ployed by the forest service were re-
quired TO patrol eight miles of fence
twice q day IN the WallOwa national

Two thousand five hundred and sixty
acres of choice land were inciOsed to
conduct experiments with a view to as
pertaining whether 1t was more advan-

E1orae Realized Danger:

An adventure in British South Afri-
ca shows the instructive foresight and
caution of a horse. A number Of
Uitenhagers went out for a two-days'
hunt. The party was OF ten guns and
after excellent sport their bag totaled
IS buck. One OF the huntsmen, re-
turning to Aldo at dusk had an adven-
ture with an elephant. He was on
horseback and was riding quickly
along the road, when his horse camo
to an abrupt stand then suddenly
veered round and bolted. A boy who
was also mounted, argued that 1t was
probably an OK In the road. and went
OF In front. On reaching the spot they
were confronted by q big bull ele-
phAnt. whose attitude was of such q
fighting nature that they decided to
return and complete their journey to
Aldo by another road.

LOOK ON WORRY As ENEMY
VIII Wear Out Brains and Nerves
Quicker Than Can Any Process
Of Mental Action.

Remember that worry is the arch
enemy OF the nerve force. Remember
that some Of our great men have
worked out the greatest problems OF
earth. and have yet retained q nervous
pOise that has been proof against the
strains which they have borne. Re-
member that bruins and nerves are not
worn out through intensity OF mental
action. They are worn out. rather, be-
cause we keep them In act On when
they should be resting. writes Arthur
S. Craig In the OsteopathIc magazine.
II we concentrate the mind on its
tasks and. when they are laid aside,
can control IL to the extent that we
can relax and bring the mind back to
lighter things; If we can allow 1t to
throw or its burdens and forget them
for a time. and then see that no strain
is too long continued, we need not fear
mental overwork.
Instead of this kind OF care we often
deprive ourselves of the sleep needed
to rebuild the nervous system; we pol
son the nerves by the things that we
take into the body as food we whip
them into increased activity with slim
ulants. In short, we impose upon the
nervous system burdens which 1t is not
reasonable to suppose this system
would be able to bear, and then when
things go wrong we grumble and throw
the blame on the great Architect of
our being. Instead, let us set about
to remodel and rebuild according to
the laws which he has given us, and
thereby achieve that which we should
possess, a poised, balanced and healthy
life.

OWE WEALTH TO PETROLEUM
Hast Fortunes Of OH Kings All Have
Had Their Foundation In That
Substance.

Oil is one OF the financial backbones
OF the world. There are more oil kings
than any other kings-barring royalty.
Yet multimillionalres, whose money
came from oil. owe their fortunes to
the mother oil, petroleum. BY this Ii
is meant that petroleum is the basis of
nine-tenths Of the oils other than vege-
table oils.
Petroleum comes from the earth q
LIQUID substance. It Is then run into
huge tanks. where 1t is vaporized, the
product of the process being collected.
This product Is petrol. The substance
left In the tanks IL vapOFized by the
same process only under greater heat,
and what is collected and condensed Is
parafin.
Paraffin and petrol are the two light
est oils, and for this reason they are
the first to be obtained. They are also
known as the ''Inflammable oils" and,
as such, far the two most important
oils In existence. When these have been
extracted the heavier oils are driven
on. Firstly the thin, then the thick
lubricants.
The residue, on cooling OF, forms
| solid paraffin. Another substance OBJ
tanned from petroleum In naphtha
/ There are huge petroleum wells In
| Russia and America. in both places
the oils are extracted at the wells and
are conveyed through underground
pipes 10 the sea. where they are
shipped away. The longest oil pipe Ii
about forty miles in length.
