In ten minutes the servant returned
with two galvanized iron buckets. one
filled with road scrapings and the other
with water. She also brought three or
four wooden platters. varying in size
from a large plate to a saucer. RemoV-

scrapings and placing them in the
larger platter, the woman picked out
and threw aside the large stones. peb-

the other bucket. This enabled her to
remove smaller refuse.
The residuum she put into the next
smaller platter, and she repeated the
process until there was a quantity of
sand and gravel ready for treatment
and. by a deft circular movement of
the platter, brought the small gravel
to the outside, where 1t could be thrust

Wood Carving for Ships.

AN almost forgotten profession is
~ that of ship carving. For many
centuries, down to the beginning of
vessels, especially men-of-war, was
profuse, intricate and forid. The
carving on the United States line-of-
battle ship America, launched in 1852
and presented to France. will give
some idea of the extent to which this
was carried.

Philadelphia furnished not only the
greatest ship designer in the United
States, but also the best ship carver in
the world, William Rush. In this field he
was without rival, and to wonder
full technical skill he added an artistic
sense of beauty and genius for compo-
sition.
Rush was the first carver to give an
idea Of life and motion to a ships fig
urehead. Each of his figureheads was
either the lifelike representation OF a
person or some symbolic conception
expressed in exquisite carving. His
most noted productions were Mature"

that name and THE River Cod for
the East India ship Ganges. These fig-
ureheads were nine feet high and

The model of a three-horned dinosaur
of most extraordinary size-the Trice-
ratops galicornis-is one of the best
that Mr.. Gilmore has completed. Its
most striking physiological develop
ment is an enormous and strangely
formed skull. In adult animals of this
species this part of the skeleton grew
to be not less than eight feet in length,
which is only surpassed by the skulls
of some of our existing whales.
Over twenty skulls of the triceratops
have been unearthed, and when they
CHANGED to be full grown, any two of
them would weigh together not less
than four tons. They possessed the
biggest heads of any animals that have
ever lived on the earth.
Mr.. Gilmore was the first to make a
model of Brachyceratops montanensis-
another extinct reptile with ponder
Gus head, which dwelt in the swamps
of Montana during the prehistoric
epoch. 1t is curious to note that now
for the first time in the history of
paleontology one man has found a

Is safe to presume that it was scaly,
having incorporated in it here and
there certain rough formations such
as are found in some saurians of the
present day, notably the crocodiles and
alligators.
Mr.. Gilmore has based the proportions
of his model upon measurements made
from the type specimen of stegosaurus
now in the National Museum This
specimen worked out by Prof. Marsh
after twenty-five years of study is one
of the most thrilling objects on exhibit
ton in the entire museum.
The extensive collection of different
species of stegosaurus in the museum

obtained from two very celebrated To-

When stegosaurus hourished, more
than 100000 years ago, this area was
an enormous basin of marshy land,
sprinkled with great number of lakes
and waterways.
From the latter quarry came the I'M
surpassed and most extensive stego-
saurfan remains the world has ever
seen. 1t was from the former quarry
that the unusually complete fossilized
skeleton now restored in the museum
was obtained.

knowing the problem of the opposing

While one side is having it's turn
the opposing men must remain out or

about the map for it's first play in the
game the leader is asked to answer the
following questions:

H. What tools toutposts, advance

Il. What orders do ! give to my

OF course. il is :int always possible
for the leaders to answer all of these
questions, as they are given varying
amounts of Information in varying
problems. 1t may readily be seen, how

In this particular case the decision
went to the Blues as they were able
to reach their destination in less time
than were the Reds and because
through their movements the Reds"
had left party of their opponents In
back of them as well as in front.
Following the games the mistakes
which the boys have made and the
places where they have not reasoned
as accurately as they should have done
are pointed out to them by those in
charge.
The boys are now very proficient In

cinating. At the same time they have
