Berries That Renewed vioor.

Toward the middle Of the fifteenth
century, it is related, poor Arab was
travelling in Abyssinia. Finding him
self weak and weary, he stopped near
grove. For fuel wherewith to cook
his rice, he cut down a tree that hap
pened to be covered with dried berries.
His meal being cooked and eaten, the
traveller discovered that these half
burnt berries were fragrant. He col
lected q number of them, and, on
crushing them with a stone, found that
the aroma was increased to a great
extent. While wondering at this, he
accidentally let the substance fall into
a can that contained his scanty supply
of water. A miracle! The almost pu-
trid water was purified. He brought
it to his lips; it was fresh and agree
able; and after a short rest the travel
er so far recovered his strength and
energy as to be able to resume his
journey. The lucky Arab gathered as
many berries as he could, and, having
arrived at Alden, Informed the mufti
of his discovery. That worthy was an
inveterate opium smoker, who had
been suffering for years from the in
fluence Of the poisonous drug. He
tried an infusion of the roasted berries,
and was so delighted at the recovery
of his former vigor that in gratitude
to the tree he called it camuha, which
in Arabic signifies force"

Tom, many minutes of cropping about,
he put his hand out and found Molly's

that time Molly's uncle had found Mat

1t took a great deal Of explaining
to reveal the fact that the minister's
maid on returning from the village
had brought back the news. that there
was a light In the Red Cross head

Special Finqer.Print Camera.

For police officers and others who
have need of getting tinger-prlnt evil
dence from material that cannot be
preserved or removed from its environ
ment, a special camera has been per-
fected. 1t takes a photograph of the
finger-print wherever it may be. In
operating the camera no Photographic
skill or experience nor even a tripod
is necessary. The camera is held tight
against the surface of the door, ceiling
wallpaper or whatever the finger-print
has been made. The shutter release
lever is then pressed down; this au-
tOmatically closes the circuit to the
four lamps inside the camera and thus
lights them, providing the illumination
for the exposure. The necessary cur
rent is provided by storage batteries
inside the camera.-Popular Science

Communication by Flags.

American officer instructed his lady

flags of varied colors. Cooper, with a
novelist's freedom, made his charac.

been extensively experimental with in
the British and French navies. For
after much experimenting combina-
tions of flags Oh various shapes and
colors were gradually developed into
what we call "code" today. Prob
ably the most famous flag signal ever
flown was Nelson's at Trafalgar, but
it required a great number of combina-

nically called) to spell out: England
expects that every man will do hif

the man who can assimilate within a

kind Of work is also the man who can
keep his mental and physical poise un-

are, therefore, discouraged from study
ing subjects ahead of time with the
particular purpose of passing examina-

the curriculum presuppOses a certain
amount Of previous knowledge and
sound intelligence, for the instructor
cannot stop to teach candidate the

The men are rushed. And the war
won't wait.
