The First Red Cross,

The original Red Cross society dates
back from long before the Geneva
convention. Just 800 years ago an
anonymous German work, which APP
peared at Cassel, called upon the
learned to join and test the claims
of the Rosicrucian order. said to have
been founded two centuries before
that by one Christian Rosenkrenz,
who had gained his mysterious knowl-
edge in the East. The order was
Christian and Protestant, and al
though it professed to possess many
secrets, including that of making gold,
it's chief object was the gratuitous
healing Of the sick. A tremendous
controversy arose, the order being vio-
lently assailed as heretical and as
violently defended by the broader
minded or-more credulous. The whole
story appears to have been trium-
plant German university spool.

MAKING FERTILIZERS AT SEA
on Board Ship From Men,
baden Fish.

An American boat, the Mills of Phil
adelphia, represents perhaps the ex.
tre1nu instance Of the employment on
the ocean of electricity for industrial
purposes, says Farm and Home. The
Mills is floating oil and fertilizer fac
tory, wherein every possible process
is performed under electrical control.
The oil and fertilizer are obtained
from the menhaden fish-a fish sim
liar in appearance to the herring, but
not edible.
Powerful arc lights and search
lights are provided to enable the work
of catching and treating the fish to
60 on day and night When school
of the fish is found, nets are slung
over the side of the vessel and
hauled in by electric hoists until the
bins are full. Electrically driven
screw conveyors carry the fish into
smaller receiving tanks and automat-
ically feed them into the steam cook
.ers. In a few minutes the fish are
pulped' The cooked fish is forced
through rotary press to extract the
oil. which Is conveyed to testing
tanks. The oil is cooled and Is con-
Quoted into storage tanks Of 10000
barrels capacity. The fish scrap, or
fertilizer, from which all the oil
has been extracted, is blown by an
electric fan and dried as it is forced
by the draft into other storage bins,
where it is bagged as it arrives. 1t.

ABILITY TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS

ing Against Him.

We succeed just as often in spite OF
circumstances as we do because of
them. The latter condition, inferring
OF course, that the circumstances are
in our favor, is entirely natural and
only to be expected, and accordingly
we do not feel as though we are JUS
titled in taking to ourselves all the
credit for any success we may
achieve. When we succeed. however,
in spite of circumstances; or, in other
words, when we rise superior to con-
ditions, then it is that we show the
real fiber of our natures and deserve
all the credit that can be accorded
us. However, If man has it in him
to succeed he will do so, notwithstand.
ing unfavorable conditions. The abil-
ity to achieve success is just as much
a gift as the ability to paint, or sing,
or write, or do anything we'll that lies
especially in our power. 1t is just as
natural-for some of us to succeed as
it Is for others to fail and all condi-
tons for or against our success are
only means to an end. The man who
intends to succeed realizes that he
must rise far above many of the cir
cumstances of his life and the secret
Of doing this is part of himself and
is never readily acquired. Some of
the most distinguished men Of the
past, men who have left the deepest
impress upon history's pages. fought
and, wrought in conditions that were
far from conducive to their success;
yet because they heard the call of an
unknown voice summoning them to
effort, and because they felt the thrill
of faith in themselves which could
not be questioned they dared and won.

Pearl StrinoinQ.

Few women who own or pause to
admire a beautiful string of pearls
stop to think that it is a special pro-
fession. that of stringing pearls.
It is dainty work. even though mo-
notonous. It is responsible work and
takes trustworthy employees with deli
cate fingers to handle valuable jewels
and thread the almost invisible knots.
Some owners Of rare jewels refuse
to allow them out of their own pos
session. and in that case, the jeweler
must send a skilled hand to the house
Of the customer several times q year
to do the necessary repairing.
