Seagoing Moving Machine.

California now has a seagoing now
ing machine. 1t is in use off the coast
as a part of the government expert
ments to obtain potash from kelp. The
curious craft has blades at the bow
that cut the kelp from three to six feet
below the surface of the water. A
belt brings the severed kelp aboard,
where other knives cut 1t up and other
belts distribute 1t in the hold. The
vessel harvests about two hundred
tons a day, which when dried is re-
duced to 20 tons; that, in turn, yields
about five tons of potash. The rise in
the price of potash from $40 ton to
ten or more times that sum gives a
new value to kelp. which grows In vir-
tually unlimited quantities along our
shores. Farmers have long used the
kelp itself as a enthusiastically

Use of Camera in Training
MarkSmen Saves Ammunition

A saving of ammunition in the train
ing of a marksman has been made
possible by a remarkable apparatus
recently patented by an English in
ventor.
The invention can be easily attached
to q rifle, and consists of small cylin-
drical camera which fastens to the
under side of the barrel, and Is fitted
with a telescope focusing device, so
positioned that Its line of focus is par
allel to the gun barrel. Immediately
In front of the trigger of the weapon a
second trigger is placed. which is con-
nected with the camera-shutter by q
wire.
When a marksman has aimed his
gun and pulls the trigger, the camera
trigger is operated just an instant be-
fore the gun trigger, and consequently
a snapshot is secured of the target
that the gun was pointed at. The po-
sition of the target as it appears on
the developed plate or film will indi-
cate the accuracy Of the shot If the

body from being compared with an In

ments in the laboratory.
The digestive tract and its many
glands that vary in their powers to

For the reasons given each individual,
after once realizing that meats, fat,

various proportions to maintain his
health, will have to make an intensive
study of what digests, so as to give
him the best health and keep up his

him to sleep. and to be of good cheer.
You will always find that people diff
fer from each other in their selection

amount of meat and carbohydrates or
starch, while others have to avoid
starches and sugar to prevent violent

We often find powerful men who live
on very little food. while many frail,

tiles and eat plenty. These things are
hard to explain. The laws of nature
are so profound that even today in this
scientific age we find the digestion of
people differs so that we must at pres

From our actual experience in life,
after long devotion to the feeding of
people, we have learned that mixed
diet is essential to good health The
practical experience of the individual
must be a factor in guiding him in
the selection of foods and the quantity
he can eat.
