HIDING TH3 WARSHIP.
Smoke Screens and How They Are
Used In Naval engagements.

Smoke Screens and How They Are
Used In Naval Engagements.
The manner III which the density Of
the smoke screens is regulated during
a battle is Interesting. BY partly shut
ting off the draft to her boilers a bat
tIeship IS made to emit clouds Of smoke
which screen her from the enemy. But
how can the s,OkerS, who are far be-
low deck, see the stacks so that they
can regulate the smoke clouds to the
proper density! ny an electric 'eye,"
says Popular Science Monthly. The
eye is placed near the top Of the smoke
stack, and it records the exact density
on electric meters conveniently located
in the boiler room.
This remarkably clever eye is simply
a wire coil of selenium which is car
ried in a housing on the inside Of the
smOkestack walls. An electric light, in
another housing directly opposite, plays
it's beams Of light squarely upon the
wire. Now, selenium, as is we'll known,
has the peculiar property of changing
it's resistance to all electric current
when the light falling upon it changes.
The weaker the light the greater the
resistance, and vice versa.
Evidently, then, the denser the smoke
emitted through the stack the weaker
the light that gets through the smoke
from the electric lamp and falls upon
the selenium. BY connecting the sele-
mum with an electric meter and the
ships lighting mains the electric cur.
rent going through the meter will be
lowered by the increased resistance
The meter is very sensitive and shows
the slightest change in smoke density
Moreover, it is calibrated to indicate
exactly what the actual smoke density
is, so that the stOkers can regulate the
cutoff Of the draft to a nicely.
Glass plates are placed in front OF
the lamp and of the selenium coil tc
protect them from soot. The plates
are kept clean by streams of com
pressed air directed against them.

At meeting of the Alberta bust
ness men last week it was decided
upon to close all the business places
in Alberta at p. m, beginning
Monday, October 18th. The store
keepers of Alberta are always open
at an early hour and it is no more
than right they should close at
a reasonably early time. Same is
being done in other towns. After
October 18th farmers should en-
deavor to get their cream in before
p. M, so they can dispose of same
and get it out on the night train
the same evening.

REGULAR HABITS.
They Go a Long Way Toward Building
Up Good Health.

They Go Long Way Toward Building
Up Good Health.
Regular habits for retiring must be
for securing good sleep.
The human body has a wonderful
periodicity in all it's spontaneous &C
lions, and by studying these much of
the machinery Of health may be made
to work smoothly.
Witness one habit Of waking at
certain hour to which we have been ac-
customed.
Regularity in eating is most impOr-
tant for health. The digestive tract
will respond at regular times just as
other habits will repeat themselves.
Proper food properly digested will do
much for ones health and happiness.
It is a mistake to eat too much.
We should try and enjoy our meals
by paying attention to the taste Of
food. Do not gulp it down. 1t should
be masticated and tasted so as to slim
ulate those nerves which reflect their
sense on the other nerves controlling
the glands of digestion.
When you feel indigestion after eat
ing a meal note the ingredients eaten
and should it repeat itself try to con-
Wet the guilty food and dismiss it from
your dietary.
Don't make eating q task, but make
it a pleasure, so that the food will di-
gest and be assimilated and applied to
the different necessities Of the activi-
ties Of life.
Youth demands greater variety and
quantity Of food than does old age and
especially does it require more protein
and meat.
Learning what foodstuffs best suit is
one Of the great educational tasks man
has before him, for he no longer has
the intuition Of the lower animals. The
latter seem to inherit a sense that di-
reefs them what is best for their body
wants. The vast majority Of animals
can differentiate between poisonous
and nonpoisonous foodstuffs.-Commis-
sioner of Health DR.. Samuel G. Dixon

Why They Have Green Backs.

Why the United States banknotes
are printed with green backs is not
generally known, although there is IA
most excellent reason for it. The great
drawback to paper currency, says the
Baltimore American, is the likelihood
of it's being counterfeited, and there
fore experts are constantly at work to
contrive ways of making it impossible
to copy such bills.
Stacy J. Edison was the man who in
1857 invented the green ink that Uncle
Sam uses on his bank bills. The ink,
which was patented, is anti-phOto-
graphic-that is, it cannot be photo
kraphed, QOr can counterfeiters in try
ing to geta facsimile Of the notes move
it with alkalies. The secret of the in
gradients Of the ink of course is care
fully preserved.

BoAsTER NEVER GOOD MAN
He Who Really Does Things Does Not
Need TO Call Others Atten.
tion TO Them.

IL is an old, familiar saying that he
who excuses himself accuaes himkelf.
So us It with the man who you'd e1elt
himaelf BY boosting. He, TO, accuses
himself. asS X
To toast.is to feel the need cf boastA;
Ing, remarks the Irish Worh '2he
strong, Energetic. really Successful
man Is toobusy planning new achieve
ments to sop to plume himself on
past ones. Besides, he is not worrying
about the opinion others bld OF him.
He knows that he is doing well aud
that he can continue to do well. That
Is enough for him. He is quite content
to let his work speak for itself.
The boaster. on the contrary. by the
very fact, Of his boating, betrnys .
curious lack of self confidence. HIS
boasting amounts to a concession that
he is surprised at himself for ever
having done anything woth boastins
about. The discerning recognize this
and appraise the boaster accordingly.
Also they know that even those
whom his Boosting might delude would
be repealed by the egotsm which the
Boosting indicates all too plainly. This
means that he would md It hard to
get along with others and would be
that much more handicapped for any
genuine achievement.
If, then, you notice in, yourself any
tendencies to boastfulness, consider
their significance. Always remember
that the more you boast the less likely
are you to accomplish things that are
really worth while.
