Griggs sent the Pirate bnck post

Chronicle. that rocket apparatus
might he seut and the nearest lifeboat
warned.
'"The strange part was she didn't
hoot or nothing" said Griggs-"not

he likely to hear. Also took on my
Jersey and waved 1t. just to let 'cm
know help 'ud be coming. but l don't
think they saw"
Within 45 minutes Pirate returned
in company with the rocket apparatus
and Its crew.
"And whnt do you think !" exclaimed
Griges Indignantly. mt first they
wouldn't take his word for 1t up at the
station. Was he quite sure he hadn't
mnde n mistake. II you please! Just
MS II don't know a stranded steamer
when see one!'
The rocket was successfully fired
and the tnclile made fast on the stenm-
er. But crew and vessel owed their
rescue to the alternative aid brought
by the boys summons.
"when the lifeboat came up" ex-
planned Griggs, ''they passed her a
warp, and she put nn anchor out, and
the steamer hauled herself back into

They're all right to anyone used to

but never again! A mine was re-
ported ashore mile md half along
the const. Pirate wns told to hurry
there and stand watch over 1t till the
motorbont came to make 1t harmless.
There's some sand holes and deep cut
tings along the cliff. and being In too
much of hurry to see where he was
going Pirate fell into pretty near all
of them. Then he stuck the bike into
hedge and ran the rest"
"Have you ever had n mine come
ashore and explode?"
"One did. 1t made most tremen-
dous loud noise, only didn't hear II
myself, being asleep Mt the time"
"Did 1t do much damnge?"

replied Griggs judGlally. "A mans

thousand quids' worth Of broken win

MODELS OF FOOD PORTIONS
Realistic Reproduction Of Fried Eggs,
Sliced Tomatoes and Other Foods
in Special Exhibit.

The American Museum of Nat
ural History in New York city has
prepared a special exhibit to illus
trate some Of the principal problems
of food conservation that now con-
front the United States and the rest
Of the world, says the Youths Com
panion. One very interesting part
of the exhibit is number of remark
able models of food portions served
in the average restaurant, with labels
that show the energy value of each
portion in relation to its cost. They
are so natural that few of the many
visitors realize that they are arti-
fetal.
Among the materials used in the
reproductions of beefsteak, lamb
chops, potatoes, beans and ice cream
are paraffin, plaster and kind Of
Japanese seaweed known as agar.
Some of the articles are cast in
molds; others, such as the very real
istic cake Napoleon" must be made
entirely by hand. After the mold is
made the specimen is cast in wax;
then the minute defects of the cast
are tooled out and finally the perfect
casts are painted with oil colors, the
artist having the real article before
him as a model. Sliced tomatoes and
fried eggs are very hard to repro
duce because of their translucent
quality. Ice cream is made by boil
ing wax and -four together, molding
the mass into shape, then cutting it
into portions and coloring it. Choco-
late creams that look temptingly real
are made of paraffin.
About two months time was
spent preparing the exhibit, which
is designed to bring before the public
the caloric values of the various
foods commonly used. The artist,
Miss A. NJ. Renaud, has been only
three years in this country, having
had her training for the work in
Europe.

WALLS HANG FROM THE ROOF
Electric Station at christobaI, Panama
Canal Zone, Has Sides Suspended
From the Eaves.

The roof of an electric station
building recently erected at Cristo-
bal, in the Panama Canal Zone, is
supported by central columns, and
the side walls bear no weight, but
are suspended from the caves. Says
Engineering and Contracting:
I'm order to assure the electric
charging station at the Cristobal ter
minal of the Panama canal against
settlement, it was constructed with
continuous REINFORCED concrete
beam which extends the length of
the building on the center columns
and from which the sidewalks are
literally suspended by means of can
tllever beams set at intervals of ten
feet. The walls are only four inches
thick. The wall on the sea side is
made fast to the paving by means of
anchor bolts. The weight of
the building is carried on row of
columns extending along the longi-
tudinal axis, and these columns are
supported on the steel and concrete
calssons on which rests the paving
at the head of the slip. On the side
next the land the paving is support
ed on timber piles which have settled
slightly"

BEARS ATE SOLDIERS PIES
Mascots Made Raid on company's
Dessert and RighI of Way Was
Not Disputed BY Guards.

Pies, big deep ones, made from ap-
pies, were on the noon mess menu of
E Company, Forty-frst infantry, the
other day, says the st. Paul Pioneer,
but members of the company whose
tastes run to after-dinner sweets had
to patronize the candy stands at Fort
Smelling to pacify their appetites
for dessert.
1t all happened because two
'teeny, weeny" bears, unlike those
in the "Red Riding Hood" fable,
who craved porridge only, discovered
that apple pies make fairly good
luncheons even for bears.
A delivery man from local
bakery had just deposited so luscious
pies on a table outside the company
kitchen, when two baby bears, which
Carlos Avery, state game and fish
commissioner, lent the regiment for
mascots, escaped from their box cage
and started to roam beyond its pre-
cincts in search of food, fun and
frolic.
Two rockies on kitchen police
started to bring in the pies when the
young bruins had convinced them
selves that pastry is edible. The rook-
les didn't dispute the right of way or
wait to set up prior rights of their
comrades. They fled down the street,
leaving the bears in undisturbed pos
session.
Those pies which they had not
consumed were mauled and wrecked
beyond redemption.
