RUSKlN A GREAT TEACHER
Knew How to Lead the Child, Youth
and Mature Man and
Woman.

What a teacher Ruskin was! He
gave himself to those who came, en-
tering keenly, into the young delight
in the perception Of new truths and
betuty, knowing how to, take the
learner step by step as he saw the
way ahead. He charmed all with his
inimitable style even when he spoke
TO the humblest In the guild OF st.
George.
To the sensitive, impFessionable
nature Of childhood he came with q
flood Of artistic criticism that made
us yearn to draw and paint, to depict
the delicate tracery Of tree stems or
catch the varied tints of mountain,
lake. or cloud; while his scorn for
careless unconscientious artwork
drove us to strive for the best.
To the growing youth he brought
such keen perception Of moral beau
ty as made us desire to realize some
noble ideal in life, to enter seriously
some pursuit with a pure love of do
Ing beautiful work; while his con-
tempt for machine-made articles OF
poor finish taught us to value those
noble craftsmen of all ages who took
infinite pains with all that was worth
doing.
To our ripening manhood and wom-
anhood he opened the ideals of unset
fish life, where all might let their
hearts delight in the labor Of their
hands and none should toll with suf-
fering for miserable pittance; while
his prophetic denunciations of the
hideous conditions prevailing in our
large manufacturing districts made
us earnestly seek to probe these
sores and find their cure.-Theosoph-
ical Path.

Gas at Small Exp.n...

In some parts of Holland the farm.
ers have taken the hint from nature,
and as the result have their own gas
plants. On the drained marshy land,
below the sea level, natural gas Is
quite plentiful, and plants have been
installed to put 1t into practical use.
The installation comprises a we'll.
into which water from the soil fl
ters, with gas generator iplaced
therein, this extracting the gaseous
properties from the water and con-
Quoting them to reservoir containing
supply for the house. The gas thus
obtained provides all the wants for
cooking, heating and lighting lin the
house or any other part OF the farm
yard. After the plant is once Install
ed, which is at small expense, the
cost ia absolutely nothing, and the
quality of the gas is said to be par
ticularly good.

Heavy CoaJ Producers.

The concentration of the anthracite
industry Of Pennsylvania into strong
and relatively few units is shown by
the fact that In 1911 nearly rs per
cent Of the mines were producers OF
more than 100000 tons each and that
all but per cent. of the total produc-
tion was from this gdoup Of mines.
According to the geological survey
the anthracite mines exclusively in the
first class-those producing over 200,-
600 tons each-yielded 87.2 per cent.
Of the total output, and the 1853 mines
included in this class had an average
production Of 444,697 tons each. In
1910 there were 157 anthracite mines
in the 200,000-ton class and their av-
erage production was 419,035 tons
each; in 1909 ITO mines had an aver
age production of 3S6,68S tons each.

BECAME a DISGRACE TOXIN
Scotch coIiIes Reverted to Wild State
When imported Into Patagonia
and Argentina. ...

Some years ago the shepherds Of
Patagonia and, Argentina imported q
large number Of Scotch collias into
those countries to help herd the sheep.
But imagination seemed to spoil the
companionRble. ,affectionate and intel
hgent dog from the Highlands. In
two or three years his entire mature
changed tand he became independent,
RnSppish, sly and .disobedient. Bad
may have had something
to do with it, but by twos and ithrees
the collies rapidly deserted the focks
and took to the woods, where they
soon became Wild dogs.
They have increased 80 fast and
become 80 fierce in both countries
that not only DO they carry on small
animals and fowls, but have grown
so bold that they do not hesitate to
attack travellers even In broad day
light. They travel in packs, and when
hunted scatter to hiding places in
the rocks. The Patsgonian and Ar
gentine governments have, offered
'bounties for every Wild dogs brush,
and while the war Of determination
may deplete both national treasures
the only effect it has had on the col
lies has been to make them keep to
cover during the day. Every shep-
herd goes armed and keeps a constant
lookout, but shooting has not de-
creased their numbers, and poison has
been tried without success, as they
are too shrewd to eat anything. set

retina, little round spot which is

and is approximaoo esoffe- twelfth os
an inch wide. Several interesting ex.
perments can be made to prove the
presence Of this blind spot For ex
ample, cover tho right eye with the
hand or bandage and gaze with the
left steadily at point on the wall or
screen about seven feet distant. Let
another person be seated against the
wall on your left-hand side, I'm such
position that his forehead is on a
level with the point at which you are
gazing, and his nearer cheek about
twenty inches distant from it. Do not
turn your eyeball, but gaze steadily
as at first, and his face will entirely
disappear, and the wall will seem to
be perfectly blank. II you spread a
sheet of paper on the wall and note
the points at which a pencil moved
back and forth by another person ap-
pears and disappears, you will be able
to make an accurate map of the blind
spot as projected on the wall. An
other experiment is performed by
painting nine large letters in three
vertical columns Of three letters each,
upon sheet of paper, at such a dis
tance and In such position before
the eye that the central letter of the
square falls within the blind spot,
while the surrounding eight letters
are still visible.-Christian Herald.
