behind, and this is fatal mistake, for, every once in a while, a ball strikes the eye, and it usually comes with so much force as to destroy the eye or seriously damage it. Vision, at least, is almost always lost, and the removal of the eyebal1 itself is ire quently necessary to prevent a sym pathetic and fatal disease of the othx to look back on the golf field. When
 Fore is called, look the other way, and lean forward, as 1t is better to be hit on any other part of the body than on the head. Even when Fore is not called, it is better not to look back, except when necessary, as balls are al- ways liable to be flying (especially on small and crowded felds) and an eye injury is always among the possibili- ties.
 Another, but less frequent, source of eye accidents on the golf field is the reckles and inconsiderate swinging of clubs in making, practice shots when practice and should be sharply dis couraged, as some fatal accidents have occurred by a crushing blow on the head by a golf stick. Eyes have been seriously and totally injured by the same custom. If players wish to make practice strokes they should do so in remote places where they will not in- jure other people.
 Eyes are also frequently injured by being struck with foreign bodies, such as sand, gravel, etc, flying off from the end of a club, as when a player endeavors to drive ball from a sand pit with a niblick. This exaspera ting performance will frequently be fol- lowed by a shower of sand, gravel, etc., flying around tn players head, and eyes are often injured in this way. The injury is usually slight, but sometimes more serious consequences ensue, and eyes have been lost from the conse- quences of such accidents.
 Within the last two or three years quite number of serious accidents have occurred from the opening of golf golf balls to ascertain their contents. Most balls contain no fluid, but there are balls wherein will be found acids, held there under high pressure, so that when opened by a knife, hatchet or what not, the acid squirts out Not in- frequently, the eyes and face have been severely burned. The acid Is sup posed to give the ball greater resil- ieney and carrying power, but it's use is dangerous. Do not cut open golf balls, to see what they are made of, or for any other reason

Emiqrant Party.

This was most amusing entertain ment given at a seaside place at the little clubhouse built out over the water.
 The invitations read: "All Aboard for the Manor Dock. Come in Emi- grant Costume; August Eighth at Eight O'clock
 Refreshments fifty eents."
 The cards were limited to a coterie who were well acquainted and as the parting of the ways was near, every one entered most heartily into the scheme The couple who attracted a great deal of attention was man and his wife who appeared as Dutch peas ants, including wooden shoes. Pad dy'' from Cork and Sweet Kitty" his colleen, were hailed with delight Prizes were awarded to family of Russian Jews, who were most realis- tic, carrying great rolls and bags, with a bird cage and baby which was large doll.
 The grand march was formed and all passed before the inspector, who gave clean bill of health. Refreshments consisted of sandwiches, iced coffee, doughnuts and pie served just as such things are found in country station; counter and benches had been ar rangel with tall dishes of fruit; plates of sandwiches, alternating with fried" cakes and pie; hot tea or coffee, also ice cream could be ordered.
 Card tables were provided for those who wished to play. and there was jolly dance. The possibilities of this plan are great and such an affair could be utilized by church society or club as a means of making money.
 Flags of all nations would make an appropriate decoration.

LONG HEAD IS BUSINESS ONE
Shape More Important, This Writer Says, Than Size-Some Noted
 Examples.

London.--A writer in an Indian pa per states that heads have changed remarkably during the last quarter of century, owing to the advancement of education, which is materially af fecting business men and women by developing the mental powers The person who will hold the reins of command in the future will be the long headed Individual, who is fast surpassing his wide headed brother.
 The shape of the head is of greater importance than Its size, and the best literary type of head varies from 22 to 231a inches, but up to 24A inches may be found men of powerful in- tellects. Heads that succeed in busi- ness and in manufacture and mech anism are usually large, wide about the ears and forward, with a broad, though not always high forehead.
 Heads that succeed in educational, literary, scientific, analytical and ar tistic pursuits are generally long, pro- portionately narrow and high, with a good development forward of the ears. Sir Thomas Lipton, H. Gordon Selfridge and Sir Joseph Lyons are among the men who possess heads which may be accounted somewhat ideal types of the class of business men who will lead in the future.

 From 1700 to the War of the Rev olution Nantucket was famous as a whaling port. For time it held first rank and in 1726 shore whaling reached it's highest mark of 86 whales having been taken that year. Some years later whaling fleets were sent out to distant points off Newfound- land, the West Indies, Cape Verde is- lands, and even to Brazil, and the business was one of large gain de- spite the danger from French and Spanish private@s. In 1775 the Man. uacket fleet numbered 150, and the population then was nearly 5000, and all save meager ten per cent of them were Quakers. By 1785 the fleet had been shattered, 134 ships having been destroyed or captured during the War of the Revolution.

70 BLOW COAL THROUGH TUBE
London Borough Council Has Scheme to Supply Factory With
 It's Fuel.

London.-Hammersmith Borough council, which has a municipal cleo tricity undertaking and has to arrange for the storage and delivery of large quantities of coal, reports in favor of a scheme to bring the coal from the wharf to the electricity works by blowing 1t through a pipe. To enable the coal to pass through the pipe water would also have to be blown through and the report declares that the mixture of coal and water could be forced through at a velocity of about seven feet per second, about five miles an hour.
 Upon delivery at the electricity works the coal would be allowed to settle down in the tanks, when the surplus water would be drawn off and returned to the river. The cost of the scheme is estimated at s50,000

Uncle Sam Can Gauge Horsepower of Human Body

1 In the laboratory is a respiration calorimeter, chamber in which Uncle Sam's scientists put subjects to measure the energy which the subject gives off while he is engaged in diff ferent tasks and wkile fed different diets of food
 The calorimeter is valuable in- strument in many ways. It enables the government to recommend certain diets as being of the greatest use to men and women in different occupa- tions. and it enables them to recon mend combination of foods that are cheap, but at the same time sustain ing.
 The apparatus itself is six and half feet square and of the same height. There is window in the side to permit light for reading or studying, couch, to permit the sub- ject to lie down; a pipe through which air enters, and another through which it is expelled. The expelled air is caught and it's components ana lyyzed for part of the food you eat is expelled with every breath.
 The heat given of by the subjects body is weighed and measured and then carried off through a brass pipe that has current of cold water run ming through it. The heat-absorbing power of the pipe is enhanced by a series of copper disks that are sol dered to it. The method is merely the reverse of that practiced in bring ing heat into room by the hot-wa- ter method. In one, the cold water carries it away; in the other the hot water brings it in. The exact amount of heat expelled from the subjects body is measured by the flow of cold water. one ealorie of heat being nee essary to raise one kilogram of water one degree centigradea

Oriental Slippers Go With Soft, FiImy, Silk "Rest Suit" Is Fashion
 Dictum.

London-Fashion in male wear is, we are told, in a transition state. The gaudy sock, the spat, white or col ored; the broad shoe lace, are as though they never were. They are taboo. We now revel in unobtrusiye socks and our shoes are spatless and fastened with stringlike laces.
 The latest craze is the rest suit, to be worn on quiet evening after din ner or for bachelor tea parties Here is a full description of one, worn. 1t is said, by a we'll known peer. It is of dark green watered silk, with revers of old gold, the coat being edged with olive green silk braid.

New York.-Nantucket, the little is- land that offers the last glimpse of land to those on ships sailing from the principal American ports and that IS the first signal welcome to incom- ing European vessels, is making an effort to obtain $100,000 with which to endow hospital suitable to it's needs. An appeal has been sent out to the generous people of America, particularly to those who have some sort of sentimental attachment to this picturesque dot in the wave-tossed wa ters of the Atlantic
 Once the center of a tremendous in- dustry based n the catching of whales Nantucket now figures chiefly as a community engaged for brief season each year in catching summer board CTS, but 1t knows no closed season for the rescue of persons on ships wrecked in the troubled waters out side its haven. There have been ter rible wrecks recorded as happening in the vicinity and daring work by life savers since the first hardy pio- neers settled on the island two and half centuries ago.
 Isle de Nantochyte you will find the spelling OH an outline map of early days. The island is almost crescent shaped, about 15 miles long and about two and half miles wide, and has coast line of 80 miles. It belongs to Massachusetts, but is separated from Cape Cod penincula by 2S miles of water. The village of Nantucket is on the north shore of the island, almost midway east and west, but it was not always there. The orig inal site was on the west cpd of the island at a point now known as Mad dequet harbor. In 1872 the settlers moved to the present site, which then was called Wescoe. The next year, by order of Governor Francis Love- lace, it was named Sherburne, and it was not until 1895 that the present name was adopted by the village.

through a narrow inlet into a large inland pond or lake As the tide rose and fell, something like three feet, this interior body of water would be filled and emptied twice each "A hours. A dam was thrown across this inlet, leaving narrow space for a raceway, and in this space the large old wheel was hung.
 It has passed through at least five great wars. It has been destroyed once by cavalry raid, and was grinding corn when the French and Indian wars were being waged. It ground corn for Washington's army when 1t was be- sieging the English army at Yorktown, only few miles away. In the evolu- tion of the grist mill first came the h. dian mortar, followed by crude mill stones of small size propelled by hand power; then larger ones run by horse power. Windmills were next and then came tidal mills, and the other water mills, where the flow of water has been damned. Steam has revolution ized the milling processes, but there is still work for the tidal mill.

Richmond, Va.-In all probability the mill shown in the illustration is the oldest in commission in America. 1t is a tidal mill on East river, an arm of Mobjack bay in Virginia. It was built in the early days of English settlement in Virginia and is still in commercial operation with power de- tides.
 The early Virginia settlers harness ed the tides to the mill wheel to grind their corn, later on adding ma chinery and other apparatus for mak- ing flour. They found a place where force, where the water was forced
