malities of welcoming the ChristM
Ship, and her compliment to EngN
land. When this was over, which
lasted about two hours, a few visi-
tors were allowed aboard. I don't
think there were over fifty of these,
for, owing to war conditions, no one
was allowed in the Navy Yard unless
they had an especial permit from the
High Lord Admiral. But with all
these demonstrations and apparent
gaiety, the "damper" fell when we
went ashore and saw the gloom and
evident distress of the people. Every

about three-fourths of the men are

been told that the greater part of

haps, are without any means of sup

We, in peaceful country, cannot
realize the awful suffering and heart
aches of these poor people in war
stricken Europe. Tie Lord knows
what we will find when we get to
France, but 1 suppose we will find
conditions much the same there as
here.
While I was ashore last night, l
met with several men who seemed to
recognize me as an American, and
they would talk of the spirit of the
American people in sending the
Christmas Ship to Europe, which
they seemed to appreciate verymuch,
but in each case the conversation
would gradually drift toward the
subject of war; who was to blame
for it; and they wanted my opinion
on the subject. This being a vital
subject to discuss. especially for any
one connected with this ship, I was
forced to make them understand that
we were on a peaceful mission, and
from neutral country, and that my
sympathy was with the widows and
children Of all Europe, and under nc
consideration would l express an
opinion while on this cruise. Those
with whom l have talked seem down
hearted and speak of their chances OF
whipping Germany in a half-hearted
way, and admit that this is the hard
est fight England has ever had. As
one man had it, Germany will final

has already cost u.s." And this,

HENS IN WINTER.
They Stop Laying Eggs Because They
Acquire Too Much Fat.

They Stop Laying Eggs Because They,
Acquire Too Much Fat.
That hens stop laying as winter
progresses Is a fact known to every
farmer and chicken fancier; also. indi-
rectly. to every housewife through the
rise In the price of eggs. The reason is
explained by the Revue ScientfiQue,
which says that the egg producing or
gans degenerate through too much fat.
This condition Is the consequence of
too great abundance of food during the
winter, coupled with lack of exercise,
due to the narrow limits Of the ordi.
nary chicken run.
The fat invades the liver and piles up
In the heart; the blood becomes slug
gish and the lungs do not take up
enough oxygen to insure combustion Of
the fat
'"The obvious remedy" says the
Scientific American, 'is to give less
food to hens which stop laying" Mr..
Brochemin, In an article In LAcclima-
tation. advises that starchy foods. such
as corn. rice and barley. be limited.
while an abundance of such green food
as cabbage, boiled clover. sorret, etc.,
be given. Also the hens must be made
to take exercise by giving them large
run and by mixing their food with
straw, etc.. so that they will have TO
work for their food.

DIAMONDS IN SUGAR.

We Know They Are There, Because
Science Has Extracted Them.
Although Ut first thought the state
ment seems incredible, II Is perfectly
true that lump of sugar may be con.
verted into diamonds.
Not all the substance Of the sugar
of course will enter into the compost.
ton Of the diamond, but only the car.
bon that it contains. Sugar consists
Of carbon united with oxygen and ny.
drogen.
1t Is an easy matter to separate out
the carbon. and in certain expert.
ments for the production OF diamonds
this sugar carbon has been employed.
The diamonds so produced were of
course very small and destitute OF
commercial value. but still they were
real diamonds, and the chemical re-
suit achieved would be no greater In.
trinsically If they were as big as the
Cullinan.
Scientists have often expressed the
hope that an improvement In the proc.
ess OF manufacturing diamonds may
be effected whereby the necessity of
dissolving the carbon in molten iron
may be dispensed with. and the re-
quired combination or great pressure
with great heat may be brought about
by some such operations as squeezing
the carbon between redhOt metal
plates.-New York World.

The Biushinu Tree,

The blushing tree gets its name from
the change OF hue II assumes when
the rain falls on IL AS the drops
drench the leaves, gradually but un.
mistakably the green tint gives way to
pink. In few minutes the green
fades from sight Only In few half
hidden spots beneath broad branches
and on Its trunk is there a tinge OF
green to be seen. After an hour or
more. when the shower is over, the
tree assumes its familiar green once
more. Certain tiny insects. and not
the tree itself. change color. These
peculiar parasites are possessed OF the
power OF chameleons. In the warm
sunshine they are greener than the
tree on which they live. bit when the
chilly rain falls upon them they con.
tract their tiny backs and become a
pretty pink In tint. Millions OF these
change the entire appearance OF the
Tree and make 1t seem to be blushing.

Explodjno Ice 1ubbles.

The Intensely cold nights Of Siberia,
says writer. produce curious phe-
nomenon. Occasionally the silence is
broken by loud report resembling the
boom OF cannon. The noise Is caused
by the bursting of an ice bubble on
river The streams coming from the
hills are incased In ice six to nine
inches thick. and as the water de-
scends faster than IL escapes through
the river the result is heavy hydro
static pressure. This first causes the
Ice upon the river to rise in mounds
often six to eight feet high. For a
time they seem TO yield elastically to
the pressure. but finally can with.
stand no more and burst with an ex.
plosive report The water rushes out,
soon freezing, however. and causing
further explosions. The writer asserts
that be has seen scores OF these ice
hillocks within a few miles.

zaharin Was Clever Doctor. but He
Had Funny Ways.
DR.. Zaharin was one of the most ia.
nous as he was also the most eccen.
tric of physicians In Russia.
Even when he was summoned to at.
tend Gar Alexander Ill in his last
plness DR.. Zaharin required the same
preparation for his visit to the i'm.
perial palace as to any of his less ex.
alted patients homes-that is to say,
all dogs had to be kept out OF the
way, all clocks stopped and every door
thrown wide open.
Following a process OF gradual nm
dressing, he left his furs in the hall,
his overcoat in the next room, his
rubbers in the third and, continuing.
arrived at the bedside in ordinary in
door costume. This was only one
phase of DR.. Zaharin's golden theory
that "you should take rest before
you are tired" Accordingly be sat
down after walking every few yards
and every eight steps in going up
stairs.
From the patients relatives and ev.
cry one else in the house he required
absolute silence until he spoke to them,
when his questions had to be answer
ed by "Yes" or mo" and nothing
more. To the actual patient. how
ever. he was courtesy and considera-
tion In the highest degree.

MOISTURE AND DUST.
Why This Rain Combination In the Air
Shows a Red Sun.

Why This Rain Combination In the Air
Shows Red Sun.
An old weather proverb runs, "a red
sun has water in his eye." and the con-
1ition which gave rise to 1t Is explain
ed by Professor w. J. Humphreys of
the United States weather bureau in
a discussion OF some useful weather
proverbs.
The condition that most favors a red
sun is a great quantity of dust-espe-
cially smoke parices-in a damp at
mosphere. Smoke alone in sufficient
quantity will produce this effect, but
II is intensified by the presence of
moisture
The blue and other short wave
length colors of sunlight are both scat
tered and absorbed to greater extent
by a given amount OF dust or other
substance. such as water vapor, than
Is the red, and this effect becomes
more pronounced as the particles Goa
lesce.
Hence when the atmosphere is heav-
ily charged with dust particles that
have become moisture laden we see
the sun as fiery ball
1t has been known that this dust has
much to do with rainfall. since 1t was
proved by the physicist Aitken years
ago that cloud particles, and therefore
rain. will not under ordinary conditions
form in a perfectly dust free atmos-
phere, but will readily form about
dust notes of any kind In an atmo-
sphere that Is sufficiently damp. A red
sun, therefore, commonly indicates the
presence of both of the essential rain
elements-that is, dust and moisture

THE ART OF MUSIC.

One Must Thoroughly Understand It to
Really Enjoy It.
Berlioz says: Music is the art of
moving by systematic combination
Of sounds. the affections of intelligent,
receptive and cultivated beings"
Weber states; Music is to the arts
what love is to man. In truth, it is
love itself; the purest, loftiest language
of passion. portraying it in thousand
shades Of color and feeling"
Ruskin declares: Music is the first,
the simplest, the most effective of all
instruments of moral instruction"
Have you ever thought what a desc
late place the world would be without
music? Have you ever realized that
the entire civilized world now looks
upon music as one of the great essen
tials in the education of the cultured
man and woman?
Few persons know that the greatest
delight of music comes through the un-
derstanding of it. The highest in mu-
sic is not revealed to the student until
the student has earned the right to en-
joy it. With the right once earned the
student has wonderful power at his
command. power with which he can
carry his listeners to the height of joy
or to the depth of sadness. With mu-
sic it is possible to exercise control
over all the emotions of man.-Alfred
Edward Freckelton. Jr., in New York
Tribune.
