A lock that can be locked from one

or doctors consulting rooms. In which
the certainty of absolute privacy is
desired without the use Of a key.
The bar on which the handles are
turned turns q bar that presses
against the two arms Of the bolt,
thereby drawing this back with the
tongue which fastens the door. A
tumbler falls into place when the han.
die on the inside of the door is turned.
When 1t has fallen the door Is locked
SO far as the outside handle is con.

move the tumbler and this ia In such
position that the bolt cannot move

When Glass Auheres.

II sheets of plate glass be piled up
horizontally to a considerable height
without the precaution Of separating
them by sheets of paper, the glass in
certain places adheres as tightly as II
1t were cemented, so that it is neces-
sary to remove it bit by bit. This is
due solely to cohesion, which is the
property Of bodies to adhere as soon
as their molecules are in contact. 1t Is
almost impossible to make surfaces so
smooth and to exert pressure so great
that the molecules of the two surfaces
will actually be in intimate contact,
but in certain machines this does oc-
casionally take place with both steel
and lead, effecting sort Of welding SO
perfect that even the microscope can
not detect the place Of union.

BIG WILDERNESS OF CANADA
; Nobody Thinks Of Going into Region
: Northeast Of Lake st. John
.. Approach by Big Peribonka.

, The region northeast of Lake st.
John is of at one side where nobody
+, thinks of going except a few trappers.
The mining and timber have not
seemed rich enough to draw the white
man.
! The main avenue of approach is the
! Big Peribonka, the largest of the Lake
st. John rivers. The real wilderness
begins in the neighborhood Of Lake
;Tchotogoma, 60 miles up the river.
4 Beyond that stretches a vast region,
sas fresh and wild, as natural and
primitive as anything discovered by
Columbus and with fewer human ten.

; course the Big Peribonka comes down
!defiles of ragged rock and making
necessary ten or more portages, sew

estyle of architecture. OF late years
/ rude wagon road has been extended
, through the burnt-over country be.
tween the village of Mistook, near
/, Lake ST. John and the Shute Mcleod,
the last but one OF these Peribonka
falls. The necessity of climbing up
a steep river has thus been largely
eliminated. Lake Tchotogoma may
,be reached from the other direction
where the means of access have also
l:been improved; and one coming up
from Quebec by the Saguenay boat
should go in from that quarter and
come out by the new route down the
Peribonka.
The outfit is carried from Chi
countimi, at the head Of steamboat
navigation, up to the foot Of rough
water in the river, distance of seven
miles. Then comes a wagon journey

INDIANS IN UNITED STATES
How the Red Man Is Turning Defeat
Into misunderstanding Attend
ance Shown at Schools.

No longer can 1t be said that the
only good Indian is q dead Indian.
That statement, born Of ignorance Of
the real character of the Indian, Is
now definitely eliminated from the list
Of epigrams by q report Of the census
bureau on the present Indian popula-
ton in the United States.
While the report shows q much low.
er rate Of growth for the Indian popu-
lation than for the white, an increas-
ing mixture of white blood, and de-
creasing vitality of full-blood Indians,
indicating a tendency to disappear al
together, 1t also shows increasing at
tendance at school and decreasing H.
literacy, an increase in the percent
age of the self-supporting and a de-
crease in the number of reservation
Indians.
While the report shows that there
were 265,683 Indians in the United
States, exclusive of Alaska, in 1910.
an increase of 17430, or 7 per cent
over the number reported in 1890,
there are about 100000 Indians in this
country at the present time. Among
them are to be found manufacturers,
bankers, United States officials, me-
chanical engineers, locomotive engi-
neers, telegraph operators, actors,
artists, clergymen, college professors,
physicians, surgeons and lawyers. The
Indian has turned defeat into triumph.
He has played the game according to
the rules laid down by civilization
and has won.

old Irisman cried: I'D rather be poi

HIRE WOMEN AS CONDUCTORS
Between $500 and 5000 Now En-
ployed on Trolley Cara Of Berlin
Take Place Of Soldiers,

The art Of conducting" a street car
through the crowded thoroughfares OF
Berlin Is being taught to women in FIVE
schools for conductresses," which
graduate each week total Of between
300 and 400 female conductors to take
the place of men gone to the war.
Not since the earliest days Of the
electric car in Berlin have candidates
for the positions on the back platform
proved so apt as the women, who onca
were considered unfit for such mascu-
line work. Between $500 and 5000
women are now employed as conduo-
tors, and incidentally everyone who
has applied passed the preliminary ex-
animation. A large percentage, how
ever, have been unable to stand the
strain and have had to seek other
work.
The women are given a theoretical
course Of three days, eight hours .
day, in one of the five schools, and
then, for their practical training, are
accompanied on genuine trips by ex-
perienced conductors, learn the names
of streets and have a chance to put
their theoretical training into use.

WHEN YOU HANG A HAMMOCK

A delicate point in the hanging Of q

into the slot machine to get weighed

To get the height right involves the
solution of the formula of the eaten
