canaries in Mines.

About fifteen years ago Dr. John
Scott Haldane, who had studied condi-
tons in Cornish collieries, suggested
that canaries could be used to adj
vantage for detecting poisonous gases.
These delicate birds are very suscept-
ible to impure atmosphere. and can
thus be used to give a warning before
a. man feels the slightest discomfort.
The first test of canaries in real
mine disaster in this country took
place at the Cross Mountain mine ex-
plosion at Briceville, Tenn. Here the
government rescuers. equipped with
oxygen making machines upon their
backs and carrying Gagged canaries.
were followed by squads of unprotect-
ed volunteer rescuers. The birds were
watched. and as long as they remained
cheerful all was well, but when their
wings began to droop and they gasped
for breath it was known that the men
without oxygen machines must ven
ture no further.
The canaries drew the line OF safe
ty. and as a result no volunteer res
cuers were exposed to the dangers OF

OLIVE A PRICED POSSESSION
Besides Being Prolific Producer OF
Fruit, Its Wood Is Valuable for
Furniture.

Most people know how good the
olive is. both in the fruit or as oil.
The olive in it's wild state is mere
thorny shrub, but under cultivation it
becomes tree from 20 to 40 feet high.
The leaves are not unlike those of a
willow; of dark green color on the
upper side and whitish gray under
meath. The flowers are small and
white, the fruit greenish, never larger
than a pigeons egg. and generally or
an oval shape; this fruit being pro-
duced in such profusion that an old
olive tree becomes valuable posses
sion to its owner
The oil obtained from the fruit is
much used as an article OF food in the
countries where it is grown, and to
less extent in other countries to which
it is exported.
Olives gathered before they are ripe
are picked, and in this condition are
considered useful as digestive. The
wood of the tree takes beautiful
polish, and being finely grained and
marked is much used by cabinetmak-
ers in the finer parts Of their work.
The olive is native Of the warmer
temperate countries Of southern Eu-
rope. parts of Asia and California. II
attains to a great age.

HOW TO GET RED HAIR

1t has been found that the way to
obtain auburn hair is to get a job In
a soda ash mandatory. A new soda
ash plant started abroad employs
many men in the processes of chang
ing the salt as 1t comes from the huge
veins which underlie the locality.
When these men went to work they
wore hair that ranged from the light
blonde of natives of northern Europe
to the dark and shiny locks that grow
upon the heads Of other races. Grad
ually it was noted that the hair of the
blonde men was assuming a golden
'tinge. and as time wnrss on the golden
hue deepened until now the hair
ranges through all the shades of red
from a golden auburn to fiery red.
The change from the brown hair OF
some of the men to the reddish tinge
appeared to be slower, while the black
hair resisted longest. but now virtual
ly every man who has worked In the
plant more than year can truly say
that his nair is red. Mustaches and
boards have been affected the same
way.

The latest Alpine winter sport may
be called bicycle tobogganing." and
though it has only been introduced =
short time it is likely to become very
popular. The 'bicycle-toboggan" comes
from and has so far been seen only
in Grinde,wald, where its inventor, a
local peasant, lives turning out his in
vention as fast as he is able. The &C.
companying picture shows that the
new machine is much like an ordinary
bicycle except for its having neither
wheels nor pedals. There are handles
by which to steer and foot-rests for
the feet. which must be put on the
ground whenever braking is necessary.
Although at first it is difficult to steer
straight. bicycle-tobogganing is very
easy to learn.

MARVEL OF ALASKA

Alaska is a far distant country. a
very rainy country. depressed by the
long sub-Arctic nights; but there is
somehow a fascination about it which
draws back the man or woman who
has once experienced it. And the life
in Alaska is anything but frigid.
Though so far from the cities. though
for hundred miles at a time you
see not house along the shore, the
few towns are very unlike the raw
frontier OF the plains. Sirka Is a gem.
with its handsome Greek church. its
old Russian headquarters. its pic
turesque shores. its Indian basket sell
ers. In Juneau is as agreeable social
life as you will find anywhere, with
most excellent state dinners. That is
the marvel Of Alaska-the contrast
between the vast loneliness and the
truly modern life Of the scattered set

in Alaska is hardly woman yet. but

EFFECT OF ALCOHOL is. BAD
Which Greatly Reduces Mechani-
cal Energy-Retards Endurance.

Alcohol has a profound effect upon
the central nervous system. There
are two theories with regard to its ac-
ton. BY some 1t is considered a
stimulant, by others 1t is thought al
ways to cause depression. Small
amounts of alcohol may bring about
an increased sense OF well-being which
is most pronounced when the lights
are bright and the company congen-
ial. Larger quantities induce inco-Or-
dination of speech and movements,
whereas still larger quantities result
in complete anesthesia which may be
fatal to the individual. For the first
few minutes after taking alcohol 1t
has been found that larger quantity
of physical work may be performed.
This is followed, however, by a period
of depression during which the guam
tity of mechanical energy which may
be expended by the individual is
greatly reduced.
The sum total of the effect Is very
decidedly to reduce the amount of me-
chanical work which can be accom-
plished during the day. 1t is on this
account that alcohol is no longer Civ
en- to soldiers on the march in the
hope of increasing their endurance.
The actual result would be quite the
contrary.
Experiments regarding the action of
the brain after taking alcohol as com
pared with its action before taking al
cohol have been made by Kruepelin.
Typesetters were used as subjects 1t
was found that those who had par
taken of alcohol made a greater num-
Der of errors and worked less rapidly
than those who were abstemious.
Kruepelin has found that this effect
lasts as long as twenty-four hours aft
err alcohol has been taken.
Curiously enough, writes Professor
Graham Lusk. In the popular Science
Monthly, those who had taken alcohol
thought they were doing their work
to better advantage than those who
had not

DRINK QUESTION IN EUROPE
Thomas Edison, Noted Inventor, Re-
turns From Extended Trip and
Tells of Liquor Situation.

The New York Times recently pub
iished an extended interview with
Mr.. Thomas A. Edison upon his OBJ
servations in Europe, where he had
been travelling. Among other things
Mr. Edison discussed the drink ques-
ton in France and Germany, the
countries where a certain class of IRE
formers" tell us there is no drink
evil, because the people all drink
beer and wine.
Mr.. Edison took a. wholly other
view of the matter He said:
Germany eats far too much. but
she drinks with more reckless alb
surdity than she eats Her tremen-
dous consumption of beer, wine and
high alcoholic elders is appalling 1t
hurts her people mentally and phys
ically and hurts the nation econom-
ically
Both France and Germany drink
too much alcohol French wine Is
said to be less harmful-some even
call it goodman the beverages or
other countries, because of its low
content of alcohol. But I noted that
the ordinary Frenchman takes nearly
quart. or. very likely, a full quart.
of this beverage before he stops. The
alcohol is more diluted by the liquid
which contains it, but at the same
time his quart of low alcoholic wine
gives him as much straight alcohol as
three or four drinks of our whisky
give an American topper.
The same thing, in greater or
less degree, is true of German beer.
The German drinkers get a good deal
of alcohol in the course of its con-
sumption, although it contains but
four per cent. The effect upon the
nation liz a slow deterioration. as
against the quick results which the
Irishman. for instance. gets with his
hard drinking OF potheen.
But / don't know but the one Is
practically as bad as the other. both
are very bad: and l may say this al

tinent, as a whole, is not intoxicated.
but stupefied by alcohol and / cannot
see that the effect of this upon the
human system, brain and body, Is
likely to be any better than that OF
quick drinking and more apparent
drunkenness.
Another thing which I noted with
a real distress. In America we do
not. to any great extent, have liquor
at our tables, and, in consequence.
our young are not taught alcoholism

more. "The Sentimental Millionaire"
Sometimes. too, he has been called
1.-THE Hermit of Fifth Avenue"
John G. Wendell is probably the
.cnly man alive today who can consci-
cautiously lay claim to the title "The
Man Who Has Enough Money"
A younger man with a limited
amount of money wanted to rent one
,of the old mans stores on Broadway
i'm which to begin modest business.
He went personally to the owner about
the rental. Wendell stated his price.
But don't you think, Mr.. Wendell"
,demurred the young man, "that that
is pretty stiff rent? I'm only starting
IN business and l don't want to use
the biggest part of my capital for
rent"
Practical in His Business.
Young man." was the answer.
you're right. 1t is high rent-too
high for you to pay. But l can't come
down. My rents are not high, as rents
go on Broadway, but such as they are
4 cannot change them. The price has
been fixed-it's sentiment of mine not
to change them"
Then | suppose I'll have to pay it,"
sighed the prospective tenant.
Wendell went on as if without inter
ruption.
It's my price. but can't rent to
you. | couldn't have it on my consci-
ence that young man starting bust
ness was running himself to pay me
rent. Hunt another store where the
rent is right, is my advice. I reckon
that little store of mine can stay with
out tenant for time yet"
Nor would the offer of full years
rent in advance move him.
John G. Wendell had proven again
that he did not care for money. but
that he did care for the sentiment
with which he has surrounded his
prOperty-that that which is, is. that
which has been cannot be changed.
Again a young man coveted a GER
tain store and went to Wendell with a
proposition to rent
But / have tenant on that prop
srty," objected the old man.
Il know" was the reply. 'But |
understand his lease is about up. I'll
give you double the rent he is paying
you"
The Sentimental Millionaire paid a
visit to his tenant. Your times al
most up" he began. "Satisfed?"
The tenant declared he was.
All right" said Wendell.
The other man called again next
day.

You can't have the store"
But

an the owner. What do care fer a
