Bake one hour and serve with q hard
sauce.
For a hard sauce, cream q third OF
q cup Of butter, add a cup OF powdered
sugar and the white OF an egg beaten

Rhubarb Pie.-Take two cupfuls OF
chopped rhubarb, a cup Of sugar, a ia
blespoonful of butter and -four and
two well beaten eggs, reserving the
whites for the top. Bake in one crust.
and cover with a meringue, using the
whites and three tablespoonfuls Of

MISTAKES OF SCIENTISTS
Faraday and Airy Made Errors About
Submarine Cable and NeWcomb
About Aeroplanes.

Sir Humphrey Davy's dogmatic pro-
nouncement against gas lighting Is
not the only instance of clever scien-
fist being hopelessly wrong. The
early history of submarine cabling
furnishes two striking examples. Con-
suited on the scientific side of the
project, Faraday asserted that the first
cables were made too small. Then he
said that 1.-The larger the wire, the
more electricity would be required to
charge it," and In this quite wrong
opinion he was supported by other
eminent electricians. As a result OF
this dictum the current was increased
until the operation literally electro
cuted' the wire and the cable broke
down. 1t was Lord Kelvin who by
sending messages through heavy ca
bles with incredibly weak electric cur
rents proved that Faraday was mis-
taken.
Sir G. B. Airy submitted the pro-
1ect to mathematics and arrived at
the conclusion that a cable could not
be submerged to the necessary depth,
and that If 1t could no recognizable
signal could ever travel from Ireland
to Nova Scotia In aviation Professor
Newcomb, one of the cleverest math-
ematicians America has produced,
who died last year, declared that he
had automatically investigated all
the conditions operating az inst the

HER FIRST PATIENT A DOG
Florence Nightingale Began Her Work
Among the Sick by Caring for
Injured Pet Animal.

A name that has been long known
and loved throughout the world Is that
OF Florence Nightingale. There is In.
deed something almost angelic In the
sound OF the name. Angel Of Mercy
was the title which she bore In life
and by which she will be remembered
In death. The heroic service of this
noble woman in soldiers camps and
upon battlefields is one Of the great.
est examples of kindness and self.
sacrifice In the annals Of human kind.
So beloved was this gentle woman, It
is said, that the sick and dying used
to kiss her shadow as she passed
their cots. The elements which made
this life Of such beauty and deter
mined so useful career for Florence
Nightingale may be best understood
from the following story:
Her 6rst experiences as nurse
were with her dolls, whose broken
limbs and bruised heads she bandaged
and cared for with all the tenderness
and gentlaness of her nature,
AS she grew older she became In.
terested In caring for wounded or sick
pets and other animals. Her first pa
tent was dog named Cap. The dog
belonged to one of her fathers shep
herds, and one day she learned that
Cap had been injured by some boys
and that the shepherd was preparing
to kill his beloved dog in order to
save him from the suffering In spite
Of the fact that she was still little
girl and very timid, she at once drove
to the shepherds home, and, with the
aid Of the clergyman Of the parish.
she nursed the wounds Of the injured
animal, and soon he was we'll again.
"Her love for pets and her skill in
curing them soon became we'll known,
and In a short time she had become
