WHEN LOST IN THE WOODS.
Do Not Hurry Nor Get Excited, but
Follow These Rules.

What would you do if you got lost IN
the deep woods? How would you pro-
ceed to get out, and how would you
make yourself comfortable until you
did get out or were rescued
Herman Templeton, Il Maine guide OF
many years experience, has the fol-
lowing lists of dos and don'ts for those
who may find themselves lost:
First-Sit down and think it over
Second. Stay where you are, SO that
the men who are not lost will have
some chance OF finding YOU if you
wander around they viii have almost
none
Third.-If you cannot stay still, but
must try to get out, follow a stream or
a logging road downward, and you will
eventually come out somewhere in
open country
Fourth. When YOU stop buid fire
and keep com .ortable overnight.
Don't get excited don't travel IN Il
circle once you discover you have been
doing so; don't hurry at any time;
don't worry lnder any circumstances.
The trouble with most people IS
that they get in a hurry when they
find they are lost, lose their heads and
wander around almost blindly,' said
Mr. Templeton. The greatest reason
why people get lost is lack of observa-
ton They fail to observe the country
when they are going into it, and when
they start TO come out, although they
may be on the right track, they do not
recognize the country enough TO follow
the right course.
Every man going into the woods
should have a compass and thorough
knowledge of how to use it. With that
knowledge and the ability to observe
the country man can travel in the
deep woods safely even without pre-
vious experience. Boston Globe

WORLDS IN THE MAKING.
What Is Taking Place In the Great
NebuIa In Andromeda.

We look today on the things of a
century, a millennium, ago. Light trav-
cling at the rate of 1S6,300 miles a sec
ond requires more than four years to
come from the nearest star, perhaps
thousands and tens of thousands Of
years from the farthest; hence in every
case they are not what Is, but what
was.
Thousands OF nebulae have been dis
covered In the heavens. The spiral pat
tern of some few nebulae has long
been confirmation of the theory that
they are the real beginners of a solar
system. But there has recently come
In much evidence Of the spiral charac-
ter of other nebulae that the conclu-
sion seems forced upon us that practi-
cally all are in a state Of rotation and
are hence supplying the centrifugal
force to throw off the rings which roll
themselves up into planets revolving
about central suns
When opportunity Is given to- look di-
rectly down upon a nebula there re-
suits startling evidence Of its being
explaining its remarkable details of
structure Some look like the propeller
blades Of a motorboat; some are actu-
ally caught In the act of throwing off
rings which are seen condensing at
certain centers. rolling themselves into
planets, henceforth to travel around
their suns The great nebula In An
dromeda gives striking evidence that 1t
is working out another and a greater
solar system than our own.
In short, it seems that In studying
the nebulae we are being admitted to
the very workshop Of the universe and
are permitted to watch the actual proc
ess of turning out worlds Nothing In
the heavens is better fitted to fill the
very soul with awe As In the case of
the fixed stars, our lives are too
brief, too feeble our eyes, to detect the
actual motion Frederick Campbells

Exhaustad Soil.

Where there is exhausted soil"
usually it is the loss of humus that
causes the condition. Get sufficient
vegetable matter back into the soil
and usually applying manure is the
quickest way to accomplish this Give
a dressing of lime to neutralize it In
case the soil is sour, and the fertility
will be restored Proper cultivation
and handling thereafter, working in
vegetable matter every year will keep

BATHS A MONTH LONG.
Natives of Japan Take Them Hot and
Sleep In the Water.


The number OF baths taken daily by
the japanese at the hot springs and
the length Of time they remain in the
water run counter To all western med
ical opinion regarding the utility of
hot baths for iuvalids Five or six
times n day for an hour or longer at a
time would not he considered an un-
common regime
A smile OF iucredulity was raised
some years ago when Professor Cham
berIain told rs Of Tiny spa where the
bathers stayed ia the water for
month or @oIe. with stones ON their
laps to prevent them from floating in
their sleep Iet | could name another
remote little spot where very old man
well advanced in the nineties, III fact
has literally lived in the shallow
warm water Of the spring for years,
his knees and neck supported by a
beam, from early morn till midnight.
The high temperature at which the
baths are taken has excited the wonder
of many travellers At Kusatsu for in
stance, that OF the chief bath Is 1913 de
grees F. but such temperature neces-
sarily involves special precautions be
fore entering the bath, with limit of
from three and one half to four min
utes' immersion
When we remember that water at
115 degrees f. can just be borne by the
hand, but not by the whole body, 1t is
possible to realize the agony of afflicted
humanity In the Kusatsu baths. At the
same time the japanese skin cannot be
SO sensitive as that of the European,
for the daily bath is enjoyed by the ma
tive at temperature that makes the

SUNLIGHT AND SOIL.
Causes of the Difference of Color In
Foliage and Flowers.

Foiiage ana Flowers.
1t is sunlight that chiefly causes the
difference in the color of the foliage
and flowers OF plants. The foliage and
flowers of plants absorb sun rays of
certain coiors and reject others, end
this it is that makes the flowers take
on their proper colors.
We know that the character OF the
soil and possibly a difference in cli-
mate may cause flowers to change
their colors. Some wild flowers of New
Jersey are of quite a different shade
Of color from the same flowers In IL
linois, the character of the soil eaus-
ing the flowers to change their selec-
tion of the suns rays, and thus the
color of the flower is changed.
To prove that the character Of the
soil may change the color of flowers
take any of the pink Towering varie-
ties Of Hydrangea hortensis, repot the
plant, carefully washing away the old
soil, and replace in soil in which alum
has been Incorporated. The proper pro
portion Is half a pound of alum bro
ken into pieces the size of a hickory
nut to each bushel Of SOIL In this soil
the plants, instead of producing pink
flowers, as formerly, will produce flow
ers of blue.
New shades of flowers are produced
by crossing one color with another,
somewhat as an artist mixes paints to
obtain desired shades and colors, but
with far more trouble and far less ac-
curacy. Sometimes on the same stem
flowers of different coloss are found,
due to hybridization or to a freak of
nature, the tendency to break away
from the established type. In nature
nothing stands still. 1t Is either pro
gression or retrogression.
The range of color for each species
seems to be confined within certain
limits, though the hybridizer is gradu-
ally extending these limits Yellow,
white and purple are the commonest
colors ia wild flowers in the order
named, Yellow is the simplest and
most primitive color ana blue the latest
and most highly evolved. Exchange.

How Much Rest?

Workers who are used mostly to
watch machines in operation and who
are seated and otherwise comfortable
while doing so need no allowance for
rest On most kinds of work 10 per
cent of working hours for rest should
be allowed for males and II per cent
for females. Rest should be increased
beyond this according as the worker is
exposed to high temperatures, is sub
Jected to anxiety or other nervous or
mental strain in connection with his
work, or has to do heavy muscular
work.-George III. Sheppard In Indus

Preparation Being Made 20 Enforce the
Federal Act


The first public announcement of
preparation for the enforcement of the
federal child labor law when 1t shall
take effect Sept. / is contained in q
letter to governors Of all the states Is
sued by the secretaries of labor and
commerce and the attorney general Of
the United States, comprising the ad-
ministrative board In charge of the
task. The governors are asked to call
upon their respective legislatures for
action which viii avoid duplicate state
and federal systems of ascertaining
the ages Of children to be protected.
They point out that but one certificate
should be required and that the states
need only meet the standard Of age de-
termination set by the federal act to
save the bother and expense Of dupli-
cate working papers.
Secretary Wilson pointed out that the
law permits the federal board to ac-
cept the certificates Of states which it
approves. "There are forty-eight diff
ferent child labor laws" he wrote
"On the point Of proof Of age Of chill
dren there are more than forty-eight
different sets Of regulations, varying
remarkably. The board has suggested
that the states having legislative ses-
sions empower a state board or state
official to make state regulations when
our regulations have been determined
upon" or they may enact approved
requirements for proof of age
An appropriation Of 100000 to be
used IN the enforcement Of the law was
before congress ana had the hearty
support of the National Child Labor
Committee and its 5000 members

SAFEGUARDING WORKERS.
Safety Devices Reduce Industrial 40
cidents In Pennsylvania.


Safety deyiaes and safety first In
struction ia local factories have reduc-
ed fatal accidents in Pennsylvania so
per cent ia January Of this year as
compared with the same month last
year. Factory inspectors have ordered
the installation Of 10000 guards and
10000 other safety appliances.
1t is stated that the pressure Of the
compensation law has done marvellous
things in safeguarding the workers. In
1911, before the compensation law was
passed, only 418 safety appliances were
installed Last year there were nearly
10000.
Manufacturers forced to conserve
their workers lives because of the
workmen's compensation rates, have
organized safety committees, installed
appliances costing more than S1,00O,000
and, in reducing their compensation
costs, have cut the death toll of indus
try In half
