ROOSEVELT LAID TO REST.
So far as Theodore Roosevelt is
concerned he is the lamest of dead
ducks. His campaign in New
York was the most disgraceful
ever. His attacks upon Dix and
other Democrats on the State tick
ct were monstrous. The people,
his neighbors in his own precinct
and district, repudiated them. His
attack upon Wilson, of New Jer-
sey, and Judge Baldwin, of Con-
necticut, were utterly unworthy
of an Ex-P President of the United
States.
He can show his big teeth at
Oyster Bay and shout what he in
tends to do hereafter, but all the
same he is done for in American
politics. His hope of the Presi-
dency in 1912 is as some one has
said d barren Ideally"
All the Democrats have to do
now is to sit steady in the boat,
keep their heads and they will re-
tain control O f the government
for the next generation. Make
no mistake about 1912. Its DEM
ocratic for a certainty.

Japanese Safeguard Against
EARTHQUAKES

A remarkable fact in Japan is that
pagodas built hundreds of years ago
embody the principle. of the modern
seisfnograph. which is to minimize the
effect OF earthquake motion by the
combination of an inverted pendulum
with an ordinary pendulum; or, In
other words, by the union or a stable
and an unstable structure TO produce
a neural stability which renders the
whole building least sensible to earth
quake shock.
In the hollow well of every five stor-
led pagoda a heavy mass OF timber Is
suspended freely, like an. exaggerated
tongue from the top right to the
ground, but not in contact with 1T, and
at the shock OF an earthquake this
large pendulum slowly swings, the
structure sways and then settles back
safely upon its base.
This is also the principle followed
I'm the construction of all bell towers
throughout Japan, where the bell acts
as pendulum, and the roof, supported
by posts, forms an inverted pendulum,
as in the seismograph.
When an earthquake occurs, a pa
CODA or bell tower may be rotated or
displaced, but 1t can not be overturned
as a whole. In Simla, the motion of
the grouud on April 4, 1905, was about
two inches, and ii would require a mo-
tion Of several feet to oYerturn a big
body.-Lady Lawson in Wide World
Magazine.

The girls. however, are not willing

the coming kite day, which is a new
event, and expect to capture some OF

St. ElmO's Fire

One of the most picturesque and yet
uncanny phenomena seen at sea is what
is commonly called st. Elmo's fire, but
called by sailors 'corposants." This, as
the school books tell US, is due to pc
culiar electric conditions. 1t consists
of globes OF fire resting, during the
height OF an electrical storm upon the
mastheads and yardarms of ship.
Sometimes the balls move from place to
place around the masts
In old days, when sailors We're ex-
tremely superstitious. the "corposants"
were regarded with awe by them, and
not infrequentfy looked upon as omi-
nous. The term "corposant" is an abb
breviation OF ''corpo santo," words of
Latin origin, meaning holy body" the
superstittious sailors thinking they
were something supernatural.

PRACTICAL SEWING
Where the Girls Give Away
Their Work

In all the grammar schools of the
city the girls are taught sewing. They
bring their own material, work so
many weeks on It, and at the end of
the time take home whatever gar
ment they have made
But in the Reddng school things
are mana ged differently In the first
place, it is a primary school and sew
ing is not compulsory. However, the
principal, Miss Deane believes that
it is a good thing, whether girls have
reached the grammar age or not. So
regular sewing classes have been
part of the work at the Redding for
several years.
The materials are supplied person
ally by Miss Deane But when the gar
ment is finished It belongs neither to
Miss Deane nor to the girl who made
it, 1t has been made expressly for
some charitable institution, and to that
institution it goes.
Each year the articles are different
and go to different places The year
before last it was towels. seventy
two were hemmed and sent to hospi-
tails. Last year it was aprons rms
year it is baby clothes for the ma
ternity home Twelve tiny gowns and
81 little shirts will soon be finished.
Probably in the whole city there is
no prettier sight than these small
seamstresses bent above their work,
the cleanest of small hands fashlon-
ing the baby shirts. 1t is very Sc
rious and important work, indeed, and
not stitch is allowed to remain that
is not as perfect as it can be. Often
the clothes sent to charitable homes
is of a quality and workmanship that
makes one blush for shame OF the
giver and pity for the unfortunate one
who was to wear them. But the clothes
turned out by the Redding girls are
things to be proud of.
When one is sewing for herself care
less work slips in sometimes. Mother
will probably think it is pretty nice
in any case. But when the name OF
the school is involved. then the mat
ter is different. 1t would never do
to offer to make things for some one
else and then make them badly. NO
one must be able to say that the fieu-
ding girls offered to do something and
didn't do it properly. 1t isn't at all
probable that any one will say that
however.
Besides the value OF learning to
sew, by doing 1t in this particular
way Miss Deane has a tWofold op-
ject When a girl has hemmed one
tOWel, Sne mas leaihou .l"e ''
true. But the household value or one
towel is not very great. But when ~
girls have hemmed 72 towels, each girl
hasT not only learned her part, but
some one is 72 towels to the good,
a rather important thing when an in
stitution has to depend on contribu-
tions. Last and most important or all,
each girl has learned to think or
others. to realize that small as her
power of helping is, still she can do
something of real value,
1t is very doubtful If the Reddlng
girls were told to sew for themselves
if they would want to give up their
present system
Keep it up, Redding school. You are
doing something worth while and do
ing it in the best possible way
quietly.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR KITE
Practice Construction During
Vacation Week
by Il. X. BARTHELL,
Hend of Manual Training Department

Head of Manual Training Department
The idea OF kite day for the school
boys and girls is proving a popular
one Some are having a hard times to
decide what kind OF a kite to make;
there are so many kinds to choose from
it is quite bewildering
The question Of the sticks is perplex-
ing many Kite sticks should be light
and strong. Probably the best wood
easily procured in San Francisco is
spruce. Redwood shakes. the split
kind, make good sticks. Good sticks
can often be picked up in the refuse
pile at a planning mill.
Kite sticks should not be nailed to-
gether-always tied with light strong
string or thread. Neither should they
be notched at point of crossing each
other. The best way to fasten the
string to the ends of the sticks is to
make saw cut, say one.quarter of an
inch deep. After the string is let into
the cut bind the divided end together
with thread so that the stick will not
split and the string can not come out.
Kites have tails so that they will
balance properly. A long, light tail is
better than a short, heavy one. Tails
made OF strips of cloth an inch wide
with cross pieces OF tissue paper are
very satisfactory. r
A kite Will not fly well unless
the bride is properly adjusted. The
kite must balance when hanging from
the bride in the hand inAthe same rel
ative position as 1t is expected to as
sumo in the air.
Then there is the string, Remember,
string is just as strong as it's weak
est part. Three ply cotton string is
strong enough for kites of three feet
or under. The string must be selected
to suit the kite and also the wind. Use
as light string as you can get that
is strong enough.
Tissue paper, the tough kind is
very good and cheap covering. Don't
use too much paste. How many girls
and boys know how to make good
paste? Put ia tablespoonful OF -four
into tin fcup. put in enough cold
water so that when well mixed with
a spoon it will be as thick as thin
cream. Then put on the stove and pour
on boiling water stirring all the time.
When the mixture bubbles 1t is done.
If lumpy, strain through fine sieve
or piece of cheese cloth. spoonful
Of -four will make cupful of paste.
When ready to put the paper on the
frame, first put some newspapers on
your mothers floor, to save the floor
and to protect your kite paper Don't
cut the cover more than half inch
larger all around than the frame. The
corners may be improved by pastins
on two thicknesses Of paper.
Some of the boys and girls may want
to read up on kite making; here is a
list of articles on the subject:

olas. April. 1907; Flexible Brides
