with such SuGGeuuesS. Abbott had only
casually mentioned it at the close of
lengthy conversation regarding the
progress of the work as if il were a
matter Of no special moment. that the
sudden shock had thrown Meade OF
his balance.
Therefore he could see nothing but
danger and the necessity for action.
How he should handle his superior. or
rather the bridges superior. was the
last thing in his mind. Aside from his
natural pride in his father and in the
bridge and his fear that lives would toe
lost if ii failed, unless he could get
the men withdrawn, there was the
complication Of his engagement To
Helen IlIIngworth.
Meade could not close his eyes, he
could not sleep a moment on the train.
His mind was in a turmoil. Prayers
that he would get To his father and the
bridge people in time 10 stop work and
prevent loss Of life, schemes for taking
up the detection, strengthening the
member, and completing the bridge,
and fears that he would lose the wom-
an, stayed with him through the night.

Exploration of New Guinea.

A few years ago elaborate plans
were laid in Germany to explore the
hitherto inaccessible interior of New
Guinea by means Of balloons. which
were expected TO drift over the island
in the prevailing winds. The project
was much discussed in the magazines
and subscriptions were solicited in it's
behalf, but it was never carried out.
1t Is now reported in the newspapers
that Or. Eric Mjorberg, q Swede. is
planning TO make use Of an airplane
to explore the interior Of New Guinea,

Waste Bark Replaces Rags.

A method of using waste hemlock
tan bark to replace partially expensive
rag stock in the manufacture of felt
roofing has been developed ut the for
est products laboratory at Madison,
Wis, and is now being used CONNER
cially by cooperating mills, according
TO an announcement made by the for
est service. 1t IS stated that in these
mills from 20 10 30 per cent Of the
rags is being replaced by waste bark
and that the quality of the finished
product is equal to that manufactured
solely from rags. Members of the for

the experiments say that the utiliza-
ton of the bark will make it possible

There had been some friction be-

Meade had ventured to suggest some

subsequent events had more often than

worth while, had not put Abbott in al

AN OATH FOR AMERICANS.

In the days of ancient Greece. when
Athens had reached the very pinnacle
of hcr attainmcnts. 1t was customary
to administer the following oath to her
citizens:
1--WE will never bring disgrace to this
our city by any act of cowardice or
dishonesty. We will fight for the
ideals and sacred things of the city.
We will revere and obey the city's
laws, and do our best to incite a like
respect and reverence In others. We
will strive increasingly to quicken the
publc's sense of duty. We will trans
nit this city to those who come afte:
us. greater. better and more beautiful
than it was transmitted to u.s.

just as strong significance today as It
had in ancient times and it might be
wise to change the word city" to ma
tion," and administer the oath to pres
ent day Americans. - Goodman's
