books
which children own are read again and
again, therefore the greatest care should
be taken in their selection. The first cIas>
sizes are the fables and Mother Goose. for
they give children who have not yet formed
the habit of concentration a whole story
in a few words. Then come the fairy tales,
myths and iegends-the great dramatic
and ethical stories which we inherit from
our primitive ancestors. After those the
boys like adventure and the grls stories
Of home life and OF romance. There are
many such books which are of value Some
OF them are by great authors, as Charles
Lamb and Kingsley, as well as others b.
such writers as Mrs Ewing and Howard
Pyle, whose reputation rests chiefly upon
their stories for children However Il may
be, only genius can write q fine book foT
children, and 1t is we'll to avoid the nos:
recent publications, for many of them are
very poor.
Next in Importance to the choice OF the
books is the choice OF the edition The
print must be clear and the binding al
tractive and durable, The pictures should
be especially considered. Picture book
for the little children should be refined IT
thought and good in color ara Drawing
and the illustrations for the older INF
dren should be not only artistic, but ir
the spirit OF the story, Many of the edi-
lions in the list are inexpensive, but a
few fine ones are given, for every chnd
should own one or two beautiful books.

Ice by Trainloads.

Supt W. r. Smith gave The Bee some
interesting statistics regarding the ice
crop taken from the Little Bitter Root
lakes the past winter. Owing to tech
nical objection, the state board OF health
declined to permit the use of the Bitter
Root ice in drinking water, SO 30 cars of
ice were brought into his division from
Loon lake, Wash, and kept separately
for icing the water coolers along the line
Mr.. Smith believes the Bitter Root ice is
all right too, but the samples of water
sent in to the headquarters for analysis
last fall, came into the chemists hands
all right, but ms cad of analysing the
water for bacteria and substances deliter-
ious to human health, he made his test
for its effect upon locomotive boilers and
pronounced it A No. /.
With big crews of men working at the
lakes and store houses, in 20 days the
railroad company loaded, hauled and
stored 1SG cars of ice, or total OF "a 93t
tons, which was distributed between
Havre and Seattle, for general CONNER
cial use. An average of SO ears per day
was handled at the lakes during the sea

LIFE SAVING DEVICES.
Advances Made In Apparatus For
Shooting Life Lines.


Consul John l.. Gri.lths of Liverpool
reports that :he advisory subconlmit-
tee appointed by the British go;ern-
ment to formulate report upon the
question of British ships compulsorily
carrying life line throwing apparatus
conducted some most important expert
ments in Liverpool recently. the re-
suits of which are briefly described.
The apparatus submitted comprised
kites. buoys and different styles of
guns and rockets. The first tests were
those of Vests drift buoys. which were
followed by the much improved Re
gurk box kite. 1t was the opinion of
those who witnessed the experiments
that the kite IS Il successful invention
and will be very serviceuble when the
wind Is blowing on II Ice shore. One
of the most interesting Of the tests was
made with balloon constructed of
gold beater's skin in two weights. 1t
carried line for 1000 yards. The
principal tests. however, We're made
with rockets. cannon and shoulder
guns. which have been carried to Il
uISu Stute vi peTleCtlOu. NJ ucu interest
was shown in the results Of these tests,
both by the committee and the nauti-
cal experts.
The cannon threw a line a distance
of $40 fathoms, which indicates the
standard Of efficiency to which it has
been brought. a projectie is inserted
in the cannon. and the cannon Is fired
by means of Il friction tube which pro
rels the projectile Il certain distance.
and from that point Il rocket is dis
charged which carries the line to its
destination. The gun is portable and
easily handled. Another interesting
feature is that during the daytime the
smoke indicates the direction in which
the line is carried. while at night the
fire Of the rocket denotes the direction
For shore use this gun can be placed
on small handbarrow, and. as there
are no elaborate accessories. it can be
readily worked by any person Of ordi-
nary intelligence. This gun is claimed
to be the most satisfactory apparatus
for heavy work. as. for example. from

Mans Electrical Resistance.

Experiments have shown that the hui
man body between the feet and the
hands has an average electrical resist
ance of about 5000 ohms when the
hands and the shoe soles are wet and
from 10000 to 10000 ohms when hands
and feet are practically dry. With the
last resistance a one two-hundredth
ampere current will pass through the
body If the hand completes 100 volt
circuit through the earth. In the com
r.only used alternating current Of 100
volts and 50 cycles per second there
may lie difficulty in letting go of the
wire. and such a circuit of 500 volts
is very Dangerous. especially if travers-
ing vital organs.
