IRISH SOLDIERS.

In selecting for eulogy the
"bravery and endurance" of the Irish
troops, Mr.. Balfour has hit upon the
very qualities for which they were
commended, says the London Chron.
icle, TO an ancestor Of his, Robert
Cecil, first earl Of Salisbury, in 1894.
A recruiting officer Of that period,
Captain Dawtry, writing to advise
the raising Of an Irish regiment, said
'there can be no better soldiers upon
the earth than they be, either for
the use of their weapons, or the
strength of their bodies and minds,
for they are such seasoned men for
the war that they can endure all for
tunes whatsoever, and they will keep
health when others, with a little ex-
tremity will lie by the wall"

FOR n AIRMEN.

During a discussion in parliament
recently the first lord Of the admir-
atty was asked what arrangements, II
any, are made TO supply pilots Of air
planes, and all airmen bound on
long-distance oversee flights with
emergency rations and with facili-
ties for obtaining drinking water
when flying in machines with air
cooled motors or for tapping the rad
iator for drinking water in machines
with water-cooled motors. In an
swering the question, says a corre-
spondent, Doctor McNamara stated
that emergency rations consisting
Of matted milk, bovril and choco-
late, are supplied to royal navy air
stations for the use Of pilots Of sea-
planes and airmen engaged in over
sea flights. Drinking facilities are
provided for by the issue Of thermos
TASKS. No facilities have been pro-
yided for tapping the radiators Of
water-cooled motors, the contents OF
which are more likely to act medi.
cinally than otherwise.

MAY END FEAR OF DENTISTS
elmpllHed Method OF Filling 10 More
Effective and Requires Less
Painful Excavation.

The research work introduced at
the Forsyth Dental infirmary, Bos-
ton, promises to bring about impor-
tant changes in dental practice. The
institution treats the teeth Of 1900
children weekly, relates a corre-
spondent, and with such an album
dance Of material, DR.. Percy r.
Howe, Of the research laboratory, has
been able TO make an elaborate study
Of the harmful and harmless organ
isms Of mouth and teeth.
The cause Of carries appears to be
bacteria Of the so-called Moro Tis-
sier group. These bacteria, II is
found, may 60 deeper than the usual
limits of excavation, penetrating into
the solid dentine, and the ordinary
filling may close up the tooth with
active germs Of decay remaining in
it. Experiments suggest a simpli-
fled method of filing, that is more
effective, while requiring less Of the
painful and troublesome excavation.
With a portion only Of the decayed
material removed, the cavity is in
jected with nitrate Of silver solution,
and this is followed by formalin,
precipitating the silver. Steriliza-
ton is complete, a deposit Of metallic
silver being left throughout the
putrescent pulp, as well as in cracks
and canals. The deposit may be
thickened by repeated applications,
and a smooth antiseptic base is pro-
vided for the usual filings. In
chronic assesses and troubles with
the tip of the tooth, the new process
has given good results.

TIES OF MOTHER COUNTRY.

Establishment Of a society to be
known as the Spanish Center OF
Guatemala, in the capital city Of that
Central American republic, will be,
says the Christian Science Monitor,
for the numerous Spanish residents
there, a means of renewing and re.
vivifying the memories Of their
mother land, Spain. And this sort
Of thing in the Americas is only the
reflex Of that renewal Of interest and
family feeling that has been growing
in its expression, Of late, as from
spain to her sons and daughters on
the American side. Il is manifest
ing itself in many ways, from books
and dissertations to methods Of re-
caiving Spanish American ambassa'
lors at the court Of Spain.

Although the king lie TO tap 30

the youths hand and wrist with am

LEARNING IN EUROPE

After the fall Of the Roman EN-.
pire learning became almost UNI
known in Europe. The invasion Of
the Teutonic barbarians swept away
science, art and literature and left
all peoples exhausted by war and
stepped in ignorance. During these
centuries the only culture that the
world knew was carried on by the
Arabs. When at length western Eu-
rope had recovered and was ready to
learn once more, she looked to the
Moors for inspiration and pattern
and found there astrology, arithme-
tic, medicine and alchemy. This
last made a particular appeal. Dur
ing the centuries which followed all
the manifestations Of nature were
studied under the name Of alchemy.

FUR

While every ones attention was
detracted by the war, the fur-farm-
ing industry Of Canada has been
growing out Of the speculative stage
and into that Of production, cites the
Chicago Journal. In Prince Edward
Island the fox ranchers are taking a
very large number Of skins and get
ting good prices for them-as high,
In a few instances, as $1,000 per
pelt. About 1000 fox pups have
been raised on the ranches. No fg-
ures are available from fur farms
farther West. In the case Of rubber,
the cultivated product has gained q
clear supremacy over the wild ar
ticle. II does not follow that the
same will hold true Of furs. Some
Of the finest pelts come from animals
that no one has yet attempted to
raise in captivity-seal, fisher, mink,
beaver, marten. A few Of these may
be "domesticated" later, however
but ever II fur farming stops with
the fox, the reindeer and the Kara
kul sheep, ii will be an important
industry.

into space suspended by one wrist. The
muscles of Elliot hardened into steel as
they responded to the strain. His body
began to slide very slowly down the
incline.
In moment the acute danger was
past. Sheba had found a hold with
her feet and relieved somewhat the
dead pull upon Elliot.
She had not voiced a cry. but the
face that looked up into his was very

matter-of-fact way.
With his help she came chose enough
for him TO reach her hand. After that
it was only a moment before she knelt
on the plateau beside him.
Touch and go, wasn't it?' Sheba
tried to smile, but the colOrless lips
told the young man she was still faint
from the shock
He knew he was going to reprOach
himself bitterly for having led her into
such a risk, but he could not just now
afford TO waste his energies on regrets.
''You might have sprained your wrist, -
he said lightly as he rose to examine
the cliff still to be negotiated.
Her dark eyes looked at him with
quick surprise. $50 1 might" she
answered dryly.
But his Indifferent tone had the eff
feet upon her of a plunge into cold
water. It braced and stiffened her
will. If he wanted to ignore the ter
rible danger through which she had
passed. certainly she was not going to
remind him of IL.
Gordon was mountaineer enough to
know that the climb up is safer than
the one back. The only possible way
for them TO go down the trough was
for him to lower her by the belt until
she found footing enough to go alone
He did not quite ADMIT it to himself
but in his heart he doubted whether
she could make it safely.
The alternative was the cliff face.

rose sharply. Gordon looked a little
obviously at Sheba
''Are you a good CLIMBER"
''I'm sure I must be-" she answered
with smile adorable. ST believe

Well up on the shoulder OF the ridge
they stopped TO breathe. The distant
noise of falling water came family to
them.
''We're too far to the Ieft-must
have followed the wrong spur Elliot
explained. Probably we can cut
across the face of the mountain"
Presently they came TO an impasse.
The gulch between the twO-spurs ter
minated in a rock wall that fell almost
sheer for two hundred feet.
The color in the cheeks beneath the
eager eyes of the girl was warm.
Let's try it," she begged.
The young man had noticed that she
was as sure-fOOted as mountain goat
and that she could stand on the edge
OF precipice without dizziness. The
surface OF the wall was broken. What
it might be beyond he could not tell,
but the first fifty feet was a bit of
attractive and not too difficult rock
traverse.
They had been following a ledge
that narrowed till it ran out. Jutting
knobs of feldspar and stunted shrubs

grips instead of the even foothoId of
the rock itself. As Gordon looked
down at the dizzy fall beneath them
his judgment told him they had better
go back. He said as much TO his COM
panion.
The smile she flashed at him was de-
lightfully provocative. $50 you think
I'm a 'fraid-cat. Mr.. ELLIOTT
His inclination marched with hers.
1t was their first adventure together
and he did not want to spoil it by IN
due caution. There really was not
much danger yet so long as they were
careful.
Gordon abandoned the traverse and
followed an ascending crack in the
wall. The going was hard. He looked
down at the girl wedged between the
slopes of the granite trough.
She read his thought. 1.-The Old
Guard never Surrenders, sir. was her
quick answer as she brushed in salute
with the tips of her fingers a stray lock
OF hair.
The trough was worse than Eliot
had expected It had in it a good deal
of loose rubble that started in small
slides at the least pressure.
''Be very careful of your footing" he
called back anXiously.
A small grassy platform lay above
the upper end OF the trough, but the
last dozen feet Of the approach was a
very difficult bit. Gordon fought his
way up with his back against one wall
and his knees pressed to the other

end over the trunk of the dwarf tree.

"AIl right. But you can't make 1t.
I'm coming down again"
I'D like to try it. I'll stop IL It's
too hard" she promised.
The strength OF her slender wrists
surprised him. She struggled I'D the
vertical crevasse inch by inch. His
heart was full of fear, for a misstep
now would be fatal. He lay down with
his face over the ledge and lowered
to her the buckled loop Of his belt.
Twice she stopped exhausted, her
back and her hands pressed against
the walls OF the trough angle for sup
