TOAD UNFRAMED BY PRESSURE
Proof Of Creatures Ability to Com
press Itself Within Very Small
Limits.

An experiment was recently made
in the clay-testing department of a
machinery company at Bucyrus, O..
in which toad was placed in a 20
ton brick press and was four times
subjected to pressure of 1900
pounds without injury.
The question at issue was whether
such pressure would kill the toad
or whether its ability to compress it
self was sufficient to allow it to come
out Of the ordeal alive. The toad
was first placed in lump of gran
ulous clay and the whole pressed into
brick. After the huge press had
done its work the solid brick was
lifted from the machine and the toad
winked its eyes contentedly, stretched
its legs and hoped away.-Popular
Mechanics.

something very like classic in its
kind Perhaps, being very full Of his
theme and very much in earnest, he
wrote those short, pointed, forceful
sentences full of Anglo-SaXon strength,
simply because he couldn't help it.
That is the way such powerful things
are commonly brought into being. Ger
tain it is that Mr.. Pinchot has stated

conservation in a fashion which leaves

DEATH OF ARTIST FREDERIC
REMINGTON.

Frederic Remington, the artist, Is
dead. at the age of forty eight.
His untimely demise is a great loss
to American art and nc viii be mourn
ed by a host of those who have ad-
mired his paintings, as well as his
books and shorter stories.
Mr.. Remington was distinctly an
American. His art was more truly
American, perhaps, than that Of any
other person of this generation. He
came of Revolutionary stock, four OF
his ancestors fought in the Revolution,
his grandfather fought with General
jackson in the war of 1912, and his
father was an officer of distinction in
the civil war. He was one of the few
artists who have seen that America
has great phases of life to portray and
that it is not necessary to rush abroad
in order to find inspiration.
BY instinct, a lover of outdoor life,
snd especially of the outdoor life of
the West, with its cowboys, its In
dams, its soldiers, its plainsmen, its
great plains and Parched deserts, he
sought to put on canvas features OF
that life as he perceived it. He reach
ed to the heart of it as no other
painter of his day has done. He origi
mated the sketch of the horse in actor
and he depicted the cowboy as the
West knows him. His paintings and
his literary work are instinct with th'
sentiment that can be felt only by &
man who has a deep appreciation fol
the things he portrays, and it is saiC
of Remington that had he not been Z
painter of Western scenes he woulC
have been a cowboy or a rancher, 1
hunter or trspper in the wild countr!
to which he was attached.
Remington put on canvas a Wes
that is rapidly passing. He studies
that part of the world in the time
when the cowboy was at the height o
his glory and when picturesque an
deadly warfare between the "old army
and the Indians was of frequent oc
currence. He has preserved pictures
those days, az well as- of the imme
date present, which will be even NOR
deeply appreciated by future genera
> tions of Americans than they are tc
day. His works are not alone {
I worth for the sake of art, but the
will come TO have a value as history.

NEED OF A TRAINED RE-
SERVE FOR THE NAVY.

In a recent hearing before the House
Committee on Naval Affairs, Assistant
Secretary of the Navy Winthrop
strongly emphasized the need Of a
trained naval reserve He said he
wanted 10000 men for the naval mill
tia, as weH trained as possible and in
good physical condition. he would
have provision made for calling on
these men and Putting them into i'm
mediate service of the navy in case of
war not as organizations, but as in
dividuals
Mr. Winthrop announced that the
naval militia had a bill which he was
so changing as to bring this reserve
force into closer relations with the
Navy Department than now prevail
He would have the proposed legisa-
tion insure that the naval militia be
thoroughly equipped and well trained
in case of war. In the Navy Depart
ment ne would establish a naval mil
/ itia division. much as there is now es-
/ tablshed in the War Department a
division Of militia. Annual cruises
and frequent inspections would be pro-
vided for.
Congress viii do well TO give con
sideration to this plan or a similar one
Of strengthening the naval reserve.
Until now the militia has been looked
on chiefly with regard 70 its possibili-
| ties as a reserve for the regular army
Important as this is, the naval militia
is also Of great Importance, and it is
yearly. getting TO be more so. Om
navy goes on building up steadily
Every year two more giant battieship'
are authorized and numerous smaller
vessels. The scarcity of good men tc
man them is source OF constant trou
ble for the navy officers. In time o
war the lack of trained material would
be much more troublesome 1t NIGH
cost Ms a feet. The value Of a trainec
man over raw one on such com
plicated piece Of machinery as a bat
ueship is apparent.
3 Dealing intelIigently with the nava
militia win prove not only economical
but source of strength to the nation
