The German Government has bo-
| come interested, in plan adopted
in Holland TO prevent the destruc-
ton o. bird life by lighthouses ami
has recently sent two representatives
to examine the system used with
much success on the island of Terse-
helling.
DR.. Hennieks. one of these commits
sioners, has recently described the
system in lecture before the Ger
man Society for the Protection Of
Bird Life. The Dutch experiment,
he says, is based upon the belief that
birds are not killed to any great ey-
tent, as commonly supposed, by dash
ing themselves against lighthouses
in the darkness but that they try in
vain TO find a resting place ON their
sides. after flying around a long
line, dazed and confused by the
bright light of the refiectOrs, and fin,
lilly drop to the earth from sheer ex
laustion and are killed. At Tersc-
helling broad ladders are fastened on
The sides of the lighthouse tower, the
lungs of which serve as perches for
he birds. Near the top the rungs
ire placed about inches apart, but
lower down; the intervals are oc-
3aiionally considerably wider 10
places. so as to accommodate the large,
birds. According to DR.. Hennicke
he destruction of birds has bee.i
greatly diminished bye this device

How to Slide Down a Rope,

Sliding down rope is not so simple
as it seems. Few boys know how to
do 1t properly. If you try to descend
by letting the rope slide through your
hands the friction will burn the palms
SO that you will have to let go after a
few feet. If you try to lower your
weight from one handhold to another
You are sure to become tired and will
be forced to drop. You cannot slide
with the rope between your knees. for
the swaying Of your body will jerk
the rope out of the clutch OF your
knees and then you are likely to fall.
The easiest and safest method you
can employ is that used by flremen
and sailors. Standing upright, throw
out your right leg and give 1t a turn
round the rope. Next put the rope
in the crook of your right elbow and
clasp 1t tightly. not In your hand, but
in your arm.
In that way you can slide to safety
without the slightest trouble. The rope
does not touch any part of the body
that is not protected by clothing and
your speed can be regulated by either
Strengthening or cramping your leg.
Once learned, this method of sliding
down rope may prove in an emer-
gency the means of saving your life
or the lives Of other persons.--Youth's
Companion.

Moon Blindness,

A naval correspondent of the Lon
don Standard has written from Port
Of Spain, Trinidad, stating that in his
travels he had come across many
cases OF moon blindness, caused by
men sleeping with the moon shining
upon them. such cases occurring prin-
cipally In the tropics and the Mediter-
ranean.
Strange to say, adds the Trinidad
correspondent, men so affected can
see In daylight, but cannot do 80 when
dusk sets in. Mr.. Elgie further
quotes from a communication made by
New Zealand correspondent to a.
weekly scientific journal. This cor.
respondent was. many years ago, an
apprentice on the Liverpool ship Lang.
dale, an East India trader. ar
Once when the ship was between
st. Helena and the line some of the
crew slept on deck, fully exposed to
the glare of the brilliant moon. When
they awoke three of them were quite
moon blind, They had to be led about
at night and the ropes put into their
hands.

NIAGARA STRONG /.
AS $50 MILLION
men, IS REPORT

United States army engineers, in
recent report on Niagara Falls, es
innate the force of the cataract at
100000 horse power or $50, 000,-
600 man power. If one undertook to
develop this energy for only a single
day by hiring men at 81 each, It
would cost $500, 100000, or enough
to build another Panama Canal Be-
sides that, it would be necessary to
scour the world for laborers. as the
total ablebodied male population OF
the Unitd States is only about a
tenth of the working force that
would be required.
Yet it cannot be said that the
country is wasting the cost of tn
Panama Canal every day at Niagara
1t is estimated that a million WISH
tors derive pleasure and inspiration
from the great masterpiece of Ma
ture every year, while electrical
generating plants have been estab-
lished which are developing almost
100000 horse power from the fall
ing food. This amount will prob
ably be increased eventually by
about half as much again, but II
cannot materially exceed that, be-
cause the United States and Great
Britain recently negotiated treaty
limiting water diversion on either
side to an amount which, according
to the findings of government engi-,
neers, will not impair the Falls as
spectacle,
The treaty is not yet fully opera
tive in this country. but will prob
ably become so upon the expiration
of existing legislation next spring.
The new Arrangement will allow use
of al a4tAftAfii tt feff4fi sttbfc feet of

and further benefit industry in this
country by permitting unrestricted
importation of electric power from
