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 I'M
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:
at 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 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 flament, which starts a
bell to ringing continuously. The
men in the vicinity are thus notified
that gas has made its appearance
and can take the necessary precau-
lions. Officials of the Miners fed
Grafton of Great Britain have wit
messed effective tests of the methane-
phone.

DWARFED BY BIGGER EVENTS
Loss Of British WarshIp, With All
Hands, Comparatively Insignificant
item Of News Now.

Maybe you did not notice it. After
all, it was such little paragraph
a meager four lines:
'One of Fl. M. destroyers sank the
other morning, as a result of colli-
sion in foggy weather. All hands
are missing, presumably drowned"
1t 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 bulkhead gives way and a
gurgling of water-that is all. True,
on the quivering decks there stand
few figures in great sea boots and
heavy coats shouting brave orders as
the mist-wreathed waters wrap them
in their embrace.
Such q little thing. Eighty men
have been blotted out. They have
died a more horrible death than any
soldiers, save perhaps those who
perish by poison gas. Little lonely
figures in 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.

NEW USE FOR GOLD.

The war has upset many old
standards and set up new ones. One
of the curious results of this up
heaval is that gold has been reduced,
in some cases, to the role of a cheap
substitute for other metals. Hypo-
dermic needles, for instance, were
formerly made of platinum or plati-
num-iridium, two metals now prac-
tically unobtainable. The increased
war demand for these needles led to
many experiments with other metals
and alloys in the hope of finding a
good substitute.
A manufacturing concern, making
a specially of tempering precious
metals, has recently perfected a hy-
podermic needle of specially tenn
pered 14-karat gold, which offers
many advantages.
The metal has almost the hardness
and rigidity of steel, is not attacked
by steam, boiling water or chemical
solutions used for sterlizing, and the
needles are much cheaper than those
of platinum or platinum-iridium.-

SECRET OF SNAKES GLIDE.

Did you ever watch snake GID
ing over the ground in graceful
curves, and did you ever stop to
think of the mechanical principles
involved in its motionp The snake
moves along the ground in undulat-
ing curves produced by the contrac-
ton of the longitudinal system Of
muscles in alternate sections Of its
body. That alone would not pro-
duce a forward motion, however,
were it not for the friction of the
scales on the underside of the snakes
body against the roughness of the
ground. By bracing the rear part Of
the body the forward part is enabled
to glide forward and by reversing
the process the rear part is dragged
forward to a new position.-Popular

DEMANDS BRAVERY AND SKILL
Work Of Signal Corps Men Is as DAN
gerous as That Of Any Branch
of the Service.

In no war in the past have the
electric signaling systems covered so
many square miles or such great
diversity of requirements. The COM
handing general wants to know how
a certain division is progressing; an
artillery captain wants to ascertain
just where his shells are dropping;
these and million other facts must
be transmitted every hour Of the day
along the hundreds of miles OF bat
tie front, says the Electrical Expert
menter. And it is really marvellous
how the army signal corps has per-
fected its frail-looking wires and in
struments so that they will work un-
der the most unfavorable conditions.
Romance, adventure, action-all
of these come to the signal corps
man in the pursuit of his duties
more than ever before. Today he
may install a telephone switch
board in cheerful little town near
grand headquarters, situated dozen
miles back of the battle front. To-
morrow he may be stringing wires
through shell-swept forest.
One case will serve to show the lot
tery-like chance these men take. An
English military lineman had been
busy for several weeks in district
near the Aisne battle front. He had
completed Strengthening out per-
feet jungle of wires and circuits.
His captain came along and was
pleased to learn that all of the cir
cults had been tested out without
losing a man. The same captain
was grieved to hear the next day
that this brave ineman, his work
done, had been picked out of q pole
top by stray shell.
