It lsn't Eoolproos.

Crowds who had gathered to wit
ness an intercollegiate boat race on
the Housatonic river in Connecticut
recently also saw a young man and
woman drowned by the overturning
OF a canoe which had 3entured into
the wash Of fast motorboat.
The canoe is an invention Of uur
first families-the American Indiana.
1t is absolutely unrivaled for trav-
ersing inland waterways. where shall
low water may be met or portages
required. For lack OF such native
contrivance many large rivers In
South America remain unexplored to
this day. Portaging a waterlogged
'dugout' weighing 1000 pounds or
more Is apt to discourage any party
not having Roosevelt at it's head.
Yes, the canoe is the first great
American invention. But it can never
be made foolproof.-Rochester Times

PREPAREDNESS PAYS.

There is only one way to keep the
will active and that is by exercising
it. The will is like the muscles, for
even the finest of athletes soon gets
out of condition unless he exer-
cises. A man ought to do every day
something that he does not care to
do, just for the sake Of exercising
his will. That sort of exercise keeps
it in condition, ready for the harder
things of life when they occur, and,
above all, prepared for emergency
that may spring up. The doctrine
of preparedness is much better UNI
derstood now than it was at the be-
ginning Of last year. 1t is as true
for the individual as the nation. 1t
may cost good deal of time and en-
ergy and money, but it saves in the
end.-American Magazine.

GIVES WARNING TO MINERS
Weishman Has Invented Machine
Which instantly Detects Presence
OF Much.Feared Methane Gas.

A young Welsh professor in Lon
don has recently perfected an inven-
ton with which he hopes to relieve
considerably the mine worker from
the fear of methane gas. The little
instrument has been appropriately
named the "methanephone," says
Coal Age, which goes on to say:
''It consists of small wooden box
about nine inches in height, contain
ing an electric battery. At the top
of the box is fuse head cap upon
which a tiny light always glows from
the battery beneath. As soon as a
certain low percentage of methane
gas enters the workings its presence
causes tiny explosion in the fuse
head, the explosion in turn melting
a fine wire filament, which starts a
bell to ringing continuously. The
men in the vicinity are thus notified
that gas has made it's appearance
and can take the necessary precau-
tions. Officials of the Miners fed
Grafton of Great Britain have wit
messed effective tests of the methane-
phone.

DWAafED By BIGGER EVENTS
Loss Of British Warship, win All
Hands, Comparatively insignificant
Item Of News Now.

Maybe you did rot notice it. Afte,
all, it was such little paragraph
a meager four lines:
'One of H. NJ. destroyers sank tie
other morning, as a result of a colli-
sion in foggy weather. All hands
are missing, presumably drowned"
It was such little thing-today.
Four years ago it would have filled
the front page of the paper, observes
the Montreal Star. We would have
had pictures of the officers and
graphic stories by survivors, with an
editorial of the loss the empire. had
sustained by the sudden passing Of
these promising lives.
Such little thing, but out Of the
murk of clammy fog there screams
the agonized call of the steamers
siren. A frenzied shout or two, a
crash as a bulkhead gives way and a
gurgling of water-that is all. True,
on the quivering decks there stand
a few figures in great sea boots and
heavy coats shouting brave orders as
the mist-wreathed waters wrap them
in their embrace.
Such little thing. Eighty men
have been blotted out. They have
died more horrible death than any
soldiers, save perhaps those who
perish by poison gas. Little lonely
figures in a great universe of dark
ness. They have passed out of his
tory and are buried in the sea they
love. The record of their brave deeds
is a four-line paragraph.
Such a little thing!

The object Of making standards for
poultry is the same as the object OF
making standards Of weight, volume,
or quality for any product or commod-
ity; that is, to secure uniformity and
establish q series of grades as basis
Of trading in the article.
In making standards for poultry
which apply in the process of produc.
ton the principal points considered
are size, shape and color.
Size and shape are breed characters
and largely determine the practical
values Of poultry. Many standard
breeds are divided into varieties differ
ing In color, but identical in every
other respect.
Color is not primary utility point.
but as secondary point often comes
In for special consideration. For ex-

The maskinonge is a species OF
pike known in works on natural his
tory by the Latin name "Esox estor."
The fish is found in the Great Lakes
and the st. Lawrence river and in
several lakes and rivers adjacent
thereto. The name is variously
spelled - maskinonge, mascalonge,

lunge or longe. As one Of the ear
