ARE GREAT NATIONAL. ASSET
Why 1t Is of the Utmost Importance
That Country's Forests Must Be
Properly Guarded.

A little known but highly impor-
GRAFTON and those that are to come,
is rendered by the men who guard
and care for our national forests.
These are situated in all parts Of the
country, from Porto Rico to Alaska,
and one of the most important duties
is to protect them from fire, says the
New York World.
The method employed in the Nebras-
ka National forest is to first clear
a strip of land. Twelve burrows
are plowed on each side of this and
the ground between them is burned
over. This firebreak will halt the
flames driven by a high wind. Its
cost, 80 cents mile for each furrow
over ordinary land, may run to $50
when heavy timber has to be cleared
away.
To keep the forests up to stand
ard, between 900 and t5,s22Q acres
must be planted each year. In the
A'ouSlos IL Ac5lOH VI OteGoH Lie SScuS
are sown in the snow. They are scat
tered broadcast, and as the snow melts
they sink deeper and deeper. Some
are eaten by the birds, but when the
snow has disappeared most of them
are covered with enough earth to ger
inmate and take root.
This work will yield results only in
the future, but the national forests are
already a great asset. Under expert
selection many thousand feet Of tim
Der are cut each year.

WHY -
Perfect Mirror Can BE Pro-
duced Cheaply

Primitive man used the quiet pool
for his mirror and highly polished
metal mirrors have been found in most
of the ancient ruins. For many gen.
erations mirrors have been made of
glass, mercury or quicksilver films
being the favored substance for the
rejecting medium.
The older process is fully described
in many places. 1t was attended By
uncertainty and was Objectionable for
several reasons.
The more modern method is that of
depositing metallic silver itself upon
the glass, which must be clean II an
even, homogeneous film is to be the
result. Silver in certain solutions is
easily displaced by other substances
and being no longer held in solution,
it is thrown down upon all available
surfaces. The problem is to have it
deposited at a rate that may be con
trolled and in manner to give a uni
form, continuous film free from de-
fects. A large percentage Of the sill
yer must be deposited from the solu-
ton if losses are to be avoided
Some recent work at the University
of Pittsburgh has shown that alcohol
added to the solution increases the eff
ficiency Of the process and that sugar
is an excellent retarding agent, MAX
ing it possible to control the rate of
deposition.
Formaldehyde is used as the reduc-
ing solution.
BY the use of these methods it has |
been estimated that serviceable films |
can be made at cost for material not !
exceeding a few cents per square foot
of surface.-Scientific American.

How Soldier sacrifioed himself.

Corp. Homer Wheaton, the first Sy
racuse On. " boy to be killed in &C.
ton in France, lost his life by throw.
ing his body over a grenade knowing
that it meant instant death to him
but in doing so saved the lives of four
comrades near by. This information
was given by Sergt. Edward Greed of
the 101st regiment, who has just re.
turned from the trenches.
Sergeant Greed says the five were in
dugout preparing for raid in No
Mans Land and were heavily armed
with grenades. One fell to the floor
the pin dropping out, and it would
explode in five seconds. Corporal
Wheaton without any hesitancy leaped
forward and dropped on the bomb to
save his comrades. He made no eff.
fort to grab it, but deliberately sac.
riflced his life to protect the others.
1t exploded, instantly killing him.

HOW DOGS ARE BEING
~ w TRAINED TO AID

{ AOVt TRAINED no AID
T BLIND FRENCH SOLDIERS
J Training of dogs to lead the
{ blind has become an important
! institution where thousands of
{ animals will eventually be pre-
! pared to lead sightless soldiers.
{ The work is being done under
the direction of the military au-
thorities by amateurs who
owned kennels of police and
{ hunting dogs before the war.
Several hundred poodles are
! continually trotting about the
neighborhood and through the
village, some of them "gradu-
ates" of the big training school,
leading ''poilus'' who left their
sight in the trenches or in the
battlefield. This real expert
ence puts the finishing touch
to the dogs education. The
training is divided into two pc
RODS, during the first of which
; the dog learns what is called
carriage" or road behavior, alb
; stinence from quarrels and re- .
sistance to temptations to play
ing with other dogs, neglect of
garbage boxes and butcher
shops. Next he is taught to .
avoid obstacles and how to
pick his way across the street
with regard to vehicles. Then
he is turned over to a sightless |
hero of the war and kept under ]
observation for a few days to
make sure that his training is J
complete. ]
The blind man, too, requires !
a little training with the dog, i;
for he finds it an entirely differ
ent matter to follow the string !
after having been led by the (
arm. Guided by a person, he I
abandons himself to his conduc-
tor and loses all notion of self !
reliance, feeling that he is domi- I
mated by another will than his I
own. Consequently he INSULT (
GENTLY develops his remaining (
senses to make up for the one I
that is lacking. Led by dog I
which must be ordered, no mat I
ter how efficient his training, he <
develops the sense of touch and (
hearing with remarkable rapid <
ity through the necessity of re- 5
manning constantly attentive. 4

How Temperature Changes.

Up to height of six or seven miles
the temperature falls one degree Fab
renheit for every 300 feet above sea
level. Above the seven-mile point the
temperature remains fairly level--at
least up to 18 miles.
Meteorologists call this "the in
version layer" Needless to say, the
air up there is pretty thin.
Even on the top of Mont Blanc 1t is
impossible to make good cupful Of
tea, because, owing to the greatly re.
duced pressure of the atmosphere, wa
ter boils when 1t Is only lukewarm.
