One of the commonest Affections
among dogs is rheumatism. 1t often
seizes upon them in their early puppy
days and carries them through weeks
of torture, in which their limbs be-

joints become swollen and infiamed,
and only with the greatest pain may
the dog move at all. While the best
methods of combating the disease are
preventive methods, such as good hous-

Why One Can See Better in
Moderate Than Bright Light.

An observant chauffeur, passing an
automobile with glaring headlights,
noted that objects at the side of the
road which had been distinctly visible
dropped out of sight when the bright
lights were thrown upon themI Since
one can see better in little light than
i'm no light. he wondered, why can one
not see better in bright light than in
moderate light?
The answer is, paradoxically. that
the less light there is the better one
sees. for the brighter the object the
less efficient is the eyesight. IT. after
we have been in darkness, we suddenly
turn on a bright light and look at our
ewes in the mirror, we can see the pupil
of the eve rapidly growing smaller. III
we reduce the light the pupil dilates
again. What happens is the same as
in the camera when we adjust the shut
ter TO the intensity of the light.
The colored iris of the eye CORE
spends to the shutter. 1t consists chief
ly of a muscle which, as the light in
creases. is stimulated to contract, thus
drawing the curtain and shutting out
some Of the superfiuous light. 1t usual
Nv takes at few seconds for this adjust
ment to take place. Thus when we
emerge from darkness into light we are
blinded until the iris can shut out some
of the light from the eyes.

The Road O. Dreams.

Out on the edge Of the work a-day sphere,
Far out from the course of time,
Where the silvered light of the moon

The vesper caII-bells chime,

Luring with schemes,
You TO the road O dreams
And wild and free are thoughts that arise
In breasts of pilgrims there
And bold is the message flashed from the
skies:

Only what seems
Sheds golden CLEANS

Few of it's sweets are real
Compared to joys that are ever at hand

Daily at eventide,
Knowing our souls will be soaring to view
Joys our flesh is denied.

of heat is used, less time will be re-
quired. Materials which are denser
than water (sugar strip as used in
cooking dried fruit, and therefore
can be heated to a higher degree, will
keep up the temperature longer when
put into the cooker. Thus the density
of the food material, as we'll as the
amount and the length of time that
the apparatus retains the heat, must
be taken into consideration in deter
mining how long different materials
must be cooked in the cooker.
The recipes for dishes to be pre-
pared in the fireless cooker differ
somewhat from those for foods cooked
in the ordinary way, chiefly in the
amount of water or other liquids call
ed for. Less liquid should be put into
the food to be prepared in an ordi-
nary fireless cooker. since there is no
chance for water to evapOrate. The
cook must be guided largely by expe-
rience in deciding how long the food
should be heated before being put into
the cooker and how long it should be
allowed to remain there.

House Building in Bermuda
Simple and Cheap Process

When q native of Bermuda decides
that he wants TO build house he goes
TO some quarry where the soft rich,
creamy coral sandstone has been
stripped of its thin earth covering, and
begins saving. He, or someone en-
ployed by him, with a long, coarse
toothed saw. cuts out blocks of stone
measuring about two feet long, one
foot wide and six inches thick. AS
soon as he has quarried enough of
these blocks he allows them to stand
in the open air for few weeks to-
harden, for when first cut they are az
full of holes as a Swiss cheese and
almost as soft, Joseph Laren writes
in st. Nicholas. The hardening
period over, the blocks are placed one
on top Of another to form the walls,
and one beside another on q support
ing framework, overlapping a little at
their upper and lower edges to make
the roof.
When the building has been erected
the Bermudian covers his outside walls
and roof with thick coat of white
wash, which hides all the cracks and
joints and holes in the stone and gives
the house a smooth, beautiful finish,
which is very pleasant to the eye, and
just as pleasant to the sense of touch.
Even the big chinneys, the porches
and the fences are built of the same
stone.
The white roofs have another inn
portant office, for the rain that falls
upon them, as it runs off, is caught and
led into cisterns. 1t is easy to under
stand how important this is when one
learns that there are no streams or
wells in Bermuda, and that the island
ers are thus entirely dependent on
those cisterns for their water supply,

laga grapes), hay, excelsior, Spanish
moss, WOOL and crumpled paper may
also be used satisfactorily. OF the
inexpensive materials that can be OBJ
tanned easily, crumpled paper is prob
ably the most satisfactory, since 1t is
clean and odorless and, If properly
packed, will hold the heat better than
some of the others. To pack the con-
tainer with paper, crush single sheets
of newspaper between the hands. Pack
q layer at least 4 inches deep over
the bottom of the outside container,
tramping it in pounding it in with
heavy stick of wood. Stand the con-
tainer for the cooking vessel, or the
lining for the nest in the center of
this layer and pack more crushed pa
pers about it as solidly as possible. If
other packing, such as excelsior, hay,
or cork dust, is used, 1t should be pack
ed In similar way. Where an extra
source of heat is TO be used, 1t is
much safer TO pack the fireleSs cooker
with some non-inflammable material,
such as asbestos or mineral wool. A
cheap and easily obtained substitute
is the small cinders sifted from coal
ashes, preferably those from soft coal,
which may be obtained at the boiler
house of any mill. The cinders from
hard coal burned in the kitchen range
will do. however. Experiments with
this material made by home-economics
specialists of the department of agri-
culture showed that it is very nearly
as satisfactory as crumpled paper as
a packing material. If fireproof
packing material is not used a heavy
pad of asbestos paper should be put at
the bottom of the metal nest and a
sheet or two of asbestos paper should
he placed between the lining of the
nest and the packing material. What
