RULES FOR SEA TRAVELLERS
On Navigation Courtesy n the
Proper Poise in
Oualms.

DO not interfere with the captain
In the performance Of his duties, or
offer suggestions in payigation based
upon your own experience in running
a catboat on Lake Mohonk." John Ken
drick Bangs says in Harper's Weekly.
There are few captains now in the
transatlantic service who have not
crossed the ocean several times, and
We know OF none who has acquired his
knowledge of the sea in a correspond
ence school
IF the lady with golden hair seated
in the steamer chair next to yours
inadvertently puts her head on your
shoulder and groans, do not rudely re-
move it, but whistle a soft lullaby as
ii you did not notice the act. Bear in
mind that two heads are better than
me-. The lullaby may put her to sleep,
when her curls may be gently removed
to her own soft pillow. Should you
desire To go below before she goes to
sleep, send the deck steward after her
husband and ask him to remove them
himself.
IF in the midst of your dinner you
feel a sudden emotional qualm arising
within you, rise with it as nearly slmul-
taneously as possible, and hasten from
the saloon, taking care in your fight
to stick to the aisles between the ia
bles and not go leaping from table to
table like a frightened antelope to-
ward the exit. This latter course
would cause considerable confusion In
the dining room and in your haste you
might inadvertently trip over another
passengers welsh-rabbit, which is not
considered good form in polished cir
Giles, either on the land or on the sea.
IF, on your way to the upper deck,
you find the staircase blocked by 9th.
ers Fastening upward like yourself, do
not step upon them in your mad flight
upward, but slide down the banister to
the lower deck, which you will find
just as well adapted to your needs as
the upper. Any deck is good in a
Qualm."

SINKING OF CONCRETE PIERS
French Government Engineers
and Others.

The novel plan of sinking concrete
piers by means of the old pile-driver
seems to have given satisfaction to
French government engineers and
others. 1t is called the compressor
system, and Is used for preparing
solid foundations in loose earth for
buildings, bridges, etc. The ground
around is consolidated as the sustain
ing piers are sunk. A conical steel
mass, called the 'perforator," some.
what less than three feet in diameter
at the base and rather more than two
tons in weight, is used in In ordinary
pile-driver for making the pier-well,
being repeatedly drawn up by the base
and released until a hole in the
ground sufficiently deep is formed.
The soil Immediately outside is solid
ly compacted. Timbering or snoring
the sides Of the excavation are unnec'
essary, and workmen are not exposed
to danger from caveins or d 'eterious
gases, as in ordinary digging Of deep
pits. When the hole is completed, the
"rammer'-an aco~rn-shaped mass Of
metal 80 inches in diameter and
weighing two tons-takes the place OF
the p%erforator. This rams the bot.
tom of the hole until hard, and com.
presses the concrete as each layer Of
about a foot is poured in, forcing the
material laterally into the soil. The
irregular corrugated surface thus
given the pier adds much to its sup
porting capacity. The system is
rapid as well as safe, and the com.
pressed wells can be sunk four or five
feet an hour.

HOW TO DOCTOR THE TREES
Some Simple Directions for Treating
Cavities Which Are
Still Small.

Many Of the so-called tree doctors,
as well as the people who employ
them, have become so elated over the
idea Of tree surgery that they find
some cause for treating almost every
and any tree, regardless of its neces-
stiles or the results of such treatment,
or whether it is worth while to spend
either time or money upon them.
A word of caution is therefore not
out of place. If you feel that your
trees need attention, look into the
matter Of tree doctoring, SO that you
may know something about 1t, and then
call upon a responsible man with a
good reputation to do your work.
When the tree has been neglected
and cavities have formed in the trunk
Of the tree, something should be done
to stop the increase Of the opening, for,
after 1t has become so large as to en-
circle the greater portion OF the tree,
or where the entire center has been
destroyed, it is not worth the time and
money 1t takes to properly treat these
trees. In cases where the tree can
still be treated the cavity should be
scraped and cleaned of all dead wood,
then give the cavity a thorough wash
ing or spraying with a solution OF cop
per sulphate. This solution, applied
to all parts of the cavity, will kill all
the remaining rot spores. Now the
cavity is ready to be filled with a CO.
ment mixture, using one part of ce-
ment to three parts of clean, sharp
sand. This is packed into the cavity,
filling 1t to one inch of the finished
surface, and then apply a covering Of
n part cement to one part sand.
This Is put on so as to bring the
filling to a smooth surface, making 1t
conform to the contour Of the tree
trunk. A coat Of coal tar may be APP
piled to d~iscolor the cement and aid
in making the filling water-tight.

Where are u poets of today?"
Numbered the orator, looking over the
vast audience that had gathered in
the district schoolhouse, waiting a
breathless moment Of two to let his
words sink into the minds of his
spellbound listeners.

from the real Of the room, "our best

csrino for Animals.

1t is a good plan for every child to
have some pet as soon as it is old
enough to look after itself. Teach the
little mes to watch the habits of the
birds and animals and explain to the
little n G that pussy does not alto
gether appreciate being squeezed too
tightly and that a dogs tail was not
meant to be pulled. Never let dogs
or cats sleep in the night nursery.

A new French case for protecting
money, jewels and important papers
from fire consists Of two asbestos
boxes Of different size, one being
placed within the ether and prevented
tram touching by a number Of asbes-
los blocks. The poorly conducting as
begtos and the insulating air space
combine to keep the inner box quite
cool while the outer one Is strongly
heated.

ed. That is showing the right kind Of
enthusiasm while In Altoona there is
not enough interest among the direc-
tors and stockholders to get together
and talk over the outlook for the com
ing year and settle up the affairs of
the season just past. In Johnstown
the club owners are dis-interested and
can't get together to make up a de-
felt of 81 400 that stands in the way
of baseball for next year and threat
ems to cause the forfeiture of the fran
chise at the first of the year In Johns
stown there is some interest being
stirred up but in Altoona It is prac-
tically dead. President William Nc
Eldowney and Treasurer Bertram
Leopold say they are tired of the way
the game has been conducted and are
about ready TO retire and in addition
there are several others willing to
step down and out and give way to
others interested in the game. II
looks as though a reorganization OF
both the Altoona and Johnstown as
sociations will be absolutely neces-
sary if the cities arc to have teams
in the Tri-State next year.

GUNNERS WANT The
PRESENT LAW AMENDED

Only a few more days and the open
season for quail, partridge, pheasant,
hare aud rabbit. squirrel, woodcock,
and dove in 1911 will be no more. The
season for this game. which is the
more generally popular among the
mass Of gunners, will end on Decem-
Der 81. The only consolation for
those who delight in roaming the
country with the dog and gun is that
they can continue to shoot wild goose

In retrospect, the season has been
q successful on Nearly all of the
gunners of Wilmington and vicinity
who have spend any time at the sport
have reported having taken the limit
of game allowed them by law. Some
however, have not been quite so
fortunate. Criticism Of the incon-
sistency of the cunning law has been
heard frequently.
For many years there have been few
laws I'm the State for the preservation

lawns and Altoona May
ReOrgdnize After Holidays

The Altoona baseball fans would
welcome the announcement that the
city would be represented in the Tri-
State League next season as a Christ
mas gift says the Altoona Tribune.
They are most likely to be disappoint-
ed for the reason that the rush and
hustle of the shopping season makes it
practically impossible for the owners
to get together and reach conclusion
as to what will be doing next sum-
mer. in baseball Following the joyous
holiday the owners have about
week to get busy, arrange the affairs
OF the club and prepare to post it's
bond to maintain team in tho race
of 1912. Indications at the present
time are exceedingly doubtful con-
cerning the city being represented in
the league next year.
There Is a lack OF interest in base
ball in the city and 1t looks as though
IL would be a mighty difficult task to
stir up interest in a movement for a
new organization to take over the
franchise should the present owners
decide to throw up the sponge. The
time is getting mighty short now and
whatever is going to be done will
have to be done I'm a quick business
manner. The situation at Johnstown
is looming up better and it is now
mout likely that matters there will be
straightened out before the first of
the year for baseball next summer.
Everybody is getting awake in the
Flood City and starting to pull togeth-
er for a team. The same thing will
have to be done in Altoona Of II is to
have professional baseball. The drop
ping out Of Altoona and Johnstown
will not break up the league for Presi-
dent Charles f. Carpenter already has
! three cities that will take over Tri-
State franchise the minute one is
thrown up by any of the clubs Of the
circuit.
Allentown is going to have base
ball this coming season. The fans there
are getting mighty busy and will TAKE
either Tri-State or a New York State
/ league franchise. A fund Of $50 600 Il
being raised for the support Of the
club among the business men and fans
and half OF IL has already been pledg.

would be wise if the fight experts OF
this country get together and place the
ban on this blow also. as it is not
the most sportsmanlike tactic to en-
play. It can be discouraged if the
matchmakers stipulate that the punch
be barred in the contests they book.
The English promoters now have a
