REINDEER OF THE FAR NORTH
Years Ago From Labrador Have
Greatly increase in,Numbers.

Though perhaps most of us, young
and old, associate reindeer chiefly with
Santa's juggling bells, still there are.
besides the dear, familiar phantom
reindeer, the very real reindeer who
are serving Il very real and much
needed mission among the people of
the far North, among whom DR.. Will
fred T. Grenfell works and lives his
life of brOtherly aid and uplift,, Mary
NJ. Davis writes in Our Dumb Animals.
About six years ago Doctor Grenfell
imported from Labrador herd of rein
deer, number about 400, which during
their six years in Newfoundland have
increased to somewhere between 700
and 1000. The idea of bringing them
from their native Lapland was sug-
gested to Doctor Grenfell by the great
abundance of reindeer moss in New
foundalnd. The reasons for the eX-
pertinent are many and far reaching.
The reindeer are valuable, not only
for their rich and delicious milk
which would be q boon indeed to the
dwellers of that northern part of New
foundland in which Doctor Grenfell
TOrkS-but also are invaluable as
beasts Of burden. In every way they
are as well adapted to the require
mentS of the North as are the komatik
dogs, which in many ways are an alb
sulute menace to the development of
the country

Glass Eve That Moves,

Capt. ]. L. Aymard, a British army
surgeon, describes in the Lancet an
improved glass eye which can move.
The chief drawbacks to the ordinary
glass eye are that, being simply a con-
vex shell of glass, 1t tends to sink
back into the socket and is fixed in q
stony stare. Captain Aymard gets
over these difficulties by placing in
the socket of the eye a sphere of liv
ing cartilage or gristle taken without
risk from the patients ribs. 1t is all
one operation. While one surgeon re-
moves the destroyed eye, another sur
geOn removes the pieces of cartilage
from near the patients breasthOne.
Two pieces are made into little
globe. which is placed in the socket
and the thin outer covering of the eye,
the cOniunctiva. is sewn over to hold
it in place. The ordinary glass eye
shell is inserted over this and is pre-
vented from sinking backwards. Some
movement Of the eye by the wearer Is
said to be possible.

MAJOR GARDNER
DIES IN ARMY CAMP
Man Who Out Con. rsSs to En-
list Victim Of Pneumonia.

Washington, Jan. 15.-MajOr Augu
tus ?. Gardner, of Hamilton, Mass.
died at the Camp Wheeler base hos
pital after short illness from pneu
monia.
After continuous service OF fifteen
years as representative from the fiji h
congressional district of MaSSachu
sets, Augustus P Gardner resigna
last year, when war was declared, IL
inter- the United States army. FO'
years he had fought for national PEE
paredness, for a bigger army and a
bigger navy, and when this country
became involved in hostilities he gave
prompt and practical demonstration
of his patriotism.
In the Spanish-American war he
served as captain and assistant adju
tant general on the staff of Genel a
James H Wilson, and thereafter wag,
ed a determined fight in and out OF
congress for the development of
American military and naval forces
After joining the army last year,
Major Gardner was commissioned a
colonel, but at his own request, he
was reduced to major, that he might
be sent to France for active service
in the field This, his friends said,
was characteristic of the man and in
keeping with the doctrine he long had
preached in favor of universal mill
tary service without thought Of per,
sonal reward or favor.

WEEKLY DATA ON MORTALITY
Statistics of Principal Cities Now Is
sued Regularly by the United
States Census Bureau.

A weekly circular giving the mortali-
ty statistics of the principal cities of
the United States is now issued regu-
larry by the United States census bu-
Tg1Tu, says the Scienffnc American. It
gives the total number of deaths re-
ported (stillbirths excluded), the death
rate per thousand, number of deaths
of infants under one year of age, and
the proportion of infant deaths to total
deaths.
The cities for which data are given
include One-fifth the population of the
country. Thus the circular is fairly
accurate index to the state of the ma
tons health. Its uses are manifold.
1t will show local health authorities
how their home towns stand in COM
parison with other towns in respect to
mortality and when town has a bad
record the publicity given to the fact
should spur the authorities to seek the
cause and remove it. Insurance COM
panies will find the reports of interest
The circular is issued in Washington
every Tuesday, and is distributed free
of charge.

Make Your Own Fat Compound.

Many folks object to paying the pres
ent high price for lard, but realize that
t the price of hogs and with the prob
bile future demand it is unlikely that
he price will be reduced soon. 1t be-
ZONES important, then, TO find a cheap
n satisfactory substitute. DR.. Louise
Stanley of the Missouri college of ag
|.iculture, suggests that housewives
consider suet as source of cheap fat,
'Euet has not been as extensively used
rs lard on account of its harder con-
sistency. 1t can be obtained at about
10 cents a pound. From this can be
obtained IA ounces of pure fat at a
cost of y cents a pound. In order to
bring this to the consistency of lard
it is only necessary to add oil in the
proportion of one of oil to two parts
of suet. This gives a compound fat
which is very satisfactory for general
use. Cottonseed oil or corn
oil can now be obtained at about p
cents a pound. On the basis of the
above proportions a satisfactory lard
substitute can be had at cost Of 10
cents a pound.

SOWING TREE SEED IN SNOW
National Forests of the Country Are
Planted Each Year to Make
Bare Land Productive.

To keep the national forests of the
United States, which are scattered
from Alaska to Porto Rico, up to
standard, 1900 to $1,000 acres have
to be reforested or planted each year.
The bare lands must be made produc
tive and the thin stands of wood must
be improved. To do this requires an
immense amount of labor.
Companies of men travel over these
forests, sowing the seed broadcast over
the snow in the various barren Sec
lions. AS the snow melts the seed
sinks deeper and deeper and when the
snow disappears entirely the seed is
already covered over with sufficient
dirt to give 1t a bed in which to grow.
The chief disadvantage of the meth
cd, according to a contributor to one
of the scientific publications, is that
the seed is conspicuous on snow and
likely to be eaten by birds. After
few days of sunshine it soon disap-
pears from view.
