The Scientific Mapping Of the United States

these things stand out in the
charts almost as distinctly as in
the real scene.
The secret OF these maps lies
in their contour lines" Through
every point having a given ele-
walton above the chosen base lev
el. which may he the bed OF the
nearest large river, a continuous
line is run. following all the
natural curves Of the land.
Then every point that is either
twenty feet higher or twenty
lower is connected by another
parallel line.
Where the slope is steep the
lines crowd together; where
there are broad areas having
nearly the same level the lines
are widely spaced; where nils
or precipitous banks exist the
contour lines bring them out as
in a picture looked at from above.

Battle of ClOntarf =.
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

HE victory won eight hun

his Irishmen over the Danes at
Clontarf. was prominently deci-
sive.
As early as the year 795, the
terrible men from the North (the
Scandinavian region was known
as Sweden, Norway and Den
mark began TO make trouble for
the people Of the British Isles.
During the first half Of the ninth
century their attacks were in
cessant upon nearly every part
of the Irish coast, and life in the
Land of the Shamrock became
a living hell" Nowhere was life
or property safe, for leaving their
boats on the coast the Viking
robbers and murderers would Of
ten penetrate far into the inte-
rior of the country, leaving be-
hind them a trail of devastation
and death
In the course Of time perma-
nent settlements were made by
the invaders: little Kingships
were established here and there;
intermarriage with the natives
took place: political alliances
We're entered into between the
invaders and the invaded; in a
word, it was the most miNed-up
situation that one could well con-
Ceive.

Kings of Meth. Kings Of Nuns

all mixed up in a perpetual fight
for nobody knew Just what. prob
ably just for the love OF it.
But, fortunately up out OF the
chaos arose the great man who
was to bring peace TO Ireland.
His name was Brian Boru. Brian
gathered to himself an army of
his countrymen who thought
more Of their country than they
did Of office under the foreigners,
and commenced operations. In
a little while he found himself
King = S,Rster. in a little while
again. King OF Mugs Half Of
Ireland, and by and by. with the
submission Of Malachy, he be-
came OveT-King, giving the
people, we are told, a just and
restful rule.
But in Brian's old age a con-
spiracy was Matched against
him between the Danes and Ger
tain members Of his own house
hold; and as a result an army
appeared against him led by
Sigurd, half Dane and half
Irishman. It was a large army,
composed Of Danes from the
Irish mainland. renegade Irish
men, Welsh, F1emings and Sax
ons, with contingents from the
Isle Of Man, the Orkneys and
Scandinavia
Unterrifed by the formidable
array, Brian, old and feeble in
body but still strong in courage
and resolution, met them with his

TALKING DOG SAVES LIFE.
Shouts Help Then Swims Out TO
Aid Of Man Near to Drowning.

Don, the talking dog, who has been
appearing in vaudeville for several
months, covered himself with glory
Wednesday evening. He was on the
pbeach near the Shelbourne Hotel,
Coney Island, N. Y, when he saw
swimme throw up his hands and
sink.
Don promptly shouted Help!" as
loud as he could and then plunged
through the surf TO the drowning
man. He pulled the swimmer 100
feet back toward shore. Then Mount
ed Policeman Edward Cooley got out
to the man and the dog and brought
them in TO shore.
Don's regular vocabulary is eight
German words and the Imagination
needs to be stretched before the aver
age nearer is sure that he 9 saying
anything. Miss Marthe Heberland
owns Don and she appears with him.
Miss Heberland, who is staying at
the Shelbourne, was on the be ach
with Don at 6 O'Clock Wednesday,
evening when the call for help from
the water came. u was John Con-
drica, waiter in the Sheblourne,
who had gone beyond his strength.
He was about 100 yards out.
Don heard the cry and ran down to
the waters edge. Then he barked,
three separate and distinct times.
Miss Heberland says that any one
no heard him would have recognized
the barks as Helpl Help Helpr'
Don then plunged into the water
and swan out while Miss Heberland
at the waters edge thanked her
lucky stars that Don is insured for
$50, 900. The dogs own press agent
vouches for the correctness of the
amount The swimmer managed to
keep himself up until Don's arrival.
He grabbed Don's collar and the
dog turned to swim to the beach.
Mounted Policeman Cooley, who
understands Geramn when spoken by
dog, heard Dom cry for help. lie
rode his horse right into the surf.
He wasn't exactly NEEDED, for Don had
his man half way in when he reached
them. Condricas had swallowed con-
siderable sea water and his nerves
were badly shaken. These troubles
were corrected at the Coney Island
Hospital and later in the evening he
was able to return to the Shelbourne.

PREVENTS FOREST FIRES.
Efficient fire-Fighting Forces made.
quate.

Reports of forest fires from the
states with which the Federal gov
eminent is cooperating show that
there has been q general lack of un-
usual fire danger this year. This is
not taken to mean that there have
not been a great many fires, but that
an efficient fire-iighting force has
been adequate.
Only two statts, Massachusetts
and Maine. have thus far found it
necessary, because of extra serious
fire hazard, to call upon the emer-
gency provisions of their agreements
with the Federal government. Maine
has found it necessary to employ ex-
ira men over and above the normal
allowance provided in its agreement.
This any State may do under the
terms of the agreement up to a GER
tain fixed maximum, on the initia-
tive of the State officer in charge of
forest protection.
He must, however, satisfactorily
establish the existence of unusual
hazard before the extra men will be
paid. The forester at Washington has
the further right under a serious
enc rgency, to waive this maximum
provision, within the limits of the
funds available, and authorize the
State to employ any number of adj
ditional men that may seem necessary.
In Massachusetts this emergency
has been of a somewhat different
sort. Normal conditions of fire
hazard, upon which are based all the
agreements Of the Federal govern
ment with the states, in Massachu-
sets call for a distinct dry spring
and fall FIRE season. Fire protection
work may thus largely be discon-
tinued during the midsummer months.
H )wever, because of long drouths,
there has been practically 10 let-up
in the fire danger to the present. A
shortage IF funds was imminent, but
relief was secured by an amendment
to the agreement, approved by the
Secretary of Agriculture, by which
the Federal government expends $500
more and the State $1,000 more.
Under any conditions, the law
requires the State to spend as much
money as the Federal government.
In the usual summer, the State spends
on an average of three dollars to the
Federal governments one; New
York will expend at least ten dollars.
The government, however, will not
necessarily adhere to the ratio es-
tablished with a State confronted BIZ
an exceptional fire menace. In such
emergencies it will help as far as its
funds go in accordance with the needs
of the situation.
