Braided Rivers.

A river not confined to single chan
mel, but broken up into number of
channels, which in turn branch and
unite in complex and confusing man.
ner, is called a. braided stream. It is
caused by the slight fall of the stream,
which prevents it from carrying away
all the sediment swept into it by its
numerous tributaries.
This material chokes the stream and
forces it to spread into many shallow
and shifting channels, resembling the
strands of a braid. A good example Of
this is Jefferson river. in Montana

WHALING DAYS ARE OVER.
A Once Thriving Industry That Has
Nearly Vanished.

At the outbreak of the American Rev.
olution and for period of seventy-fve
years following the conclusion of that
struggle whaling was the most impor-
tant branch of the American fisheries
From 500 to 700 vessels sought whales
in all the oceans and seas of the world,
and in one year New Bedford alone
sent out 800 vessels, whose cargoes Of
bone and oil were the basis of the in
dustrial life Of the city.
The pursuit of sperm whales reached
it's climax in 1887, when oil valued at
nearly $4,50O,O0O was brought in, most
ly from the south Pacific. The height
Of the industry was in 1916, when TO-
600 persons derived their support from
whales and 720 vessels, valued at S21,-
100000, were engaged.
For more than fifty years the fishery
has been declining, and in numerous
ports that once derived most Of their
wealth from the industry there have
for a long time existed only memories
of former greatness. For number Of
years the sperm, right and bow head
whales that supported the fishery in
early years have been very scarce and
their pursuit has been improbable,
and the present Importance Of the
whale fishery, amounting in value to
less than per cent of the American
fisheries, depends on the taking from
shore stations of species Of whales that
formerly were for the most part neg
lected. ~
The glory of the whale fishery has
departed forever. and the commercial
if not the biological extinction of all
kinds of whales is proceeding rapidly,
undeterred and unlamented by the
principal maritime powers.-Hugh M.

WEATHER FORECASTS.

Few city people reading the weather
forecasts in their morning or evening
papers realize the Importance warning
of rain, snow, frost, or high winds may
have for the farmer, fruit grower or
stock raiser in the country. The message
which causes the city man merely to
debate whether he shall carry an UNI
brella or take his overcoat, when tele-
graphed to country points may lie
telephoned instantly from farmer to
farmer as news of the greatest agricultur-
al Importance. -~@-...
Such message over the phone may
cause the entire countryside to become a
scene of intensive activity. There is a
rush to hay or grain fields to get in the
crop or, in the spring, work like beavers
covering young seedlings in the truck
gardens with paper or other protection
from frost, or preparing to build fires or
light smudges in orchards.
On ranches every available worker
may be dispatched to herd in sheep or
stock to protect them from storms. To
them the message, which in the city may
have foretold only slight personal dis
comfort, carries tidings Of conditions
which may mean heavy monetary losses
to the unprepared farm or ranch.
On the other hand forecast pre-
dieting good or hot weather for three or
four days to come may send thousands
Of reapers into the fields to take adj
vantage of the favorable weather, and,
as if by magic change the landscape from
one of waving grain or grass into scene
of haycocks, or wheat sheaves.
The United States weather bureau has
perfected special systems and facilities
for obtaining and disseminating advance
weather news, adapted to the protection
Of growers of many special crops in differ
ent sections of the country. In con-
nection with the weather reports re-
ceived from it's 200 stations and from
1850 other observation points, the
bureau has established large number
of special stations for observing crop
weather conditions in the corn, wheat,
cotton, sugar, rice and cattle raising
districts. 49,
The object of this service is to furnish
the growers Of each of these crops thru
out the summer with information that
will enable them to handle the crops to-
best advantage. The weather experts
some times fail to make good their pre-
dictions but in the main the forecasts
are reliable.-Ma 7ekdto Free Press.

Sun Drunkenness.

To become sun drunk is a condition
into which any one may fall in the
tropics. Exposure to the suns rays
will reduce "a man to condition al
most exactly resembling drunkenness.
He staggers about and is usually COM
PEELED to lie down and "sleep it off,
Sun drunkenness is sometimes accom-
panied by nausea. Another curious
fact in connection with life in the trop-
les, where the sun rises at the same
time all the year round, is that if you
do not get up before sunrise you do
not feel well all day. You feel heavy,

LEAPS m THE DARK.
Why the eroneho Jumped In HE Wild
Race At MIDNIGHT.

-
Race At Midnight. :
A former herdsman relates q thrill
Ing personal experience connected with
stampede of cattle. He was taking
herd Of 400 steers to Leadville and had
camped for the night on Bear river,
near it's junction with the Little Snake.
At midnight, when he went on guard,
all was quiet, but in an hour or So for
some unexplained reason, the cattle
were up and off like flash. Some
thing had stampeded them.
He was riding an old blue colored.
line backed California broncho, just
the beast for the work. He had often
ridden him hundred miles day.
The night was dark and cloudy, and
be had to rely on the animals sure
footedness as he strove to stay on the
TANKS of the steers and turn them
until their scare should cease.
1t was a wild race. Four or five
times the broncho gave tremendous
jumps, but landed right and went on
in good shape. In the course of an
hour or so the man had the beeves
quieted.
When daylight came, being curious
to learn what obstacles had occasioned
those tremendous jumps of the bron-
cho, the man set forth to look over the
ground. Leaving the bottom land, the
steers had assembled gentle ACTIVITY,
and on the plateau at the top he had
kept circling them.
The. plateau was intersected by q
canyon about four miles long and from
1900 to 1000 feet deep. Its walls In
clined toward each other at the top,
and the distance across was fifteen or
twenty feet.
During the chase the broncho had
jumped that frightful chasm four
times. His hoof marks were plainly
visible, and down in the debris, hun
dreds Of feet below, were a dozen
mangled steers that had been crowded
of.-Los Angeles Times.

sTRATAGEMs OF WAR.
Glover Tricks by Which Tive Chilean
Warships Were Sunk.


Warships Were Sunk.
Between the years 1870 and 1884 the
republics Of Peru and Chile were at
war, and, although the Peruvians were
eventually discounted, they displayed
great adroitness in naval matters. On
one occasion they succeeded in sinking
TWO Chilean warships, their clever
strategy being thus described by Ste
phen Coleridge in his memoirs:
Soon after the Chilean fleet had set
tied down to the blockade of Callao
there appeared in the bay one morning
large barge Of fruit that had obvious
~ gone adrift from the shore. The
Peruvians put out in boats and steam
plnnaces to bring the barge back, and
the Chileans, seeing what was happen
Ing, also sent out pinnaces and boats
to intercept and capture the drifting
barge. A fierce fusillade between the
hostile boats followed. and several men
were killed or wounded. At length the
Peruvians drew off and left the barge
in the hands Of the triumphant Chile
ans. who towed it off amid the cheers
Of their ships, crews, who had watched
the fight with keen interest.
They brought the barge alongside
one of the big men-of-war and quickly
sent the cargo Of luscious fresh fruit
up the side in baskets. When about
half the cargo had been taken on board
terrific explosion shook the bay, and
an enormous hole appeared in the side
OF the great ship which sank instantly
with all hands. By an arrangement of
springs and balances huge charge of
dynamite in the bottom of the barge
was ignited when q certain amount of
the weight Of the cargo was removed.
Although the Peruvians had waged the
fight for the possession of the barge
with fierce persistence, they had never
intended to be successful.
"A few weeks later a large man-cf
war was sent up the coast to capture
anything worth having at Huacho. On
the appearance of the vessel the in
habitants drew their boats far inland
and, taking all their valuables, fed into
the interior. One boat. a new one,
larger than the others, they hauled
some little way up the beach and then
abandoned
"After >pillaging the place the Chile
ans looked at the boat, which was en-
tirely empty. The Peruvians had re-
moved oars. sails, mast and even the
rowlocks. The Chileans looked it over
to be sure that there was no dynamite
in it and then towed it away to their
vessel. The captain had the davits run
out and ropes put round the seats at
the bow and the stern. Then he or
dered his men to haul away.
1T was the last order he ever gave,
for the moment the ropes frightened
the ship was blown to pieces and dis
appeared in seventy fathoms of water.
A, false bottom had concealed ire
mendous charge of dynamite that was
arranged to ignite when any upward
force was applied to any of the seats.
TIE inhabitants of the town, who
had watched their stratagem destroy
great man-of-war without the small
est risk to themselves. returned hilari-
ously to their houses with songs and
Dances" r- 80

ACTION IN
CASE OF FROST-BITE

DR.. William Brady, in his daily health
talks in the St. Paul Pioneer Press often
gives some valuable advice to the lay
man. In recent issue the doctor dis
clsses Prostitutes as follows: =
Every reasonably human being should
know what to do in certain emergencies,
such as drowning, accidents, suffocation
by gas, electric shock Chow to perform
Schafer's cas- y method of artificial respira-
tom, sunstroke, fainting and frostbite.
Too often the victim is injured by dra-
matte efforts when something might be
done for him by any by-stander who is
prepared. Preparedness is fine to talk
about, but it is sin and a shame that
the great majority of supposedly intelli-
gent adults can do nothing but gasp
and yell and get in the way when an
emergency occurs. It would be better
to faint right away and make room for
some one who can help-a Boy Scout,
for instance. A Boy Scout can teach
the average bystander a number of
things it is valuable to know.
Frostbite is pathologically identical
with burn. Like a burn, it occurs in
three. degrees the first degree is mere
redness and irritation of the skin; the
second degree is blistering; the third
degree is destruction Of skin and under
lying tissues, gangrene, sloughing, and all
the subsequent effects seen in a deep
burn.
Is the nose, the cheek, the ear or
other part frost-bitten? If the color
returns very slowly after the pressure Of
the finger is removed, yes. If the red
ness is accompanied by swelling, yes.
If the redness is followed by blanching
or whitening of the part, yes If numb
ness, or lack of sensation ensues upon
tingling and burning, yes, it is case Of
frostbite. ="
Chilblains is mild form of FROST
bite, characterized, chiefly by tingling,
aching, smarting, burning. 1t is a
frequently recurring first degree frostbite.
Ii frostbite is severe, the blanching
IS followed after an hour or two by blue
ness or ividity and blistering of the
skin. Healing is even more tedious than
after burn of similar degree. If the
frostbite is of the third degree the sur
face becomes ''black and blue' or marble
like, there: is no sensation or pain, and
blisters cover the skin. This means
gangrene- death and all the
concomitants of that condition., slough
ing, liberation, sepsis.
The treatment for frostbite should
be stimulation of the individual With
hot coffee, and the application of general
warmth-hot water bag, hot foot baths,
etc. But for ordinary nips of the cheek,
ear or nose, moderate massage with
snow or cool water is sufficient, and this
should be carefully done to avoid blister
ing by friction. The rubbing and knead-
ing should cease the instant natural
color returns to the bitten skin. This
usually occurs after few seconds of
treatment. In ordinary frostbites ex-
cessive rubbing will do more harm than
the bite itself, for at the worst there is a
mere peeling of cuticle as after sunburn.
