for Much From the Darling
of His Heart. =

For eyes | love them deeply blue,
that rival Heavens fairest hue, and
sparkle like the twinkling star up
where the lustrous planets are; that

CLEAN that causes hearts to dance
such eyes, indeed, as greet my gaze
when Phyllis DER my pathway strays.
For hair I've ever been inclined
unto the russell golden kind, as bur-
nished as the copper sun that lights
my way when day is done, and brings
the comfort tried and true when all
my labors hard are through-such
locks, indeed, as glorify the world
when Helen passes by.
For brows the alabaster sort have
ever been the kind I'd court. Not

HOW TO BUILD AN lcE-YACHT,

Ice-yachting is one of the most ex-
Vibrating Of winters sports; and it
Is one that any boy with access to
pond, river, lake or icy street, can en-
Joy, because the building of an ice
yacht is not beyond his ability. Fig
ure / shows yacht which is simple
to build It is small, and Of course
with it's necessarily small sail area, it
cannot be expected to attain anything
like record breaking speed; but
medium speed is safest and is fast
enough to satisfy anybody's fondness
for sWiftness.
A detail of the ice-yacht's body
framework is shown in Fig. 2. The
seat plank A is a 2-by-10 10 feet long,
the crosspiece B is a 2-by-8 feet
long and the braces c are 2-by-4s 8
feet long. Spike plank A to the center
of crosspiece 3, at right angles to it,
and spike the braces G to B and to
the edges of A, as shown, trimming
off the ends on bevel to make them
fit. The crosspiece d is a foot-bar
and should be spiked to the underside
Of pieces A and c.

making and attaching the bow run

of 2-by4 Is inches long. Round off
their bow ends as shown The bot
toms can be simply planed Off on the
edges to bring them TO narrow sur
faces, but it is best to fasten iron
shoes to them. Hoop.iron can be
used, but half-oval iron strips are bet
ter. These can be purchased at any
hardware store. The hoop-iron can be
punched with nail for attaching but
the half-oval iron strips must be
drilled. You can get this done at a
blacksmith shop or a machine shop
at a small cost. The length of block
T should be made equal to the width
Of plank B, and the width 6 inches
Spike the block to the center of the
top of E Gig. A. Cut the two blocks
G inches long and 6 inches wide,
notch them to fit over the runner
blocks, and spike them to the sides Of
the runner blocks and to the ends Of
block T. In fastening the runners In

Airman's Dream.

NJ Esnault, Pelterie, one OF the
best-known French aviation experts,
is of opinion that the day viii come
when communication between the
earth and the moon and stars will be
possible in aeroplanes.
Providing that radium is one day
found in large quantities and that
some way of haTnessing it's energies
is discovered by scientists, he calcu-
lates that an aeroplane weighing a
ton apropos of an administrative mu-
500 miles which separate the earth
the moon in three hours and five
minutes.
About 500 pounds OF radium would
be necessary to provide the fuel for
the journey. At the current price
about S10,000,OO0,OOO worth would be
required.
Trips to certain of the stars he
considers equally practicable.

All Unpleasant Effects Eliminated by
the New Anesthetizing Method
of Philadelphia Physician.

The new ether injection method OF
anesthetizing patients in surgical op
erations was demonstrated one night
recently before the Philadelphia Coun-
ty Medical society in the Elkin clinic
amphitheater at the Hahnemann hos
pital.
DR.. j. w. Hassler and Or. J. H.
Holman Of New York demonstrated
the new method Three operations
were performed by Dr. William B. Van
Lennep, chief of the Hahnemann sur
gical staff, with Or. G. A Van Lennep
assisting
Two were minor operations and one
was major abdominal operation. In
all cases the subjects were put to
sleep with the ether injection instant
ly. With the old respiratory method
narcosis takes from five to fifteen min
utes
Before operation Doctor Honan
gave a lecture on the new method.
A Z per cent. salt solution OF ether
and hedinol or ether and paraldehyde
IS injected into the vein of the pa
tents arm.
All the operations were attended
with the greatest success None of
the after ether effects were notice
able in any of the three cases. More
than fifty physicians ard surgeons, to
gether with one hundred students,
were present at the clinic

GO BACK TO MOTHER NATURE
Scientists in Their Discoveries Un.
cover Lead That May Mean
Much to the Race.

IL the green plant in sunlight can
elaborate from water and carbon diox-
ide one of our chief food substances,
starch, there is no reason why the
biological chemist should not discover
the secret of this process and initiate
1T an a commercial scale. Starch, |
believe, has never been synthetized
but some sugars have been SO con-
structed. Two years ago Stoklassa
and Sdobnicky made the remarkable
discovery that by the action of ultra
violet light on nascent hydrogen and
carbon dioXide sugar was formed.
Such discoveries as this suggest the
means by which we are to throw of
our slavery to the green plant, and |
am convinced that in time this over
throw will become so complete that
our staple foods will be the products
of the biological chemist. = Popular

crack in her worn shoe; the bare
hands that gripped her umbrella and

should be cut as shown in Fig. II,

Big Excursion to Alaska.

Business men of Seattle and other
Washington cities, under arrangements
made the Alaska bureau of the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce, are to take an
5000 mile excursion trip to Alaska
and all through that territory. The
party, which will number about 200,
will leave Seattle June % on the
steamship Northwestern and stop at
all points of interest along the inside
passage. The trip will require about
40 days.
This is the most comprehensive
tour of Alaska that has ever been un-
dertaken by any large body of men.
The purpose is not only to look into
the commercial needs of Alaska, but
to enable the business men to get &C.
quainted with the people of that vast
country and TO promote friendly rela.
tons between all concerned.
