''see to it that my messenger takes a
letter from you to the house of Senior

Qbispo waved his hand in dismissal
and Kynaston was escorted back to
the little adobe house where paper and
pens were brought him. For few
moments Kynaston sat, tapping his
teeth with his penholder, thinking
over the situation, revolving in his
mind what he wanted to tell Upton
and how he should tell it. For he had
a message to send Upton that would
never get by his censors if they should
understand it; and his censors, more
over, would be everyone in camp who
could read.
He finally concluded not to attempt
to tell Upton of the intended attack
by Villa, but to confine his efforts to
intimating how an escape from the
house might be made with the ma

The reason farmers have not given
as full consideration to the woodlot
as it deserves is that they have not
had complete enough knowledge of the
market possibilities of various wood
lot products and of the rate of growth
and possible yields per acre of prop

cies and ages, or that they have consid-
cred only the present need and have
not looked ahead. Special attention
is now being given by the forest serv-
ice to these questions and to the ques-
tion of improved methods of market
ing. Information about the uses of
various kinds of wood and the markets
for them has been compiled for num-
Der of states. In some cases this in
formation has been published by the
State Foresters in Wood-Using In

Marketing Woodlot Products. A new
bulletin prepared by the forest serv-
Ice (Farmers' Bulletin No. 715, Meas

measurement of timber, the forms in
which woodlot products are sold, the

An amusing entertainment fo1 the

this game the table is set and the
guests are asked to sit down to it.,
though not sign of anything to eat

the end of cord in the hand of each
guest, who is told to go and hunt for
his supper. The cord is wound up
until the other end is reached, when
dish of something edible is revealed,
or it may be card telling what they
can have. 1t may be fruit, sand
wiches cake, candy or what not.
All the dishes are brought to the

New Scientific Achievement.

The production Of resistances for
electric heating Is new application
of the Schoops metal-squirting pistol.
1t is the resistance of metal conduc-
tors to the passage of the current that
produces electric heat, and common
form of resistance is fine spiral wire
Of copper, nickel and manganese on a
heat-resisting base. In the Prometheus
resistance, very thin films of the noble
metals are deposited on mica by a
special process. The squirting pistol
uses any kind of metal and projects
the finely divided particles with such
velocity that they form a coherent
coating on the body they strike. At
works In Zurich resistances are made
with thick or thin films of metal on
a foundation OF earthenware, clay or
slate. The metal may be projected in
Zigzag upon this base, but the plan
seems to be preferred of covering the
entire surface and then fusing away
by electric current a certain portion
of the coating. The zigZag conductor
forms very efficient resistance. For
ordinary heating, such alloys as con
stantan, German silver and a combina-
ton OF chromium and nickel are suit
able, and for the temperatures re-
Quired in the laboratory, platinum or
iridium may be used.

The End of Ramazan.

On the outskirts of Sidi-bel-Abbes
half a dozen Arabs stood and waited
patiently. They had stood on the same
spot since the hour of sunset, watch
ing the pale emerald change to deep
est sapphire, and had neither moved
nor spoken to one another. In their
spotless burnooses they had looked like
statues placed there as sentinels over
the gayly lighted, bustling town behind
them. Now, as slowly, gracefully, the
thin circle of the new moon rose above
the distant line of palms, the foremost
Arab bowed himself to the ground.

From the distance came the dull reg
ular thud of horses hoofs. A moment
later a spahi, mounted on a foam

reeled in its gallop, burst through their
midst and swept on toward the gates
of the Notifications. AS he passed he
dragged himself up in his saddle and
whirled his fiint-lock in a semicircle
about his head.
