bone will satisfy the appetite, but only
tender human fellowship will ease the
aching heart.
Many a human being has ended his
heartache with a bullet fired by his
own hand because he thought he could
not bear his suffering m longer.
But the heart warns at the mother
ing of the sheltering arms of childhood:
warns at the thought OF the friend that
failed, though little boys snubbed
or the earth came up and hit him in the
face. or the teacher made him stay
after school for a "trifing offense."
Nor does memory bring any bushes at
the recollection of a little pig who
ate and ate until his little "tummie"
could hold no more. And whit does not

our devoted mother who had counted

because, we remember the details so well
and know that mother knew and for
gave at the same time.
Dear mothers, How much they have
to bear from the innocent pranks of
their children. How they laughed at
them though put at great incon-
venience and oftentimes consequent
embarrassment through them, How
much we grown-up folks owe to the
mothers and fathers Thai sheltered and
bore patiently with us all those trying
days when we took particular delight
in getting the better of them, We
laugh now, but tears are very near
some of our eyes as we think that we
cannot tell them how we meant no
harm and that we really loved them
dearly. Perhaps they know all about it
over on that other side where all things
are made clear. Perhaps they know
even better than We could tell them,
But are we the same kind of fathers
and mothers that our own weres Or
are our homes just mechanical incuba-
tors run by the book and the clock and
ministered over by a white-capped and
aproned woman whose heart is kept
going by machinery. rather than the
pulsations of tender love for humanity
in the form of a dear dimpled bunch of
mischief?

CAISSON WORKING.

When building great buildings it is
necessary to dig deep foundations to
support the immense weight. The
foundations Cor the great structures
are built by means of caissons in which
the men can work under great pres
sure OF air. 1t is a very interesting
sight to watch them, and the best of it
range from an adjoining sidewalk. The
~caisson is a hollow steel cylinder open
at the bottom and Just large enough
TO permit a man to work. The work
man climbs down a ladder In this tube
and digs away the earth at the bottom.
AS the earth is taken away the steel
tube is gradually lowered The earth
is taken out by a bucket, which is low
cred n raised by a tall derrick at
one side. As the caisson sinks air is
pumped into the compartment con-
tanning the man. This is to force back
any water or dirt that might fill the
hole from the outside as fast as the
workman removes ii from within
The pressure of this air is often so
great that a man can work but an
ilour or so at a time. AT the top of the
caisson is a steel cylinder with an air
tight door at either end, which Serves
as a kind of vestibule to the tube
below.
When ore of the caisson workers
starts to go to work he opens the door
or lid at the top and climbs in. when
the opening is once more tightly closed.
This door or lid is air-tight. After the
opening to the outer air las been
closed the workman opens the door at
the bottom OF this steel compartment
and let's in compressed air from the
eaisson below. 1t takes a few minutes
TO become accustomed to breathe this
atmosphere. for the heavy air makes
the head ring. As soon as the work
man can do so he climbs down into
The funnel below. closing the lower
door of the steel ante-room as he does
so. All this must be done in the dark
If the workman wishes to signal the
outer world he may do so by striking
the steel sides of his narrow prison
with his shovel. He usually signals
this way when a bucket is to be
raised.
