MINES PUZZLE ENGLISH
Are Even Harder Problem Than
  U-Boats and Arc Making serioas|

Inroads on English Shipping.
 London, April 16.-Mines laid ins the important British shipping laneSS by the German U-boats are proving just as serious a problem to the ada miralty as the U-boats themselves. Sir Edward Carson, first lord of thsl admiralty, pointed out in speeciia this week that in the olden times tho laying of mines was dangerous, but itt was nothing then to what it is n'ow,1 when submarines arc employed not only to sink ships, but to lay mineSs below the surface of the water" ss
 Mines of this character have caused s heavy loss in the English channel since tho submarine campaign begAnS on February 1, and from the promis-s cous way in which these machines were scattered they were much more difficult to deal with than when placed by surface craft in more or less de-. fined areas.
 "A submarine can follow our mine sweepers" said Sir Tdward Carson, "and as quickly as we sweep up mines they can lay new ones without our knowing or suspecting. Do not un- { derestimate the danger and difficulties of that operation" Necessarily, this practice involves the navy in gigan- tic work to ensure even comparative immunity. Complete immunity cannot in the circumstances be expected.
 Submarine mines of this character, freshly laid, were. swept up in tho path of the American liner St. Louis. Similar mines. from which it had a escape, were found at . place where the St. Louis had an- chored for several hours.
 During the past two months of ruthless submarining, three British destroyers have been sunk in the Eng fish channel by mines.

That the japanese are past masters
In the art of ,swordmaking is proved by
the splendid weapons, equal to those
of Toledo and Damascus, which they
turn out. The actual method Of sword
making in Japan is jealousy guarded,
an extraordinary feature of the indus
try being the religious ceremony which
accompanies every process Of their
manufacture. The walls of every
swordmaking shop In Japan will be
found to be covered with categorical
representations of the swordmakers
and the chief goddess Of the Shintos.
Even the final processes Of polishing
and sharpening are characterized by
certain religious ceremonies, and final.
ly the weapons are offered, one by one,
to the sword god to be blessed, says
London Tit-Bits. This ceremony con-
sists in placing the swords in front OF
the goddess Of the Shintos on the wall,
with an offering Of sake, rice and
sweetmeats, after which prayer scrolls
are read and blessing upon the work Is
invoked.

For a severe attack Of indigestion
there is nothing better than hot water

taken as hot as can be swallowed

effective by adding a few drops of es-

der Uncle Sans Guidance.

One Of the interesting problems
which have faced Uncle Sans Indian
Office of recent years has been in con-
nection with the sO-called Rocky Boys
band. More than sixty years ago a
band Of Chippewas left Wisconsin to
hunt buffalo and finally reached Mon
tana, then a wild and unsettled coun-
try. Years passed and the Chippewas
who remained in Minnesota and Wis.
consin were given land, but this off,
shoot Of a once powerful tribe was ap.
parently overlooked. 1t remained in
Montana, hunting buffalo and other
wild game, then plentiful there, but
with the advent Of the white man its
natural means of subsistence were dis
sipated, and soon these people became
q wandering band of tramps, seeking
odd Jobs, but depending largely upon
the charities of the public. -
Altogether, their condition appealed
strongly to many Of the best citizens
of Montana, some of whom took an
active interest in their welfare, con.
tributing money, time and practical
help. ....g-:rs = ---.s f.,

" on account Of this fact and partly
owing to tribal antagonism, the ma

there and resumed their former noma-
die habits. It soon became apparent,
however, that the Rocky Boy band was

and become self-supporting. Congress

Conserve Postage Stamps,
New Plea of Uncle Sam.

Uncle SANS postmaster gen
eral has issued the following ap-
peal: ~.
AS a measure Of economy post
masters! and post office EN-.
,iployees are directed to encour-
hage the public. to use stamps OF
the highest denominations suited
to the amount Of postage re-
quired on all mail. For example,
a 2-cent stamp instead of two l.
cent stamps should be affixed to
letters needing 2 cents postage;
and 1O-cent stamp instead of
five 2-cent should be attached
to parcels requiring 10 cents
postage. Cooperation between
postoffice employees and the
public in the sale and use OF
stamps of the higher denomina-
lions will effect large saving
to the government in the cost Of
producing, transporting, and
canceling them, and will benefit
the public in minimizing the
number Of stamps handled and
affixed to mail. This benefit will
be especially important to bust
ness concerns mailing large
quantities of letters and parcels,
and postmasters are directed to
bring the suggestion particularly
to their notice.

INSECTS TENACIOUS OF LIFE
Are Able to Survive Injuries Which
Would Cause Death In Higher
Forms Of Animal Life.

The unusual success Of insects in the
struggle for existence has been q SUBJ
ject Of much discussion in scientific
circles. Just why it is that these lit
tie creatures have survived the ravages
Of birds and other enemies, as well as
the ingenious contrivances Of man for
their destruction, and form today the
most numerous class Of animals on
the face of the earth, leaves wide
deld for argument and conjecture.
Two important reasons for this have
been pointed out by naturnlists. i. e.,
their prolificacy and their extraordi-
nary adaptation to environment. An
other just as potent reason, which has
received less attention, Is their amaz-
Ing tenacity to life, many species be-
Ing able to survive injuries which
would cause almost instantaneous
death in the higher forms Of animal
life,

Charcoal Made in Dominica.

Charcoal is much used in Dominica
probably because there is plenty OF
cheap labor to burn it. Most Of it Is
made far up the rivers and brought
down then in heavy native dugout ca
noes. The charcoal is first packed IN
little bark baskets about the size Of a
strawberry basket. Several hundred
Of these are then loaded upon the boat
and tied down with some sort of fiber !;
a man takes his place In the stern and
the craft starts on long journey at
the rate of perhaps a mile an hour.
To an American it looks as though 1t
must have taken a week to pile up the
load, while a breath Of wind might
knock it all in the water, but the car
goes always seem to arrive safely In
port.

MAKING WATCH TELL TRUTH
Traveller Hits Upon Plan to Mako II
Unnecessary to Turn His Time.
,- piece Forward or Back.

The average commercial traveller
who journeys about the United States
has to keep a close watch on his tiae-
piece to sec that it Is telling the truth.
There is an hours difference in time
when you enter and leave some cities,
and it's an Important matter that you
do not forget to set your watch back
or forward an hour, according to which
way you are travelling. If you over.
look 1t you may miss train.
An express official who travels al
most all the time and is so busy that
heA sometmes'-forgets to change his
watch at Detroit, Mich, for instance,
or ut Dodge City, a., has frequently
had an experience Of this kind. Some.
times he has arrived an hour ahead Of
time, or perhaps an hour after train
has left, giving him time enough for
reflection.
Recently he conceived the idea of
making his watch tell all four diff.
ferent tines-Eastern, Central, Noun.
tain and Pacific. He went to teweler
and had extra hour hands put on his
-timepiece--each of different color,
so that he can recognize 1T at Il glance,
on the face of his watch. For in.
stance, the ordinary hour-hand, set
at Eastern time, is silver a blue hand,
set an hour back, represents Central
time; a red hand, for Mountain time,
is set two hours back, and a, green
hour-hand three hours back, represents
Pacific time. "'t .'' t,
You can do this to your own watch.
The jeweler will make a set Of hands
of these colors and alter your watch
for consideration Of few dollars.
