Unless you know your country well,

are any guides to be had, ask their
advice, and the small charge they will
make to show you some Of the best
places will be more than repaid In ex-
ira satisfaction. The most important
requirements are sufficient firewood
and good drinking water. II is not n
great task to 60 some distance for
water, but the wood must be close ut
hand. IL possible, select n location
where the morning sun will shine d.
rectly on the tent. This Is for two
purposes; to keep the camp dry, and
to get everyone up while the coffee

have the camp partially shaded after

enough trees about to break the force

danger Of a tent blowing down when

Education by the "Movies."

Though motion pictures may never
supplant the schoolmaster, they are al
ready experimenting his work, and
make 1t possible to facilitate teaching
by illustrating of n varied and effective
kind. Not least important Is the aid
that may give the practiclng doctor
and surgeon, especially In rare and diff
fcult emergencies. The perfection
reached In this new art was demon
strated In motion pictures of intricate
operations lately shown the New York
County Medical society. II was noted
that every movement Of the surgeons
could be seen more clearly than when
viewed directly in the ordinary clinic

taken from the best viewpoint. With
films from the great surgical centers Of
the world collected as u part OF the

denly confronted with a strange case

Dor safe for your own ships with the

seems another matter.
Expressed somewhat after the fash
ion of vers libre, that Is more or less
the results that are expected from an
invention demonstrated to the writer.
Lieut., Stiles NJ. Decker of the Pacific
coast artillery Is the inventor of Il de-
vice that he believes will go a long
way toward reyolutionizing our coast
defense. Patents have been applied
for and preliminary tests have shown
conclusiVcly, 1t Is said, that control Of
underwater mines may be successfully
maintained through sound waves for
firing, testing or rendering the mines
neutral. It il believed to be the first
time that the energy Of sound has been
used as a means Of controlling the nc
ton of a urC Of energy.
The fact that mines have to be
either controlled from the shore or by
means Of wires or else planted loose
so that they will explode on contact
has long been q source both Of ex-
ncnse and trouble, according to Lieu
tenant Decker. The cable to the mines,
when this Is used, is very expensive
few years. Also 1t Is not a very diff
cult matter under certain conditions
for 1t to be destroyed by an enemy,
thus rendering the mines useless. The
mines that are simply planted with no
further means of control may become
as dangerous to the ships Of this Il
try rs they are to those Of nm enemy.
II there could be some means of o n
trolling them from the land without
the necessity of any actual physical
connection the advantages are 80 ap.
parent That they need no enumeration.
After considering n number Of pos
slble solutions Lieutenant Decker o n
ceived the idea Of using sound waves,
which, as Is well known, can be carried
under water. With this us n working
basis he has built up his theory Of
making a mine that will be controlled
by a series of musical notes.

THIN CULTIVATION IS URGED
Loose Soil Serves as Mulch and Con.
serves Moisture-one Way Of
Farming at Loss.

Water moves slowly through a loose
soil and a loose soil will, therefore,
serve as a mulch and conserve moist
ure. This is one Of the reasons for
shallow cultivation. Killing weeds,
putting the land in better physical
condition and furnishing modes of
entrance for oxygen and nitrogen
are other reasons. Failure to Guilt
vate properly is n way Of farm
Ing at a loss. Full particulars as
to the best cultural methods for any

is used, which, of course, includes rigid
adherence to specific directions framed
to ensure safety and efficiency.
In order that 1t may be lasting as
well as efficient, it seems almost nec-
essary that a dip should be poisonous,
and such a dip by remaining in the
fleece, will, If employed in the early
part of the season, confer immunity
from the "ly" attack to a very great
extent, as well as prevent the develop
ment of the larvae.
Carbolic dips and other preparations
OF coal tar, although quite equal to
killing any yermin which the sheep
may harbor, are certainly very eva
nescent and their odor, on which they
depend for lettering the "fy," Is
quickly dissipated.
AS they are nonpoisonous and do
not remain long in the wool, they do
not poison the maggots.
Sprinkling is very much akin to
dipping, the same solution being used.
1t Is practiced when 1t Is not v
lent to dip each sheep separately and
secures the sa%turation of the fleece at
parts most likely to be Struck"
The removal of dirty locks of wool
and the trimming of the soiled parts
Is imperative.
These precautions, however, will not
always suffice, for the yoke of the wool
will prove sufficient attraction unless
poisoned or rendered dlstasteful to the
fly and the pest will sometimes strike,
especially on hot days, and when there
Is thunder in the air.
Powdering the fleece used to be the
favorite method of prevention, but dip
ping or sp~rlnkling with a fluid prepare
ton has largely superseded it as be-
ing more economical, as well as more
efficient.
Fly powders consist for the most
part OF mixtures of sulphur, arsenic,
powdered hellebore, white lead, alum,

tons, and some old~-fashioned farmers
will cling to the use of such agents,
but they are not nearly so effective as
a reliable dip.
