Ship OF Mystery.

The manufacture OF large part of
machinery to replace anything broken
is almost impossible in the limited
space of the battleship's machine
shops. But wOndrous feats are per-
formed i'm the repair ships that ac-
company fleets on stations remote from
dock facilities, states British war
correspondent.
The repair ship is a huge floating
smithy and machine shop packed with
everything that the wit of man can
concentrate into the space for treating
wounded battleships. These ships en-
plOy some of the best artificers from
our naval dock yards, and are scat
tered in every quarter In which the
British fleet Is stationed remote from
dock facilities. The BOche has moth
Ing like them, and 1t has been stated
that no inquisitive Boche has ever
been allowed to intrude his nose
aboard one to investigate its myster-
les and take the information to his
employers Of how the strange feats
performed by the repair ship are eff
fected. The repair ship is the abode
of secrets.

Sunlight DISTRESSING.

In addition to the wind there is an
other popularity of the inland Ice
which adds to the difficulties to be
encountered in the Arctic. That is the
extreme intensity Of the sunlight,
which can be realized only by those
who have experienced 1t. During the
summer months the sun shines as
brightly there In clear weather as any
where further south, and this contin-
uous brilliancy is intensified hun
dredfOld by the reflection from endless
fields Of glistening. sparkling snow,
unrelieved by single object. The
strongest eyes can stand such blind
Ing glare only few hours without
protection. We always wore heavy
smoked glasses, and when In camp
found it impossible to sleep without
still further protecting the eyes by
tying narrow band of fur about them
to exclude the light. Only when a
storm Is brewing does this intense
light become subdued. At such times,
however, the sky and snow take on a
peculiar gray, Opaque light which is
even more trying than the sunlight

Ever See a Dingonek?

The dlngonek Is huge, unclassilied
aquatic monster, says the Wide World
Magazine. 1t resembles in many of its
characteristics the extinct dinOsaur, IA
huge reptile of the Mesozoic period, fos-
sils of which have been discovered by
psychologists In the sandstone strata
both of the African and American con-
tinents. 1t lives in Lake Victoria Ny
ANA and Its numerous tributaries and
there is no record of the monster hav-
Ing been seen in any other part of the
world. Whether ii is descendant of
one of the huge prehistoric saurians
that has by process of adaptation
living as it does in impenetrable re-
gions far away from the encroachments
of civilized man-continued with but
slight notifications through prodigious
ages to the present time, or whether il
Is an unclasslfied reptile or amphibian,
II is equally impossible to say, as no
specimen exists either of its bones or
Of Its skin. That this monster does ex-
list, however, there can be no particle
of doubt, as the testimony of authori-
tative eyewitnesses cannot be reason
ably dlscredited.

WILL BACK UP THE
BOYS At THE FRONT
Written for the Liberty Loan oresnI.
xation Of the Eighth Federal
Reserve District.

BY MILDRED 8. McFADEN.
We are backing up the boys at the
front,
Our soldier boys, the flower of our
youth,
Who answered Freedoms call
And are gladly giving all
For liberty, for justice and for truth.
We are working for our heroes at the
front,
Who nobly bear the brunt of shot
and shell.
For, backed by love untold,
And bullets made of gold,
They will rescue all the world from
German He'll.
We are backing up our sailors on
the sea,
So CALAMITY a-standing by their guns,
Mid perils of the deep
Where deadly U-boats creep
To do the baneful bidding of the Huos |!
We are backing up our birdmen at
the front,
Whose dauntless souls no sense of
fear can know.
Patrolmen of the sky,
Ger hostile lines they fly
To guard the guns on firing line"
below.
We are backing up our service at
the front,
Where toll of pain doth mark each
victory won,
That nurse with Cross Of Red
May hover DER each bed
To soothe and comfort every mothers
son.
We are backing UP our colors at the
front. ...........
Old Glory shall never brook disgrace.
o lift it high and higher,
That its message may inspire
A spirit of world-freedom for the race.
To back our allied forces at the front
Is the urge Of our Liberty Loan
campaigns.
Each Liberty Bond we hold
Is a handicap of gold
To bind the Beast forevermore In
chains.
Bring your tithes into my store.

HALFWAY WORK DEGRADING
Should Confess Our Poverty or Parsi-
mony, But Not Belle Our Human
Intellect, Says Writer.

We are, none of us, wrote RuSkin,
so good architects as to be able to
work habitually beneath our strength;
and yet there is not a building that l
know of, lately raised, wherein it is
not sufficiently evident that neither
architect nor builder has done his
best. 1t is the especial characteristic
of modern work. All old work nearly
has been hard work. 1t may be the
hard work of children, of barbarians,
of rustics; but it is always their ut
most. Let us have done with this kind
of work at once; cast off every temp
tatiOn to it; do not let us degrade our
selves voluntarily, and then mutter
and mourn over our shortcomings; let
us confess our poverty or our parsi-
mony, but not belle our human intel
lect. 1t Is not question Of doing
more, but of doing better. Do not let
us boss our roofs with wretched, half
worked, blunt-edged rosetteg; do not
let us flank our gates with rigid imita-
lions of medieval statuary. Such
things are mere insults to common
sense, and only unfit us for feeling the
nobility of their prototypes.

Stopping the Ex.Czars Express.

The ex-czarina's belief in the I'M
speakable Rasputin proves that she
was Of a strongly superstitious turn
OF mind, and she Is generally regarded
as the true maker of the revolution in
Russia, but an incident which occurred
whilst the ex-czar was travelling from
PetrOgrad to Moscow proves that the
superstition Is not all on her side.
1t appears, says writer, that the
ex-czar wears ring In which he be-
lieves is embedded fragment Of the
true cross. 1t was originally one of
the treasures Of the Vatican and was
presented to one of the cars prede-
cessors for diplomatic reasons. The
value he places on this suppOsitious
relic was proved when he accidentally
left 1t behind him when travelling to
Moscow. He had the train stopped
instantly, a special express chartered,
and trusty messenger sent post-haste
back to fetch the missing ring, nor
would he allow the train to bulge an
inch till his messenger returned. hours
afterward, with the relic! @g.A

citizen, given in his own words,
should convince the most skeptical
about the merits of Doan's Kidney
Pills. If you suffer from backache,
nervousness, sleeplessness, urinary

use a tested kidney medicine.
A Hartford citizen tells of Doan's
Kidney Pills.
Could you demand more convinc-
ing proof of merit?
Lorenza Acton, Pike St., Hartford,
says: 81 have suffered with back
ache and pains across my kidneys,
and have found that Doan's Kidney
Pills regulate my kidneys and help
my back whenever I get this way.
I consider Doan's Kidney Pills a re-
liable kidney medicine

SET AN EXAMPLE OF HONESTY


The man in the corner seat looked

ductor when he comes around? ! have
been trying to catch his eye, but he APP
parently does not see me. Will you see
that he gets it?"
The woman sat bewildered In the
presence Of such extraordinary hon
esty, but she good-naturedly accepted
the trust. After the man left the car,
she, too, attempted to establish line
of communication with the conductor,
but failed. She was nearing her own
destination, but conscience forbade
her leaving the car until her neigh
boris fare had been paid. Before that
feat was accomplished she had been
carried four blocks past her street.
When she finally got home her temper
was slightly damaged.
"But you shouldn't have been so ac-
commodating," said her husband. You
should have got off at your corner"
But how could II" the woman ar
gued. "With that mans honesty be-
fore me as an example of right living
l simply had to turn his nickel over to
the conductor"
Maybe you are right" said the man
admiringly. "Women certainly do have
fine notions about these things. But
1t Is too bad. You had to walk back"
"Oh, no, l didn't walk" she said. 81

"And that cost you another nickel"
"No, it didn't" she said. "The con-
ductor never. even looked my way
when he came through, and l got off
without having to pay"
