Railway Journeys of Iona Aqo.

1t was only the adventurous who
dared to face railway journey in
1923. A writer of that time comment
ing on the proposed line to Woolwich,
remarked, 1--WE would as soon expect
the people of Woolwich to suffer them
selves to be fired off upon one of Con-
greve's rockets as trust themselves to
the mercy of such a machine going at

sparks emitted from the engine. Sec
ond class passengers were kindly ad-
vised to provide themselves with gauze
spectacles and to sit as far from the
engine as possible. London Spectator.

He had heard merely the report of the

Man More Liquid Than Solid.

Every fiber and every cell that enters
into the formation of living body is
bathed in moisture, by which means
alone these ultimate elements are kept
alive and are enabled to carry out
their duties. Even the bones, which
appear to be the most solid Of all, owe
more than half their weight to the
presence of fluid. That our bodies con-
tain large amount Of fluid is proved
in striking manner by. the blisters
which rise after the infliction of a burn.
Water, in fact, plays very important
part in the human anatomy, for it is
through its agency that the vital pro-
cesses of digestion, absorption and the
excretion of waste products are car
ried out. To reduce the whole matter
to figures and taking 154 pounds to be
the total weight of an average full
grown man, it is said that water alone
accounts for 100 pounds of the whole.

motion and wrote long letter, but
life had rubbed little sense into me,
and l kept that letter in my pocket

Washinuson's Tomb,

At the late date OF 1927 a wish ex-
pressed by General Washington in his
will was obeyed. He had called at
tention to his selection Of a spot for
a new tomb for himself and family
and those of the family already buried
in the old vault. The old tomb was
disadvantageously situated on the side
Of a hill which was subject to land
slides. For the new vault he specified
not only the spot, but also dimensions
and materials According to these, his
own plans, tomb was built, and his
and Mrs. Washington's bodies were
transferred to it, along with the re-
mains in the old vault Of other men,
bers of the family. The latter were
buried together within the vault, out
or sight, while the bodies of General
and Mrs. Washington are in stone cof-
fins above the ground, within plain
view between the slender bars Of a
grated iron doorway. 1t is for this
reason that the most illustrious Of our
dead has so simple a mausoleum-
obedience to his wish.

Radium Cures Cancer.

Practically all experimenters have
demonstrated one basic fact-that ra-
dium does destroy cancer cells without
producing any disintegrating effect
upon normal tissue. The radium mole
eule is the only agent known to man
which succeeds in doing this. OF that
supremely important fact there is no
longer the slightest room for doubt
that is to say, if the radium rays could
be brought to bear upon every cancer
cell this scourge would vanish from the
world. The reasons that its use does
not always succeed are many and too
intricate for description in this place.
But the records of so many positive
cures are now available, cures of can
GERS usually regarded as hopeless and
inoperable, that we must finally con-
clude that medical science has obtained
a powerful weapon in it's struggle with
this disease.-WOrld's Work.

MEANING OF HORSEPOWER.
And How a Person In Lifting Weight
May Expend That Force.

1t has been estimated that to lift $50
pounds one foot in one second requires
what is known as one horsepower.
Similarly horsepower is able to raise
twice that weight one foot in twice the
time or One-half foot in just that time.
Moreover, it can raise half $50 pounds
one foot in half second or two feet In
a second, and so ON. Therefore, if
you lift one-quarter of that weight,
1879 pounds, four feet in one second
you are exerting horsepower.
Accordingly, when a person who
weighs 1872 pounds runs upstairs at
the rate of four feet a second he is eX-
erting the equivalent of horsepower.
For man weighing twice that much,
275 pounds, it would be necessary to
climb at the rate of only two feet a
second to exert q horsepower.
Ii is possible to do much more. AS a
matter of fact, horse often eXerts
many times d horsepower. The aver
age horse can draw wagon up a hill
where ten horsepower engine with
the same load would fail A horse
power does not represent the greatest
momentary strength of the average
horse, but is a measure of the power
which he can exert continuously

In the early days Of missions in Per

ciOus of the missionaries and were con-
stantly on the lookout for something in
their houses which would exert bale.
full influence upon native visitors. A
Persian lady, calling one day on an
American missionary lady, wished tc
sit in a rocking chair, which was some
thing she had never seen before. She
got up into it with her feet and at
tempted to squat upon her heels, as
she would have done upon the floor
with the result that she and the chair
both took a tumble backward. Hence
there went abroad a report that the
missionaries kept in their houses ma
chine for converting people to Chris

THROWING THE DART.
Venice and Cork, For Different Res.
sons, Observe This Old Custom.


In widely differing c,.-as,c.ities--
Venice and Cork-there obtains u curl
Gus ceremony, that of throwing the
dart.
In the first case this is an ancient
custom signifying the marriage of the
Adriatic. Every year since 1177, on
Ascension day, Venice has been made
the bride of the sea. and the throwing
of the dart is a picturesque feature of
a picturesque ceremony.
Equally interesting are the circum-
stances attaching to the similar func-
ton on the first Thursday of Septem-
Der in Cork harbor, Ireland. BY virtue
of a clause in the city charter the
mayor of Cork is constituted admiral
Of the port Every three years IN must
evidence his jurisdiction by throwing
dart into the sea.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon the
mayor, the town council, all the civic
officers and the band of the Cork civil
artillery embark on a vessel and pro-
ceed to point between Poor head and
Cork head, which is held to be the
maritime boundary Of the borough
The mayor dons his official robes and,
attended by the mace and sword bearer,
the city treasurer and the town clerk,
likewise wearing their official robes,
goes to the Prov Of the vessel and
launches into the sea a dart made of
mahogany tipped and winged with
bronze, in this way asserting his au-
thority as lord high admiral Of the

Directions For Making
Laundry Soap at Home

A good grade Of laundry soap can be
made in the home from drippings, ran
cid oils and fats that ordinarily are
wasted. Homemade laundry soap may
be made by using seven pounds Of
solid fat and a pound Of lye dissolved
in eleven cupfuls of water.
Clarity sCd strain the fat and allow
to harden. The fat is warmed enough
to melt it and the lye solution stirred
in until the mixture becomes creamy
mass. 1t is then poured into molds to
harden. This makes firm soap for
general kitchen use at small cost.
All small pieces of soap should be
saved and kept free from dirt and dust.
When sufficient number has accumu.
lated it can be made into soap Jelly or
solution. This can be used for dish
washing, woodwork, soaking clothes,
washing 6annels-if made from neu-
tral soap-and scrubbing.
One bar soap or it's equivalent in
small pieces may be added to two or
three quarts of water in the prepara-
ton of soap solution. Shave the soap
and put into saucepan with cold water.
Heat gradually for an hour until the
soap is dissolved. A tablespoonful of
ammonia, turpentine or kerosene may
be added If desired.
One bar soap or the equivalent in
small pieces and a quart Of water is
recommended in the preparation OF
soap jelly.
Commercial washing powders and
cleaning agents are wasteful and ex
pensive. A good liquid cleaning and
bleaching agent can be made in the
home easily by the use Of pound sal
soda dissolved in a quart of boiling
water and one-fourth pound of chic
ride of lime added to a quart of colo
water. Mix thoroughly. Let stand fol
several hours. Pour off the clear liq
uid. Bottle and keep in cool place.

ment and Stability.
No steam boiler is safe without its
provision against overpressure. A per-
fectly even application of its power to
the work it is doing is not possible
All through mechanics runs this same
necessity Of safeguarding against the
surplus Of force which must be generat-
ed to accomplish the work which the
machine is set to do. The safety valve
for steam power and the fuse for elec-
trio circuits are mechanical essentials.
Sanity, national as well as individual,
demands balance. 1t demands men and
women who unite with special practical
efficiency in producing an equal skill
and wisdom in using products. The
most vitally important question of our
immediate future is not what wealth
and leisure can we achieve as an aver
age for our people, but what shall we
do with the wealth and leisure which
as an average we do secure.
1t is assumed in our educational
thought that with more money and
leisure will come more contentment and
stability. These will only come to a
people prepared to secure and under

their pupils this preparation we shall

VENOMOUS SEA SNAKES.
Gaudy Colored Serpents of the Indian
and Pacific Oceans.


Innumerable sea snakes, most of
which are highly venomous, infest the
waters of the Indian ocean and the
western Pacific.
Nearly all of them differ from the
land serpents by the laterally 1attened
and oarlike shape Of the tail and also
by the scales Of the under surface of
the body. When cast ashore acct
dentally the majority are quite help
less and soon die, for they are unadapt-
ed for getting about ON land. Three
species, however, differ from the ma
jority of the sea snakes. One of the
most common kind is a three foot
snake that lives in the waters from
the Bay Of Bengal to Oceania. This
species easily crawls ON land and
sometimes makes journeys of a consid-
erable distance inland
Most of the sea snakes have brilliant
colorings. They feed on fish and other
ly active. In length they vary from
about two feet to as much as ten or
twelve feet. Sea snakes also differ
from land snakes in the shortness of
the tongue. In their natural element
they thrust only the extreme tip of this
organ through two small notches in
the closed mouth. They have compara-
lively small nostrils, placed on top of
the snout and furnished with valve
that opens to admit air and that closes
to exclude water when the reptile is
beneath the surface
