down on a freshly made beaver dam

deed, really stupendous affair for
beaver to have made. Built of alder
poles and brush. weighted with mud
and small stones, it was fifty feet long,
six feet high and raised the level Of
the water by about sixty inches.
Seen from the upstream side, it pre-
scented the appearance Of more or
less evenly disposed array of short
sticks protruding from long mound
of mud just level with the surface OF
the restrained water. From below the
brushwood supporting the dam proper
was plainly visible and the ingenuity
of its placing at once apparent

A QUESTION OF BAIT.
Should the Besgar Leave Few or Many
Cents In His HAITI

Should the Beagar Leave Few or Many
Cents In His Hat7
"One thing that I've never been able
to settle In my mind to my own sat
isfaction," said a street beggar whose
speciality il sitting on step and hold
ing out bis hat to passersby, lis the
question of how many pennies 1t Is
wise to have In the hat for people to
see as they go by. OF course you I'M
derstand there are two theories on this.
Working on one you leave there only
a few, just three or four pennies scat
tered around irregular. but pretty far
apart, and on the other you leave in
the hat lot Of pennies.
"Of course the idea Of the first plan
is to make people when they see how
little you've got want to chip in and
help, and the idea of the other plan
is to stir people up to generosity by
showing them how generous others
have been, and there's a heap to be
said for that. There's lots of people
that give because other people have
given-because they like to go with
the crowd.
"I've tried both plans and had good
days with lean bait and bad days with
q full bait in the hat and then I've
had good days with full bait and
bad days with lean bait. All you can
do Is, If one plan doesn't work we'll
try the other. You never can tell

Noble. In Mean Attire.

Where did etiquette require mobiles to
appear before their sovereigns meanly
clad? This singular custom character
lied court ceremonial In ancient Mexico
under the Aztec dominion. When the
native lords and grandees had occasion
to seek, the presence Of Montezuma
they were under the obligation, as To-
ribio de Benevente, who accompanied
the Conquistador Cortes, testifes, Of
assuming a voluminous mantle Of poor
material (una manta grosera y pobre),
with which they covered and concealed
their ordinary robes. In token d sub
lection and humiliation. These were
manufactured out of the leaves Of the
aloe tree by the commoner classes.
Etiquette required the strict observ-
ance OF this custom by all those who
came into the emperor's presence, with
the exception of persons Of the royal
blood. Any one seeking audience Of
the emperor had to don these common
clothes on bis arrival at the palace.
Barefooted and wretchedly clad, he
was led before the sovereign and with
downcast eyes made his request, with
every outward sign Of abject subserv-
fence.

The Dazzling searchIleht.

On q dark night no warship would
be safe from torpedo attack but for
the searchlight. The full moon lights
up a torpedo boat SO that it can be
fred at when nearly mile away. To
produce the same illumination with
the most powerful artificial light an
electric arc Of 100000 candle power
placed three-quarters of mile high
would be needed If the aid of mirrors
were not available. But with this
light and an ingenious arrangement
of mirrors 1t Is possible to surpass
the moon.i Searchlights are now made
which throw light distance OF sixty
three miles. but objects can be seen
only q few miles from the source OF
the light. The effect on the enemy Is
most demoralizing. When the bright
beam Is suddenly thrown on the ey'
the pupil contracts violently; when the
beam Is removed the eye can see moth
ing. II this be repeated few times
1t takes all the nerve out Of man. so
that only the best trained and most
courageous can continue the attack

AVIATION.

The Dangers involved In Three Di-

The navigation of the air is form of
locomotion that differs from all the
others to which men have resorted in
that it involves three dimensional steer
ing.
It is In the three dimensional nature
of aviation that the real wonder Of II
lies. Its demands upon the aviator's
attention arc almost appalling in num-
Der and constancy The automobilist
has to mind what he Is about not lit
tie, and moments carelessness means
disaster, but his dlvagations from safe

gravity take.care Of the others for him.
while the aeroplanist can make mis-
takes all the way around sphere;
hence. in addition to lending an atten-
tive ear to every sound from COM
plicated and delicate engine, he must
manipulate one rudder for up and
down. another for right and left and
two more at the ends of his wings.
And all these must be combined and
co-ordinated. Water is stability itself

which he moves. When in fight, there
fore. the aviator Is probably the busiest
man alive, and there is not an instant
of rest for him till after he has made
his perilous descent.-New York Times.
