KHAKI AN ACCIDENT.
Discovery Of Dye Methods for Mill
tsry Cloth a Mere Chance.

A lucky accident led to the inven-
ton of khaki, that olive colored cloth
that is worn by soldiers. a writer in
Scientific American says.
For years the British troops in India
wore a cotton cloth of greenish brown,
but il always faded when washed with
soap While discussing this defect
with some British officer a business
man from England carelessly observed
that the manufacturer first to discover
the means whereby cotton cloth
could be made that would not fade
would certainly make his fortune. One
of the officers. a young man, took the
a skillful dyer. and the two began a
systematic search for an olive dye that
when used on cotton cloth could not
yield 10 soap or soda. They spent
years In experiments along this line
but to no avail. The thing seemed
hopeless.
One day. however. they found among
numerous scraps Of dyed cloth one that
retained it's color under the most Sc
we're tests. The puzzling part of II
was that this scrap had been derived
from a piece of cloth that had been
subjected to the same processes.
Finally by the merest chance they
hit upon the secret. The dye in which
this scrap had been dipped remained
for a time i'm metal dish of peculiar
kind. This metal. in combination with
ished the thing needed. They made
the experiment with other pieces; the
dye held, and their fortunes were
made.

THE NAVAL WASTE.

The annual cost OF maintaining n
battleship IL from $4,000 10 $3.50 900
The number Of universities whose an
nual budget exceeds these amounts
can be numbered on your fingers
When one takes into view the depre-
citation OF an armored cruiser or hat
tleship, II Il safe to say that n costs
more 10 maintain a battleship for a
year than TO maintain Yale college for
year. and several times what IL costs
TO maintain a college like Amherst or
williams
The value OF the grounds Of 500 col
leges and universities in this country
is estimated at $4,000. 900: OF the
buildings s21sO0O.O 900 and Of the pro-
ductive funds 100000. 900. The cost OF
thirty-eight battleships is t236. 55i.14S.
The cost Of maintaining these during
1910 was I'm excess OF s24.0OO. 900. The
entire income OF all the colleges In the
United States during 1909 was about
SOS. 600, 900.
In other words. when one takes into
view the depreciation OF the battle
ship or armore' cruiser, the entire
cost Of the thirty eight battleships for
a single year is greater than the ad-
ministration OF the entire American
system of higher education.-Chas. F.

HOW TO KEEP
WELL IN SUMMER.



In the July Woman's Home Compan-
ion. DIR. Jean williams. writing on
How to Keep Well In Summer" says.
IN part:
In general. 10 tighten the digestive
burden during the summer months. eat
sparingly. especially of the heat-pro-
ducing foods. Add green vegetables
and fresh ripe fruits generously TO the
diet Avoid underripe. overripe or
partially decayed fruits as you would
poison. for that Is exactly what they
are. Strawberries and other small
seeded fruits disagree with many peo-
pie. In such case. use only the Juice
Of the fruit.
'lce-water. so commonly and COP
iously consumed. Is very bad for the
stomach and sometimes very danger
Gus. Acute indigestion is often caus-
ed by drinking IL. AS for the ever
present soda fountain. though not all
is evil that flows from its faucets,
there are few persons whose health
will not suffer from indulgence I'm the
heavily sweetened. er-fiavored, ice
cream-nut chocolate mixtures that
are sold SO much more commonly than
the wholesome grapejuice. apple Juice.
lemonade. zoolack. matzoon or but
termilk. The last named three not
only serve as agreeable. refreshing
beverages. but are most valuable
foods as well.
Finally, let me urge everyone to
cultivate the holiday spirit. II you
can't have a long vacation, take a
short one. II you can't leave your
work at all. manage TO make your
work conform in some manner TO sum-
mer standards. Picnic as much as
you can, II you enjoy il. Eat out OF
doors. If you can do - I'm comparative
privacy. In these respects home keep
ing women are much more fortunate
than their brothers and sisters, hus-
bands and fathers out I'm the business
world because much OF their work can
be taken out of the stuffy rooms into
the air. Fortunately we are all rapid
ly learning how much of a factor in
preserving health this outdoor life
may be. and how much IL will help us
to make our summer not only health
full but happy.
