tant Discoveries.

Several American battleships and
submarines are now equipped with r.
A. Fessenden's submarine wireless
apparatus. This sends messages more
than thirty miles under water, and
the inventor expects that with expert
ence it will be possible SO to improve
the apparatus as to make it send and
receive for several hundreds of miles.
The apparatus starts metal~plate
vibrating so rapidly that it sends
waves of sound through the water.
Sound travels through water four
times as rapidly as through air.

The Deaf and Dumb Spy,

AS the British forces under. General
Kitchener neared Khartum, a dervish
spy was discovered in camp and taken
to headquarters for examination. But
neither brides nor threats could elicit
one word from the prisoner; he az
fected to be both deaf and dumb.
Scarcely had be been put in tent I'M
der guard, when another spy was led
in who proved equally obdurate, so
he was put with the first one.
Half an hour later, when the camp
was settling down to rest, there was a
fresh stir and hubbub and third spy
was brought in. who also would reveal
nothing. and was finally placed in the
tent with his fellows.
Soon the guards outside heard a
murmur of voices from within. The
dumb spies had found their tongues,
but it was impossible to overhear their
talk distinctly or to understand 1t. An
hour or more passed.
Then the door of the tent was
thrown open, and the third spy ap-
peared and asked to be taken to head
quarters. There he threw off his dis
guise and evealed-General Kitch-
ener! He had discovered all he want
ed to know.

SEDIMENT CARRIED TO SEA
Figures Show an Almost Incredible
Amount Transported by China's
Mighty River.

Some estimates of the discharge OF
the Yangtze-kiang river and of the
amount of sediment it carries have
recently been published by Prof. Kon-
rad Keilhack Of the Berlin School of
Mines, who visited the river in Sep
TENDER, 1913, when the stage of wa
ter was unusually high. From meas
urements of depth made at Wusung,
Marking, and Hankow, and estimates
of width and velocity, this authority
concludes that the discharge below
Hankow 1855 miles from the MOUTH,
amounts in time of food to 100000
cubic feet per second. The annual
mean is estimated at 1,750,000 cubic
feet per second. Filtration measure
ments made at the mouth, near WI
sung, taken In conjunction with the
above figures for discharge indicate
an annual transport of sediment at
the average rate of $1,000 pounds per
second, or total of 584,000,000 tons
per annum.

Cured hN a Bullet

Private Redmond of the First Colo
RADIO volunteers, once on duty at Ma
Mia, was the star sufferer of the
English army corps Nothing in the
way of treatment did him any good,
and he realized sadly that he could
never be even a noncommissioned Of
ficer, because he could not give the
simplest words of command without
suffering He was brave and eff
cient soldier, and always first In the
firing line.
At the battle of Marquis Redmond
was shot in the mouth. The Mauser
bullet passed downward and came out
at the nape of the neck.
He was taken to the hospital, where
he recovered rapidly, and all that
could be seen of the wound was lit
tie scar about his upper lip where the
bullet entered. But the remarkable
thing about the affair was when he
left the hospital he was cured of his
habit of suffering. How it happened
neither he nor the doctors can ex-
plain, but he was so joyous over the
fact that he blessed the bullet that
brought him relief.

Genuine Heroism.

The characteristic of genuine hero
ism is its persistency. All men have
wandering impulses, hts and starts of
generosity. But when you have re-
solved to be great, abide by yourself,
and do not weakly try to reconcile
yourself with the world. The heroic
cannot be the common, nor the COM
mon the heroic. If you would serve
your brother, because it is fit for you
to serve him, do not take back your
words when you find that prudent peo-
pie do not commend you. Be true
to your own act, and congratulate
yourself if you have done something
strange and extraordinary, and broken
the monotony of a decorous age. 1t

given to a young person: Always

JUST WHAT IS BAD ARR
Experts Prove That Overheated Rooms
Without Proper Ventilation Produce
Serious Physiological Defects.

Air Is bad when it is overheated,
when 1t contains an excess OF mois-
ture, and when 1t Is chemically con-
taminated. This Is the conclusion of
the New York state commission on
ventilation as summarized by Frof. c.
E. A. Wislow, chairman.
The first indictment against bad
air shows that an increase in tempera-
ture beyond the normal seventy de-
grees produces serious arrangement
of the vaso-motor mechanism Of the
body, resulting in rise of tempera-
ture, increased pulse, and lowered
blood pressure, with a corresponding
decrease in efficiency, both physical
and mental. In addition to this, over
heating conduces to an undesirable
congestion of the mucous membranes
of the nose, thus possibly paving the
way for colds, sore threats, and at
tacks Of various germ diseases.
The work of the commission also
proves that chemical accumulations
In the air as result Of stagnation
bring about a decreased appetite for
food, which in turn must have an un-
favorable effect on the entire body.
In the commissions experiments, the
people living in fresh air ate Az to
13 per cent more than those living
in stagnant air.
These experiments" says Profess
sor Winslow, indicate that fresh air
is needed at all times and in all places.
While we have changed our ideas as
to what causes bad air, ventilation is
just as essential to remove heat pro-
duced by human bodies as 1t was once
thought to be to remove the carbon
dioxide produced by human lungs, and
it is now proved also to be essential
for carrying away chemical products
which exert measurable effect upon
the appetite for food. People who
live and work in overheated and I'M
ventilated rooms are reducing their
vitality and rendering themselves an
easy prey to all sorts Of diseases,
such as tuberculosis, pneumonia,
grippe, etc"

Head Bookkeeper Must Be Reliable.

The chief bookkeeper In q large
business house in one Of our great
Western cities speaks of the harm
coffee and tea did for him:
my wife and l drank our first cup
of Postum a little over two years

to the entire exclusion of tea and
coffee. 1t happened in this way:
Il had an attack Of pneumonia,
which left me with dyspepsia, or neu-
ralgia of the stomach. My cup Of
cheer had always been coffee or tea.
but l became convinced, after a time,
that they aggravated my stomach
trouble. / happened to mention the
matter to my grocer one day and he
suggested that l give Postum a trial.
Next day it came, and we liked it
so much that we will never change
back; for | am a we'll man today and
have used no medicine.
My work as chief bookkeeper in
our Cos branch house here is of a
very combining nature. During my cot
