Berlin admits the retirement Of

For several weeks British and

Wonders of Naval GunnerY.

The fire Of a naval gun is directed
from the fire control station, a small
box on the masts. Here is. the range
finder, large telescope pointed at
right angles to its object. This tele-
scope consists of a series of mirrors of
various sizes and curves, which catch
the ships all around and fix them be-
fore the eyes of the officer, who can set
his lenses so that he can gauge the cor
rect angle by small calculation and
can reckon almost the exact space sep
arating him from his opponent. The
information is telephoned to the gun
ner, who directs the telescope sight at
tacbed to his gun on the desired object
This sight magnifies the size of the OPP
ponent and brings its characteristics
close to the eye In the meantime the
expert officers in the fire control watch
the fall of the shot. Should it miss
delicate instruments tell how far the
shell was off the target. The correc-
ton is made, and the second shot, if
not on the spot, comes unpleasantly
near.-Pearson's

and catch you II you hang behind like
that" The little fellow gives a scared
glance over his shoulder before he
hastens on, frantieally pulling at her
hand.
Two little girls were playing in the
park the other day. In the game one
slipped and fell, covering her dininu-
tive skirt with green grass stains.
Nov, whatever shall do with you,
Agatha!' cried the nurse. "The police
man will get you and no mistake. They
always look out for dirty little girls!'
SO wee Agathas play was spoiled by
the fear of another tumble and the
dread consequences that would surely
ensue.
Many nurses are not ignorant,
thoughtless women, but there are a
few who by these means do irreparable
harm to sensitive and timid children.
Nor are nurses by any means the only
offenders. Mothers have been known to
tri6e with the nerves of their children
that delicate mechanism governing
both the body and the mind
While children may beg for exciting
stories and display a tremendous inter-
est in the war, it is far from wise to
tell them too much and to excite their
imagination by descriptions of CORY en-
counters. 1t is natural for little boys
who want to hear the details of the
conflict from their fathers to beg daddy
for "a story of the war;" for a certain
love of the military is ingrained into
the masculine character from the mo-
ment the little lad begins to play with
tin soldiers. However, if one cares to
preserve the tiny fellows nerves the
story telling viii be restricted to deeds
of valor.

Eliiah,s Altar.

Obadiah hid zone hundred Of the
Lords prophets in cave" On the
west end Of Carmel, below the monas-
terry, is large cavern, partly artificial,
where, to increase its sanctity, the holy
family are said to have reposed on
their return from Egypt. The place
Of Sacrifice" is some eight miles in,
land along the crest of the mountain,
overlooking the Kishon, the whole
plain of Esdraelon, JeZreel and the
mountains Of Galilee. Many churches
and nationalities, not to mention in
diyiduals, have searched the slopes of
Carmel for the exact spot where Elijah
repaired the altar of the Lord" Sc
lecting twelve stones from the ruins
of the neglected altar. At the urgent
request of an English lady who
thought of purchasing the site 1 once
made a careful study of the location
suggested. While we may never know
the exact spot, there is a lovely little
plateau not far from the summit which
would fulfill every necessity of the mar
rative and provide a matchless natural
theater for this matchless event in his.

A Clear skin.

Good health is the only lasting pre-
scription for good skin. Cosmetics
and lotions will do no good if the real
trouble is lack of exercise or indiscre-
ton in eating. Indigestion is the cause
of many pimply skins and sluggish
dispositions Your stomach and its
health will reflect on your beauty.
Many girls lunch daily on a dish of
ice cream or some candy. A sallow,
muddy complexion is the inevitable
result. You should make every meal
as substantial as possible, and do not
eat between meals.
Women who form the habit of get
ting up late, then rushing off without
any breakfast or none to speak of will
soon show the results OF, this in their
faces The midday meal need not be
heavy; a salad, patty, a light des~
sert and a glass OF milk are enough

| effects Of |
Fear
On Children |

Most of us are familiar with stories
OF the DOGGY nurse Of long ago, but few
realize that her type survives even in
these enlightened days. 1t seems prob
able that from very earliest times
there have been people whose only
idea of ruling children was to employ
a discipline Of fear.
One hundred years ago Napoleon was
the favorite DOGGY, especially among
English speaking people, and terrifying
were the tales which nurses and prob.
ably many foolish parents invented OF
the horrors he perpeHated on small,
children who cried in the night, soiled
their Sunday frocks, or were guilty of
any of the hundred and one small
naughtinesses children unthinkingly
commit
4 word that 'Boney is coming would
send many small girls and boys COVER
ing beneath the bedclothes, there to
spend hours of shiyering terror, while
tile real DOGGY who had so scared.them
employed the time cheerily gossiping
in the servants room.
But that was all very long ago. Now
adays we study hygiene, eugenics and
what not and take the bringing up of
our children very seriously. There Is
one fact, however, we often overlook.
A 1915 incarnation Of the bogy nurse
is still among u.s. Today for weapons
OF terror she uses the policeman Now,
this is very wrong, for the child who
lives in the city should be taught that
the policeman on the corner, in the
park or anywhere one finds his brass
buttons and gold braid is a person to be
welcomed as a friend and protector OF
the kiddies, not an enemy or a bogy to
be feared. If this idea of the law is I'M
stilled into the youngsters head he will
not forget it should he become lost
from his mother or nurse. Instead of
wandering along the streets or park
helpless and bewildered ne win run
confidently to the nearest policeman,
explain his troubles as best he can and
stay content with the big man deco
rated with many brass buttons until
aid arrives.
The child who is taught to fear the
policeman, OH the other hand, shuns
him in time Of trouble, with effects
which are sometimes disastrous both
to the little fellow and his parents.

Anoients and the Aurora RoreaIis.

Many people believe that the aurora
borealis is a phenomenon peculiar to
modern times. But this is not true.
The ancients used to call it chasmata,
bolides and trades, names which ex-
pressed the different colors of the
lights. The scarlet aurora was looked
on by the superstitious barbarians as
an omen of direful slaughter, SO it is
not unusual for descriptions Of bloody
battles to contain illusions to northern
lights. In the annals of Cloon-mac-
noise it is recorded that in 688 A. D.,
accompanying a terrible battle be-
tween Leinster and Munster, Ireland,
a purple aurora lit the northern skies,
foretelling the slaughter.
