 Once. on reading a maxaxfn6 asticle by an enthusiastic young fnopntain climber who dilated upon. his thrilling adventures in scaling Mount Tyndall, John Muir commented dryly: "He must have given himself lot of trouble. When climbed Tyndall I ran up and back before breakfast" At time when trails were few and hard to find he explored the Sierra. which, he said, should be called no: the Nevada or Snowy range, but the Range of Light. When night came he selected the lee side of log, made a fire and went to sleep on bed of pine needles. If it was showing he made bigger fire and lay closer to his log shelter.

How to Fireproof Cloth and to Make
 Sympathetic Ink.
 Sympathetic ink" popularly consid cred first aid" to war spies in writ ing invisible communications, and "fireproof cloth" offer two interesting chemical experiments the formulas fol which have been supplied by a con tributor to the Electrical Experimenter They follow:
 Sympathetic Ink.-With a clean stee pen write on white paper with a cobalt chloride solution and let dry. When the paper is held near a fire the writ ing will gradually appear and disap pear again when 1t cools because the chloride absorbs moisture from the air Even though the paper is scorched. the writing will still be visible.
 Fireproofing Cloth. - First get two glass tumblers. Add two teaspoonfuls of ammonium chloride to the water in one glass and stir until dissolved In the other glass put piece of cot ton cloth two or three inches square and then pour the dissolved ammonium chloride into the glass containing the cloth and see that 1t is well soaked with the solution. Hang the cloth uI and let it dry. Then touch it with 8 lighted match. It will burn in the flame, but will go out as soon as tho flame is removed.
