Curious Courtship.

Mr.. Horace Hutchinson, the natu-
ralist, relates the story, told him by q
friend, of a swan and pike, living
on and in a small piece of ornamental
water, becoming friendly. Wherever
thn swan went the pike went too,
swimming alongside the bird. When
the swan went ashore, it is not re-
lated that the pike tried to follow but
it is said that he waited beside the
bank, swimming up and down in a for
lorn, distracted way, until the swan
came back again. 1t was a subject of
some debate whether the swan return
ed the attachment, until the pike died,
and the swan was so overcome with
grief at his loss that he pinned away
and soon died also.

Artificial Arm a Wonder.

A wonderful new artificial arm which
enables man to dig, use a Sledge-
hammer and lift weights as heavy as
he could with his sound arm is being
supplied to MANNED soldiers at Roe
hampton (Eng,) hospital.
Made of aluminium and steel, it
weighs only two pounds three ounces,
and is the invention of A. G. Adams,
artificial limb expert, who is minus an
ann himself.
The forearm can be attached or de-
tached and any tool or implement can
be fixed to the wrist in an instant by
pressing a spring. The hand supplied
can be turned to one side or the other.
Demonstrations were given in which
men were seen digging, using plane,
hammer and other tools, chopping wood
with an AK, playing billiards, golf,
cricket and steering bicycle with the
artificial arm alone, and all done with
out effort.

Traffic in Chinese Canals.

The craft utilized on the canal in
Shantung, China, for transportation
are of Is varieties. For instance, a
boat that loads fish carries nothing
else; similarly with coal, etc. There
are at present $3.50 boats, with a tom
mage of $4,000, plying on the canal.
The boats have either sails or are
dragged along not by mules, but by
four. five or six native coolies, and
the loads are enormous. When the
canal is improved, the Chinese will
undoubtedly take to motor boats for
towing their native "junlss" and for
passenger traffic.

toms, like pain, tiredness or great
thirst, the patient will mention him
self.
The usual symptoms of infectious
disease include fever chill, sore throat,
discharge from the nose and eyes,
cough, headache, vomiting, loOseness
Of the bowels, or the opposite, consti-
patton; and a general feeling of being
sick all over. The presence of any
of these symptoms indicates sickness
and during an epidemic should be
closely watched. In the case of So
called Spanish influenza, the sylnp-
toms include a feeling Of weakness,
pains In the eyes, ears, head or back
and a feeling of being sore all over.
The rise in temperature is rapid, but
in most cases the pulse remains COM
paratively slow. If you have Their
mometer, and know how to use it, you
will find the temperature rises to 100
or 104 degrees. In the case of children
it sometimes rises higher.
The mouth temperature Of a healthy
person is between 9S degrees and so.
This may vary according to the time
of the day. 1t is not unusual for the
mouth temperature of a healthy per-
son to be as low as 81 degrees in the
morning, or as high as 80 in the late
afternoon. The presence Of fever is
an indication of sickness, and should
be watched.
The pulse rate of a normal man at
rest is about 70 beats a minute that
of a normal woman about so beats a
minute. To take the pulse rate, place
three fingers (not the thumb) on the
thumb side of the patients wrist and
note the exact time by the second
hand of the watch.
Any unusual changes in the face
should be especially noted; whether q
is drawn, anxious, excited, dull and
tired, swollen or puffy under eyes. The
voice is a frequent indication of weak
ness. Absence of appetite, loss Of
weight, extreme nervousness should
also be watched, and, If taken in time,
may prevent more serious trouble.
Pain is most important symptom
and should never be treated lightly. 1t
: does not occur in persons who are
well. 1t is natures danger signal.
A great many serious diseases begin
in this way, so, If someone in your
family has these symptoms, put him to
bed, shut out the bright light-this
does not mean that the room should be
dark-have plenty of fresh air in the
room and keep away visitors and other
members of the family.
Persons are not always able to go
to bed for an ordinary cold, but there
IS no doubt that they would, in the
end, save time by so doing.
Common colds sometimes spread
through an entire family, when they
could have been prevented by going
to bed, and keeping other members of
the family away.
Common colds are most contagious
when they first start. One should
avoid being near a person who shows
signs of getting cold, by sneezins,
coughing or any discharge from the
nose. This will lessen the danger Of
contracting the more serious diseases
like grippe, influenza and pneumonia,
mild cases of which may, at first, be
mistaken for an ordinary cold.
When possible call doctor the mo-
ment the person begins to feel SICK !;
then follow his directions absolutely.

own families as well as that of their

health as far as safely possible on the
shoulders of the women in the home.
There is nothing so dangerous as
amateur nursing" that is giving med
icine without the doctors orders, but
there are certain things she can safely
do for them when they are sick.
First of all don't be afraid of ''catch-
ing" a contagious disease but take
proper precautions, and then believe
that you and your family will keep
well,
Remember that a great number of
communicable diseases are spread by
actual contact with the germ causing
them. These germs, as in the cases
of Influenza and pneumonia, are eX-
PEELED into the air when the sick per-
son coughs, sneezes, talks fOrcibly or
careessly expectorates.
When you are near such person
protect yourself by placing your hand
kerchief over your mouth and nose.
| When you cough or sneeze, whether
sick or well, protect your neighbor by
| covering your own mouth and nose.
Avoid crowds and stay out in the
| open air as much as possible. Stay
ssss. ssps9 pceFls5' ventilated Places,
sutA as moving picture theaters and
crowded cars. Don't visit your neigh
Dor with a contagious disease unless
your services are needed If you do
go, take proper precautions not to in
hale the germ, and wash your hands
after touching the patient or anything
belonging to him.
Get plenty of sleep; keep your bed
room windows wide open, but don't
let your body get chilled. Use extra
covering when necessary. ignorance
and carelessness can spoil the best
living conditions, and sometimes,
even in the country, fresh air and sun
shine are excluded from sleeping and
living rooms. Keep the living room
well ventilated and not too warm.
Never use common drinking cups,
common towels, powder puffs belonging
to someone else, and, above all, keep
the hands clean. 1t is hardly pos
sble to overemphasize the Importance
of keeping the hands clean.
The human hand is a great carrier
of disease germs both to and from
the body. If unclean hands could be
kept away from the mouth especially
and washed before touching food, l
have no doubt that many diseases
might be avoided.
These measures are the purely me-
chanical means of preventing the
spread of contagion. 1t is reassuring
| to know, however, that really well
person is in little danger Of contract
| ing contagious disease, If he OBJ
serves reasonable precautions.
A rundown condition, either from
overwork or worry, is dangerous be-
cause such person more easily con-
| tracts disease.
To stay well keep your body clean ;
use water and soap frequently; change
| your clothes often, and wear wraps
suitable to the weather.
Don't take baths that are either too
hot or too cold. Warm baths are the
best. Don't eat too much food. but
drink plenty of water-at least three
pints day.
If you are unable to be out of doors
part of the day open the windows from
time to time and breathe good fresh
air into your lungs.
Observance Of these few simple
| rules will lessen the danger of coh-
tracing disease.

FIRE THREATENED
NAVY BUILDINGS

A spectacular blaze early today
threatened the building being con-
structed for the Navy Department at
Twentieth and B streets northwest.
The fire was discovered in a two-story
frame structure occupied by the w. G.
Cornell Company, contractors, who
are installing a heating plant in the
Navy building.
1t was shortly before 4 o'clock when
the blaze was discovered by a watch
man. He telephoned to No. % engine
company. When Battalion Chief
Henry reached Twelfth street and
Pennsylvania avenue he saw the
flames and ordered a second alarm
sounded.
Deputy Fire Chief Sullivan re,
sponded on the second alarm and took
charge. The blaze was confined to
the frame contractors building and
caused about 1000 damage. A num-
ber of drawings and papers, which can
be duplicated, were destroyed. The
fire will not interfere with the con-
struction of the Navy building. The
intense heat scorched window frames
and broke a number in the Navy build
ing. but did not seriously damage II.
While fighting the flames, Lieut..
Harry Burch, of No. . truck company,
received a wound in his right foot
when he stepped on a nail. He went
to the Emergency Hospital
A theory that the fire was due TO
German agents was secuted by navy
authorities. The origin of the fire Is
believed to have been due to crossed
electric wires.
