Of the latest venture of Rev. Joseph

to see his Catholic Esquimoes going
to the Protestant orphanage, and as
he puts it:
'Well, started one. put it under

the Arctic proper and the Mackenzie
river, so l changed Council for Riana,
explaining why.

get along as we'll as can by reducing
my needs to- very little. The main
thing is to hold out at any cost until

good enough to be used as milestones
They stick to the spot and that's about
all-enough to get for them a back

Whatever Father Bernard may think
about his uselessness is one thing
What those who know think about his
usefulness Is quite another. The off

Secretary Daniels's order prohibit

rise to the question regarding the or

Vice-Admiral Vernon, of the Brit

Washipgtons home was named, is

'grog'' originated. His purpose was

to improve the personnel. to remedy
existing conditions and promote tenn

Because of the decentralization of the

use of diluted liquor was given Ac-
cording to this order a quart of water
had to be mixed with each pint of the

ration was divided. half to be given
before IL o'clock In the forenoon, and
the other half to be given late in the
| afternoon.
The men, in their resentment at the
, interference on the part of their SUI

An interesting link with oId-time
eolliery life has been broken by the
death of Mrs. Benfold. an aged
woman. which took place at Wigan
the other day
Half century ago she worked in a
coal mine at Kill Devil Brow, in Dean
Wood, few miles out of Wigan. The
Golfers employed there walked down
a steep slant to their working places
below ground.
Mrs. Benfolds work in early life
consisted of carrying the coal from
the pit up a precipitous incline to
coaling tip at the summit. where the
horsed carts came to be loaded with
the fuel She was paid at the rate of
half a crown a day.-Tit- Bits

SKIN OF SUPERMEN
WILL Be NEW KIND
Will Reflect Invisible Ultra
Violet Rays, Says Paris
Scientist.

Paris, January 10-The race of super
men which may eventually replace pres
ent day humanity on our planet, accord
ing to some prophets, will have skin
greatly different from that of the man
of today.
Professor Daniel Berthelot. the emf
nent French specialist, declares that the
skin of the human race has undergone
great changes since our primitive an
cestors He finds notably that while the
Wmtest OF modern skins reflect almost
an the colors OF the spectrum the skin
of the more primitive races absorb the
colors of higher and finer vibrations and
only reflect the stronger colors at the
spectrums lower end. For instance the
skins of the primitive negro races re-
flected practically no colors at all The
red skinned races reflected only the reds
at the lower end of the spectrum and
the so-called yellow races only as Tar
to the yellows in its center The white
skins of the races of today are able TO
reflect not only the blues but also the
violets at the top of the visible spec
trum, although the strength and clear
ness OF the reflection varies with each
lnolVldual skin. But no skin has been
FOUND so far capable of reflectine the
ultraviolet rays, which, although nres
ent in almost all light, vibrate at rate
too high to be visible by the human
eye. 1t is therefore believed that the
pas revolution of the human skin fore
shadows the existence in the distant f,
ture of an ultra white race. which in
addition to its other capacities will ha We
a skin capable of reflecting the invisible
ultraviolet rays.
