Rulnous to Custom,

The young man who eats all round
the circuit ran against this quick
lunch incident the other day:
A fastidious person made his way
charity into the place. A tumbler of
murky water was thumped before him
by the young woman of the other side
of the counter.
What's yours?"
Coffee and rolls, my girl"
One of those iron-heavy, quarter
inch-thick mugs Of coffee was pushed
over the counter. The fastidious
person seemed dazed. He looked un-
der the mug and over 1t.
But where is the saucer?" he
queried.

Final Harvesting Of Nile.

Work has been commenced on an
other great scheme to reclaim by ir-
rigation vast tracts of desert in the
Soudan. 1t is believed it can be made
to add enormously to the cotton out
put of the British Empire. The tract
which is to be watered Is known as
the Gizra territory. 1t lies between
the Blue and White Niles, below
khartoum, and consists of 100000
acres. The force and flow of the two
rivers is sufficient to water the entire
district when properly harnessed.
The proposal is to build two dams
south Of Khartoum, one over each
OF the rivers. Thus the tract between
the streams will be irrigated, while at
the same time the force of the water
flowing into Egypt will be controlled.
At present the Blue Nile comes down
In raging flow, and the White Nile,
flowing in steadier fashion, combines
with 1t to make huge overflow. The
building of the two dams will enable
the flow to be properly regulated and
will practically mean the final har-
Messing of the Nile.

REAL SIGNIFICANCE OF THE COM

School Teacher Points Out to Hen
Class Just What 1t Means-Chan

Same Lines.

It was Miss Frevert's custom to de
vote the last few minutes of the lesson
period to an informal discussion of
anything that the girls themselves
might suggest. One Sunday Elizabeth
French had a perfectly new idea.
Lets have a composite photograph,
girls" she said, according to the
Youths Companion. when l visited
my cousin l went with her and few
other girls, and we had one taken. It's
very interesting"
The girls agreed at once, and next
week they sat for their pictures. When
the composite photograph was made,
Miss Frevert took it to the class with
her. The girls exclaimed with delight
and surprise when she showed 1t to
them. Then, as they studied it, q
curious silence fell upon them.
why" said Elizabeth, slowly, 'it's
more beautiful, more spiritual, than
any of us!"
'It looks like some pictures Of
Mary, the mother of Jesus!" cried Bet
ty Ripley. Then she flushed. 81 don't
mean to be irreverent," she STAN
mered.
Miss Frevert placed a reassuring
hand over Betty's. you were not"
she said. Il am glad you have discov-
cred for yourselves the fact that this
composite picture Is more ideal than
any single face that has gone into the
making of it. To me there is some
thing very significant in that. You
know that it is through agreements
alone that you can make a composite
picture. Every feature that does not
agree with other features leaves SO
slight an impression on the plate that
1t cannot be seen. But every feature
that is common to many faces will be
clear and positive. Do you see what
that means"
There was moments silence, and
then Louise Barton said: at means
that there is something fine in each
one of us, no matter how mean and
selfish we are"
Wouldn't it be awful" unused Betty
Ripley, ito think that there wasn't a
single one of your features In that

But wouldn't it be f1ne," said Miss
Frevert, ITO combine In your face all
the finest lines, and in your character
all the finest traits that are to be
found in humanity?"
But nobody could do that!" ex-
claimed several.
Il once heard a very eminent man
speak of Frances Willard as the com

the secret Of her matchless power, he
said"
Just suppose" said Betty Ripley,
that every one in the United States
could be got into one composite pic
ture. Which one of US would it be
most like, l wonder?"

Louise, laughing. But If we should

two, l wonder whether or not 1t would

New Idea In MOVING Pictures.

Powerful arc lights combined with
newly designed moving picture APP
paratus are used at the Scala theater
IN London to produce some wonderful
enects, for the persons are seen in
life size moving about without the
use of any visible screen, so that they
appear to act upon a real theater
scene which is lighted as is custom
airy In such cases. This remarkable
result is, brought about by optical
combinations which have as yet not
been made public. The illusion Is
heightened by electric devices Of an
improved kind for working a phono
graph together with the moving pic
ture machine 80 that 1t always keeps
In step, and the words or music are
reproduced at exactly the same time
as the gestures. 1t is said that the
new apparatus does this with great
perfection.

It was early in July when we camped

stretched the dark moraine, and then
the snow-capped peaks of the Hima-

but seldom disturbed by the crack of
the hunters rifle. During the day OF
our arrival In this picturesque spot we
had seen burhel high up on the slopes
within mile of camp, which augured
good prospects for the morrow. We
started the next morning before dawn,
heading up the ravine and on to the
ridge, which we followed in the hope
of getting above the burhel and work

open patch. bare and alarmingly pre-
cipitous, which descended In a single
sweep full 1000 feet to the river bed
below. The binoculars showed one of
the heads to be particularly fine. with
that graceful backward and outward
sweep characteristic Of the burhel.
Once out on the slope on which the
herd was feeding we became more or
less exposed, while the rattle of loose
shale might easily cause the quarry to
seek safety in precipitate flight. BY
crawling along and taking advantage
of slight folds in the terrain we finally
reached point from which any furth-
er advance was out of the question.
for, by just rising above lying pos
ture one could see the burhel some
200 yards of. Evidently something
had alarmed them, for they stood In q
bunch gazing intently in our direction.

4 WAY up in the northeast of
India lies the British district
A of Carnival, a land of lofty
~ peaks, great glaciers and rug
ged ravines, the habitat of the
burhel, or blue sheep, and red bear.
The dominant note of this province is
the Himalaya range, or Abode of
Snow" as the natives picturesquely
term 1t, that stupendous natural bar
rier between Tibet and Hindustan.
Carnival contains within Its limits
some 20 peaks exceeding height OF
10000 feet, including Nanda Dew (25,-
$50 feet). Trisul (23,409 feet, and
many others of almost equal magDi-
tude. Apart from the people who In
habit these mountain Businesses, the
chief object OF interest attaching to
the region in question is the shikar
there found, of which the burhel (Ovis
nahura) and the red bear (Ursus isa-
bellinus) are the most prominent,
writes P. T. Etherton In County Life.
Connecting Link.
The burhel, or blue sheep, may be
considered as link between the sheep
and the goat, inasmuch as it possesses
the type Of horn peculiar to the sheep,
while Its habitat is ground favored
by the goat family, more particularly
dangerous precipices and the rock
bound corrles which form SO promi
nent feature Of the higher ground in
the Himalaya. The burhel is re-
markable for its climbing abilities, and
IN this respect 1t probably has no equal
In the world, being able to negotiate
ground on which no living thing could
apparently maintain a footing. In color
1t Is blush grey on the upper portions
of the body, with white below, the hair
being brittle and closely set, which
enables the animal to withstand the
r1gors of the Himalayan climate The
burhel is seldom found below an alti-
tude Of $4,000 feet, and more frequent
ly at elevations of 1900 feet and over.
The herds vary In number from 15 or
20 to upwards of 80, and they prefer
broken ground in the vicinity of high
and inaccessible rocks to which they
can betake themselves on the ap-
proach of danger. The burhel Is one
of the hardest animals to locate on the
mountain side, as its color assimilates

SO singing out the big head the rife
was quietly pushed forward, and shot
behind the shoulder sent him rolling
and humping down the slope, while the
rest of the herd betook themselves off
in headlong flight. Far down the
mountain side we found the fallen
monarch, some rocks and boulders
! having arrested his descent. The tape
gave the horns at % inches-a really

Altitude of 17,4o0 Feet.

one of the passes connecting India
with Tibet, at an altitude Of 17,400
feet. Wild sheep of the Owls ammon
variety are said to be found In one or
two nullahs near the Niti, and though,
as far as one can ascertain, their
identity still lacks determination,
they are probably some herds which
have come over from the Tibetan side
Of the Himalayas.
The red bear (Ursus isabellinus) Is
found In the valleys and along the
higher ground of the Himalaya and
the ranges continuous thereto. Its
habits approximate to those of the
black bear, with the exception that 1t
is met with only at high attitudes.
The fur is of reddish color, and In
the autumn. when the bears are in
good condition, the skins form fine
trophies. All the bear tribe possess
wonderful powers of scent and are
able to detect the presence of danger
at considerable distances.
A bear, when brought to bay. is an
extremely dangerous antagonist, Its
size and formidable claws rendering
tussle with it often life and death

Fan Ventilation.

Though an electric fan brings re-
freshing GOODNESS in hot places, 1t
does not ventilate a closed room. and
Langlais and Satory, French expert
mentors. have found that the ordinary
fan tends to lessen the airs purity in
stead of increasing it, the stirring up
of dust being probably responsible
for large addition to the bacteria.
During dancing in a ballroom the
number of bacteria per cubic yard Of
the air rose from 1000 to 10000. For
ventilation an ozone generator may
be used with the fan, or an exhaust
fan may be placed in hole in the
outer wall SO as to pump out the viii
ated air, when, Of course, fresh air
will take its place.
