WAR INVENTIONS.

Homer's Had tells us how the
Greeks, though beleaguering for
ten years, were unable to take the
city, nor could they force the Tro-
jams to surrender. Finally, so the
legend goes, the Greeks construct
ed huge wooden horse, which in
it's Interior concealed many Greek
warriors. This horse was rolled
triumphantly into Troy by the Tro-
jams, but during the night the
Greek men escaped from the horse
and threw open the portals of the
city. The Greek hosts having re-
turned now swarmed into the city
and sacked Troy. This was over
two thousand years ago. Legends
such as these, it seems, were just
as popular then as they are now;
at any rate the longing in the hui
man breast for the spectacular dur
ing wartime seems hard to eradi-
cate.
1t is only natural that war weary
people should be fond of giving
their imagination free reign and of
hoping that some miracle wonder
full invention will suddenly appear
which will end the war with QUE
stroke.
Unfortunately, history, with hard
ly any exceptions, teaches us that
but few wars were won by means
of any one war invention. Wars in
recent times from Napoleon down
to this day were not won by means
of any particular invention. Napo-
leon did not surrender on account
of a war weapon that was known
only to his conquerors. Nor were
the American Civil War, the Fran
co-Prussian War, or the Russo-Jap-
anese War won or lost by a new
war machine.
If this is true of all other great
wars, how much truer is it of the
present cataclysm. Unheard and I'M

have staggered humanity twenty
years ago, have been thrown into

USES OF TIN CANS.
Hy Lone Scout Alfred p. GrooS,
HrNNe Mick

AS tin is now very scarce and as
the price is very high, boys who are
a least bit handy can make use Of
a good supply of old tin cans found
about the yard. Their uses are as
| follows:
Large four-quart cans will make
! good martin houses if a hole is cut
near the top for an entrance and
several in a cluster mounted on a
| tree or a tall pole.
Smaller cans may be used for
wren houses to be put on fence
/ posts near bushes or other places
of shelter from the elev of enemy
birds.
What boy doesn't use tin can
for worms or bugs when he goes
out a fishin'?
! Or tie two or three on dogs
tail in order to get rid of him.
! If you possess pair of tin cut
tiers you can make small dishes for
feeding and watering rabbits, pig
cons and other small pets.
They can also be used for bicycle
repair containers.
A strip of tin will also make a
| good joint for tent pole. In this
way you can unjoint your tent poles
like casting rod and it will be
much easier to carry.
Small scraps of tin may be used
for patching mouse and rat holes.
Two cans will make good
double boiler to soften glue, wax,
etc.
Cans with tight-fitting covers can
be used for storing bicycle cement
and other liquids.
| A can may be used for baking po-
tatoes or popping corn while in
camp.
A can punched full of holes will
make good bait can for live bait
such as mice and birds, which are
used by trappers.
Tin of the sides of cans may be
put around bird house entrances
for protection against cats.
A foot stool can be made of to.
mato cans by tying them together
and covering the top and sides with
cloth.
A good dark room light may be
made of a can with alight inside
and a movable red cloth over the
top end.
A very good life preserver can be
made of two four-quart pals with
tight covers by quitting one in each
end of a -four sack and sewing

Boarding School Days
Sixty Years Ago

Sixty years ago there were two
sisters who went to boarding
school 1t all was SO different then
from now. The girls wore queer,
old-fashioned dresses with tight lit
tie waists and long full skirts. and
instead Of having taxi cabs to take
them from the station to the
school, lazy old horse plodded
along. drawing the queer old
fashioned hack or coupe.
The girls were taught to be very
quiet and lady-like, and were not to
be seen publicly with boys or
young men, except on very special
occasions.
There were many other differ
ences, and in reading the present
Junior newspaper. one of the sis
tiers who lives in Richmond, has
been reminded so often Of her own
school days that she has written
to tell about them.
One of the delights of my school
life in the Seminary where my sis
ter and l spent two years. was
the Wednesday afternoon half-holi-
day. which was ours during the
spring and early summer, when
with our teachers we climbed the
adjacent hills, and gathered wild
flowers which grew in great profu-
sion and variety.
These excursions were no doubt
begun in the interest of the class
in botany, but were enjoyed by all
the schools The flowers were tax.

their preparation.
The family in the Seminary con-

wife, the united head of the institu-
ton, a corps of six teachers. and
thirty pupils. In the school room
this number was more than

and note the vast improvements in
textbooks, methods Of teaching
and all things connected with
schools, none the less admire the
wisdom of the teachers In their eff
forts to lay deep and secure the
foundation upon which education
must rest.
Every morning, as recreation
from the pursuit of verbs and equa-
tons, we had a short exercise in
mental arithmetic, and each after
noon before we joined in our clos
ing song, a tap of the bell called
us to the floor, and we formed into
class to drill and define words
chosen from Webster's dictionary.
When conditions favored, lessons
in astronomy were often supple
mented by study of the Heavens,
and a call to leave our books and
go out of doors was always well
come, whether a night in June or
in frosty mid-winter.
Here we were taught to name
and place stars of first magnitude,
notable ones of lesser size, trace
prominent groups and constella-
tons, and thus was begun an in
