FEARED "sHARK o

Because they believed construc-
ton Of the gigantic drydock at the
Pearl Harbor naval station had de-
stroyed its home, a number of ma
tiyes recently offered sacrifice Of a
pig and a chicken to the SHARK
god" one Of the ancient Hawaiian
deities.
When, a number Of years ago, by
drostatic pressure wrecked the floor
of the drydock when work was first
started, many native Hawaiians de-
clared it was a manifestation of the
wrath of the shark god, which had
been driven from its home, and with
the huge basin Of concrete now near
ing completion it was decided to
avert another mishap by making a
sacrifice to appease the anger Of the
eyicted god
The slaughtered pig and chicken
we're supposed to have been thrown
to the sharks Of Pearl Harbor, but
rumor persists that they were res
cued and served at a luau tnatiye
feast).

HOW PEACE HIT MICE MARKET
Government Abruptly Ceased to Be a
Buyer and Consequently Price
Dropped Rapidly.

The sudden ending of the wal
caused a panic in the mouse market.
One large dealer, finding himself
'long" fifty thousand white mice,
offered the whole lot for sale at half
a cent apiece.
How cheap was this price may be
Judged from the fact that white
mice a fortnight earlier we're quoted
at 10 cents apiece in lots Of 100 OF
more. White rats were then worth
~ cents, but they dropped coinci-
IDENTIFY to 2 cents.
The reason lay in the fact that the
government, which had been buying
millions Of white mice and white
rats for medical experiments, and
for use in diagnosing war diseases
at base hospitals, withdrew from the
market.
Just now it is monkeys that are
in demand for such employment, in
connection with "au" and the new
Sleeping Sickness They are OBJ
tanned mostly from India and the
Philippines.

DISLIKE LONG FREIGHT TRAIN
Would Seem to Be Good Reason Why
Railroad Men Are Opposed to
the innovation.

The monster freight train made
up of a hundred or more cars is the
latest railway experiment. There is
one train already on record which
must have possessed something Of
the alarming proportions of the fa-
miliar sea serpent, for it had 10
loaded ears and three empties. 1t
travelled between Detroit, Mich, and
st. Thomas, Ontario. The distance,
ll5 miles, was covered in about 515
hours, OF at the rate Of something
like 20 miles an hour. Although the
records made by this and other mon
ster trains have proved to be highly
satisfactory to the officials, it is said
that the men in charge of the TRANS
do not take kindly to them, No
wonder! An engine driver, for in
stance, who requires a telescope
with which to see the greater part
of his train, or who is liable, on the
loops, to find the tail of the train in
front of the locomotive when it
should be, say, hundreds Of yards to
the rear, might well be excuses. if he
objects to such innovations.

Painting on Brass.

Unless care Is taken to have the sur
face absolutely clean, considerable diff
ficulty is encountered in attempting to
paint over polished BRASS. TO insure a
satisfactory job the brass should first
be secured with a mixture of salt and
vinegar to remove all grease, after
which the surface should be washed
with hot soap suds and wiped dry with
a clean rag. Thereafter the paint may
be applied without risk OF its running
while wet or chipping Off after 1t has
dried.

energy without using cars to carry It
there is just 81 much gain. Electricity
is energy without substance. Its

IN DEADLY PERIL
LiVers, in Their salvsaing Operations
Forced to Cope With Many
Kinds Of Dangers.

Owing to the extension Of salvage
operations, divers have been in great
demand during the war. 1t is risky
work, for the diver has to cope with
pressure and its effects, with dan
gers to his air-pipe, which, though
very stout and strong, can be 8awu
through without his perceiving what
it is rubbing against, say, a jagged
plate or other rough surface.
There is also the danger Of com
ing up too quickly in case of emer-
gency. On any accident to the air
pipe the diver has to get to the sur
face inside two minutes. This means
that the change of pressure is very
rapid and the effect on the blood
very dangerous. In the ordinary way
the diver comes up in stages, paus-
ing at intervals to accustom himself
to the new conditions.
There have been attempts to turn
him into a sort Of submarine by the
use of rigid suits. The drawback
is that he is thus unable to work,
and so far the problem Of combin-
ing movement with something which
will resist pressure does not appear
to have been solved.

There ere three vital processes Of
human eXistence,-the digestion Of
food. the extraction Of nOurishment
from It and the elimination of waste.
Poor digestion and assimilation
means failure to derive full nOurish-
ment from food and that in turn often
means impoverished blood, weakness,
anemia, etc. Poor elimination means
an accumulation Of waste matter
which p~olsons the body, lowers vitality,
decreases the power of resistance to
disease and leads to the development
OF many serious ills.
Rheumatlsm,-due to some inter-
ference with the process of elimina-
ton, failure 70 get rid Of certain body
poisons,-canrot be expected to yield
to any medicine that fails to correct
the condition responsible for It. Could
any reasonable person expect to rid
himself of rheumatic pain as long as
rheumatic poison is allowed to remain
