The Value of the Experiment.

The Value of the Experiment.

In commenting on my examination
after coming from the woods Dr. Sar-

According to the system employed
at Harvard. he tested $40 points before
going into the woods and 954 on COM

His test was $50 points better than
the hardest test taken by the football
men.
"He surpassed every test he took be
fore starting on the trip.
His total strength test was 974
points. A university crew test is 700.
with his legs alone he lifted more
than 1000 pounds.

the capacity Of his lungs increased
forty-five cubic inches, a remarkable
increase.

Forced to eat roots and bark at times
and to get whatever he could eat at

"Mr. Knowles has lost eleven pounds
in weight; his height has increased
One-tenth of an inch; his chest has
gained nearly one-half inch; his waist
line has decreased two inches. Some
little weight has left his hips and
thighs. His calves have enlarged, due,
of course, to his long tramps in the

~gnt thing to do
If boy can relieve his parents of
responsibility it is again a noble thing
to do. But the world is full of what
call hangers on" They live like the
bank beaver in the wOOds-on what
others do for them. They have so much
done for them that they do not know
how to do things for themselves, and
they become valueless. 1 believe ev-
cry boy and = should want to do
everything t4,-sc they can for them
selves. By not leaning on the other
fellow they become masters of them
selves. Depending upon their own re-
sources, they can accomplish wonderful
things.
l do not want the reader to misunder-
stand me. l believe in helping others.
but only where it is absolutely neces-
sary.
Perhaps I can well illustrate this
point by relating a story, which is told
by one Of the biggest Salvation Army
workers in New England. One of the
biggest and kindest men of the city
met him On the street one day and
said:
Captain, every day am approach
ed on the street by unfortunate men
who ask me to help them. Sometimes
l wonder when l give them something
If they are deserving. l am blessed
with money, and | want to help these
men if they deserve to be helped, but
am constantly wondering if at times
am not encouraging begging and in
dOlence."
"Well. I'll tell you," answered the
captain, eff | were you | would change
my method. When a man approaches
you on the street and asks for some
thing to eat and Il nights lodging give
him one of your cards with the ad-
dress of the Salvation Army Peoples
palace written on the back Tell him
it is good for food and a bed at our
home If that man cOmeSeto us | will
charge his expenses for the night up to
you.
The wealthy man thought this was q
fine idea and during the next two
months gave away twenty-five of his
cards to men who approached him for
aid on the street.
In all this time he did not receive
the slightest word from the Salvation
Army authorities.
One day he called up the captain on
the telephone.
Il must owe you quite a BILL" he
said.
"Why. no. answered the captain;
you owe us just 25 cents. One man
with your card has come to us since
met you"
The rich man was amazed. 1t show
ed him that out of the twenty-five
cards he had given away only one had
been a truly worthy case. All the 9th
ers had wanted money instead of food
and a bed.
However. a boy instinctively knows
when he should help another. and
when his instinct tells him to he should
never fail in his duty. The boy also
knows that courtesy is a great factor
in the world and that he should be pP-
lite and always considerate of others.

In front Of 1916 1 street a sheet
iron cylinder has been converted into
a flower box or a flower tank. The
cylinder was one of those which may
be een by the side Of a furnace, and
its normal function ia to hold water,
hot or cold. That is probably what
this cylinder was used for before its
dedication to Flora. The name of the
foundry or the maker may be seer on

The tank was cut away on one side

side up supported by a truss made OF

in It now. This very prosaic piece OF

IGNORANCE OF MINING

Mining men eff the West fire.
quently complain uf ignorance that
is often manifested in the east con-
corning the nature of the mining
industry. There should after all
be no surprise aroused by such
evidence of misunderstanding. Has
not the West been pictured to the
East in novel and magazine story
as avid and woody" country,
where cowboys are permitted to
run at large and where gold mines
are found by the heroes of fiction
just to show the readers how easy
it is to pull a hero ont Of trouble?
The West is usually pictured in the
magazine story as it ought to be IN
the imagination of the writer not
as it is.
j. Parker Charming recently ex-
pressed the matter very neatly
when he said that present day
misconceptions were probably q
relic Of fortv or fifty years ago,
when mining was not an industry,
but was an adventure" Many

SUPREME COURT RULES
AGAINST 1ECHNICALnIES

The United States Supreme
court set a good example for lower
tribunals when it ruled recently
that t~echnicalities are not to be
considered in administration of the
white slave law.
A man and woman were charged
by the government with having
caused the transportation Of two
women from Milwaukee to Evans
ton, ILL.,. for immoral purposes
Their only defense was a technical
one. The accused demurred to the
complaint because the women were
transported on an electric line that
is not subject to the jurisdiction of
the interstate commerce commits
sion. Therefore the defendants set
up>the claim that there was no
Interstate transportation"
The highest court in the land
rules that such technicalities have
no bearing on the justice of the
case and upheld the charge against
the defendants.
Many men guilty of the foulest
murders have gone free through
technicalities trivial compared tn
this me-.
The supreme court has set a
good example for trial judges in
ignoring immaterial defenses, says
the Salt Lake Telegram.
We believe the time is coming
when sentiment will force the use
Of common sense in administration
of the law and there will be no
such thing as the release of a
murderer because the pros cutor,
in drawing up the complaint, failed
to add that the gun with which he
did the killing was a deadly weap-
on. This very thing has happened.

Homo Of the Glove.

About two-thirds of all the cloves
come from a little island named
Pemha that lies about FIVE degrees
south Of the equator, just within sight
Of the mainland Of Africa, between
Mombasa and Zanzibar. The island
OF Pemba Is only 80 miles long and
ten wide. 1t Is a low, junglecovered,
fever-haunted spot, surrounded by
coral reefs and inhabited by indolent,
unintelligent and improvident natives
and a small handful Of Europeans.
The Glove tree is s~ingularly deli
cate and must have a combination Of
climatic conditions that exist In a few
places on earth. Where 1t will grow
at all it will grow wild and In pro-
fusion.
Capt. ]. d. q. Craster of the Brit
ish Royal Engineers has just publish
ed an account Of a survey he made Of
the island. He estimates the average
yield Of a tree to be 35 pounds of
cloves, and says that with a little at.

Aasily be doubled.
