There are several implements used

MAP

How will the new map Of the Balkan
peninsula be prepared after the changes
made by the war?
William Stanford. London map pub
Usher, replied to this question in an
interview with a newspaper man:
One of two things he explained with
regard to the mechanical part of the
work usually happens when maps have
to be altered. Either the old bound
aries on the existing copper plates
are taken out and the new boundaries
re-engraved, or an entirely new map is
made.
In the c1se of the Balkans, he said, a
new map will probably be made right
through from the beginning. because
before the war all the existing Eng
lish maps of the Balkans. without ex-
ception, were very old. having been
prepared before the days of surveys
of precision.
The material for the new maps will
be obtained from the treaties which
will be issued by the various govern
ments. Where alterations are made
this treaty will lay down with all the
necessary exactness the position of the
! new boundaries.
In the Balkans the exact line of from
tier has often been difficult to follow.
Take Macedonia, for example," Mr..
Stanford said. VERY few people could
tell exactly where the boundaries are.
They do not exist on the maps. They
are best defined by the basins or val
leys of two big rivers. the Vardar and
the Struma. The same with Albania.
There is no boundary line on any

GREAT DAMS FOR GERMANY

The Prussian government may appro-
pirate $2,150.OO0 for the erection of
dams at the head waters Of the Weser.
It is sought to obtain an extra supply
of water to feed the canal now In
course of construction between Hano-
yer and the Rhine, to prevent foods
and to obtain water power for the gen.
Grafton Of electricity for Industrial pur-
poses.
At present the intention is to erect
two dams, one on the Oder, which
unites with the Fulda not far from
Cassel. and another on the Diemel, a
western continent of the Weser empty
ing into 1t north OF Cassel. The first
dam will contain more than 200, OOO, 900
cubic meters of water. the second about
20.000,O00. Later a dam will be built
across the Weser itself below Minden,
where the Hanover-Rhine canal is to
intersect the river. The cities of Cas-
sci and Gottingen are to be supplied
with electricity from the new works.

SHIPS TO BE cHARTEp DAILY


The navy department is perfecting
plans to chart about noon each day
the position of every ship on the Allan
tic which carries a wireless outfit.
The chart will be posted at the Mari
time Exchange, in New York. 1t will
be of great value because the Airing
ton station is powerful enough to get
reports easily from across the Atlantic.
Ships with smaller outfits can commu-
nicate with those carrying strong bat
teries, and these will report to New
York or via the Arlington station.
Admiral Andrews of the bureau of
navigation said commercial bodies had
tried to make such a chart, but it was
manifest that the facilities of the navy
department were necessary to get word
from all the steamships on the At
lantic.

LOWERING BOATS AT SEA


Commander Easton of the navy of
Great Britain has invented an interest
ing device for the lowering of boats
at sea with the minimum of danger to
passengers, which was submitted to
the board of trade. Commander Eas-
ton had devoted considerable attention
to the subject and has a practical
knowledge of boat work at sea.
His system is the provision of lifts
down the side of the ship, so designed
that the boats rest on a platform,
which slides down guide rails fixed to
the ships sides. The boats themselves
swing IN gimbals, so that no matter
at what angle the ship may swing the
boats remain upright and there is no
danger of their being overturned while
descending or of being dashed against
the sides of the vessel.

No matter how healthy a human being may be it is safe to say that not many months are passed without some obstruction of the bowels, in other words, constipation, even if only tenn porary. The bloating. the dull feeling may start after the evening meal. If laxative is not taken that night it is certain that sleep will not be sound, and you will awaken unrefreshed
 Hence 1t is important for you and for all the members of your family that good, reliable laxative be always kept in the house for just such emergency. It Is sure to be needed, and when needed you want it at hand. No family that is careful of it's health can do without such . remedy.

AUNT PATS PROPOSAL
By JULIA GREENE.

T was never a strong advogate of the idea that women ought to propose" said the red-headed man. still, l known one woman who took matters neglected by a bashful suitor into her own hands and wound up the busi- ness so neatly and in so novel a man. her that she won plaudits from every body who ever heard the story.
 This woman was known the coun' ty over as Aunt Patsy Mitchell. Aunt Patsy lived alone in a big red brick house that was set down in the mid dle of an immense yard. The yard at one time was we'll shaded, but the trees had been felled one by one until nothing remained standing but few cedar trees and one monstrous oak. This oak stood in a corner not far from the front fence. It was the most perfect specimen of fine, sym metrical forest tree to be found in that part of the county, and Aunt Patsy had always been very proud of it. It's a grand type of endurance she had often been heard to say. Why, per feet as that tree is, 1t ought to be standing 500 years from now Know ing those to be her sentiments, the surprise of the neighbors was un. bounded when 1t was learned that Aunt Patsy had sent for two wood cutters and had ordered them to chop down the oak tree three feet from the ground.
 "A few days after the tree had been felled and dragged away I was walk ing past Aunt Patsy's house with Walter Craig Craig was a man who had managed my fathers farm for several years. From the top of his head to the sole of his foot Craig presented very peculiar appearance, but his most striking single feature was his mouth That organ was kept wide open day and night, sleep. ing or waking AS we neared the house we saw Aunt Patsy standing at the front gate. We went up and stopped on the other side.

 "T reckon she said. there's whole raft of people hereabouts d like to know that very same thing
 "I reckon said Craig, there is.'
 "'Well.' returned Aunt Patsy, I don't wish any of 'em any harm SC I do hope they won't hold their breath till they find out Not but what they're goin' to some day, for they are, but they'll have to bde my time"
 Craig nodded respectfully. And what you goin' to do with the stump, Aunt Patsy?' he asked. You ought to have that drug up by the roots'
 "'I oughtn't do anything of the kind retorted Aunt Patsy. I've made all my callations regardin' that stump, and certainly don't cal'late to have 1t drug out
