Hard Labor,

A definition Of hard labor appears

lizard labor in itself is not Infamous

ennobling and is the foundation upon
which reposes all true progress in men

1877 from Russian petroleum. Later
the Nobel brothers did the same thing
in their laboratory. In 1904 V. Oglo.
bin described the preparation of ben.
zene, toluene, xylene, etc. in consid-
cradle Quantities, from the Russian
crude oil.
1t should, perhaps, be noted that the
Russian crude oil differs somewhat
from that of Pennsylvania, being rich
in hydrocarbons of the naphthene Sc
ries, instead of those belonging to the
parafiine group.
Plainly none of these early inven
tons was Of commercial Importance
for the bulk of the supply of benzol
and toluol still comes from coal tar
The value of Doctor Rittman's proc
ess depends almost solely upon it's
cheapness.

Owing to the discovery of a new
process OF destroying bacteria without
injury to bank notes, this medium of
infection is to be eliminated in Can
ada. When the Canadian bank act
was under consideration last year a
clause was added to the effect that
banks must sterilize paper currency
before reissuing 1t. Experiments have
revealed that there is an average Of
10000 living bacteria on each note.
Sterilization by a chemical was tried,
but while this was successful, injur-
ious and unpleasant effects from the
gas remained. A heat test was then
tried, and was completely successful,
notes being subjected to a tempera-
ture of 176 degrees Fahrenheit. II
was found that many dangerous bac-
terra were destroyed by the heat test.

finance department has arranged that
banks, where there is no assistant re-

denomination up to IS to the nearest
receiver general. and obtain in return
an equal amount of new Dominion
notes.

Small Leaks.

A writer in the Scientific American
has figured what we lose by leaking
faucet. If a faucet leaks to the ex-
tent of two drops of water a second
the leakage would amount in month
to little over eighty-four gallons. If
the water rate is twenty-five cents a
thousand gallons, the money loss
would be about two cents a month If
the leak is from a hot water faucet,
the loss would of course be larger, for
fuel has been wasted in heating the
escaped water. If coal costs IS ton,
the loss in water and heat will be
nearly ten cents a month. THE fact
that the loss is small" says the Scien-
tific American, should not allow us to
neglect small leaks, because by disre-
garding them we tend to become SLOW
emily in all things. Furthermore, small
leaks do not stay small The constant
leakage of faucets wears small pas
sages through the seats, and makes
tightness impossible. The next thing
is a new faucet with the accompany
ing plumbers bill, which is notorious
ly not small."-Youth's Companion

Sea of Marmora.
The Sea of Marmora, which is the
connecting link between the Darda-
nelles and the Bosporus, is a quiet
sheet of water. Nature has been more
than generous in her provisions for
guarding this sea between Asia and
Europe against hostile power. The
Bosporus, its approach from the Black
sea on the north, is a deep, water
filled, twisting valley, whose surface
almost all the way is at the mercy of
the enclosing mountain heights In
the south, the Dardanelles, while of
greater breadth than the Bosporus,
forms an easily defended channel, AZ
miles long and commanded by its
shore heights.
Marmora sea is a wonderful amphi.
theater for a modern naval struggle.
An elliptical bowl of bluest water, it is
enclosed by hilly shore line, which
is bold and steep upon the Asiatic
side. From east to west, the sea is
175 miles long, while it's extreme width
is about fifty miles. 1t has an area OF
$500 square miles.
Constantinople lies tucked away
near the northernmost point of Mar
mora, at the opening of the Bosporus
outlet. In the west and south are
several considerable islands, of which
the largest, Marmora, has been ia
nous for it's alabaster and marbles
since the days of Grecian sculptural
and architectural glory.
The Sea of Marmora is one of the
most famous and important seas OF
passage in the world. Behind its wa
ters, along the northern shore of the
Black sea, are the most fertile and
favored provinces of the Russian EN-
pire, Russia's granary; while on the
eastern Black sea coast lies Russia's
greatest oil port and her famous oil
bearing hinterland This sea is the
most important avenue of Contra
Asias raw materials western transpor
and of the Vests manufactures fol
consumption in the central East.

ToWsER.


Towser was an old dog. He had
been on the farm for many years, and
Farmer Mason thought he was too
old to be a watchdog any longer.
So he brought a new dog home one
day and put him in Towser's house.
Poor Towser did not understand it.
He slept in the kitchen and the new
dog had his house in the yard and
ate out of his dish.
Hello, Towser," said Pussy the
next morning How do you like sleep
ing in the house,"
1T was nice and warm said Tow
ser, trying not to show his feelings.

the door.
Towser did not go around where the
doghouse was for several days.

wife one morning, "he really seems to
feel hurt at being put out of his house.

One day Towser was passing
through the yard, and the new dog
growled. Towser did not notice him
ut first, but when he kept it up Tow
ser walked toward him, growing and
showing his teeth, and by the time he
reached him the new dog turned and
went into the house.
He is a coward" said the old roost

to my right, saw the fur fly, and we
all heard the snarl as the bullet hit
Naturally we expected an instant
charge, but, as things turned out, it
was evident the lion had not seen us
at all. He had leaped at the sight OF
our men and horses on the skyline,
and when the bullet hit him he must
have ascribed 1t to them. At any rate.
he began to circle through the tangled
vines In their direction.
From their elevation they could fol-
low his movements. At once they set
up bowls of terror and appeals for
help. Some began frantically 10 run
back and forth. None of them tried
to run away; there was nowhere to

was the thick and spiky character of
the cover. The lion, instead of charg-
ing straight and fast, was picking an
easy way.
We tore directly up hill as fast as
we were able, leaping from rock to
rock and thrusting recklessly through
the tangle. About halfway up jumped
to the top of a high, corical rock. and
thence by good luck caught sight of
the lions great yellow head advancing
steadily about so yards away.

Again luck was with me, for again

square in his chest.
This stopped his advance; he lay
down. His head was up and his eyes
glared, as he uttered the most rever-
berating and magnificent roars and
growls The dogs leaped and parked
around him.
We came quite close and l planted
my fourth bullet in his shoulder. Even
this was not enough. 1t took a fifth

The Greatest Mistake

1t is a silly sort of pride that makes
one ashamed to own up that he has
been mistaken. No one, old or young,
is always right, and If you are ready
to admit that you are sometimes mis-
taken, why should you be ashamed to
own a special mistake. The greatest
of all mistakes is to pretend that you
never made one.-Girls' Companion.
