II is vastly important that such
rooms be made as comfortable as pos
sible for the strained human intel
lects working out their country's de-
Tense within them. But to make them
comfortable is a difficult problem. In
the United States the first modern bat
teries were completed during an
exigency caused by the war with
Spain. But since their completion
during the warm and humid months
OF summer and early fall their gal
leries, magazines and service rooms
reek with moisture. Water stands in
great beads upon the walls and cell
ings, from which it drips down TO form
great pools upon the floors, and they
are not safe places for either human
beings, ammunition or material of war.
To remedy the evil many expedients
have been tried and much valuable
experience gained. But the problem
is beset with difficulty.

fish they lose all sense of equilibrium
and roll about as If crazy. Most fish
hunt their food by only defective

THE TONIC OF VICTORY.
Army Surgeons Say II Acts Almost as
an Anaesthetic.

Bonnette, French army surgeon,
writes in the Presse Medicale of the
extraordinary Indifference to the pain
Of operation manifested by the soldiers
of Napoleon while the great conqueror
was sweeping victoriously over Europe.
While the defeated soldier is full of
imaginary terrors, subject to panic,
madness and treason, the conqueror, on
the other hand, is intoxicated with sue
cess, says the New York Medical
Journal. Nothing. not even the morbific
microbe, can resist troops who believe
themselves to be invincible.

storatives and deepest Of anaesthetics.

FALLS ONLY TO RISE.
An Experiment Which Shows a oort Of
Perpetual Motion Effect.

A novel experiment in the demon
stration Of perpetual motion is to be
performed simply. A glass beaker
about six inches high and four inches
in diameter is filled with water to
the height of about four and a half
inches, and two and One-haif to three
ounces of commercial anime are add
ed, which will sink TO the bottom Of
the vessel.
The temperature of the beaker and
its contents is now raised TO 10 or
10 degrees Fahrenheit by means OF a
burner, when it will be observed that
the aniline will rise to the surface of
the water, from which it will hang in
a mass OF curved outline Almost i'm
mediately the suspended aniline COM
mences to alter in shape, and grad
ually large drop an inch or more in
diameter detaches itself from the
mass and falls through the water.
And now, the detached drop having
fallen to the bottom of the beaker,
comes the surprising part Of the ex-
pertinent The fallen drop is seen
gradually TO rise to the surface, where
IL joins the mass from which it pre-
viously broke away. At once another
drop commences TO form and, having
become detached, falls and rises in the
same manner as the previous drop.
SO long as the temperature of the
water is maintained at 10 degrees
Fahrenheit or over this procedure con-
tinues indefinitely. - Spokane Spokes-

zebra is absolutely useless. and efforts
to domesticate him have been without
good results. He tramps over the
plains, breaks down fences, tears up
the cultivated fields and really fulfills
no mission in life save that of supply
ing the lions with food. As long as
the zebras stay the lions will be there,
but the settlers says that the lions are
even preferable to the zebras.
Under the old game ordinance expir-
ing December 10, 1909, sportsman
was allowed two zebras under his
license. Under the new one he is al
