certain specified quantities of food or

WILL PLEASE A BOOKLOVER
Attractive and inexpensive Gift That
Serves Its Purpose to
Perfection.

An attractive and very inexpensive
gift that is suitable either fen young
person or for an adult is a bookmark
embroidered with the name of the per-
son for whom it is intended. Either
wide or narrow ribbon can be used in
making the bookmark and with the
aid Of papier mache initials which can
be purchased in almost any store
where embroidery materials are sold
even a young girl can make a really
handsome one. If the ribbon is wide,
as illustrated in the drawing, the mi
tials should be larger than where mar
row ribbon is used. 1t is not desira Bile,
however, to place a thick bookmark
in an expensive book and for this rea-
son many booklovers prefer a long,
narrow ribbon marked with small mi
tails at one end where they will never
be shut inside the book. Such a
marker can be made from satin rib

In general melodies of the old-fashs

to best advantage on chimes. Mr..

be possible to make the clock play "a
different tunes by making certain
changes in the mechanical equipment
and by adding another IL figures to

The clock, which is of the hall type
some six and one-half feet high, plays
the tune and then strikes the hour. It
is operated by electricity supplied
from an ordinary electric battery.

For the Slaughter of Men.

Even warfare has been brought to a
high state of efficiency. The number
of rounds that can be fired by means
of various guns during an ordinary
battle can only be imagined. Stats
tics from the Russo-Japanese war
show that at Ljaopan one battery fired
$500 rounds in one day, while another
fired 1904 rounds, making for each
gun about Alb rounds in one day. This
was not an uncommon occurrence, and
it shows the expense involved in car
rying on modern war.
The most common projectile of the
three-inch caliber is the shrapnel,
which is in itself gun, arranged by
time fuses so that at the desired
height it is made to burst, shooting
forward out of shell $50 lead balls,
each effective to kill man.

Fire Damp Indicator.

A new fire damp indicator was
recently demonstrated in London.
The device is adapted to indicate the
presence of fire damp in coal mines
1t is based on the well-known princi-
pie of catalytic combustion resulting
from placing platinum black in certain
explosive gases. The device is in
the shape of a torch with two differ
ent thermo-electric couples connected
in series with a sensitive galvanome-
ter. Each thermo-couple is embedded
in bead of porous material, one of
which beads is impregnated with plati-
mum black so that in the presence of
fire damp it will become heated above
the other, and generate thermo-elec-
trio current, which will defect the gal
vanometer. In order to make the
platinum black as sensitive as posi-
BILE, each bead is heated by resist
ance coil to the required temperature.
AS both of the beads are heated alike,
there is no DETECTION Of the galvanom-
eter under normal conditions.

stitch, and the stem, bow of ribbon
and leaves with ordinary embroidery
stitches. The satin sash can be bought
all ready made, but without any deco
ration. They are to be had in all
shades; all that has to be done in this
case is to simply iron a transfer on
the ends of the ribbon and embroider
them.
If the worker prefers the sash can
be made up at home; in that case it is
better to work the ends before max
ing up the sash. The roses may be
cream, pink, white or red in color;
this will, of course, depend upon the
gown that the sash is to adorn. They
are worked as follows:
Begin in the center of the rose;
make few satin stitches, then make
several back stitches; let the stitches
be of unequal length and put them
closely together to get the effect of
folded-over petals. Now work this
center with a row of larger stitches;
these can be in lighter shade of the
color used for the roses. An outer
row is added; these loops or stitches
should be made little tighter than
the others, as they serve to draw the
rose together, as it were.
Let the center of the rose be the
deepest in tint and the outside the
palest.
The bow of ribbon is simply worked
with satin stitch; the bow may be of
any color to tone with the general
color scheme or it may be worked
with the same shade of green as the
stalks and leaves. The stalk can be
worked with crewel stitch, and the
leaves in satin stitch. The sprays
are easily and quickly worked aud are
we'll worth while the doing; it is
much more economical to do this en-
broidery at home, for even if the
gown has to be sent out to be made
the cost of hand embroidery has been
saved. The necessary silks for the
work can be bought at most fancy
shops and there also the transfers are
to be had.

kind.

In man the chin seems to project
more and more as he progresses to-
ward his modern civilized condition.
This must imply that, Immediately
the huge lower CANNES degenerated,
the part took on some other function
of vital Importance to the race, and
that the need has increased with his
intellectual and social advancement.
My theory, then, is that the chin is
essentially part of the mechanism
of articulate speech.
1t is tempting to theOrize little
further and to suggest that the hui
man chin perhaps bears testimony to
prehistoric change from carnal
weapons to others, which, if not ex-
actly spiritual, were such as appealed
to the part of us where spiritual forces
work, for apparently long ago, before
the pen proved mightier than the
sword, the tongue proved mightier
than the teeth.
If one could only prove this one
might show that even before the Gla-
cial epoch, parliamentary institutions
(using the term in it's widest sense)
began to take the place of lethal weap-
ons in settling disagreements, and
that the substitution of arbitration for
war is not merely doctrine of later
day moralists, but is part of the or
dered march of cosmic progress, as in
evitable as the other evolutionary
changes which have brought us up
from among the brutes.-North Ameri-
