Lunas. of the Whale.

Concerning the breathing apparatus
of the whale an eminent naturalist
says. The windpipe does not COM
municate with the mouth. \ hole is,
rs it were. bored right through the
back of the head. Engineers would
do well to copy the action of the valve
of the whales blow hole. A more per-
feet piece of structure it is impossible
TO imagine. Day and night asleep or
awake, the whale works his breathing
apparatus in such a manner that not
u drop of water ever gets down into
the lungs. Again, the whale must of
necessity stay a much longer period
under water than seals. This alone
might possibly drown him, nasmuch
as the lungs cannot have access to
fresh air. We find that this difficulty
has been anticipated and obviated by
Il peculiar reservoir in the yenous sys-
TEN, which reservoir is situated at the
back of the lungs

How Javanese Settle ouarreIs.

The Jayanese manner of settling
quarrels is quite original. When one
man has offended another the injured
party gives notice that he is angry by
drawing in the sand before the door of
the offender a circle with a straight
line across it, indicating that his affec-
ton. which would have been eternal,
has been cut in two. Friends of both
PARTIES then shut them up. They par
ley awhile, then pretend to be born
again, prattle as little children and
iinally as men become reconciled and
embrace. Should one he refractory and
refuse To be conciliated he is ostracized
by the community SO efectually that
lie is soon brought TO terms.

Tbs STOPS HAIR

Ever count the dead Iid:rs in your

warning Of future badness and proof
that the dangerous dandruff germ is
busy on your scalp. 1t was a famous
Paris physician who first discovered
that dandruff and falling hair are
caused by a microbe Then came the
discovery of the value of Partisan
Sage (liquid form in destroying the
dandruff germ and promptly prevent
ing the further loss of hair. The eff
feet of only three days use of Pari-
sian Sage is simply marvellous, and
the American people have now awak-
ened to the fact that they can be
quickly rid of dandruff and save their
hair by using Partisan Sage.
Partisan Sage is sold by w. L. Go
kay and good druggists everywhere.
It's inexpensive, daintily perfumed,
free from sickness and will surely
cause hair to grow soft, lustrous and
really seem twice as abundant.

STRENGTH OF WOOD.
The Pressure II Took to Break a Beam
Of Douglas Fir.

OF douglas TlTs
A piece of Douglas fir, 16 feet long
and 1G by inches in cross section,
stood Il pressure OF $500 pounds be-
fore breaking at the test conducted in
the engineering laboratory of the Uni
versity Of Washington by c. w. Zim-
mermann of the United States forest
service.
The experiment was II demonstration
OF the standard used by the forest seW-
ice in testing bridge spans. The beam
was held by a fifteen foot support, and
the load was concentrated at two
points five feet from each end of the
beam. As pressure was applied the
beam continued to bend until the point
of maximum detection was reached
Measurements were then taken, and it
was found that the beam had bent 2.S5
inches under the pressure of $4,000
pounds. This occurred two minutes
after the test started.
Eight minutes later, after 3S,400
pounds of additional weight had been
added. the beam broke. During this
time there was no further DETECTION of
the piece. Mr. zimmerman explained
that the small fibers OF the wood were
continually giving way under the pres
sure. and at the end of eight minutes
the beam. sufficiently weakened, snap
ped suddenly.

SECOND TRAINING CAMP

Latest advices from the War Dc
partment regarding the new Officers
Training Camp, which is to be organ
lied on August eth, give special en-
couragement to men 25 years or over
who have had no previous military
experience.
The 40, 900 men who are now COM
pleting their training in the first Off
GERS Training Camp represent most
of those in the country who have had
previous military experience and are
not now in service. Previous mill
tary experience was one of the chief
qualifications for this first camp and,
consequently, eliminated great
number of promising young men who
would have been glad of the oppor-
tunity to train for an officers berth
In the new national army.
These men are now given their
chance. The War Department, in an
nouncing it's plans for the second
camp, which opens August 27, en-
phasizcs the fact that previous mill
tary experience is not a requirement.
Even thoce men who have had such
an experience six or seven years ago
will have only slight preference.
For it is pointd out that military
methods since that time have under
gone a radical change. that training
gained at that time is no longer of
special value. SO the handicap TO
the unframed man has been removed.
1t is pointed out, also, that the
men who are particularly desired in
this new camp are those of the age
OF twenty-five years and over. Al.
though there has been considerable
emphasis laid on the needs for men
OF more mature age, the War Depart
nent does not want to infer that the
younger men are not welcome. In
fact. quite the contrary is the case
For there are many very desirable
commissions for which the younger
and men more active, physically, can
qualify more successfully than those
OF greater years, and this is being
given full consideration.
