Radium irHSea Salt.

2 Samples of sea salt collected dur.
Ing recent VOYAGE in the Pacific and
subantarctic regions have been exam

amount Of radium, was found to be
negligibly small compared with val

that the radfum 4 content Of sea salt

Emotions and the Eve,

The thing we look at straightest and
most steadily is the eye Of the man or
woman who talks to US. And no emo.
ton changes the glistening Of that eye.
Yet, so unobservant are we all, espe-
cially descriptive novellsts, that eyes,
in fiction, always flash, and no doubt
will always flash, under the stress OF
any kind of rage. The assassin Of the
surgeon in Paris the other day went
to his deed, as we read in the flcti.
tious part Of the report Of witness
with eyes that flashed according tc
custom. Now the human eye has two
places for flashing-one in the cleal
pupil, showing one point Of light OF
more according to the light or lights
reflected; the other in the white
Neither of these brightnesses depends
upon the mind. .@r.

Can shvness Be Cured?

What is the remedy for shyness
What is the shy man to do in order
that he may be shy no longer?
The remedy is simple, and is to be
found by consideration of the cause.
The shy person is shy in the presence
Of strangers only. Let him have no
opportunity of meeting strangers, and
let the opportunity be abolished not
by abolition of the meetings, but by
abolition Of the strangeness. In other
words, shy persons are those who in
early life had not practice and no ex-
perience in meeting strangers, and so
having the attention of strangers di-
rectcd to them and attracted to them.
If the meeting with strangers becomes
customary it loses its strangeness.

British Army Deserter Showed Daring

Escape From Prisons.

Three daring escapes made by q
British army deserter with ten cOnvic
tons against him--all for crimes OF

few days ago, relates London
Chronicle. The man, George Mullins
was sentenced to six months impris

to Wandsworth. There he was trained
for the army and taken to France in
handouts. In a few weeks he con-
trived to get leave and, returning to
England, deserted. He was arrested
last April, but, although handcuffed,
he escaped from his escort. After q
brief spell of liberty Mullins was
again captured, and with five others
was put in the guardroom at Wands.

and sang at the top Of their voices
Mullins cut a hole in the wall and all
the six escaped. In the following May
the man was again arrested, and
taken this time to Bethnal Green pc.

a newly built cell. Again he managed
to escape by loosening number OF
bricks, climbing through a ventilator
and dropping down water pipe into
the street. The other night Mullins
was arrested by Detective Sharp in
Stepney. A big and violent crowd,
the officer said, gathered and pelted

Pharaoh's serpent's Egg Trick.

One of the most amusing tricks in
fireworks is the serpent's egg trick
where little pellet when lighted turns
into a horrible snake, many, many
times the size Of the pellet. How awe
inspiring it is to the youngsters! Most
people have no idea what in the world
causes the snake to appear. The ex-
PLANTATION is simple. Mercury sulpho-
cyanid burns with a voluminous ash
The little pellet is nothing more, than
some mercury sulphosyanid. The heat
causes the ash to move off so quickly
from the burning pellet that it writhes
and distorts itself into the shape Of a
miniature snake.

GET LESS HARD COAL
County Fuel Administrator
Wiegand Receives State
ment of County's Distribu-
fian

Eagle River, together with the
rest of Wisconsin, in 191S-19

less anthracite coal than it was
furnished during the winter of

ment from the Anthracite COM
mittee of the United States Fuel

c. H. Wiegand, fuel administra-
tor for Villas county.

coal year together with the
percentage OF allotment as in
creased or decreased in compari-
son with basic coal year 1916
II.
According to the table the
northwest, including Wisconsin,
Minnesota and the two Dakotas
will receive total allotment Of
2,38O,OOO tons of hard coal, as
compared with 2,71O,199, a
decrease of 1918 per cent. Wis

Canadian Mounted Police.

That law and order can be main
tanned in wild and unsettled terri
tory of thousands of square miles by
handful of men may seem remark
able to many. Such is the task OF
the Mounted Police of the Canadian
Northwest, and in their hands it is a
job we'll done. When a mounted
policeman receives his orders to get
law breaker, he starts and does not
return until he gets his man. When
he fails to return it is because he has
given his life in performance of his
duty, and a comrade takes up the
trail where he fell. Sooner or later
the fugitive is brought back to JUS
tice.
About four years ago two mission
aries were murdered by their Esqui-
maux guides and two Mounted
Policemen were sent after the MUIR
derers. The trail led far beyond the
Arctic Circle, but in spite of hardships
and exposures, frost bite and snow
blindness, they returned with the four
criminals after chase of thousands
of miles, two years after the start.
The methods of the Mounted
Police will be shown in the photo
